The Virtues have been a long running theme within the Ultima universes, usually manifesting in quests, Companions, weapons, armor, cities, philosophies and other areas of the various games. In the Outlands, there are 8 Shrines of Virtue: Compassion, Honesty, Honor, Humility, Justice, Sacrifice, Spirituality, and Valor. Oftentimes the Virtues are attacked and must to be repelled, which brings us to the Corrupted Shrines system...
* There are two Shrine Corruption events occurring per day, with one in the morning (randomly between 0-12 hours) and one in the evening (randomly between 12-24 hours) with a 4 hour gap minimum between them

How do I Earn Ankh Tokens?
Ankh Tokens are distributed after every wave into player backpacks if a player has earned a cumulative amount above 1 and is within 60 tiles of the Shrine
For example, if a player has earned 1.25 Ankh Tokens after a wave, they will receive 1 Ankh Token in their backpack and will begin the next wave with 0.25 Ankh Tokens "stashed"
Each individual wave of a Shrine Corruption is worth a predetermined number of Ankh Tokens that players can "bank"
Wave Ankh Token amounts range from 2.5 to 7.5 (increasing with wave difficulty)
100 Ankh Tokens are available from all waves combined
The Shrine Boss is worth 50 Ankh Tokens (making 150 Ankh Tokens possible for each Shrine Corruption)
Players "bank" Ankh Tokens in decimal amounts based on their damage contribution towards each wave or the boss, and after a wave resolves, players will be notified how many Ankh Tokens they earned from it and what their cumulative total is
After the Shrine Boss is slain, "banked" Ankh Tokens for players will be distributed as normal with decimal amounts rounded
Players can double-click the corpse of the Shrine Boss to place all their bound Ankh Tokens on the corpse into their backpack
