Hedonites of Slaanesh : Fane of Slaanesh (Faction Terrain Feature) + Coveted Riches (Grand Strategy) ?

[Percussigant]

If an artefact of power was offered at the Fane of Slaanesh, does it still count as being equipped by the hero for the purposes of the Slaanesh-specific "Coveted Riches" grand strategy ?

As a reminder, here are the two rules :

Coveted Riches: When the battle ends, you complete this grand strategy if there are no enemy units that have artefacts of power on the battlefield and there are 1 or more friendly units that have artefacts of power on the battlefield.

Damned Conduit (Fane of Slaanesh) : At the start of your hero phase, you can pick 1 friendly Hedonites of Slaanesh Hero within 6" of this terrain feature to make a sacrifice. If you do so, that Hero suffers 1 mortal wound and you must roll a dice. On a 2+, add 1 to wound rolls for attacks made by that Hero until your next hero phase. If the Hero you picked has an artefact of power, instead of suffering 1 mortal wound, they can sacrifice that artefact of power. If they do so, that artefact of power can no longer be used and you must roll a dice. On a 2+, add 1 to wound rolls for attacks made by that Hero for the rest of the battle.

In the games I've played so far, including some local tournaments, we didn't count it. So my answer would be no. It was offered as sacrifice, so it is not being carried anymore.
