| The Holy Island of Asteria |
This sacred island in the Meridean Sea takes its name from Asteria, sister to the Blessed Latona. It was Asteria who had Trioditis by the Titan Perses, the Destroyer.

When Asteria disobeyed God the All-father, and rejected his proposal, she flung herself into the sea. She fell from the heavens as a shooting star and plunged into the ocean where she turned into an island that floated on the waves. And that island took her name.
Later, when her sister Latona had conceived with God, but was forbidden to labour on earth, Latona voyaged from Hyperborea to the island of her sister to give birth (as it was a floating island, and deemed to be not on earth). And it was there that Our Lord Carneius and His sister, Saint Orthia, were born.

Later, this sacred isle became the site of heresy, known as the Brizonian Heresy. To this day, a heretical community of women there believe that Asteria (whom they call, Brizo) is a holy saint who prophesies to men via their dreams. As part of their heresy, they also believe that when Latona came to their island to give birth, she was accompanied by wolves and that, as a result, wolves are sacred to Lord Carneius.
But of course this is wrong. When in 2579 A.T. Hierophant Singara IX issued his bull declaring that all magic was done with the aid of Trioditis and her demons, Asteria, as her mother, was removed from the church's calendar of saints.
