This seems awesome for the Crane honor-gain game.

Damn. Interesting that. Definitely going to be a skill tester for both the Crane and his opponent. VERY nice design here again. There's some very clever and subtle cards in this cycle.

Very Crane, as it's not something that is often going to improve it's own conflict, but which will make Crane strong elsewhere.

With all the new honoring options, I can see this being potentially really powerful.

Simple and useful. Just what you want to see in a card.

Y'know, one of the great things about how complex this game is, is that it offers lots of places for relatively simple but high-impact effects.

Well, having played with and against this a few times, it turns out it is not that complicated to use at all and is just straight up really, really powerful.

Basically once it hits the table, every opponent attack will be targeted at it until it breaks, as its just too powerful an option to leave in play, and it doesn't provide any benefit at its own battles.

Another interesting meta-thing here is that against Crane if your first attack doesn't reveal it, then it's best not to probe at unrevealed provinces, as this one needs to stay facedown. Instead, consider continuing to attack the revealed province till it breaks, even if there's some pain in doing so.

Yeah, this is a nice province. Strong when it is in play and revealed, but easy to break. As Asklepios mentioned, you don't want to find this on a second conflict, since that will give your crane opponent a free unbow. 

On the bright side, when this unbows a character, it does not also add that character to the challenge like Dragon's Sacred Sanctuary does.

I am disappointed that it's not called "Magistration Station".
