G.20 PLACE
Take the prompted piece from the prompted source and put it in the prompted destination. Usually, no source is specified—in this case, take it from its supply, or take the leftmost prompted piece if it is on a track. Put is shorthand for Place.

PLACE restrictions, such as the Corvids' snare and the Marquise's keep.)
G.34 TOKEN
A circular cardboard piece owned by its faction or hireling.
G.35 TREAT
The prompted thing takes on the properties of the second prompted thing. While you treat enemy pieces as your own for rule, they are not enemy pieces, but they are still faction pieces of that enemy player.
(For example, Riverfolk warriors you've hired as mercenaries are not enemy pieces to you, but they are still Riverfolk faction pieces.)
G.36 WARRIOR
A wooden figure owned by its faction or hireling.
(The Vagabond pawn is not a warrior and cannot be removed.)
