Fortified Monastery of the Dragon and finding a Ring

L5R CCG Rules board, 2 May 2015 to 15 May 2015

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.

Simple question: Are you obliged to find a ring to put into play at the start of a game (while having a non-Void ring in there)? I ask because of Walking with the Earth and wanting to force a specific opponent to attack.

Thank you!

You may choose to fail to find a Ring when you search.
