Can I use House of Sorrow to gain two pool from The Black Throne when
activating the latter for its poolgain effect? I seem to recall asking
something similar about Church of Vindicated Faith, which probably
works the same way, but Google Groups doesn't want to let me search
for that answer at the moment.

The Black Throne
Master: unique location.
Tap during a referendum to gain 2 votes. Tap when a minion with a
contract leaves the ready region (only usable if an Assamite you
control had been chosen for that contract) to gain 1 pool.

House of Sorrow
Master: unique location.
Tap to untap any card you control that is not a minion. If you do so,
neither that card nor this location untap as normal on your next untap
phase.

Tower of London was the actual question, and this will follow the same
answer.

Tower of London
Master
[Giovanni] Giovanni
[2 Pool]
Master: unique location.
When an action requiring Necromancy [nec] is successful, you may tap
this location to gain 1 pool.

Church of Vindicated Faith, The
Master
[1 Pool]
Master: unique location. Requires a ready imbued.
When an imbued successfully performs an action, tap this card to move
1 blood from the blood bank to an imbued in your uncontrolled region.

Heh! Apparently this tech is something that I'm keen to abuse.

Thanks for finding this. How did you manage to search in the archives?

I think House of Sorrow is a very powerfull card, perhaps a bit
underrated at the moment. It is so versatile and can be a life-saver or
VP-maker in many situations. Every deck that can afford the pool cost
should have one.

I just went and re-read this thread as a result of the current House/
Parthenon thread. Interestingly, this link above is misleading, as it
shows LSJ's initial response to my earlier question and not his
reversal, which is here:
