'''Asteria''', officially the '''Republic of Asteria''', is a country in [[Crona]]. It is neighbored by [[Alstin]] and [[Tierrador]]. The borders of Asteria have traditionally been the [[Northern Plateau]] to the north and east, [[Saint Thomas River]] to the west, called the [[Gamboa River]] in Alstin, and the [[Rees Hills]] and [[Blue River]] to the east. With the [[Sea of Orixtal]] to the south, trade flows into the extensive [[Western Sound]].

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 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]].

Milsboro, Yarmouth, and other settlements were merged into the [[Colony of West Asteria]].
Although the consolidation of West Asteria was immensely popular, it set the stage for eventual independence. For the remaining decades of the eighteenth century, a common Asterian identity developed. Unique styles of music were established in the Northern Plateau. Yarmouth became the capital of West Asteria in 1789 after it had been in Milsboro. The other former colonies, fearing Yarmouth would dominate them, petitioned their colonial masters to create a new city on the interior. The <nowiki>[[Royal Charter of 1797]]</nowiki> formally created <nowiki>[[Concordia]]</nowiki>, which was located on the interior along the Yare River. The population of West Asteria grew rapidly during this time from a little under a million in 1775 to three million by 1805. Ethnic and religious tensions continued, however, with multiple raids and pogroms between the Ænglish, Atemeraw, and Gaelic citizens of the colony. When Gaelic representatives in 1820 petitioned the <nowiki>[[King of Faneria]]</nowiki> on their special status, the ruler responded with the <nowiki>[[West Asteria Proviso]]</nowiki>, which declared all citizens of West Asteria as equal. The Gaels were angered by this, and they joined the <nowiki>[[West Asteria Congress]]</nowiki> in 1823. The Gaelic, Ænglish, and Atemeraw were now united behind the cause of independence.
The <nowiki>[[Asteria Revolution]]</nowiki> began on May 5, 1826, when the Colony of West Asteria was reorganized into the <nowiki>[[Dominion of West Asteria]]</nowiki>, centered in Yarmouth. Pro-independence leaders <nowiki>[[John O'Brien]]</nowiki>, <nowiki>[[Michael Ashton]]</nowiki>, and <nowiki>[[Shiye Makaya]]</nowiki> organized self-governing <nowiki>[[Frontier Republics]]</nowiki> in the Northern Plateau to preserve the movement as more moderate leaders like <nowiki>[[Llewellyn Penrose]]</nowiki> worked to negotiate a settlement with the King. All out war began on December 12, 1829, during the <nowiki>[[Milsboro Massacre]]</nowiki>. The <nowiki>[[Colonial Army]]</nowiki> was created, and in a series of campaigns against the <nowiki>[[Royalist League]]</nowiki> in 1830, 1831, and 1832, the Asterians slowly beat back their colonial masters. At the <nowiki>[[Battle of Stonebridge]]</nowiki> on June 17, 1833, much of the <nowiki>[[Asterian Royal Army]]</nowiki> was destroyed, its remnants retreating to Yarmouth. Weeks later, on August 15, 1833, the <nowiki>[[Fiery Night]]</nowiki> saw the final defeat of the royalists when Shiye Makaya led two thousand Atemeraw warriors into <nowiki>[[Yarmouth Harbor]]</nowiki> and burned over a hundred Fanerian ships. A ceasefire was declared, and three years later, the <nowiki>[[Treaty of Oirthidún]]</nowiki> was signed on September 6, 1836. A little under two months later, the last Fanerian forces left Yarmouth, and on October 25, 1836, the <nowiki>[[Asteria Declaration of Independence]]</nowiki> was formally signed. The <nowiki>[[Republic of Asteria]]</nowiki> was formally established on that date.
