Asteklion: Difference between revisions

The decline saw both resource shortages and reoccurring incidents of famine kingdom-wide caused by the increasingly isolationist views of the people caused by the rapid rise of greater powers both on [[Sarpedon]] and former Istroyan colonies in [[Levantia]]. A distinct lack of history is recorded during this time period with the stagnation of both culture and technology and is known to historians under other names such as the [[Istroyan Gap]] and the [[Istroyan Dark Age]], officially ending by c. 1000 AD with the account of an Istroyan nation purchasing numerous secrets of technological advancements from across the sea in [[Audonia]] to inspire a growth in prosperity once more. The [[Kingdom of Asteia]] during this period also similarly reached a period of stagnation for many centuries after the death of their final ruler. Little is known about the method of governance used at the time, though evidence suggests the Asteicians no longer referred to themselves as a kingdom. Subsequently, Asteia began to be Latinised by influence exerted from [[Caphiria]] to establish a foothold in Istroyan territory in exchange for famine resolutions, political guidance and stability. The city of [[Asteia]] was renamed to [[Astecleum]] during this period.
