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.
just wanted be sure on this.
if am running shamate keep as my stronghold and i attach the broken sword of the lion(and end up dishonoring my personalities) would they gain force and chi bonus equal to their printed personal honor even though they are dishonored because of the strongholds trait?
also when i have the sword in play would that mean that my personalities enter play dishonored?
Thanks!

Just your Paragons per the Stronghold trait, but yes, that would mean they would get the bonus despite being dishonorable.

Well, when the sword enters play, it dishonors all your Lion Personalities that you own, in and out of play. Since it's dishonoring ALL of them, that exempts them from the tracking rule, and they will be dishonored while in your deck and provinces, and yes, therefore, subsequently enter play dishonorable too.
