Holy orders how to?

[Seve82]

Mkay situation is following:

- dlcs: sword of islam,sunset invasion,legacy of rome,old gods (don't have republic or abraham)
- Both holy orders seem to be on fief of The Most Devout (septry of baelor)
- Can't seem to recruit holy orders during peace or war and hire button is gray. Got enough of piety for both.
- Tried giving them fiefs castle,church to no avail
- For some reason seems like Kingdom of the Iron Isles is ruler of TMD (kinda wtf as they are not even same religion) - Paramount of Crown lands controls all other holdings of Crown lands and seems to be fine with TMD being under iron isles.
- The Iron Throne itself has been vacant for last 30 yrs of game time as no one can claim it.
- Faith authority law is on medium.

I'm playing Andal kingdom in Essos and those holy orders would really be useful to thwart off raiding merchant/slavers as my allies are more than fickle on helping me defend.

So any tips on getting them holier than thou fellas to be on "the good guys team"?

Later on in the game The Most Devout got free from Iron Isle rule but still the recruit option is grayed on holy orders as they are still "in fief" of TMD. Changing church law doesn't seem to do squat. I have noticed that one AI nation had some religious army recruited on its lands some game years ago.

The holy orders for the Seven (Poor Fellows and Warriors Sons) are inactive from 8058.1.1 to 8300.6.1.
