What happens
The Hansa were once the undisputed masters of trade from London to Novgorod. Dominating the Baltic Sea from our home port of Lübeck, members of the League were blessed with wealth. Now though the fortunes of the Hanseatic League have fallen into decline. Infighting within the League and a series of economic crises have led to our merchants not even having control over the trade around Lübeck itself. A new power, our nation, has supplanted the Hansa in its home waters and threatens to make the Hanseatic League obsolete.
