The maritime technology introduced to Kiravia by the Ʒ-Q Invasion (or Itaho-Atrassic invasion) spread fairly rapidly around and up the coasts of Great Kirav, with their adoption by littoral peoples continuing along the eastern seaboard and from there on to Éorsa. Here, these technologies enabled large-scale (by the standards of the era) outward migration from Éorsa in two direction: | The maritime technology introduced to Kiravia by the Ʒ-Q Invasion (or Itaho-Atrassic invasion) spread fairly rapidly around and up the coasts of Great Kirav, with their adoption by littoral peoples continuing along the eastern seaboard and from there on to Éorsa.

In the first direction, back toward the Kiravian mainland, Ʒ-Q nautical technology allowed at least two waves of back-migration, one which is believed to have carried the Trans-Kiravian language family, and another which is believed to have carried the Austro-Kiravian language family. Trans-Kiravian speakers also may have sailed northward to [[Koskenkorva]]. | In the first direction, back toward the Kiravian mainland, Ʒ-Q nautical technology allowed at least two waves of back-migration, one which is believed to have carried the Trans-Kiravian language family, and another which is believed to have carried the Austro-Kiravian language family. Trans-Kiravian speakers also may have sailed northward to [[Koskenkorva]]. The landings of these Éorsan navigators are believed to correlate with centres of megalithic construction on the mainland ([[Prehistory_of_Great_Kirav#Megalithic_Coscivians|see below]]). | ||
In the second direction, toward northern [[Levantia]], Ʒ-Q nautical technology allowed for the resumption of contact between Kiravia and the lands from whence the Ice Age settler ancestors of Kiravians had originally come, quite likely for the first time since 18,500 BC. These back-migrations were directed mainly toward what is now western [[Faneria]], [[Covina]], [[Suderavia]], and (controversially) [[Wintergen]]. At least some of these back-migrations must post-date the establishment of the Lawful Commonwealth, because they carried the Four Laws and Four Precepts and the rudiments of the proto-ethnic Coscivian identity with them, beginning the history of the [[Mainland Coscivians]]. | In the second direction, toward northern [[Levantia]], Ʒ-Q nautical technology allowed for the resumption of contact between Kiravia and the lands from whence the Ice Age settler ancestors of Kiravians had originally come, quite likely for the first time since 18,500 BC.
