Lost Astoria, known officially as the Constitutional Monarchy of Lost Astoria (Astorian: Astoria Dellus Chandras), is a diarchy located in the southeastern end of Caleren. Lost Astoria is located to the east of the Old Soldiers and the Ganji Islands, and is surrounded by the Hagalaz Ocean and Kaldaz Ocean. Lost Astoria retained a closed-country policy from 1519 to early 2024, when it reopened its ports to send humanitarian aid to Anavero. As a result, almost all of the country is ethnically either Astorian or Native Kalathandric, though some immigrants have settled in the country since borders were opened.
Lost Astoria was first discovered by the Kalathandric people, initially being settled around 776 BCE. The established Kingdom of Kalathandras lived in isolation until the archipelago was discovered by the Astor Empire. During the empire's conquest of Caleren, the Kalathandric royal family was imprisoned and executed in Odellus, the kingdom's royal coliseum. Under Astorian rule, the archipelago became the Penal Colony of Asphodellium Astoria in 1108, which held most of the empire's most dangerous prisoners for much of its reign. The modern country was established in 1519, when the Chainbreaker's Uprising, a prison riot that began in the historical capital of Kalathar, led to the declaration of Lost Astoria's independence by Viatroth Dal Kalathar I. The uprising ended with the complete excision of all Astorian authority from the archipelago save Odellus, earning it the name Astoria Dellus Chandras (lit. "Astoria Without Tyranny").
After Lost Astoria gained independence, Viatroth I petitioned the Lord of Odellus, Themis Dal Astor, to yield the heavily fortified city to Lost Astoria. In exchange for this, Themis would be named Archthane of Odellus, ruling in tandem with Viatroth I, Archthane of Kalathar. The capital then merged with Odellus to create the nation's current capital, Odellus-Kalathar.
