HELP MONUMENTS now clarifies that monuments affect the rate at which your shrines can be defiled and sanctified. Having zero monuments means it will let someone defile your shrines 50% faster, so make sure you have all your monuments in place if you intend to enter a Holy war!

The help file used to specify that monuments reduced the effect of shrine powers, but that part isn't true.

Quick summary:
- Having three monuments will alert the order when someone defiles a shrine anywhere.
- Each monument lost will increase the speed at which shrines can be defiled by 16.6%.
* This will max out at a 50% increase with all monuments lost.
- Each monument the Order possesses will increase the speed at which shrines are sanctified by 16.6%.
* This will also max out at a 50% increase with all monument intact.

In short, keep your monuments intact and make sure you have all three!
