A player, 27 April 2011
Where are rings located once in play?
I specifically ask because of Shinjo Emiko's ability: "Recon Limited: Target a province. Other players may not use abilities on cards in play at other locations (except Strongholds) during battles at that province's battlefield." Were I engaged at a battlefield targeted by that ability would a player be able to use their rings?

Rings enter play in your home.
You may not use abilities on Rings during battles at a province targeted by Emiko's action.
