I posted this elsewhere but haven't got any answers. Figured I would try in here because it's more "rules" related. I'm new to the game so forgive me if these seem like stupid questions.

First Question...

Some cards have Faction Icons before the Card Title... For example card (F 105) Fishers from Outside has two Yog-Sothoth "keys" before the name. What do these mean? I have looked in the rule book and ether it isn't there or I've missed where it's explained.

Second...

When Draining a Domain to bring a card into play. Does the entire cost of the card need to come from one domain or can I Drain 2 or more to bring the card out? For example... the card costs 5 to bring out. Domain A has 3 Resources and Domain B has 2 Resources. Can I Drain both to bring out the card or does the entire cost have to come from a single Domain?

Third...

During the Icon Struggle... At one point I was the Active Player and I commited 1 card to a story, my opponent only applied 1 card as well. My card had 2 Combat Icons, his only had 1 Combat Icon. So his character took a wound which killed the card.

Now here is where the questions comes in.

Does the card immediately die and go to the discard pile or does that happen at the end of the Icon Struggle? The reason I ask is because both of our cards had Arcane Icon and Investigation Icons on them so. If his card dies and goes to discard does that mean that I win an extra Token during the Investigation Struggle?

In this case as well, when you Resolve the Struggle is it considered Unchallenged now because their aren't any opposing cards at the story?

It seems to me that in this case I would win 3 Tokens for this story card. 1 for the Investigation Struggle and two for the story not being contested. Is this correct?

Thanks in advance for clearing this up for me. Like I said I can't find anything that really explains this so I figured it was best to ask.

1st: Those are "Steadfast" icons - they mean you must have that many resources of that type in your domains. In your example, you need to have two Purple/Yog resources. You don't have to drain a domain with two Yogs - just have two in your domains. Of course you have to have at least 1 Yog in the domain you drained, but the other could be in a different domain.

2nd: Yes, the entire cost has to come from one domain. You cannot use more than one domain to pay for a single card, nor can you play 2 cards with a single domain, even if there are more resources than you need there.

3rd: When a player loses the combat struggle, a wound is applied to a committed character immediately. If that wound would kill the card, it is immediately removed from the story before continuing to the rest of the struggles. So yes, you did that correctly.
