Shrines, usually statues or monument to certain dieties of Achaea, are found on nearly all continents and planes. Offerings of gold or corpses may be left at a shrine, to increase the essence pool of the god, which in turn allows them to perform such tasks as worldburning their enemies and healing their order members.

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. It is usually found within the safety of Their temple although Master Shrines cannot be destroyed through normal means.
