Essentially there were no large or politically sophisticated tribal groups in the baltic area at our start point. Or, to put it more correctly, we know of no group in that position. Of course late on some very powerful groups spring up, but this is much much later. There are some factions over there that are being considered for EB2, but that discussion belongs and is happening in the EB2 forums.

As it is there are no free faction slots left for EB1 on RTW so there won't be any factions in that area anytime soon.
