Provinces produce your personalities (whom you defend your provinces with when you buy them out) and also your gold/resources used to buy said personalities and weapons to equip.

Honor is kind of like your secondary life, yes. Your opponent can win if they make you go down to -20 honor. You can counter act it with different honor gaining cards/abilities, and you can win once you reach +40 honor.

Then there are the 5 rings. To win that way is to "Enlighten out". The game gets it's namesake from the rings in play (Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Void). If you get them ALL into play, you win.

So, there are 4 ways to win. At least the card game. Dishonor your opponent, honor yourself, destroy all 4 of their provinces with military, and enlightenment.
