can I add a site to battle after my opponent plays something like Belshazzar's Banquet to get site access? And if so, can I play the site from hand?

Pretty sure it has to come from territory

For a real example, consider this:

Opponent uses Just a Hireling to discard his pharisee in battle and shuffle 3 LS with two still in sites (of which you currently do not have access). It is now a battle challenge. If you have Dragon Raid in territory, I would say you could add it to battle to get access to the souls in sites. Don't know why he would play JaH if he sees DR in your territory though.

You can add sites to battle anytime (even more than 1), as long as no abilities are removing your Heroes from the battle, as long as the sites come from your territory. This is what I've heard regarding these kinds of ruling questions for years. I've never heard of needing initiative to add a site to battle.

If you needed initiative to add a site to battle the entire concept of using sites for access barely works, because I don't have initiative before my opponent chooses to block.
