Do you have to discard cards or markers to claim the extra influence from a Council of Relics vote?
The designer ruled on this in 2025 and again in 2026, and the rulebook's Council Clarifications note agrees.

Yes. You discard the card or marker that provides the Votes, and a source worth two or more Votes must be removed from the Council to claim its Influence. Hammers are Votes, so discarding a hammer means discarding the card that prints it. You cannot pseudo-discard a single Vote.
