Player A's Sword of the Lord causes two evil characters to fight (Post Block)...
Player A's Brown EC is brought into battle against Player B's Blocking EC...
Scenario 1
Player A plays Zelophehad's Sin... at this point, is either EC considered a "blocking Evil Character"?
Scenario 1
Player A plays Seige... since cards of a different allignment can't band, would player A's ECs join the battle which player B's heroes remain in territory? (That would be my assumption).
Seige
All of holder's Evil Characters in play and all of opponent's Heroes in play must join the battle.
Zelophehad’s Sin
Discard all blocking evil characters, and remove one Hero in battle from the game.

1. No it's not.
From the REG:
Block
Blocking is the attempt to prevent a rescue. Only Evil Characters may block. Whenever an Evil Character enters the Field of Battle against a Hero (regardless of what point the battle is), that is considered a block.
2. I believe your assumption is correct but I might be wrong.
-
2. That is correct.
-
The entry for block actually needs to be updated, an EC in a battle challenge is also considered to be blocking. But either way, neither EC in a side battle is a blocking EC, regardless of where they came from.

Just a question, would ZS not work? I thought I remember a ruling a while back that notes while in a Side-battle, you can't affect the Characters in the original battle unless the card defines 'Field of Battle'. Is this correct?
-
No, it's not. The rule you're thinking of is that "battle" only refers to the current battle, while "field of battle" refers to anything in that location. The reason it doesn't work is because there is no Hero in battle, not because of any special rule protecting "main battle" characters from effects of the side-battle.
-
I know that there is no rule protecting characters in the main battle. That's what I was thinking of, but I was fairly sure that it didn't work because no Hero is in the current battle.
