Earliest known evidence of the presence of human ancestors in Asteklian territory dates back to 3rd millennium BC, where archaeologists discovered ruins that may elude to a ritual site used for sacrifice by the ancient Aegoskopeion civilisation that predates the Istroyans by thousands of years and is theorised to have served as the socioeconomic foundation for the Istroyan civilisation. Asteklion has been continuously inhabited for at least 5,000 years. By 1300 BC, the site had become a prosperous fishing site and was soon settled by the Istroyans and developed into a polis ~~centuries~~ later, named [[Asteia]].

Asteklion, archaically known as Asteia, rose to power during 743 BC under Queen [[Arethusa I]]. She established Asteia as the primary military land-power on Istroya after conquering three neighbouring poleis; Hadeimos, Pagaieus and Misthia. She spent many of her years consolidating that power until her passing and the succession of her son, King Heirax, in 709 BC. She famously adopted polygamy as a means to create more alliances with poleis across Istroya, kick-starting one of the significant dynasties of the era. Arethusa I was known to have had at least three consorts, two of which were the sons of other growing powers within the known Istroyan world; the polis the third son belonged to has been lost to time and historians assume it was abandoned or razed during the decline and subsequently scavenged for resources.
