What happens when permanent events overlap?

i didn't think this was supposed to happen, but it just did and i'm not sure of the proper way to handle this...

i have cards laid out like this:

A BC

Card IDs:
A = 258 (A0715)
B = 390 (A0890)
C = 284 (A0744)
D = 255 (A0711) (see below!)


My starting point was "A", after all other cards on the board and in the Past were Returned due to a "stairway event". Then i moved to "C" via one of those "area border" cards at location "B".

A point on card "C" tells me to draw card "D", but "D" is oriented to the same direction as "B", so it would overlap with B. Normally "D" would be discarded (not Banished) after its first use, but because of the "stairway event" which lead to "A", card "D" got Returned.

Is "D" supposed to be placed on top of/replace "B" or should "D" be discarded?

Look at the arrow at tile B! It forbids taking the action of revealing tile D.

Yeah, that. :-)

If there are action icons on the permanent event arrows, you can't perform those actions on the terrain they point to.

Hmm - my response to Dimwit's has mysteriously disappeared, but, in short it said:

Facepalm! :blush:
