Over the next five decades, the Midlands Company launched new expeditions across what they called [[West Asteria]], a name that would remain a constant through most of Asteria's early history. Protesants in Faneria were told tales of [[New Jerusalem]], a [[Harrisonian]] doctrine of building a society to be as close to the afterlife as possible. New settlements were built along the coast, relations wth the Atemeraw peoples being warm. The Midlands Company signed the [[First Milsboro Accord]] in 1633, granting the company all coastal lands not in use by the Atemeraw. [[Yarmouth]] was founded at the end of the Western Sound, while company navigators explored much of the interior with Atemeraw guides. [[Yarmouth Colony]] was officially founded in 1655 by [[Thomas Rees]] and [[Kathryn Wright]], who founded a monastic community on the mouth of the Yare River. Within a decade, Yarmouth surpassed Milsboro in population. Due to Rees' belief in creating a New Jerusalem in Crona, he launched expeditions along the river into Atemeraw lands. When one missionary was executed in 1672, the [[Yare War]] was launched. Colonial militias marched into Atemeraw lands, burning villages and farmlands and selling what was left over to new settlers. | Over the next five decades, the Midlands Company launched new expeditions across what they called [[West Asteria]], a name that would remain a constant through most of Asteria's early history.

The Yare War saw a new era of settlement. With relations between the Ænglish settlers and the Atemeraw broken, the Midlands Company sent out the [[Proclamation of 1677]], the fiftieth anniversary of Milsboro. Expansion was now law, and local militias began to push into the interior. The Atemeraw pulled back as the colonists advanced north over the following decades. Finally, after decades of growth, the Atemeraw, ever patient, finally resisted. The [[Kidnapping of Seoirse Kelly]] on December 5, 1763, saw [[Kele]], Sachem of the Atemeraw, invade Yarmouth with a small war party. Seizing the daughter of [[John Kelly]], Governor of Yarmouth, Kele married her in an impromptu ceremony, and converted her to the [[Ænglish Rite]], the name of the informal church most colonists worshipped. John Kelly was nominated by Faneria | The Yare War saw a new era of settlement.

John Kelly was nominated by Faneria as governor, a prelude to that nation purchasing the Midlands Company. A member of the [[Catholic Church]], Kelly wrote to Faneria and demanded assistance. [[Kelly's War]] lasted twelve years, and saw the shocking victory of the Atemeraw, allied by anti-Catholic Ænglish settlers. Although the Atemeraw won, Faneria on July 2, 1775, seized the offices of the Midlands Company and annexed their colonies. Milsboro, Yarmouth, and other settlements were merged into the [[Colony of West Asteria]]. | ||
