In addition to the Paisonic Coscivians and Ærans, other Coscivian ethnic groups strongly associated with the mass migrations of the Great Crossing Era have substantial populations in Niyaska. Vilamans and Kaśuvans have a vibrant presence in County Hersek, which is also home to one of the largest Lusan populations on the eastern seaboard. Eskean Coscivians are present throughout the state in small numbers and are credited with establishing the first "Niyaska eateries" (see below), most of which are still owned and operated by Eskean families today. | In addition to the Paisonic Coscivians and Ærans, other Coscivian ethnic groups strongly associated with the mass migrations of the Great Crossing Era have substantial populations in Niyaska.
