Rules Q&A

• Q: If Kusatte Iru uses his Reaction as a Province is destroyed, destroying a Province, is it destroying a Province in battle? Thus, does it satisify the requirement of The Fallen Lion Fortress for giving a Shadowlands player an additional Province?
  A: Rules Archive, General Rules, Battle: "Reactions that require destroying an army or Province can be played if the destruction was caused by a card effect during the resolution segment. [JA, 14 February 2001]"
  But Iru's Reaction occurs *after* the Resolution segment. No. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 14 July 2001", 15 Jul 2001
• Q: If a player has brought during the game a shadowlands card but the card was destroyed and it is not in play when The Fallen Lion Fortress resolves. Does he loss honor?
  A: Sure looks that way, doesn't it? Yes. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 28 June 2001", 29 Jun 2001
