Rulings
- Erratum: Reads, "Left Hand of the Emperor Political Battle: Discard the Imperial Favor: Target an attacking unit at the current battlefield opposing a unit you control. Move the target home. Political Limited: Once per turn, target and bow a Courtier you control: Target a Dishonored Personality. Restore him to Honor."
