The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath,H.P. Lovecraft
QUESTIONS
Q: May I use Discover Secret Cache to play Zenig of Aphorat at a non-Exotic Location?
A: No.This whole issue is clarified in the New Æon rules
which says something to the effect of certain Allies, Tomes, and
Artifacts may only be found at Exotic Locations; no other means may be
used to play those cards.
A: No. Buy you may use Discover Secret Cache while your current Location is Lost Temple of Atlantis (or Celæno, R'lyeh, Tycho Base, or Y'ha-Nthlei), to play Zenig of Aphorat.
Q: Is it possible to play Zenig of Aphorat in any location featuring the artifact attribute while Hastur is active ?
A: No. Although all Locations belong to the same Region, they do not belong to any specific region. That is, your Arkham Police Station may be in the same Region as Celæno, but they're not both in the Exotic Location Region.
To be more specific about Hastur's effect:
being in the same region(that is, meeting someone on a train) you can do it.
20 points of monsters. Or would it be illegal, since Zenig of Aphorat says that it is only good for
1card in an adventure.
A: Zenig of Aphorat cannot be used to fulfill the requirement of Knee Deep in Doom. There are several things it thus can't meet the requirement for, like Cthulhu being out when the adventure is played (Summon Great Cthulhu) and Summoning a Cultist from the Past (Seeking Everlasting Life 2).
A:The secret society requirement is something a card provides, so it can be replaced by a Zenig of Aphorat. The thing a Zenig of Aphorat can't replace is actions, which are honestly very scant (There's one about summoning a Cultist on Seeking Everlasting Life 2).
A: You can retrieve it whenever you bury the vault. But that only returns the cards to your hand. You still have to be at an Exotic Location to actually play it.
A: Yes. Zenig of Aphorat may also be recovered
at Harbor of Celephais and Porta Portese.
You may play Zenig of Aphorat at an Exotic Location after playing Discover Secret Cache or at an Exotic Location by using the special effect of an Ally: Miss Anna Tilton, Crawford Tillinghast, Faraz Najir, or Nikola Tesla. Note you then also bury Wandering Peddler to avoid paying the Sanity cost.
While your Current Location is a Travel Event, you possess the Region Color Bar and Dimensional Indicator of the Location you just left. You are never in a Subregion while upon a Travel Event. (Mythos Digest 1:62).The requirement for playing Zenig of Aphorat is an Exotic Location. If a player plays a Tramp Steamer to leave R'lyeh, Zenig of Aphorat may be played while on the Tramp Steamer. Tramp Steamer is outside in the region of the previous Current Location and it is an artifact Location, therefore a Tramp Steamer leaving R'lyeh is an Exotic, Artifact location.
Churchrequirement (of The Gathering, Lost in the Catacombs, and Yuggoth Attacks!) for decks set in Europe.
It's the King, baby! The play of Randolph Carter is a signal as to one's intent, so in Moon-Quest use Zenig of Aphorat to fulfill the requirement for King of Ilek-Vad, who normally may be played only by burying Randolph Carter.
It's My Membership Ring: Use Zenig of Aphorat as the membership
in a secret society
for Summon Great Cthulhu. If the special
effect of an Adventure (for example, Brotherhood of the Black Pharoah)
is used to fulfill that requirement, then the game is over when Summon
Great Cthulhu is played. But when Zenig of Aphorat is used as
the membership in a secret society
, then the special effect
of Summon Great Cthulhu ( From this moment on, discard or
bury the Cthulhu card as a result of card play only.
) will apply as
the game continues.
I've Made My Stand: Use Zenig of Aphorat to substitute for Stand Against the Order in Assault on Y'ha-Nthlei.
I'll Trade My Ring for a Ticket: The Cruise is playable
in the Dreamlands if you use Zenig of Aphorat for the South Pacific
Location and the Zoog Chieftan instead of Wakalea.
