In the process of their acculturation, the Ivraīem were able to avail themselves of existing ideologies of Cosco-Abrahamic synthesis expounded by Kiravian Christian theologians arguing that the essence of the Coscivian macroëthnicity is to be a righteous, lawful, orthoprax, and reverent people before the Divine. Noting similarities between the Four Precepts of Emperor Ĥ and the {{wp|Noahide laws}}, these theologians posited the Abrahamic prophets and ultimately Jesus Christ as progressive revealers of the primordial law and the Logos. The Ivraīem were thus able to use this ideological framework to establish a place for themselves in Coscivian society as a sect believing that the Mosaic Law is the successor to and fulfillment of the primordial Law installed in Kiravia by the Emperors. | In the process of their acculturation, the Ivraīem were able to avail themselves of existing ideologies of Cosco-Abrahamic synthesis expounded by Kiravian Christian theologians arguing that the essence of the Coscivian macroëthnicity is to be a righteous, lawful, orthoprax, and reverent people before the Divine.

However, whereas the Avramem are a generally insular and self-segregating community, the Ivraīem - while endogamous - are closely in touch with the mainstream of Coscivian-Kiravian urban society. Though few in number, they are a highly educated and economically successful community. The Ivraīem are notably overrepresented in the officer corps of the [[Kiravian Armed Forces]], with several prominent generals such as former Supreme General Sendar Vódlin and Field General E.H. Ikeśben coming from the Ivraīan ''tuva''. | ||

The '''Kastrovans''' are a Coscivian ethnic group native to parts of [[Farravonia]], with their historic heartland in northern [[Metrea]] and adjacent states. Their culture reflects three key influences: A Gascanic substratum shared with the Vèuskan people and the Yutuxno ''urom'', a rich West Coast Ĥeiran inheritance, and Costratic features absorbed from the neighbouring Lusans. The Kastrovans consider themselves kin to the Ĥeiran Coscivians, but speak a Costratic language. In terms of religion, they adhere to the Coscivian Catholic Church since the latter fifteenth century AD, having converted during the Third Evangelisation, though their religious life still reflects substantial influence from the [[Insular Apostolic]] tradition to which they adhered previously. | |||
A heavily coastal people, the Kastrovans have a long nautical tradition, and played an important role in the exploration of the seas to the south and west of Great Kirav. As such, there is an oversized Kastrovan diaspora in Coscivian Crona, the Krasoa Islands, Saint Kennera, and Sarolasta. Many ''[[Kolakoskem]]'' and Sarolastan mestiço groups claim Kastrovan origins and conserve aspects of Kastrovan culture and language. | |||

Sea Coscivians consider the sea their true home and show significant aversion to terrestrial life.

Sea Coscivians have had mixed relations with other Coscivians and with non-Coscivian groups they encounter. Historically, settled port and coastal dwellers throughout the Coscivian world have been distrustful of Sea Coscivians as secretive and seemingly rootless drifters with a reputation for criminality and general unpleasantness. According to reports by governmental organisations and human rights NGOs, people of Sea Coscivian origin still face employment, housing, and other forms of discrimination.

The Sea Coscivians are a segmental ethnic group divided into clans and lineages, and like all Coscivian peoples they are patrilineal and patrilocal. Generally speaking, the extended family or ''dóntra'' important to most terrestrial Coscivians plays little to no role in Sea Coscivian society. Beyond the nuclear family level, Sea Coscivian kinship is frequently {{wp|fictive kinship|fictive}}, with individuals and families becoming ritually initiated into clans and lineages into which they were not born, the latter being a rare approximation of {{wp|adoption}} in Coscivian civilisation. Clan and lineage ties, as well as marital ones and godparentage, form the backbone of social, political, and business networks in the Sea Coscivian community. However, the most important Sea Coscivian social institution is the ''impruv'' or "crew". Aboard a vessel inhabited or staffed entirely by Sea Coscivians, all adults or all adult males are members of the ''impruv'', and the ''impruv'' elects a ''kirstuv'' ("council") who elect the captain for the duration of the voyage. Sea Coscivians employed as crewmen on an ordinary vessel form their own ''impruv'' (though without a captain and usually without a ''kirstuv'') at the outset of the voyage, in which all Sea Coscivians aboard are obligated by custom to participate. In shore-dwelling communities, the ''impruv'' is a permanent body representing the entire Sea Coscivian population of a settlement or urban neighbourhood. A code of customary law called the Law of the Sea prescribes the basic rules for how ''impruya'' and ''kirstuya'' are to operate. How the Law of the Sea is remembered and interpreted varies only slightly across clans and regions, which has allowed Sea Coscivians of different backgrounds to quickly, easily form ''impruya'' as needed, and to avoid conflict between different families sharing a vessel or living in close proximity ashore. | The Sea Coscivians are a segmental ethnic group divided into clans and lineages, and like all Coscivian peoples they are patrilineal and patrilocal.

