The '''Wagwan''' 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 in which they shelter. They 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.
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.
