Ventarya: Difference between revisions

Ventarya was first settled by Coscivian colonists from the provinces of Vrytha (Thínorem and Taństem) and Kaltedan, as well as North Kórsa, and today the Thínorem, Southern Taństem, and Kaltem ethnosocial communities descended from these colonists remain the largest and most influential in the state. Most Thínorem have Vexin Coscivian clan affiliations or have assimilated into Vexin-derived Coscivian culture to a significant degree. There is significant overlap between these communal identities, though the degree of overlap is geographically uneven. The distinction between Eshavian and Thínoran identity is strongest in the Baylands, where it carries class connotations differentiating the Eshavian majority from the smaller Thínoran élite. Due to the strong Vexin cultural heritage of the state, many immigrants belonging to Vexin clans from various parts of Old Coscivia settled in Ventarya and Hanoram during the Great Crossing, a process that was repeated during the Third Wave of Coscivian migration to Kiravia when Vexin-descended groups in the wider Coscivian diaspora, such as Denev-Kaitotes and Peppergrass Islanders began arriving in the state.
