Black Hearts, Red Blades question

L5R CCG Rules board, 20 September 2009

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.

From the rules wiki: Reads, "Black Hearts, Red Blades 0G 2FV Ninja Battle: Target two of your unbowed Ninja Personalities without non-Ninja Followers: Move them home. If both of them moved, discard any cards in the current battlefield’s province and draw two cards."

My question is, what cards does this card discard? Terrains and Regions, or even up to units and armies? Or something else?

Black Hearts, Red Blades: what cards does this card discard?

Cards in Provinces (card text).

even up to units and armies?

Emphatically no.

Or something else?

Yes!

Those Dynasty cards sitting in Provinces that are normally bought or ditched at the Dynasty Phase are what are discarded. Terrains, armies, units are in battlefields, not Provinces. Regions are attached to Provinces, but not in them.
