Duke Theudemar's successor, his second son Raginmund Luttenried, would be remembered in history as the "Reformer."

Luttenried, or properly known as the Holy Dukedom of Luttenried (also Holy Duchy of Luttenried), is a Colonial Stem Dukedom within The Empire of Common Territories (TECT) located in the Kali Yuga Region. It is comprised of mainland Luttenried (continent), four major islands off the mainland's southern coast, and twenty-two other islands scattered around the mainland's vast coastline. With an area of 7,856,487 km2, the Holy Duchy is the largest landmass between the continents of Musgorocia and Oriea - Luttenried itself is the sixth largest continent in the region. Luttenried is a mostly flat, megadiverse country with a broad variety of landscapes and climates due to its large size; tropical rainforests, savannas, dense forests, mountain ranges, and expansive deserts are all found on the continent of Luttenried.
Although inhabited primarily by Commoners and decendents of native peoples (mixed-race between Commoners and natives usually), the continent's previous inhabitants, the Ohanzee people, were said to have settled Luttenried over a million years ago; they are speculated to have arrived from Musgorocia using makeshift rafts and boats, island hopping until settling in Luttenried. The Ohanzee Confederation, a confederation of over thirty tribal nations, dominated the continent by the time Commoners arrived in 1402. As an early governing body, the Ohanzee Confederation was said to have been created by the actual Ohanzee tribes who hail from the northeastern part of the continent. Four Ohanzee tribes total unified so they could cooperate and direct all warfare against competitors; competiton namely included other Ohanzee speakers - Ohanzee tribes who were independent - and unknown, possibly prior inhabitants, that are believed to have been wiped out by the Ohanzee in the past. Oral tradition states that the four nations brought together eight other Ohanzee tribes/speakers and defeated eighteen other "peoples." In 1412, a full decade after TECT colonists establish their first settlement on the continent, and eight years after the Luttenried Order establishes the "Crusader State of Luttenried" (Luttenried Earldom), the two sides officially went to Ohanzee Crusade. After almost two decades of war, the Luttenried Crusader State achieved total domination over the continent in 1431. As recognition for its achievements, the Luttenried Earldom was hansomly rewarded by both the Empire and Kirche for its victory in yet another crusade. To cement the state's authority in the region and its position within the Empire, Whilhelm XII awarded Earl Burchard Bleier Luttenried title of Duke, transforming his realm into a colonial stem dukedom.
The Holy Dukedom of Luttenried exploded economically and experienced a signifigant population boom after the Ohanzee Crusade. The combination of religious and imperial fevor, vast untapped resources, and expansive land for settlers to acquire attracted immigrants, pilgrims, and businesses to the continent in what historians call the "Luttenried Settler Rush." Duke Burchard and the Luttenried Order spent the next three decades consolidating their position in the region; time was spent developing the Duchy's infrastructure, attracting new residents from home, and getting to know the regional neighborhood, so to speak.
