Rules FAQ

  • A challenge ends at step 4.2.6, after all keywords have been processed. The interrupt of Chivalry of the South therefore triggers after keywords, just before any "until the end of the challenge" lasting effects (like Winterfell (WotN)) expire, and before any "at the end of the challenge" delayed effects (like Overwhelming Numbers) resolve.

  • A challenge does not automatically end any time there are no participating characters. For example, if a card like Offer of a Peach is played on the only attacking character, the challenge continues, and there may be other abilities that add characters to the challenge later on (for instance, Cohollo). However, it is still possible for a challenge to end "early" due to a card effect (for instance, March on Winterfell).

  • Players cannot win a challenge unless they control at least one participating character. However, it is possible to win a challenge and then remove all participating characters before Chivalry of the South would trigger. An example of that would be The Hound (TtB) returning to hand as the only attacker, or Mag the Mighty killing each participating character with his forced reaction. Also, if you win a challenge in which The Queen of Thorns (TMoW) is the only participating character, you can trigger her reaction to bring Shrewd Diplomat into play from shadows, then trigger the reaction of Shrewd Diplomat to remove The Queen of Thorns from the challenge and end up with no participating characters by the time the challenge ends.

  • Any time a participating character changes control during a challenge, it is immediately removed from the challenge. If you win a challenge with Reek (HMW) as the only attacking character and trigger his ability to take control of the only defending character, both characters are removed from the challenge at that point. You would be able to trigger Chivalry of the South in that scenario. (See Ownership and Control.)

  • In a Melee game, Chivalry of the South can trigger even if you are neither the attacking nor the defending player.
