About

The title of Duchess of Vattnaland is derived from the historic Amokolian province called Vattnaland, an area since ancient time inhabited by people of Viking descent. It was chosen as title of office of the Princely Governor of Amokolia in accordance with the policy of the Court of the Prince of preventing a clash with the Princely Titulary since the occupant of the White Orchid Throne was to bear the title of Prince of Amokolia. Subsequently to the annexation of Jeannite Amokolia - when the style of the Elwynnese Princely Precinct called Amokolia was elevated from Principality to Kingdom - it was dropped as the title of office of the Royal Governor of Amokolia, but the title was some time later re-introduced as a subsidiary title for the aforesaid Royal Governor.
