The Teutonic Knights icon
The Teutonic Knights
In 1236, the Livonian Brothers of the Sword was defeated by the Samogitians and their Semigallian allies. The remnants were incorporated into the Teutonic Order in 1237, which then eventually led to the creation of the Livonian Order. De jure, the Hochmeister of the Teutonic Order is our overlord, but de facto both our orders are more like autonomous allies than anything. The wars between the Teutonic Order and Poland have shown that the Teutonic Knights are not as military competent as they used to be. It is time to help our brethren in Prussia through renewing our alliance with them - or by replacing their archaic administration with our own superior reign.

The Livonian Confederacy
The Livonian Confederacy was a loosely organized confederacy under our rule which was created in 1435. It is a defensive alliance of the five bishoprics and the Livonian Order to protect the German rule over Curonia, Livonia and Estonia against the threat from Novgorod and its Orthodox Church. However, the different bishoprics within the confederacy are not our subjects but autonomous states, and as such they often have petty rivalries with each other. It is time to dissolve this confederacy, and integrate the lands of the bishoprics into our own.

The laws and ideas of our Order were originally created by the Livonian Brothers of the Sword, and as such are based around the fight against the pagans.
