  • The New Livonian Order are an independent militia styling themselves after the medieval Livonian Order (which was itself a branch of the Teutonic Order). Primarily active in what was the Vidzeme region of Latvia, they have taken it upon themselves to maintain order, defend and aid the area's civilian population, and deal with bandits, gangs and assorted other trouble makers. Although taking their name from and styling themselves after the medieval Livonian Order, the organization lacks a fount of honour and is therefore not a true chivalric order, merely a self-styled one. However this does not seem to have deterred them in the slightest. The choice of the Livonian Order as a name has been pointed out as being somewhat inappropriate over the years, given the considerable problems caused by their historical namesakes; although the Order's members are somewhat embarrassed about admitting it, their founder most likely didn't have the best grasp of history (the very fact that he decided to found a chivalric order suggests that his ideas regarding the past were somewhat romanticised) and by the time anyone had explained why the name may have not been the best choice it had already stuck.
