Sacred stone of Poseidon is a horde temple building chain in a Total War Saga: Troy, exclusive to Penthesilea's faction, dedicated to the god Poseidon. Only a single shrine can be built in each horde army. Each shrine built earns 10 additional favour gained from a hecatomb. Each new shrine also increases the cost of a hecatomb by 25%. Shrines enable the recruitment of priestesses.

Description[]

Travel, whether by land or on water, was a risky and uncertain affair during the Bronze Age, and was thus punctuated by extensive religious practices. Sailors made offerings to Poseidon hoping for calm seas, while overland travellers begged Apollo and Artemis for kind weather, or entreated Hermes, patron of roads and travel, to keep them safe. Not wanting to be remiss of their spiritual duty, the peoples of the Aegean Sea would visit sanctuaries and shrines along their journey, carrying with them symbols and icons of their chosen deities to ensure they would reach their destination safely.
