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.
