The ethnogenesis of the South Coscivians and their coalescence into a broad ethno-regional identity is tied closely to cereal cultivation, and the archetypal South Coscivian has always been a cereal farmer. | |||

Like other Kiravians, Southrons participate in the popular nationwide sports of fieldball (or "Kiravian-rules football") and shinty. Fieldball is an especially important cultural institution in Southern Kirav, where it is a key fixture of scholastic, university, and community life. Players from Southern states are greatly overrepresented in the ranks of the top professional fieldball leagues, although most professional teams are based in Northern cities. Southrons are noted for their continued enjoyment of pre-modern sports that have fallen out of mainstream popularity elsewhere in Kiravia and the wider world, such as equestrianism, archery, fencing, and falconry. Hunting is extremely popular among Southrons, both for sustenance (especially among the poorer classes) and for sport, and access to privately-held forests (which is often a hereditary privilege) is highly prized. South Coscivians frequently represent the Federacy in international-level competitions for shooting sports and archery. | Like other Kiravians, Southrons participate in the popular nationwide sports of fieldball (or "Kiravian-rules football") and shinty.
