 The settled Sea Coscivian population is almost entirely urban, concentrated in and around major ports. Valēka has the largest population of Sea Coscivians in Kiravia (and presumably the world), officially numbering over 72,000. Tolôn has the second-largest Sea Coscivian population, followed by Saar-Silverda, Bérasar, Destransar, and Sirana.

-The Sedhem are a North Coscivian ethnic group who have played a pivotal role in Coscivian-Kiravian history. The origins of the Sedhem as a distinct culture lie in the lowlands just beyond the southern end of the Northwestern Shield in Éorsa, where the ancestors of the Sedhem arrived as a primitive farming society and absorbed the autocthonous P'tar people.

However, the flowering of Sedhem artistic and cultural life that followed came under strain towards the end of the century as the Sedhem confederation found itself at the intersection of the expanding kingdoms of Skāda, Venska, and Korska, which shared common North Coscivian cultural traits with the Sedhem but had adopted more sophisticated methods of warfare and social organisation from the Coscivian Empire to the south.

+The Sedhans are a North Coscivian ethnic group who have played a pivotal role in Coscivian-Kiravian history. The origins of the Sedhans as a distinct culture lie in the lowlands just beyond the southern end of the Northwestern Shield in Éorsa, where the ancestors of the Sedhans arrived as a primitive farming society and absorbed the autocthonous P'tar people. Over time, these early agricultural settlements developed into a tribal network linked by blood ties, a common dialect, and a shared group identity. By the XYth century, the Sedhan polity had evolved into a confederation of chiefdoms and became a tributary of the Second Coscivian Empire. It was during this period that Sedhan élites began to adopt elements of Imperial Coscivian literary and material culture, as well as the Læstorian religion that spread across Northern Éorsa, which they syncretised with their existing practices of {{wp|selenolatry}} and ancestor-worship. However, the flowering of Sedhan artistic and cultural life that followed came under strain towards the end of the century as the Sedhan confederation found itself at the intersection of the expanding kingdoms of Skāda, Venska, and Korska, which shared common North Coscivian cultural traits with the Sedhans but had adopted more sophisticated methods of warfare and social organisation from the Coscivian Empire to the south.

-Today, the ethnic Sedhem population is most heavily concentrated in upstate Kaviska, which the state government continues to recognise as a Sedhem homeland. In this region, known as ''Inosedhēdan'' or simply ''Sedhēdan'', the Sedhem enjoy wide-ranging cultural autonomy. The Sedhem language enjoys a privileged status as the primary language of local administration, education, and business; and there are a large number of periodicals and television and radio programmes in the area using the Sedhan Coscivian language. There are significant Sedhem populations in other parts of Kaviska, although they are much less visible in the multi-ethnic milieu of contemporary Valēka, Trár, Vander, and Evira. [Political influence and party]

-Outside of Kaviska, Sedhem communities exist in Niyaska, eastern Etivéra, [[Arkvera]], and the Punth colonies. Many Arnóriem and Candem Coscivians with long family histories on the island continent have Sedhem ancestry and surnames despite belonging to different ethnosocial groups and typically not speaking the Sedhan language.
