Back-migration to Levantia continued during this process, carrying this nascent Coscivian identity to the Kiravian-descended communities of continental Levantia.

The ancestors of the [[Ethnic_groups_in_Kiravia#Demarești|Demarești]] and the Adrates ~~also~~ developed parallel civilisations during this time, having independently emerged from the Age of Blood and apprised themselves of the social and technological advances necessary to produce large structures.

Other, more isolated, pockets of relative civilisation would appear on the Mainland while Megalithic Coscivian civilisation made its inroads from the coasts. The ancestors of the [[Ethnic_groups_in_Kiravia#Demarești|Demarești]] and the Adrates, for example, developed parallel civilisations during this time, having independently emerged from the Age of Blood and apprised themselves of the social and technological advances necessary to produce large structures.

A separate megalithic society, the Adratic, emerged around the same time as the proto-Coscivian megalith builders. The old Adratic tongue constituted an independent branch of the Transkiravian family, and there is an abundance of archæological evidence demonstrating that they were proto-Sarostivist devotees of the Divine Moon, like most other Kiravian peoples of this time, including the Megalithic Coscivians. Unlike the Coscivians, however, the Adrates did not observe the Rites and Precepts and had not restructured their ancestor worship around the Emperor. It is known from later Classical Adratic writings that the Adrates believed that they were creations of the Divine Moon and had previously lived on the Moon, and descended directly from the Moon to ''Kam'' (either Earth or specifically Great Kirav).