The Serradem Coscivian language is similar to certain registers of Kiravic Coscivian in many respects, but with substantial differences is vocabulary, and non-trivial differences in phonology, prosody, and grammar. Some of these differences are due to the influence of {{wp|Ecclesiastical Latin}} and various local Urom languages. Most contemporary Serradem are bilingual in Kiravic, with many speaking both as their mother tongue. In Cascada, up to one-third of ethnic Serradem speak only Kiravic. However, intergenerational transmission of the Serradan language remains strong, and its use is vigorous in many areas, particularly rural areas and smaller cities and towns in the Rosary Belt where it is used as the primary language of everyday life. Serradan-language radio programming is available throughout Farravonia. Institutional support for the language is strongest in Ilfenóra, which publishes Serradan translations of all government documents and maintains many secondary schools using Serradan as the medium of instruction. There are a few small Catholic colleges in Ilfenóra that teach in Serradan, and the Government of Metrea has initiated a programme to introduce Serradan-language instruction in some community colleges. Many state universities and larger Catholic institutions in the region offer Serradan language and literature as a course of study. | The Serradem Coscivian language is similar to certain registers of Kiravic Coscivian in many respects, but with substantial differences is vocabulary, and non-trivial differences in phonology, prosody, and grammar.

The '''Toğors''' are another of the {{wp|itinerant}} Mainland Coscivian peoples of the [[Levantia]]n continent. In the simplified form of Coscivian caste hierarchy conserved among the Mainland Coscivians, the Toğors are considered the most base and lowly of the several subgroups. Traditionally highly mobile even compared to other itinerant peoples, the Toğor custom was to set down for no longer than a week in any one place, though this has norm has relaxed greatly in modern times. | |||
In mediæval times the Toğors were known as showmen, making their living as bagpipers, other pipers, {{wp|flatulist}}s, jugglers, animal tamers, etc. At least one is recorded as having ventured into {{wp|puppetry}}. The Toğor livelihood evolved in the later mediæval and early modern eras with the invention of the hurdy-gurdy and accordion and the rise of the circus, with which Toğor bands quickly involved themselves. | |||
The Toğoric dialect is poorly studied, as its speakers refuse to share it with outsiders. It is believed to be largely mutually intelligible with the other itinerant Mainland Coscivian dialects and descend from the same unattested ancestral language spoken in late antique Suderavia. | |||
Since [[Kiravian reunification]], some Toğors have migrated to Kiravia and its associated territories. Between two- and four thousand are estimated to live in [[New Ardmore]]. | |||

They claim descent from the ancient Ptheric people, but speak a language in the Northeast Kiravian family, distantly related to [[Eshavian Coscivians#Language|Eshavian]], though superimposed on a Ptheric {{wp|substratum (linguistics)|substratum}}. Despite sharing common roots with some Coscivian peoples, the Demarești developed a sophisticated independent civilisation during the Kiravian Bronze Age and maintained intermittent periods of independence from the Coscivian Empires until the reign of Emperor [[Trxell the Enormous]]; and they have maintained a distinctive culture and worldview quite different from those prevailing in [[Coscivian civilisation]] despite millennia of close contact and Coscivian social hegemony. They are the most economically prosperous and best-educated of the Kiravite Minority groups. The Demarești are highly urbanised, with around three quarters of their population living outside their traditional homeland in major metropolitan areas, most notably Greater [[Bérasar]] and the [[Kartika|National Capital Region]]. | ||
The Demarești have a complicated relationship with Coscivian-Kiravians and the Kiravian state. The King of Demarest is a tributary of the [[Marble Emperor]]; however, as noted by Luso-Captetian anthropologist Diogo de Chão, whereas other Kiravite Minority peoples have chosen to interpret or reïnterpret their tributary relationship with the Coscivian Emperor as an amical one and embrace narratives that affirm their cultural and institutional distinctiveness while stressing loyalty to and inclusion in the Kiravian polity, the Demarești harbour no such notions. While at the level of official Demarești institutions and ritual contacts with the Emperor all is cordial, among themselves the Demarești unambiguously understand their position as a conquered people paying tribute to their conquerors. Androë Foüȷeșca, an ethnic Demarești radio presenter who emigrated from the [[Kiravian Union]] to [[Ardmore]] in 1948 AD, quasi-famously said on-air after emigrating that Coscivians are "dangerously insane people whose collective derangement is intensified rather than moderated by increasing organisational sophistication," and subsequently doubled down after complaints from Coscivian listeners in [[New Ardmore]], opining that Occidental governments should diplomatically isolate both the Kiravian Union and [[Kiravian Remnant]] "until they inevitably {{wp|mutually assured destruction|eradicate each other}}, and stressed that he considered himself "one of the more moderate and empathetic Demarești on this topic". Though perhaps hyperbolic, opinion research does seem to support the thesis that the average Demareștine's attitude toward the majority population lies somewhere on a specrtum between ambivalence and existential fear. Despite this, however, the Demarești overwhelmingly live in Coscivian-dominated major cities, excel in Coscivian-dominated eductional instiutions, and are grossly overrepresented in the Kiravian governmental bureaucracy. Both insiders and outsiders to the Demarești community have long viewed these apparent paradoxes as adaptive behaviours on the part of the Demarești to ensure their own cultural survival. | The Demarești have a complicated relationship with Coscivian-Kiravians and the Kiravian state. The King of Demarest is a tributary of the [[Marble Emperor]]; however, as noted by Luso-Captetian anthropologist Diogo de Chão, whereas other Kiravite Minority peoples have chosen to interpret or reïnterpret their tributary relationship with the Coscivian Emperor as an amical one and embrace narratives that affirm their cultural and institutional distinctiveness while stressing loyalty to and inclusion in the Kiravian polity, the Demarești harbour no such notions. While at the level of official Demarești institutions and ritual contacts with the Emperor all is cordial, among themselves the Demarești unambiguously understand their position as a conquered people paying tribute to their conquerors. Androë Foüȷeșca, an ethnic Demarești radio presenter who emigrated from the [[Kiravian Union]] to [[Ardmore]] in 1948 AD, quasi-famously said on-air after emigrating that Coscivians are "dangerously insane people whose collective derangement is intensified rather than moderated by increasing organisational sophistication," and subsequently doubled down after complaints from Coscivian listeners in [[New Ardmore]], opining that Occidental governments should diplomatically isolate both the Kiravian Union and [[Kiravian Remnant]] "until they inevitably {{wp|mutually assured destruction|eradicate each other}}, and stressed that he considered himself "one of the more moderate and empathetic Demarești on this topic".

