Livonia

Livonia was a town founded by Byzant77 on 8 March 2022, during the Eighth Era. It was created by the merging of the towns of Latvia and Estonia. The town would join forces with Denmark and form the Norse Union after participating in the Valeduxian Conquest of Prussia. On 3 April 2022, Byzant77 would quit the server and ownership was transferred to dekrih, who renamed the town to New Livonia until Byzants restoration.
== Anthem of Livonia (Ved Stanford Brua) ==
Höyrer Harald Sigurdsson, dei draumtegn frå brodir Olav Matkhugen må du dölje no, ille det deg gange, Höyr no ikkje på Toste Jarl, der han eggjar til englands å fare, Tord han hadde ein underleg draum, og ilt tyda draumine mange. 
På våren i 1066 ei ferd vart förebudde, Maktglad konge i noreg rådde, og leidang baud ive landet. Eit hundre og fem og nitti skip, til Orknöy-jarlen dei sigla vest, og Torfinn Jarl sine söner lest eit hundre fleire langskip. 
Kom dei fram til Jordvik by då fyste slaget gnydde. Jarlen Muru-Kåre fall og Valtjov Jarl han flydde. Harald og Toste fram dei for, men Valtjov Jarl han til dei svor, dei riddara av kongens bord de möter med Stanford brua. 
Harald og Toste neste dag dei brynjelause gange, då langt der ute soli blenkte i hjelm og brynjer mange. Englandskongen visst det er, eg kjenner Thingmannalid sine klär, nordmannahären rådvill er, dei stanna ved Stanford brua. 
Kom dei på det råd at dei let alle saman fylke. Medan Styrkår rei til skipi ned det snöggaste han kunne. Men for å vinna tid om senn, så bad dei Tjodolv sterke enn at han må stansa kongens menn der ute på Stanford brua 
Og lenge heldt han Tjodolv stand mot Angelsaksarkongen, men undantil med spjot dei stakk, så var dei over komne. Då andre slaget i ofse rann, medan Öystein og Styrkår og alle mann frå skipi dei sprang for å nå fram i tide til Stanford brua. 
Harald fram for fylkingen gjekk og hogg til både kantar, då flaug ei grågasfjörkledd pil vart nordmannkongens bane. Då Öystein og Styrkår dei kom fram, fullt kleddt i brynjer alle mann ov slit og sprang knapt sloss dei i bakken ved Stanford brua. 
Då tredje slaget toko til, vart kalla Orreira og mannefalli store vart men nordmenn måtte flya. Så gjekk det til at Vilhjalms menn fra Frankariket makti vann og norrönalltingretten fall ut der ved Stanford brua. 
== History ==
=== Creation ===
Byzant77 would be the first to settle a town in the Baltic region, founding the town of Courland in Lithuania. Not much is known about this original town. Byzant would eventually found Estonia and purchase a town near its border from the Pabloist Republic of Texas. Estonia would continue to expand south until it bordered the town of Latvia, where the two would eventually come to an agreement and merge the towns, forming the Kingdom of Livonia on 8 March 2022.
=== Facts and Logic Land ===
This was an era of Livonian history in between Byzant quitting the server and Livonia being acquired by dekrih. There was high tension between members of Livonia at this time, as Byzant had been wrongfully accused of starting a civil war. The Danish government would accuse him of this to gain ownership of the nation and after his departure, ownership was transferred to dekrih, lowering tensions drastically. 
=== New Livonia ===
New Livonia would be created on 3 April 2022 , after the ownership of the Kingdom of Livonia was transferred to dekrih. Like the Kingdom of Livonia before it, New Livonia is a constitutional monarchy where both a monarch as well as a prime minister have equal power in leading the country.
== Restoration of Byzant ==
Although seeming to quit the server for a time, Byzant would return to the discord and would gain enough support to return as not just king but emperor. Dekrih would pass the title of king to Byzant once more after Byzant exposed the lies that were told by the Danish government. As king he would go on to form the Livonian Empire with new nations such as Livonian west Africa and the dominion of Portugal uniting under the Livonian Imperial banner.
