If a High Priest is discarded from play, release all characters from here to your territory. • Play As: If your human would be removed from the game by an opponent, place it here instead. Protect contents from all effects. If a High Priest is discarded from play, return cards held to your territory. City of Refuge may hold any number of human Heroes and human Evil Characters. • Identifiers: Play to territory. • Verse: Numbers 35:25 • Availability: Priests booster packs (Rare)

Question: Can my opponent place characters from his territory inside the City because the identifier on the card says it can hold any amount of good & evil characters?  The identifier on the REG is different than the one on the card.  I believed that it could only hold characters who were removed from the game there.

I don't think non-optional has anything to do with it, and I think the actual ruling itself explains it, not an SA override of rules. If a card with a "holds" ability does not specify how the card could enter the Fortress/leave the Fortress, then you may place/add to hand  a card meeting the criteria there during your preparation phase.

So since the exit ability for David's Tent is optional, I can defeat a weapon-bearer, then put it in my hand next turn yes?

Demonic Stronghold, anytime I have a Hero there I can just put him in my territory next turn, yes? (this would seem to be the case even without the ruling tweak)
