'''Defiled Shrine''' is a [[Landmark]] from [[Empires]].  It acts kind of like a [[Gathering]] card, accumulating {{VP}} [[Victory token|tokens]] as players gain [[Action]]s, and then giving them to a player when they buy a {{Card|Curse}}.

== FAQ ==
=== Unofficial FAQ (2022) ===

* Note that this triggers on gaining an Action at any time, but only on gaining Curse during the Buy phase; gaining Curse at other times will not get you any {{VP}}. 
* {{VP}} tokens will go on the [[Ruins]] pile (from [[Dark Ages|Dominion: Dark Ages]]) when used, but not on {{Card|Farmers' Market}}, {{Card|Temple}}, or {{Card|Wild Hunt}} (the three Action–Gathering cards).

=== Other rules clarifications ===
* Although Defiled Shrine itself does not place {{VP}} tokens on Gathering Action Supply piles, it will still move {{VP}} tokens off their piles when you gain one of them.
** However, when you gain a {{Card|Temple}}, you can take all the {{VP}} on it before attempting to send one to Defiled Shrine.
* If other Action Supply piles are added to the game during setup (e.g. [[Looter]]s adding the [[Ruins]] pile, or {{Card|Young Witch}} adding an Action Supply pile as its Bane), those piles starts with 2{{VP}}.
* If you remove an Action from the Supply without gaining it (e.g. you exile it with {{Card|Camel Train}}), the {{VP}} stays on the pile. 
* If you gain an Action from the trash (with e.g. {{Card|Lurker}}), you'll move 1{{VP}} from its pile onto Defiled Shrine.
* With certain [[split pile]]s, you can send Defiled Shrine's {{VP}} onto {{Landmark|Aqueduct}} instead. For example, if you rotate the {{Card|Odysseys}} to {{Card|Sunken Treasure}}, then gaining a {{Card|Sunken Treasure}} will move 1{{VP}} to {{Landmark|Aqueduct}}. 
* Defiled Shrine got errata in 2022 so that you take its {{VP}} when you gain a {{Card|Curse}} in your Buy phase. This means that you now get {{VP}} if you gain the {{Card|Curse}} by buying it, or if you gain it during your Buy phase in another way (e.g. from {{Event|Ritual}}).
** If gaining an Action card in your Buy phase causes you to gain a {{Card|Curse}} (e.g. from another player's {{Card|Swamp Hag}}), you can move 1{{VP}} from the Action card's pile to Defiled Shrine, and then gain the Curse and immediately take all the {{VP}}.
** If you gain a {{Card|Curse}} during another player's Buy phase (e.g. you gain a {{Card|Curse}} from their {{Card|Cauldron}}), you won't get the {{VP}}.

=== Why is the shrine "defiled"? ===
{{Quote|Text=
 I don't think a plain Shrine would involve buying a {{Card|Curse}}.

=== Secret History ===
{{Quote|Text=It triggered on gaining a {{Card|Curse}}, but it was not entertaining in games with {{Card|Witch|Witches}}, so now you have to buy the {{Card|Curse}}. The "non-Gathering" thing was a late change to deal with poor interactions between this and the cards that put {{VP}} on their own piles. It's kind of weird to have that type there just for this one thing, but it also ties the cards together. That's what I said when insisting on that change, and people's reactions to the [[Gathering]] cards has borne that out; they really are tied together.
