A player, 28 February 2012
Hello !
With the coming out of the new L5R database the Oracle of the Void, I found out that now both Strongholds House of Tao and The House of the Tao read :
After all players reveal Strongholds: You may search your Fate deck for a Ring and put it into play. This counts as putting it into play by its own text.
The question is : As rings are written, they must be put into play from your hand to count for enlightenment. In this case the ring is not put into play from the player's hand, but according to the stronghold's text, counts as if it were. So, I am a bit lost.
Does the ring put into play through the Stronghold ability counts for enlightenment ?

Yes, the Ring that either House of Tao puts into play will now count for Enlightenment.
