Rules FAQ

• If you play the event during an challenge you initiated, the effects will apply for the next challenge you initiate, not the current one.

• If multiple characters must be declared as defenders (for instance, due to Sword of the Morning (HMW)), the defending player chooses which one of them to declare. Same thing if multiple characters must be declared as attackers.

• The word "cannot" is absolute, and cannot be countermanded by other abilities. If an ability says you cannot initiate a particular challenge, it prevails over any other ability that grants you permission to initiate additional challenges.

• If Storm's End (BtB) is used to change the challenge type to , that challenge is still considered to have been the next challenge you initiated, so the effects of the event will apply for that challenge.

Rules FAQ

• If the winning opponent cannot choose a valid target, you cannot trigger Shadow City Septon.

• If Shadow City Septon is owned by another player, it will go to its owner's shadows area rather than yours. The cost is still considered to have been paid successfully, so the effect still resolves as normal.

• In a Melee game, you lose dominance whenever an opponent wins it, even if there is another player with a lower total than yours.

Rules FAQ

• The cards placed under Hornvale are not considered to be in play. They are not revealed, and no player has permission to look at them while they are facedown.

• It is possible for different players to place cards under Hornvale. If that happens, you must keep the cards separate, so that they can be returned to the correct player's hand without checking their identity.

• When the cards return to their owner's hand, they are not considered to have been drawn by that player.

Rules FAQ

• A triggered ability is any ability with a boldface precursor, such as an Action or a Reaction, including forced abilities.

• If King's Landing Septon is canceled, it will still return to hand.

Rules FAQ

• If the location that was targeted by assault is already kneeling when you win the challenge, it will not be knelt by assault, so you cannot trigger Deepwood Motte.

• The location is knelt before reactions to winning the challenge can be initiated, so the reaction of Deepwood Motte always comes first. Once you move onto reactions to winning the challenge, you can no longer trigger Deepwood Motte. In other words, if you bring Deepwood Motte into play with something like Support of the People, the reaction window for its ability will have already closed.
