'''Epsilar''' is a city in County Telbrant, located five kilometres from the [[Béyasar]] city limits. It is notable for its large [[Levantia|Levantine]] population, and for being the birthplace of the [[Levantian Union Party]]. Originally a working-class community inhabited mostly by Coscivian immigrants from Éorsa and Triatha, the Kiravian economic resurgence in the 211290s caused living standards in the city to rise and turned certain sections of it into affordable but pleasant residential space for professionals. The nucleus of the Levantine community was formed by a few dozen Urcean expatriate families who settled in the vicinity of St. Mark's Catholic church in 21192, which grew rapidly as trade with Urcea increased. Kuhlfrosians, especially Gothic-Kuhlfrosians, sought out the city as immigrant-friendly, and began to cement the city as a major destination for Levantine immigrants.

The population of Epsilar is 30% [[Kuhlfrosian]], 22% [[Urcean]], 8% [[Latin Empire|Latin]], and 3% [[~~Kistan~~|~~Kistani~~]], with most of the remainder being [[Coscivian civilisation|Coscivian]]. It should be noted that many Coscivian residents of Epsilar also have Levantian ancestry but are classed as Coscivians due to strict patrilineality. 76% of residents are Roman Catholics, served by eight Latin Rite parishes, two of which are of a Traditionalist orientation. [[Lebhan language|Lebhan]], Gaelic, Lagyar, Gothic, Sorrentian Latin, and Rexish German are all spoken in the city, and can be found in written form on storefronts and in local publications.

The [[Levantian Union Party]] was founded in Epsilar by [[Vespasian Odrilaven]], himself an Urcean-Kiravian and a lifelong resident. The party first appeared on a ballot in the Epsilar municipal election, and today holds 4 of 5 seats on the City Council. In the 21206 Stanora election, Epsilar and County Telbrant as a whole voted overwhelmingly for Odrilaven and the other LUP candidates, though only Odrilaven was elected to the Stanora.

Line 407:

Kérvoak is known for its three grand universities: Kāmeþorn University, Kérvoak Imperial College, and St. Cóemgen's College. Kāmeþorn University is a state-funded but largely autonomous élite institution that orders its curriculum and governance according to the Kaltan Rule, having been founded by emigrants from the Old Coscivian province of Kalta. It is known for having played an important role in the Kilikas Enlightenment. Imperial College, governed according to the Classical Coscivian rule, is also state-funded but, like Kāmeþorn, independent of the Ilánova State University System; and St. Cóemgen's is a private college affiliated with the [[Insular Apostolic Church]] and steeped in its ancient scholarly traditions, where {{wp|Classical Gaelic}} is the language of instruction for most courses. St. Ailerán's College and the University of Kérvoak are located further afield, but maintain satellite campuses in the city to supplement their business programmes.

The largest ethnic group in Kérvoak are Ilánovan Féinem of mixed Gaelic and Coscivian ancestry, who predominate across most of the island. Due to the city's importance to the Kilikas Sea trade, substantial and deeply-rooted communities of [[Bergendii]], Kuhlfrosians, and ~~Kistani~~ have lived in Kérvoak for centuries, as well as many Kiravians of partial Levantine ancestry who may identify with their Levantine heritage to varying extents.

The working languages of the city government are Kiravic Coscivian and Gaelic, though only 22% of residents speak Kiravic natively. ''Oilánovarona''' - a divergent dialect heavily influenced by Gaelic in its lexicon, syntax, and prosody - is the everyday language of the Féinem population and has been adopted by multigenerational Kévoakites of other backgrounds. [[Burgundian Language|Burgundian]], [[Lebhan language|Lebhan]], and Levantine Latin are widely understood, to the point where monolingual visitors speaking any of these languages can go about their business fairly easily.

Line 569:

Deriving its name from a phonetically butchered Tapkek Aboriginal word meaning "ugly patch of swamp", Śervinaxt began as an estate owned by Andrus Konvoīon, a settler from the Coscivian province of Armaka who was among the first Coscivians to arrive in [[Ixnay]] after the conclusion of Kedhur Valēkas' expeditions. Although the site of Konvoīon's manor house is now within the boundaries of Cantrasar, which surrounds Śervinaxt on three sides, it was indentured labourers employed by Konvoīon from the low-lying islands of Coscivia's Heron Delta who began the process of draining much of the wetland and building the dikes and polders that created room for the modern city.

Śervinaxt is seen as a working-class city inhabited by many of the dockworkers, construction personnel, and other blue- and grey-collar workers who keep the Federacy's largest city running, and most Śervinaxt residents have embraced this identity. The largest ethnic groups in the city are Ærem Coscivians and Peninsular Coscivians, who each account for around one-quarter of the population. Helskan Coscivians, Cosco-Yetruenes, Damèts, Triathan Coscivians, Melotes, Kaśuvem, Rumeli Coscivians, and [[~~Kistan~~|~~Kistanis~~]] are also present in significant numbers. The overwhelming majority of Śervinaxt residents are "Greens", meaning fans of the Valēka Metropolitans fieldball team in [[Intracity Sporting Rivalry in Valēka|the Valēka area's bizarre, politically-charged intracity sporting rivalry]], in contrast to neighbouring Cantrasar, which is populated almost entirely by "Blues" (fans of the opposing Valēka Conquerors).
