Asterion Dynasty.

Vantian

## History

### Formation and Expansion

The Asterian Dynasty was formed from the cities of Vantian, Seyin and Cegodine the three largest cities on Duscea at the time it's formation was largely thanks to the Asterian bloodline and the somewhat 500,000 humans living within the borders of the cities and smaller farming villages around them the Treaty Of Vantian officially symbolized the formation of the Dynasty

The Dynasty has a history of expanding eastward into what is now the Hirani Kingdom and for around 50 years the Dynasty developed certain parts of the territory that were seen as perfect, making several mines and excavation sites around it digging up vast amounts of iron, gold, steel and other resources that boosted it's economy even further.

### Split Of Asteria

in EOC Year 57 The Dynasty split into two parts West Asteria containing the majority of the Dynasty's original mines and agricultural sites and underdeveloped land that was frequently neglected in favor of making Hiran and Vantian bigger and more developed. East Asteria consisted of more developed regions of the Dynasty and it's capital, Vantian, East Asteria typically had a higher standard of living members of higher class, while the two regions weren't directly segregated more wealthy citizens and farmland owners tended to stay in the East severely harming development and economic growth in the West.

It soon got to the point where investors and settlers stopped going to West Asteria unless it was to go to Hiran, with the lack of economic development Hirani citizens started a series of revolts in attempt to get the Asterian King to provide development in the West and stop stealing their resources, manpower and developable territory. The revolts failed and eventually West Asteria formed it's own government electing it's own king and rebelling against the Dynasty forming The Hirani Kingdom in an event called the Split Of Asteria

### Formation Of The Human Kingdoms

In 58 EOC just a year after it's formation the Hirani Kingdom was under diplomatic pressure by the Asterian Dynasty that'd cut off all diplomatic ties in an attempt to starve the Hirani people into eventually rejoining the Dynasty. The Kingdom managed to thrive despite this quickly developing its agricultural industry and capacities and even starting to make a few mines itself

When all else failed the Asterian king prepared his forces for an invasion bringing decades of peaceful interaction to an end, that is until a Hirani diplomat send him a proposition. An alliance, The Hirani Kingdom would provide conscripts and settlers while the Asterian Dynasty would provide investors, economic support and development. This proposition would be the building blocks of the Human Kingdoms a large alliance that keeps the peace on Duscea.

## Economy

The economy of the Asterian Dynasty is built off of primarily gold and fishing. With hundreds of gold mines and thousands of veins of unmined gold under big Asterian cities and towns it's economy is practically deprived from gold exporting, this doesn't mean it's fishing industry is neglected or doesn't matter millions of Asterian citizens living in large cities make a living off of fishing this directly affects the economy do to how much fish is exported to Kaliano, Numeria and even Artica.

## Society and culture

Asterian society is a rich one filled with luxury it's citizens are typically wealthy and prefer living in large cities, as for it's culture there's over 30 holidays widely celebrated in lands controlled by the Dynasty.

## Government and politics

The government in the Asterian Dynasty is run and controlled by one group, The Asterian Family, a family that's been around for other 600 years most males becoming kings or generals in the royal army and most females being married to males of royal families in other human kingdoms. However for once in Asterian history it's different due to a lack of a male heir Princess Astra is set to become the first queen of the Asterian Dynasty when her father dies or is too old to rule \.
