Very quick question: does Fury of the Dark Lord target each personality it effects?
Text:
Limited: Destroy each Personality with a base Gold Cost equal to or less than his controller’s Stronghold’s Gold Production plus 2. Remove all Personalities in discard piles from the game.
Thanks, Mark

No; if a card doesn't explicitly say "target", it does not target.
http://rules.l5r.com/Glossary_T#Target: "The word “target” must appear as a verb or an adjective for the procedure to be considered targeting..."
