I like the idea of region lords being able to construct a single statue/monument.  It needn't have any in-game mechanics associated save for construction/destruction/rot/view, and the corresponding messages on construction/destruction.  Basically a nerfed shrine with a description.  I am torn on the idea of putting a link to in on the arrival page, though it might add to the immersion somewhat.

Though elaborate monuments to the dead exist in some region descriptions, the role-play feel advantages, and permanence of this route seem obvious.  The downside would be that the monument would be set in stone, not terribly conducive to a cemetery.  Perhaps the description could allow appending, but not overwriting, at significant cost of course.

The monument could have 4 sides, so a maximum of 3 updates (plus the initial inscription).
