Can the AoW grab a fortress that goes in Set Aside when it specifically says put it in play? Set Aside is not considered in play the last time I checked, but things could have changed I suppose which is why I am asking.

Hey...no thread hijacking. 

If my opponent sets my fortress aside with Samaritan Water Jar and the fortress plays to setaside area when played, can I still use it aka set disciples aside with Fishing Boat or Job aside in DnA?

I think I would rule that you can use your own cards that you set aside, but that you can't use your cards that your opponent sets aside.

I agree. My understanding of Set Aside (and I'm probably wrong) cards is that they must be put in play first, at which point the special ability or identifier kicks in and moves them to set aside. Cards like SWJ move them straight to set-aside, so the SA or identifier doesn't ever kick in.

If a fortress that plays to set aside is already there, negating its ability won't change its location. There's another thread about Fishing Boat that is discussing what happens if something that plays to set aside (via special ability) is negated before it enters play, so we'll have to wait for a ruling on that from there.
