'''Not to be confused with [[Shrine of Courage]] and [[Shrines]].'''

==Description==
'''Deep Shrines''' are a group of 9 shrines sharing identical appearance (excluding Solitude), scattered across Lumen. Each bestows different deals in exchange for the client's [[knowledge]]. Each Deep Shrine can be found in a unique location in the overworld as well as the [[Temple of Hearts]], accessible by Deepbounds and anyone who has obtained their resonance. 
==Limitations==
'''Deep Shrines''' can only be interacted with after approximately ~10 minutes of spawning, so trying to Deepbound won't work.

|-|Shrine of Blasphemy=
[[File:Shrine of Blasphemy Hidden Village.png|thumb|250px|The Shrine of Blasphemy, Up-Front angle]]
{{Quotes|quote=YOU ARE WEAK, FRAGILE. I WILL SHAPE YOUR SKULL INTO SOMETHING MAGNIFICENT.|author=Shrine of Blasphemy}}

Located at the [[The Hidden Village|Hidden Village]] of Erisia, obscured by vines and wood.
== Effect ==
This shrine has 2 effects depending on your Power:
*Power 1-16: For 5 Knowledge, instantly Power Up 3 times, gaining the relevant amount of Talents and Whisper Draws. However, you gain a Flaw and must catch up on the 45 Investment points of these 3 Power Ups. This can only be done once per character.
*Power 17-20: For 5 Knowledge, reroll a Flaw of your choice into another, random Flaw.

== Details ==
*Bear in mind that the many card draws you will perform are based on your current stats, '''you do not gain any attribute points from this'''.
*The 45 Investment Points you need to catch up will make it harder to recover a Life while in the Overworld.
*With the 3 Power Ups granted, you immediately gain 3 Knowledge.
*Since you gain bonus damage in PVE based on your level, you immediately attain higher damage.

|-|Shrine of Mastery=
[[File:Temp_Shrine_of_Mastery.png|thumb|250px]]
{{Quotes|quote=PUPPET. STATE YOUR PURPOSE.|author=Shrine of Mastery}}

Located in the entrance cave before [[Deep Widow]] in the [[Widow's Hollow]], in the little house where [[Ciea]] is located.

== Effect ==
For 1 Knowledge, you can trade 1 of your [[Traits|Trait]] Points into another Trait. You can also remove attribute points.

== Details ==
*Bear in mind that you still cannot add more than 6 Points into a given Trait.
*'''You also cannot remove more than 3 attribute points per character (only a max of 3 points can be moved on a character).'''
*You '''cannot''' remove innate attribute points granted by your race.
*Despite popular belief, you can still change your attributes with this <u>after</u> Shrine of Order, though with a caveat.
**For example: If you Shrine of Order, and your [[Attributes#Agility|Agility]] goes from 1 -> 27, you can use shrine of mastery to lower it to 24, as long as you don't have a talent that costs 25 agility. 
**This is useful for cleaning up Shrine of Order "defects." As you can just lower it to 25 agility, and have 2 points spent elsewhere.
*You cannot re-arrange stats if you have a talent that requires a higher investment of said stat.
**For example: If you went 40 Strength to pick Showstopper and used the Shrine of Order to reduce your Strength, you wouldn't be able to remove points off Strength as long as you have Showstopper.

*If you no longer meet the requirements for your weapon after using Shrine of Mastery, you will keep it equipped, but you'll receive a penalty of dealing 35% less damage on your melee attacks.

*Even if you no longer meet the requirements for a mantra's level upgrade after using Shrine of Mastery, you will keep it at that level with no drawback.

*The attribute point reallocation works on the stat requirements on almost all [[Oaths]], allowing you to go below your Oath stat reqs while keeping your Oath.
**The only exception to this is [[Oath: Arcwarder|Arcwarder]], as you cannot lower your Flamecharm or Thundercall due to the Flamecharm and Thundercall Adept talents.
**The theorized reason for why this works at all is that the Oath trainers do a "check" to see if you meet the requirements to obtain their Oath, but the Oath talents themselves have no stat requirement attached to them.
**When this was brought to the attention of Arch_Mage, one of the main developers, he said "3 points aint the end of the world." 
*This shrine does not count for the "Bargained with Deep Shrines" echo.

|-|Shrine of Chance=
[[File:Shrine Of Chance.png|thumb|250px]]
Located in the [[Fort Merit]] Prison (through the tunnel in Brutus' cell).

