   Accumulated Rulings: "Any card which can alter an honor gain or loss
is Political, even if it doesn't always do so. [DW, email, 6/27/97]
Example: Legendary Victory." There's no question that Kitsu Tombs can
change honor gains/losses, so I don't see any way around this ruling.

   I don't have a cleaner precedent right now. Jeff Alexander used to
have a list of non-obvious Political actions on his webpage, but it's
not up now.

   No.

   Yes.

   I cut and paste my Spawning Grounds answer: "It's a trait. Traits are
active regardless of whether something's bowed."

> How does the Sephulcer of Bone interacts with War Weary?

   One follower a turn. Just like War Weary says.

   Then you play it "when bringing into play." Not after.

   Looks like it.

Subject: Ninube Ogoku & Refuse Advantage

> if I assign Ogoku in the opposing army and I play Refuse advantage,
> what would happen?

   Accumulated Rulings: "Her presence in an army will not change your
overall role (Attacker/Defender/ally) in the attack." This includes
which army is "yours". Ogoku will not help you play Refuse Advantage,
nor change how it works.

   Yes. See above.
