I was going to make Appo's point. The idea for the area itself is good and I think would be beneficial (so long as it's relatively small, we don't want another G6 situation where everything's so spread out that people become less and less common to find), but I think trying to tie special benefits to it inevitably makes it necessary for everyone to participate in. Not everyone wants that, but tying rewards to it makes it feel functionally mandatory.

Just make it an area with a few inns and normal item shops and call it a day, IMO.
