Here is some ideas we have around the potential land systems for DFK.

Land plots have bonuses similar to c/sJewel but instead of jewel staked, it’s heroes staked. Instead of calling it staked, its heroes defending/guarding the land. This provides some bonuses to members of the land for activities done on the land (future mechanics like E.g., crafting, region locked questing, etc).

Since heroes are defending the land for these bonuses, naturally they are fighting something, so periodically there could be monsters/dragon that surveys the realm that “attack” and trigger a small hero burn %, like a PJ kraken. The stronger the heroes defending, the higher the chance of survivability.

This way land owners have incentive to start guilds and perhaps create their own mini economies for providing benefits to their members. Guilds and players then will need to balance their heroes between defending land as a guild, questing individually, crafting materials, playing combat.
