Underline mine.

So "Other Fallen-wizards may not use this site as a Wizardhaven [W]." does not prevent other Fallen-wizards from using their versions of the site as a Wizardhaven [W].

I propose the following erratum:

We will not speak of such things even in the morning of the Shire.

The proposal misunderstands how the CRF works. I disagree with the premise as discussed with respect to Hidden Haven. I don't think this is a contested issue.

The CRF ruling that is supposed in conflict is a Ruling by Term. The CRF specifically states "The Turn Sequence and Rulings by Term sections are specifically considered clarifications to the rules, and are therefore overridden by card text that specifically does so."

Chambers in the Royal Court specifically overrides the CRF ruling on "sites."
