If rings in the unclaimed pool have no associated type, then what type of ring does the ring "claimed" by secluded shrine have, if any? If your opponent claims the chosen ring, does that change the answer?

While in the unclaimed ring pool, the ring has no associated type (so anything that references the ring as being in your claimed ring pool via Secluded Shrine will not see one). However, once it becomes contested (and if your opponent claims it), the ring will have the appropriate conflict type (as seen by Secluded Shrine).
