Shrine

Shrine is a type of Aspect in the Exile DLC. There are shrines to the Colonel and shrines to the Lionsmith, located across the map in cities identified by Aspects Cult of the Colonel or Cult of the Lionsmith.

Shrines can be visited with Desires or Lore. They cannot be visited when Tranquillity is on the board. Any meditation consumes the Shrine.

The Unflinching Vow / The Brazen Vow
Cost: Temptation: Escape Requires: Temptation: Defiance, Shrine: Colonel / Lionsmith Effect: Gain a mark of defiance and a Wound / Rage "'Each torment is a lesson. Each scar is a weapon. There is no defeat but annihilation.'"

- The Unflinching Vow "'From valour, strength. From strength, valour. There is no defeat but shame.'"

- The Brazen Vow

Consecration
Requires: Temptation: Defiance Effect: Gain a Wound (Colonel) / Rage (Lionsmith). Gain a mark of defiance and become consecrated to the Shrine's Hour. (You can no longer use the other's Shrines, but your Lore can gain additional Aspects.) "I have masked my eyes and scarred my skin. I have bound myself with the Nine Patient Oaths. I am a soldier of the Colonel, who will not release me."

- A Consecration to the Colonel "I have spilt the beast's blood and scorched my skin. I have undergone the Three Valorous Trials. I am a warrior of the Lionsmith, unless some day he releases me."

Upgrade Lore
Requires: Lore Effect: Upgrade the Lore. If consecrated, the Lore gains additional Aspects according to the Hour's principles, and you suffer a Wound or Rage. If lore is at max level, gain your patron's favor and reveal one of your foe's weaknesses.

Antaeum
The Antaeum in Tripoli has additional story actions available. These do not consume the Shrine and can be accessed even if Tranquillity is in play.
