We could use a Dream World of sort, where the player could sleep with a certain item to enter a B&W color version of Mt.H to obtain rare items. The items obtained depend on the last 10-15 enemies killed. A new 'profile' of sorts could be created in the Dream World and items obtained could only be transferd to the Real World by means of spell. Then, if the player holds a similar certain item, he/she could enter a Nightmare World, where the last 20 Enemies killed appear and threaten to destroy Dream Progess by 'killing' the player.
(Oh god I'm full of it xD) We could add a sort of Gauntlet to test player on the important basics and views of the game. Survivors could earn money, items, etc.
I think Tarantoor should have a strong military with high economy but be a monarchy with minimal civil rights. That's the political orientation of most medieval empires.
