A player, 10 February 2012
Player A has 10 Battle Maidens at the current battlefield and is using the stronghold "Plains of the Maiden" Player B has 1 card in the defending army. Player A's army total Force when the outcome was determined was greater than the defending army’s total Force plus the Province Strength of the current battlefield’s province.
Question: Does player A gain 10 honor from the stronghold for destroying the army (step i), then 10 more honor from the stronghold for destroying the province (step ii), then gain 2 honor for destroying the personality (step iii)? Total gain of 22?
Plains of the Maiden: "After you destroy a province or army in battle resolution as the Attacker: Gain Honor equal to the number of your Battle Maidens at the current battlefield."
Comprehensive Rules: "2. Effects of Resolution: Follow one of the procedures under this heading, in order, depending on the battle’s outcome. If the Attacker wins: i. The Attacker simultaneously destroys all cards in the defending army. ii. If the attacking army's total Force when the outcome was determined was greater than the defending army’s total Force plus the Province Strength of the current battlefield’s province, the Attacker destroys the province. iii. The Attacker gains Honor from resolution equal to twice the number of cards in the defending army that were destroyed by the effects of resolution.

You are correct. The honor is gained from Plains of the Maiden for both destroying the province and destroying the army (plus the rulebook gain for destroying the enemy card at resolution).
22 honor, well done! Tho I'm not sure 10 Battle Maidens vs one defender is fair... unless the defender was a Crab.

After you destroy a province or army in battle resolution as the Attacker: Gain Honor equal to the number of your Battle Maidens at the current battlefield.
1. Do I gain honor twice: for destroying an army and another time for destroying a province or just once?
2. Does the honor gain from this trait rehonor my dishonored personalities in battle resolution?

1. *sigh*
2. No, because trait trait doesn't target and isn't performed by any of the Personalities. Your Stronghold's trait will give you honour regardless of whether your Battle Maidens are honourable or dishonourable. See Physically marked card states, Honorable and dishonorable.
