(do I have to) Deattach Attachments?

[Flrbb 75]

For example, when playing Mutual Accord you can attach Spear of the Mark to any gondor hero (non-rohan, e.g. Mablung). After the phase Mabulung dosen't have the rohan trait anymore, so do I have to discard the attachment?

And a 2nd question which just came to my mind: if I do have a character with two restricted attachments, can I discard one to add another restricted attachment?

1. No, checking requirements only occurs when you're attaching to a character. They keep the attachment.

2. Yes you can.

And just to add: you can't discard an attachment just whenever you want to, but when you play an additional Restricted attachment on a character (beyond 2), you are forced to choose and discard one Restricted attachment from them.

I thought you could get rid if an attachment at anytime.

[GrandSpleen 1,756]

Nope, only if some forces or allows you to discard it (for example, Miruvor can discard itself any time you have an action window, or a shadow effect might force you to discard an attachment).  Same with allies: you can't simply discard an ally, something has to allow it.  

 

You couldn't, for example, discard Expert Treasure Hunter just to ease some attachment hate from a card like Leaves on Tree.
