Shrines to the Old Gods is an anomaly event chain triggered by investigating the *An Asteroid, Carved* anomaly that can appear on asteroid celestial bodies. Uniquely among event chains Shrines to the Old Gods can lead to an empire shifting ethics. It should be noted that shifting ethics will not change civics, possibly invalidating them until the government is reformed if shifting will remove a prerequisite ethic.

### Familiar Shrine

 *Most of the asteroid has been laser-chiseled, with great precision, into the likeness of a small [main species name] temple, or large shrine.

A shrine to the Untold, the great destroyer-deity of old [main species adjective] faiths.

The temple has been tumbling through the quiet of space for far longer than we have been capable of space-flight, which is... disturbing, at best.

Terrifying at worst.

Naturally, Science Officer [science ship scientist] urges us to search for more stellar objects that match the characteristics of this space-temple, and has uploaded a list of likely candidates in nearby systems to the Situation Log.*

* Not  On the Shoulders of Giants

* Adds 3 systems 1-10 hyperlanes away as points of interest in the Situation Log

### Old Gods: Revelation

 *The complete doctrine of the gods - for that is what the recovered texts have to be regarded as, dwarfing the fairy-tale scraps upon which the old [main species name] religions were founded - is as shockingly revelatory as it is revolutionary.

With only a little bit of creative interpretation, it is clear that the people of [capital name] were meant for great things, guided by the strong hand of a religious leader.

Our path is one to godhood, but our past is littered with prophecies unfulfilled and sin born of ignorance. Redemption is ephemeral.*
