Inkuv

In countries of Coscivian heritage, an inkuv is a type of way station along a roadway. The inkuv originated during the First Coscivian Empire as a feature of the First Empire's Verticalist economic system, which required infrastructural innovations such as well-maintained overland roadways to facilitate the state-directed redistribution of goods and labour.

Many cities and towns have grown out from an inkuv as their nucleus.

The constitution of the Confederal Republics of Kirav explicitly granted the confederal government authority to build inkuya along postal and defence roads. This authority was retained under subsequent Kiravian constitutions and remains today, although modern inkuya along the interstate highways are owned and maintained by individual federal subjects.

In modern Kiravia, an inkuv is a highway rest stop or travel plaza, though often with features and amenities that hearken back to earlier inkuya. Inkuya along modern Kiravian interstate highways typically include a small nondenominational chapel.

Hekuvihírsda

The Hekuvihírsda (English: "Caphirian story"), sometimes known in English as Kiro-Hekuvian Gothic is a literary and theatrical Template:Wo that flourished in Kirav during the XYZth and XYƔth centuries. Though written in Kiravia by Kiravians, the stories were set in Caphiria during various phases of its history, and followed casts of Caphirian characters. Common themes in Hekuvihírsda included sensuality, political and familial intrigue, luxury and opulence, ambition, and revenge.

Caphiria and Kiravia have a long history of commercial, cultural, and diplomatic exchange. One effect of this long history of interaction has been a lasting impression in the Kiravian collective psyche of Caphiria as a warm, exotic country filled with fine cuisine, art, and architecture, and a more sensual and Epicurian culture that contrasts with the colder, greyer climate of Great Kirav and its more stoic and melancholic cultural ethos.
