Hello, I have a question regarding the Khan's Gambits effect. Specifically the highlighted effect below.
the Khan's Gambit: Text Winter Terrain Battle: Your Personalities have +1F and cannot move home. You cannot use abilities on your cards at this battlefield.
My understanding is that this effect affects all personalities I control, not just those at the current battlefield. Assuming this is correct after it is removed from play, (either through combat resolution of some other effect) would my personalities still have the +1 force and the inability to move home?
Thank you,

That's true.

No.
http://rules.l5r.com/Glossary_T#Terrain: "If a Terrain leaves play, its ongoing effects end, and its delayed effects will no longer be applied. This is not negation of those effects (that is, even effects that can not be negated will be ended)."
