Edelweiss

The title Edelweiss comes, according to Pietari's recollection, from the order of that name, used in the manner of the Order of the Rose during principality days. He says, "it was, from what I've understood, originally registered for Mistress Regina Romsey, after she stepped down as Schwarzdrachen, but it later reverted to the Kingdom of the East and was eventually transferred to Drachenwald.

• January 1998 - January 2005: Juhana Maununpoika Kivisuo

Albion

The title Albion is also derived from an order name. Originally, Edelweiss was associated with the Princess and Albion with the Prince.  Originally Albion was Schwarzdrachen's emergency deputy, but in January 2002 the office of Edelweiss was split into two, and to keep the "matched pair" idea, Albion was taken for the other half of the internal submissions process.

Rockall

Rockall is a small island west of Ireland, and the Scots and Irish groups of Drachenwald have been disputing it for quite a few years.  Giving it to their regional herald seemed a suitable compromise.
