Wanted to post this to get confirmation that it works and to show how broken it is!
Turn 1 Flip Severed From the Emperor Bring it into play and react with the interrupt for 5 honor loss.. Mulligan all cards in my provinces and interrupt for 5 more honor loss. Use the Dynasty action to discard each card from my province interrupting each for 5 honor loss.
End turn under -20 and opponent wins on my first turn.
Totally unfair, game breaking combo that was allowed to get through the PDT and ruined my Kotei season. Dishonor is overpowered. FLIP TABLE! RAGE-QUIT L5R!
[EDIT] Okay sarcasm aside, my question is on the legality of the very first part: Using the interrrupt while the card enters play. There has not been an update to ruling made on on False Ring of Fire at http://www.alderac.com/forum/viewtopic. ... &p=1412442. This was my failed attempt at humor.

If you have a legitimate rules concern you're trying to bring up with this ludicrous example, please do so in another thread and with actual examples.
Otherwise, please refrain from these trolling posts in the official L5R Rules Question forum.

To reply to your edit, which brings up a valid concern:
No, you cannot Interrupt Severed from the Emperor's Open ability with the Interrupt on the event.
This is because the Interrupt is a granted ability given to the player, but only after Severed from the Emperor has entered play. This is different than the False Ring of Fire interaction (as both those abilities are from the card itself), which is still under discussion.
I hope that clears up your question.