The Skithanawites are an ethnic group originating from the northern coast of Erusta on the [[Coscivian Sea]]. A warlike people, they were frequently in conflict with other tribes and states, and built a series of expansionist kingdoms (most of which collapsed quickly). They became tributaries of the Coscivian Emperor during the rule of the Antaric Empire, which employed them as {{wp|shock troops}} to great effect. Small, insular Skithanawite communities are now scattered across the northern third of Great Kirav between the Eastern and Western Highlands as a result of these military expeditions. | |||
The Skithanawites have a similar lifestyle and material culture to their North Coscivian, Arnórian, and Sēoran neighbours, but avoid most contact with them. Normally, only select, ritually initiated men from a local Skithanawite community are authorised to deal with outsiders. This is less true of some larger communities in Erusta and Suderavia. | |||
After much resistance, the Skithanawites converted to Catholicism in 1462 AD, following their King at the time. For unclear reasons, the Skithanawites broke off all contact with the Church outside of their community in 1847 AD and chose their own antipope, either elected in a conclave or appointed by the Skithanawite king - the historical record is ambiguous. They have maintained their own schismatic church ever since. | |||
The Skithanawites have a hereditary ethnarch, their King. The current dynasty dates from the late 17th century AD. | |||
Special Skithanawite battalions fought for the Federalist side against the Socialists in the Kiravian Civil War. They proved effective in battle, but faced grim reprisals after the Socialist victory. All Skithanawite villages south of the Fresh Seas were eradicated through a combination of massacre and involuntary transmigration. Most Skithanawites in Sēora were also removed. Able-bodied men were mainly sent to ''katergon'' in the Ximantav Mountains, Coscivian Sea islands, and Koskenkorva to work in the mines; smaller numbers were sent to mining camps elsewhere or to state farms in South Kirav. | |||

The '''Vaguan''' or '''Hummockers''' are a cluster of ''urom'' peoples that live on the North Kiravian Plain, south of the Lake Belt. They are best known for their small {{wp|earth lodge}} dwellings, low dome-shaped semi-subterranean structures with timber frames covered by earth. These lodges provide insulation against the harsh weather conditions of the region and are arranged in circular and spiral patterns within the villages, which are believed to have cultural significance. Like Coscivian peoples, they are organised into exogamous clans. However, unlike Coscivian peoples, the clans are matrilineal and residence patterns matrilocal. The Vaguan were minoritised and marginalised by the migration of the [[Kir people]] to the North Kiravian Plain, though there was also significant uptake of Wagwan vocabulary and genetics by the Kirish settlers. The Wagwan have long lived on the fringes of society, avoiding interaction with Coscivian-Kiravian mainstream culture, except occasionally popping into town to say "Wagwan?", refuse to elabourate, and leave. | |||
