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 Atemeraw peoples had inhabited Asteria for nearly a thousand years prior to the settlement of Milsboro. According to Atemeraw tradition, they had originally resided in a northern climate, but were pushed south by a violent tribal society that swept into their original homeland. Varshanologists now believe that it was Varshan who forced the exile of the Atemeraw.

Over the next fifty years, Arketa conquered the disparate Atemeraw peoples, and in 1447 created the Atemeraw Confederacy with a central government and written constitution.
Following the Nordmontaine War and the Great Confessional War from 1543 to 1575, the Levantine Protesant movement was nearly eradicated. In massive numbers, Ænglish refugees marched north. One of the leaders was John Harrison, a petty noble who survived the destruction of the Anglasworc and historian, who read of John Aster's expedition to Crona.

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.
