Do I have cards in my hand before I reveal my stronghold? If so, I could use the Remote Monastery's trait to put a ring into play and then Introspection for a different fate card, including chaining Introspections to make my 39-card Fate deck 36.

No. Revealing strongholds and senseis occurs before drawing the starting hand.
