The Griffonian Empire takes the 'Restore Kingdom of Asterion' decision OR The Kingdom of Aquileia takes the 'Reestablish Asterion' decision.

Lore Republic of Asterion: The Republic of Asterion has been the home of the mighty Minotaurs for over 1,470 years. Asterion was founded by Aster, who led the minotaurs away from their oppressive pony monarch in their homeland of Knosos (present-day Nimbusia) to the safety of the archipelago, establishing it's capital in Aster's Landing.

The minotaurs would go on to settle 21 colonies in both the mainland and the Asterion Archipelago, in time they would unite into a democratic confederation, however, a great crisis led to the centuries-old democracy being overthrown and replaced with a monarchy. Though this monarchy itself would last several centuries more, pro-democratic resistance never died out, and many minotaurs both home and abroad dreamt of restoring democracy.

Before the founding of the Griffonian Empire, Asterion ruled the lands of present-day County of Cyanolisia. However, in 747, the armies of Emperor Grover I invaded the Creeper Mountains in order to attack the eastern griffon principalities, the conflict would escalate and eventually he would conquer all of the mainland holdings. Having no naval capacity to invade the Asterion Archipelago, a peace was settled between the two groups.

This peace would only last some decades as, in 799, the armies of the Griffonian Empire would once again come, this time led by the warmongering Grover II. Unlike his father, Grover II had a navy powerful enough to blockade the archipelago, Asterion had been too weakened by the previous war and as such, after the enemy landed on the main island of Kainourgio Spiti, it only took one major loss for the monarch to submit to the empire.

Once more the minotaurs found themselves under a foreign tyrant, and once more were they oppressed. Despite vastly outnumbering the griffons, the minotaurs were treated as second class citiziens, the Griffonian Empire tried to supress their religion, their culture, their spirit. For nearly two centuries would this situation go on, the griffons never were able to fully hold down and remodel the minotaurs, their culture and religion preserved in hidden vaults, their desire for freedom represented in a never-ending guerrilla war.

In 978 the Empire would burn in the fires of revolution and one year later, the minotaurs of Asterion, with support of Sicameon, would rebel. In what came to be known as the Restoration War, Asterionese rule was reestablished over the archipelago and a democratic government was formed, with a singular objective remaining in the public consciousness: Liberating those still oppressed by the griffons, the hundreds of thousands of minotaurs living in what is known as the County of Cyanolisia, who too tried to rebel but were crushed, who to this day inhabit the countryside and make any griffon rule impossible.

But this was 28 years ago, and while the desire to reclaim the mainland still burns, and the military build up has been sufficient that war may soon be declared, Asterion finds itself in a political deadlock. Its current leader is President Konstantine Oplí, a veteran of the Restoration War and head of the Unity Party, and his main rival is a coalition between fascist and communist which has greatly grown in influence in recent years.

Biography: For the first ten years of his life, the then-Crown Prince Agamemnon, son of Queen Penelope II and her husband Alexios, lived a comfortable and quiet life in the royal palace, located just outside of Aster's Landing. Despite the relative calm, the young prince could feel how unpopular the monarchy had become, being seen as little more than representatives of griffon rule.

In 979, after republican rebels had stormed Griffenheim, the imperial garrison on Asterion was thrown into disarray, and not much later, the "Restoration War" would start, as pro-democratic and republican rebels rose up across the countryside. After some months of gruelling fighting, the rebels were finally able to overrun the monarchist forces, and the royal family was forced to flee into exile in the dead of night.

In the following years, the royal family wandered from court to court and city to city. Eventually, they made their way to Griffenheim, where Grover V granted them an annuity which allowed them to maintain a small estate and Agamemnon to study law in Yale. In 993, he married Helena Telemòn, a noble who also had fled the revolution. Two years later, his mother Penelope died, leaving Agamemnon to become the pretender to the Asterionese throne. In the years since, he has lived with his father and younger brother in Griffenheim and maintained a small law office, having mostly given up on his title. In 1004, Helena bore him a daughter, Princess Iphigenia.

Now, however, as the empire has retaken the islands and subjugated the minotaurs once more, he was pulled back to the forefront of Asterionese politics, being restored as King Agamemnon IV. Under heavy protection from an imperial guard, he now lives on the very same estate where he spent his early years. It is no secret to him that he is almost universally hated and regarded as a foreign puppet, but he sees his reign as preferable over direct rule from Griffenheim.
