Villages are a new feature in Dusk of Discordia. Think of them as past clan plugins, but now with more automation and more structure - not to mention, a whole lot more stable and with many more features.
-----
You will be able to buy a village for 1500 Topians. A Village will give you a clan tag in chat, your own chat, PVP protection from all within your village region and PVP protection from clan members, and and your own village bank.
A village has a Mayor, typically the founding player (but leadership can be transferred) who will have their own rank with extra permissions and a special Diplomacy chat to talk with other Village mayors. Villages can be expanded by the mayor by paying extra money from the village bank per chunk, and thus can be very selectively done to fit your needs.
Top villages will pop up in a periodic scoreboard function, and will be available to view in an in-game list. Work together with your village members to create the largest village in size and population, and the richest village. Good luck!
