Rules FAQ

• A "location you own" is any location that was in your deck at the start of the game, regardless of who currently controls it.

• You can only choose a location in play. You cannot choose a location in shadows or in any other out-of-play area.

• If the chosen location has the Warship trait, you can still choose to return it to hand rather than placing it in shadows.

• If you place the Warship location in shadows, it will not automatically gain the shadow keyword. If it does not have the printed shadow keyword, it will be stuck in shadows unless you have some other way of bringing it out again (for instance, The Queen of Thorns (TMoW)).

Rules FAQ

• Blood of Valyria does not prevent effects that increase attached character's STR from expiring.

• Attached character's STR cannot be set to a value lower than its base value. (See FAQ ruling on Daenerys Targaryen (R2).)

• Pre-existing lasting effects that reduce attached character's STR are ignored after Blood of Valyria is attached. However, a lasting effect does not expire just because Blood of Valyria has been attached. If Blood of Valyria leaves play before the lasting effect expires, that lasting effect will immediately affect the STR calculation again.

Rules FAQ

• Sons of the Harpy coming out of shadows will affect the ability of The Dragonpit before you can trigger the reaction. In other words, if you no longer control more cards in shadows than the opponent in question, all of their characters will stop getting -1 STR before you can trigger Sons of the Harpy. Same thing if the opponent has Enemies in Every Shadow (TIC) revealed and Sons of the Harpy was the only card in shadows. Their characters will get +1 STR before you can trigger the reaction.

Rules FAQ

• You can trigger the reaction even if attached character is not participating in the challenge.

Rules FAQ

• If you bring Arnolf into play with Skagos, you cannot trigger the reaction to stand him. The reaction window for the cost of Skagos's ability has already closed by that point.
