Assuming a player has only one province(with a face up personality in it) and sudden blockade is played on it.. Can the player take the proclaim action to gain honor?

Proclaim reads: (Proclaim) Reaction: After you bring a Personality in your province with your Clan alignment into play without Clan discount, if it is your turn: Gain Honor equal to his base Personal Honor. (Emphasis mine)

If you don't bring the personality into play because Sudden Blockade forbids it, you never have a legal trigger to announce Proclaim.
