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''. | ||
About two-thirds of Ivraīem adhere to traditional Judaism. The Ivraīan tradition is less Halakhically strict than the Avraman tradition. The remaining third, a community of around ten thousand mostly concentrated on [[Valēka]]'s Ansalon Island, are {{wp|Hebrew Catholics}} who accept Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah but continue to follow much of Jewish law and maintain a Hebrew identity. | About two-thirds of Ivraīem adhere to traditional Judaism.

The largest concentration of Ivraīem is in the Valēka Metropolitan Area, with smaller communities in [[Bérasar]] and [[Primóra]].

It is periodically covered in the soft press as "Æonara's Jewish Village", even though just over a quarter of residents are Jewish, several homogeneously Jewish Avramem settlements exist in East Æonara, and the settlement itself is a {{wp|periurban}} housing tract rather than a village. | The largest concentration of Ivraīem is in the Valēka Metropolitan Area, with smaller communities in [[Bérasar]] and [[Primóra]].

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. | |||

Many poor Coscivians living in areas with large Trash Coscivian populations performatively embrace [[Coscivian National Congress|Coscivian nationalist politics]] in order to avoid being seen as Trash Coscivians. Trash Coscivians are also a feature of Coscivian nationalist rhetoric, presented as a cautionary example of {{wp|cultural decline}} and {{wp|atomisation|social atomisation}}, such as in Delegate Devar Hytriloden's (CNC - [[Hiterna]]) speech to the [[Federal Stanora]] in 21205, where he said "Deprived of our enlightened and exceptional culture, we will all be Trash Coscivians, and deprived of our Coscivian roots, we will become simply trash." | Many poor Coscivians living in areas with large Trash Coscivian populations performatively embrace [[Coscivian National Congress|Coscivian nationalist politics]] in order to avoid being seen as Trash Coscivians.

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 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. | ||
