Wayfarer's Shrine (formerly Traveler's shrine) is a location in Dragon Quest III.

Story[]

The shrine serves as a church for seafarers, serving whomever may need sanctuary in the dangerous waters. The nun mentions that they once counted the people of Theddon among their flock as well, but alludes to the destruction of the village.

The shrine contains a teleportal connected to the one at the Wayfarer's Inn, but the player will need the Ultimate key to enter or exit at the Inn. However, the teleportal can be used to obtain the Inn as a Zoom destination if the player hasn't been there yet, and the player could use Evac to leave the Inn. The teleportals are probably structured this way to prevent the player from reaching the Wayfarer's Shrine too early, as the player can walk to the Wayfarer's Inn as soon as the eastward path through Nordy's Grotto is opened, while the Shrine is meant to be inaccessible until the player has a ship.
