I am building a House Stark (House Tully) deck and considered including one of the Free City locations. At first I thought to include Braavos,

Type: Location House: Baratheon, Greyjoy, Lannister, Martell, Stark, Targaryen
Cost: 1
Free Cities. Kingdom.
Lower the cost of the first out-of-House [stark] card you play each round by 1.

Lower the cost of the first Lady character you play each round by 1.

[+1 Influence]

but after reading it thought that it means I only lower the cost of any non-House Stark character and instead should pick Myr,

Type: Location House: Baratheon, Greyjoy, Lannister, Martell, Stark, Targaryen
Cost: 1
Free Cities. Kingdom.
Lower the cost of the first out-of-House [baratheon] card you play each round by 1.
Lower the cost of the first Knight character you play each round by 1.
+1 [influence]

How does "out-of-house" work? Conversely how does "in-house" work?

For instance, how do the locations Myr or Braavos effect

Type: Character House: Stark
Cost: 3
STR: 3 Icon: Military,Intrigue
House Bolton.
Immune to events.
While Damon Dance-For-Me is participating in a challenge against an opponent running an agenda, he gains deadly and stealth.

or

Type: Character House: Stark
Cost: 3
STR: 3 Icon: Military,Power
Lady. House Mormont.
If you are not running an Agenda, Maege Mormont gains: "Response: After you win a challenge in which Maege Mormont participated, return her to her owner's hand to search your deck for a [stark] location. Put that location into play knelt and shuffle your deck."

Out of House means a card that does not match your House card.

Myr would have no effect on either card because neither card is a Baratheon card and neither card is a Knight.

Braavos would reduce Maege Mormont if she's the first Lady you play - but it would have no other effect because your House card is Stark.

If you wanted to play The Bastard of Nightsong in your Stark deck, Myr could perform a double reduction because he is both a Baratheon character (which doesn't match your house, so it's an Out of House Baratheon character) and he's a Knight. So, if The Bastard of Nightsong is both the first Out of House Baratheon character AND the first Knight character, you can reduce his cost by 2 gold, thereby effectively removing the Out of House gold penalty.

Thank you. Amazing as the English language is for some reason I didn't put the "out-of-House (House symbol)" together in my head correctly. But now that you expanded the issue I get it clear and simple.

Thank you again for the explanation.
