  • You can choose your own location if you wish.

  • You can choose The House With the Red Door location and return it to hand. If it enters play again later, it will no longer be protected from being discarded.

Lonely Light

Rules FAQ

  • Only the shadow cost is increased. Bringing a card out of shadows by some means other than paying its shadow cost (for instance, the ability of King's Landing Proselyte) does not require any additional cost to be paid.

  • Playing an event from shadows still counts as bringing a card out of shadows, so the cost will be increased.

  • The ability affects all players, including the controller of Lonely Light.

Shipborn Bastard

Rules FAQ

  • Each modifier will raise the STR by 1, regardless of how it affects the initiative value. Negative modifiers count as well.

  • Only cards with the initiative symbol count as initiative modifiers. Text abilities that affect initiative (along the lines of "increase the initiative value on your revealed plot card") do not count as initiative modifiers.

  • Agenda cards are not in play, so Shipborn Bastard does not interact with Knights of the Hollow Hill.

  • The printed value of X is considered to be 0. That means Shipborn Bastard is an eligible target for something like Venomous Blade, regardless of its STR.

No Crown but Truth

Rules FAQ

  • Killing a Maester character is a cost, which means the character cannot be saved. (See Saving from a Cost.)

  • If you kill Maester Cressen (WK), his reaction comes before the effects of the event resolve. That means you would put 2 cards under your agenda first, and then draw the next card for the event.

Melisandre

Rules FAQ

  • If a character with the printed shadow keyword is blanked or has lost the shadow keyword in some other way, it is considered to be a character without shadow.

  • Melisandre's constant ability affects both players (or all players, in a Melee game).

  • When a character is placed in shadows by Melisandre's ability, it does not gain the shadow keyword. Unless that character has the printed shadow keyword, it will need some other way to come out of shadows again (for instance, Starfall Spy).

  • You can choose your own character and place it in shadows.

  • A character can be saved from being placed in shadows.
