I've seen Gloomy shrines and I heard from someone who has seen four weird
shrines.

They're nothing special.  Weird Shrines give all your weapons +1 max
damage, and Gloomy Shrines gives +2 AC to all armor, and -1 max damage
to all weapons.

Hi there, a lot of you guys are asking for shrine lists.
Well here it is - I have to include it in the letter, as this isn't a
binaries group - but you can cut it out from here I guess.

I can't take the credit for this thing, but I can't remember where I
found it for the life of me. Hope the guy doesn't bear a grudge.


Anyway - remember: "Play hard, play determined, but PLAY FAIR!
...otherwise he'll come for you at night... ...drooling and panting...
he he!

Weird shrines gives +1 to the damage to all edged weapons that you have.
Gloomy gives +2 to your armor. I think it takes away 1-2 from weapons
damage.

I think they are as follows (this from Desslock's execellent FAQ):

Gloomy -1 damage to all waepons, +2 to all armour items

Weird +1 damage to all weapons.

Cheers,
