The Northern | The Northern Fringe extends along the [[Coscivian Sea]] coast of Great Kirav from [[Mariava]] (where it overlaps with Zone B) to [[Devalōmara]], and is generally held to extend roughly 2-4 countyships inland along this span, depending on longitude, before merging into the Mid-Continental region. The climate of the North Coast is cold and harsh, classified as cool continental or subarctic in some places and subpolar oceanic in others, particularly islands like Tharvia. The ecologically hemiboreal belt stretching across northern Great Kirav is roughly coëxtensive with the cultural transition zone between the North Coast and Mid-Continental areas. | ||
Cuisine: Potato, fish, oats | The long-established Coscivian inhabitants of the Northern Fringe are known as [[Ethnic groups in Kiravia#Arnórian Coscivians|Arnórian Coscivians]]. Arnórian Coscivians remain the majority or plurality group in most countyships on the Northern Fringe, and residents of other ethnic backgrounds have come to adopt much of Arnórian culture and even partially assimilate into an Arnórian identity. | ||

These techniques persisted even after the establishment of reliable trading networks made hops from the southern East Highlands available to North Coast settlements, and the region's spruce and heather ales continue to be produced in the style of the early pioneers. | ||
