NOTE: any numbers/figures are placement holders - estimations that haven't been tested out for validity - we're looking at a concept here.
Two part suggestion: (because this is a huge undertaking - but nothing Luthius couldn't handle!)
Purchasing and upgrading a territory through the guild menu - requires funds to be in the guild treasure (treasuries expanded to hold dubs, leather, ore, lumber).
The territory can be leveled up to 3 times after being placed - as long as it meets the criteria for the level up. If at anytime you didn't meet the monthly upkeep (this could be assessed and withdrawn weekly), your territory go into disrepair and would drop a level, until it disappeared.

Territory Levels: (in order to place or expand an area there must be no available placements available in it, and all houses must be owned by the guild.)

- Phase 1 rollout could be assigning/protecting territory.
- Phase 2 could be adding additional elements to your territory (NPC's, guards, block recalls in/out, gates in/out, lawless, non-lawless)
- a guild territory allows you to lock down the area around a guildstone, to protect it, and build upon it, because you've worked for and own all the available housing locations within the area.
- To protect land areas where people have labored to bring all the area into a guild, from things that happen in life such as members who disappear, or are no longer able to play the game.
- To provide an avenue & outlet for building upon an RP world, and interacting with that world, and creating a place for people to travel to and enjoy.
- tied to the guildstone menu as an additional page - or in the guild menu.
- a guild territory cannot overlap any other guild territory - including within your own guild - you can have multiple territories though.
- a guild territory could only contain houses that belong to the guild - and could only be placed if all houses in it belonged to the guild.
- a guild territory comes with a substantial cost, and upkeep.
- a guild territory would only the guild it belongs to, to place houses in it. (this protects house spots when they fall in your territory).
- a guild territory would only allow you to sell your house to a member of the guild it belonged to.
- if a house was no longer affiliated with the guild (owner left guild, quit, etc) the house would fall if not sold to a member in the guild.

- Vendors placed within a guild territory, could have a fee go directly to the guild treasury
- Allow a number of unique/limited placement ideas such as bonfires, mining carts, other land deco, that could be placed
- How will this affect monster spawns in an area, especially with the travel restrictions? (ie. water spirit)
- you already added stablemaster/dockmasters - with zero upkeep - would love to see them a part of this though.
- added mounts under travel
- split out special shopkeepers
