Shadows of the Burning Forest can target any land.  But neither of its abilities does anything in a land without invaders.  So why doesn't it require invaders to be present, and ditch the text on the fear ability?  Is it a flavor thing, or is there some mechanical reason that I'm missing?

I can think of wanting defense in the forest if you are playing with Heart of the Wildfire, but that would be too late for presence placement unless another power was allowing more presence to be placed after the spirit phase.

 

But, that's the best I can come up with off the top of my head. Something is damaging the land that isn't invaders ravaging.

 

 

Edit: Looked through my cards, was mixing Shadows of the Burning Forest with Dark and Tangled Woods.

 

Yeah, I have no idea why this doesn't say target a land with invaders. Typo holdover from when the card used to do something else?

I'm looking forward to seeing all the errata that will be included with the second printing...

We're making a list and checking it twice.

At least 1 of the Event cards mentions "Hills" as a terrain type. Is that meant to be Mountains?

Yes, that was a late terminology change that we missed: [url= Querki: Loading Spirit Island FAQ...] What are 'Hills' in the Coming of Age section of the Event card Strange Tales Attract Explorers?[/url]
