Does Hizdahr zo Loraq provide a discount for marshaling cards into shadows? Is "marshaling into shadows" a subset of "marshaling"?

Does Hizdahr zo Loraq provide a discount for playing an event out of shadows? Would that be considered as "bringing a card out of shadows"? Try as I might, i could not get a clear answer out of the rules for Shadows.
 

Hizdahr zo Loraq

Action: Discard 1 card from your hand to reduce the cost of the next card you marshal, ambush, or bring out of shadows this phase by 3. (Limit once per phase.)

Yes. Marshaling into shadows is considered to be marshaling a card, so Hizdahr’s discount applies.

Yes. Playing an event is considered to be “bringing a card out of shadows."

Another follow-up to your ruling on Hizdahr zo Loraq: you said that his discount to "bring cards out of shadows' applies to playing events from shadows.

Do cards that provide discounts for playing events (Littlefinger's Meddling, Tourney Grounds, Fealty, etc.) apply to playing events from shadows?

Yes. Playing an event from shadows is considered to be playing an event.
