A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Limited, (*): Recruit a target Holding in your Province (entering play bowed), for 1 less Gold.
Fortifications... enter play unbowed (straightened)...
Presumably as Mikaru's 'entering play bowed' is in italics as reminder text, it doesn't override the rulebook effect that Fortifications enter play unbowed?

Fortifications Recruited by Mikaru still enter play unbowed. The text is there to remind the player that holdings most usually enter play bowed even if Recruited with unusual means.