When using this shrine, please make sure to '''check if you burned the card you're trying to get''' or '''check if you already happen to have it'''. Otherwise, it could result in a mistake worth upwards of 5 Knowledge before you realize it wasn't just bad luck or a missing prerequisite.

== Effect ==
Trade a Talent of your choice and 5 Knowledge to perform a Talent Draw with 3 cards.

== Details ==

*One of the most valuable Deep Shrines, this lets you obtain Talents you might have missed.
*The Talent Draw is affected by a Mystic, make sure to use them to not waste Knowledge.
*To get a Rare Talent, you must trade in a <span style="color: #f2727f;">Rare</span> Talent.
*To get an <span style="color: #66ffcc;">Advanced</span> Talent, you can trade a Common Talent. Don't forget its prerequisite(s).
*You cannot trade away a Talent if it is a prerequisite of another Talent. You must get rid of each Talent in the reverse requirement order to trade them away.

You need Power 8+ and NO OATH to perform this deal. (If you made a mistake and your sanity has crumbled, you may break the oath to order yourself,)

== Details ==
*The main purpose of the Shrine Of Order is allowing you to obtain expensive [[Talents]] or [[Mantras]], to then take a portion of these points away to invest into other stats, allowing your builds to effectively have more points than intended.
*The stats that will be ordered are any of the stats that have at least 1 point invested in by the player. In the case of racial points, you need to invest 1 point (making it 3 or 4) for it to count.
*Certain Talents such as [[Talents|Reinforced Armor]], [[Talents|Alloyblood]], [[Talents|All the Dead Gods]], and [[Talents|Collapsed Lung]] become weaker the lesser the attributes are applied.
*Adept/Expert/Master Attunement and Attunement Unbound Talents disappear after the attribute goes below their requirements.
*Mantras' upgrade levels will be downgraded to the appropriate level if the requirements for their current levels are no longer met.
*You will unequip any weapons you no longer meet the requirements for if the requirements are no longer met.
* *A singular stat cannot lose more than 25 points, with the exception of Attunement stats. which can lose more than 25 points.
*Does not progress towards Contractor Oath.

== Trivia==   
*[[Ganymede]]s can do deep deals with a discount of 1 knowledge off of all shrines, except the Shrine of Conceit and the Shrine of Mastery.
*Deep Shrines, most notably the Shrine of Chance and the Shrine of Order, are obvious references to the roguelite Risk of Rain 2, sharing their names with and functioning similarly to the Shrine of Chance and Shrine of Order from that game. 
**In Risk of Rain 2, the Shrine of Chance takes money in exchange for a chance to gain an item (cannot be used after succeeding twice, cost increases each attempt), and the Shrine of Order randomly selects one item from each rarity and converts all other items of the same rarity to the selected item.
**Ironically, in that game, Shrine of Order was more or less a joke, providing no utility whatsoever.
***It was theorized this was the intent behind Deepwoken's Shrine of Order, but due to it actually allowing for the creation of extremely powerful builds, the developers found themselves unable to roll back the change without creating huge backlash as well as resulting in builds that existed before any changes to the Shrine being far more powerful than any new ones after the changes.
*You can use any shrine besides Solitude to obtain Contractor, however, Shrine Of Order is currently bugged and does not count towards Contractor progression.
*Deep Shrines may be a means for [[Yun'Shul]] to communicate, due to them appearing in the [[Temple of Hearts]]. Both the main shrine and Deep Shrines speak using the same font, as well as engaging in deals.
*The Shrine of Solitude is unique in that it:
**Is present in a dungeon.
**Has no visible "eyes".
**Talks in lowercase, unlike all other shrines.
***It is also much less hostile, asking only to lessen its solitude (whereas other shrines degrade you and command you a puppet). 

*Shrine of Solitude will softlock you from the game, making you unable to move, attack, block, parry, or dodge while Trial of One is in the process of just spawning in a new mob.
*As of the 28/02/2023 patch, Shrine of Order's 25 stat point reduction limit does not work on attunements.
