'''Coscivian civilisation''' is the heritage of values, norms, customs, ideas, social and political movements, and artifacts associated with the peoples of the continent of Éorsa. Coscivian civilisation spread beyond its home continent during the 9th and 10th centuries ''anno Domini'' to encompass new lands and peoples through migration, colonisation, cultural exchange, and assimilation, and today forms the dominant cultural paradigm in several nation-states, including [[Kiravia]] and [[Livensóla]], as well as the way of life of Coscivian minority and immigrant populations in many parts of the world, particularly [[Umcara]], where Coscivians comprise some 40% of the population.

Coscivian civilisation and a common Coscivian identity were consolidated under the First and Second Coscivian Empires that united the various peoples of Éorsa, who despite sharing certain ancestral, linguistic, and limited cultural affinities did not previously have any common consciousness, into a single overarching cultural and political system. This civilisation continued its independent social and technological development over the subsequent centuries, and remains a distinct, if comparatively minor, cultural sphere in the world today.

It has been noted that the particular funerary cultures of Coscivian subgroups are strongly influenced by their ancient religious heritage, even among groups that have embraced Christianity or Islam with minimal syncretism. Communities of Iduan or Komarist heritage tend to favour cremation. Communities of Rurican heritage prefer to keep remains close at hand. Getting kicked out of Starbucks again, shit.
