Game of Cyvasse vs Starfall Advisor (different scenario from FAQ)

By xenoss, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

This interaction is covered in the FAQ and I read a previous post asking about it. But after reading all that, I am still unclear on 1 thing:

What if the 1st part of Cyvasse's "choose and kneel a character with INT", I choose a House Dayne character?

Does that not satisfy Starfall Advisor then? Because this event chooses a House Dayne character in that case, so I can use Starfall Advisor to cancel it?

The scenario in the FAQ and in the thread I read assumes that the character being knelt in the 1st half of the event is NOT a House Dayne character. It is only for the "Then" part of the event. I get that you can just cancel half the event after the 1st half happened. But what if I choose a Dayne character to kneel in the 1st place. Isn't it still An Event that chooses a House Dayne character?

The stuff in the FAQ is not really questioning Starfall Advisor's ability to cancel Cyvasse in general. It is simply saying that if a cancel effect -- ANY cancel effect -- only becomes eligible against something because of what's written after the "then," it cannot be used against the effect.
