Shrines, usually statues or monuments to certain Deities of Achaea, are found on nearly all continents and planes. Offerings of gold or corpses may be offered at a shrine to increase the essence pool of the God, which in turn allows Order members to perform such tasks as worldburning their enemies and healing their Order members.
Once a shrine is erected by a member of a Divine Order of sufficient rank, it must be sanctified with offerings. Through the process of sanctification, it will undergo several physical changes from a crude, dormant shrine into a large, powerful one.
Shrines may be destroyed by the act of defiling. A vast amount of essence is required to destroy a shrine utterly, but doing so successfully will, in turn, cost the Divine essence. Each Divine is said to have a Master Shrine. Usually found within the safety of the God's temple, the Master Shrine cannot be destroyed through normal means.
In the year 725 AF, a new type of shrine a shrine to the meld is so far not able to be sanctified or defiled.
