Rules Q&A
- Q: If I were to use the Ruined Fortress of the Scorpion as my stronghold, and then played The Iron Citadel while I had less than -20 honor, am I right in thinking that I would instantly lose the game?
A: Yes, but see http://www.legendofthefiverings.com/rul ... pell_cards, The Iron Citadel: "Functions normally on a Scorpion player who temporarily dipped to -20 Honor and had his base Province Strength reduced to 0, but has since brought his honor above -20."
