Deeds (Land Plots)
Deeds represent ownership of virtual land plots in the game world and are implemented as ERC721 non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Each deed corresponds to a unique plot within a specific "Settlement" in the procedurally generated world.
Utility
Ownership and Control: Grants full control over a specified virtual land plot within a Settlement.
Building and Services:
Players can construct buildings on their plots, providing in-game functionalities and services to themselves and others.
Services are transacted using in-game commodities like GLOW or through mutual agreements.
Resource Extraction:
Land plots may contain finite "raw materials" (soft commodities) determined algorithmically during minting.
Players can explore plots during the "Twilight" phase to assess potential resources.
User-Generated Content (UGC):
Owners can decide the type of buildings constructed using pre-designed or community-created prefabs.
Construction projects may allow resource contributions from other players, offering shared benefits.
Building Upgrades:
Structures can be leveled up with enhancements (e.g., Legendary equipment), adding more utility or narrative flair.
Wonders: Aesthetic-only buildings that contribute to player-driven narratives and may be rewarded with $RLM tokens.
Types of Deeds
Genesis Deeds:
Part of the "Land Fall" event around the Lighthaven Settlement (central and community-owned).
Settlement Deeds:
Associated with a Spire and thematically tied to the larger region.
Acquisition
Settlement Protection:
Settlements are safeguarded by Regional Spires, which are vital to the game's lore and dynamic gameplay (Light vs. Dark Spire states).
Liberation Mechanic:
Players ignite "Dark Spires" using Glowstones (soft commodities) to transition them to "Light Spires."
Land Auctions:
Twilight Auction: Priority access for top contributors during the Spire ignition phase (12 hours) (all bids must be in $RLM)
Day-Break Auction: Open to all players for a 24-hour window. (All bids must be in $RLM)
OpenSea Public Sales: All remaining plots are listed on OpenSea.
Key Concepts
Glowstones: Soft commodities required to ignite and maintain Light Spires.
Dynamic Spires: The visual state of Spires reflects the ongoing conflict between light (players) and dark (AI-controlled Shadow Wraiths).
Combat and Resources: Dark Spires provide combat opportunities against Shadow Wraiths to earn Glowstones.
Rewards
Igniting Dark Spires triggers:
$RLM token rewards (see Rewards System).
