Hi,

Kakita Noriko Text Crane Clan • Artisan • Musician

Reaction : After one of your Crane Clan Personalities is destroyed during a battle or for losing a duel, bow Noriko: Gain Honor equal to the destroyed Personality's Personal Honor.

The Empress' Address Text Political Reaction : After one of your Personalities is destroyed while in a defending army, bow one of your target Courtiers or Empresses: Target a non-unique Personality with your clan alignment in your discard pile. Bring them into play in your home, waiving all costs. Gain 2 Honor.

Player A defends with Kakita Noriko on a province. Player B wins the resolution and destroys the province and Noriko in the process. Player A reacts with Empress Address to bring back Kakita Noriko. Player A follows up by having Kakita Noriko react to her death and gain 3 honor.

Is this legal?

Thanks!

Nothing stops that that I can see.
