Yesterday, August 18, 2021, Duchess Kaitlyn of Altissia went on a formal leave from her duties in the Northwood-Oregonian Parliament and the Duchy of Altissia. Duchess Kaitlyn cited that she would be going on leave for business for an undetermined amount of time, which she believed would hold her from executing her duties.  The Duchess left a Regent in her stead in the form of her sister, Jocelyn, who would perform the Duchess's responsibilities in her stead. Due to the extended absence, Duchess Kaitlyn decided to grant Jocelyn the unique title of Duchess-Regent for the period of time she will hold office. Duchess-Regent Jocelyn will perform Duchess Kaitlyn's responsibilities in the Duchy of Altissia and will take her position in the Royal Deluge.
