These are locations that can be created by a shindōshi performing a ceremony. No matter the power level used to create the shrine, they will always start at level 1. The purpose of a shrine is decided during the ceremony and it can be dedicated to a variety of things, such as a way to contact Kami, protect an area from harm, allow the remembrance of a significant event in history, etc.
Shrines can be empowered to different levels, from 1 to 5. While initially requiring a ceremony to create them, different relevant roleplay activities can be used to increase this level. For example, you may perform duels at the shrine, spend time meditating next to it, or use it to speak to Kami.
To create a sufficiently powerful shrine, the shindōshi must submit a Short Form Request Form at an event. They should include a summary of the purpose of the shrine, and if possible, the initial power and subsequent powers that they wish the shrine to have.
A Downtime request can be used to create a shrine with minimal power at another location, but it can be empowered at an event to increase its level.
We have created the example of a shrine dedicated to an Earth Kami to help you understand what you can ask for.
