Other notable rulers of the period include but are not limited to; King [[Eukles III]], Queen [[Arethusa II]], King [[Telemachos]] and King [[Timonax]]. By 550 BC, Asteia was officially recognised as a kingdom by all other powers in the realm and the dynasty remained in power until 350 AD with the last ruler being Queen [[Calypso II]], as she bore no children and the line could no longer continue. Historians theorise she was afflicted by a disease that caused infertility, though no evidence can be provided. An epic was written during the 5th century AD celebrating her rule and dramatises scenarios that occurred during her reign. Another royal dynasty was never established until many centuries later as the Asteician people of the period believed the dynasty to be a celestial gift bestowed by the gods to their disciples and thus nobody else was worthy. | Other notable rulers of the period include but are not limited to; King [[Eukles III]], Queen [[Arethusa II]], King [[Telemachos]] and King [[Timonax]].

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. | 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 soon renamed to Astecleum during this period. | ||
