A follower deployed to a shrine is called a heretic. If a player places a shrine directly (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) next to the cloister <ref>
{{IconBook}} A shrine '''can''' challenge an abbey, and vice versa, because the abbey is also a cloister.

of another player <ref>
{{IconArrow}} The [[Rio Grande Games|'''RGG''']] edition of Count, King & Robber changes this to “When a heretic is placed on a shrine adjacent (orthogonally or diagonally) to an '''occupied''' monastery, a challenge occurs.” Because the part about “another player,” was removed, the final sentence in this paragraph regarding one’s own monk/heretic became unnecessary and was also removed.

{{IconWorld}} When playing with {{Feature|name=GermanMonastery|edition=C1|logo=hide}}, {{Feature|name=DutchMonastery|edition=C1|logo=hide}}, an abbot cannot be involved in a challenge with a heretic on a shrine/cult place, as the two scoring mechanisms are entirely different (the abbot’s monastery is never completed, so the heretic would always win).

The same is true when a monk is deployed to a cloister directly next to a heretic. <ref>
{{IconArrow}} The [[Rio Grande Games|'''RGG''']] edition of {{VariantsLink|version=BigBox2|logo=noborder}} adds, ‘That is, the monk must challenge the heretic.’ 
</ref> 
Challenging your own monk or heretic is also possible. <ref>
{{IconArrow}} This sentence is omitted in the [[Rio Grande Games|'''RGG''']] version.

The fairy can be assigned to a heretic.
