===Tinav=== | |||
The ''tinav'' is a {{wp|camelid}} similar to the {{wp|llama}}, {{wp|guanaco}}, or {{wp|alpaca}}. Its wild-type variant, no longer extant, was native to the alpine grasslands of West Kirav and was domesticated by the time of the Chalcolithic. Stock-raising of the ''tinav'' was a transformative event in Kiravian history, enabling the establishment of regular long-range overland trade networks and the geographic extension of political structures such as states and tribute networks. This made possible the Verticalist mode of production under the Emperald Emperors. In addition to its use as a draught animal, the ''tinav'' is raised for {{wp|wool}}, meat, and...maybe milk? | |||

Traditional paludiculture went into decline during the industrial revolution, as growing demand for energy caused the value of bulk peat and peat fuel briquettes to vastly outstrip that of other peatland products, | Traditional paludiculture went into decline during the industrial revolution, as growing demand for energy caused the value of bulk peat and peat fuel briquettes to vastly outstrip that of other peatland products. Intact peatlands were previously used for fishing, hunting, grazing, and gathering, as well as the non-intensive cultivation of sod and other minor products supplemental to the traditional peasant household. Paludiculture is currently being revived in the 212th century with support from provincial peat ministries to promote more sustainable use and conservation of the great Kiravian peatlands. | ||
