In the first direction, back toward the Kiravian mainland, Ʒ-Q nautical technology allowed at least two waves of back-migration, one which is believed to have carried the Trans-Kiravian language family, and another which is believed to have carried the Austro-Kiravian language family. Trans-Kiravian speakers also may have sailed northward to [[Koskenkorva]].

In the second direction, toward northern [[Levantia]], Ʒ-Q nautical technology allowed for the resumption of contact between Kiravia and the lands from whence the Ice Age settler ancestors of Kiravians had originally come, quite likely for the first time since 18,500 BC. These back-migrations were directed mainly toward what is now western [[Faneria]], [[Covina]], [[Suderavia]], and (controversially) [[Wintergen]]. At least some of these back-migrations must post-date the establishment of the Lawful Commonwealth, because they carried the Four Laws and Four Precepts and the rudiments of the metaëthnic Coscivian identity with them, beginning the history of the [[Mainland Coscivians]].

Back-migration is estimated to have begun around 6750 BC and continued to trickle on thereafter, transferring important agricultural breakthroughs such as and buckwheat cultivation to the mainland, as well as advanced apicultural techniques adapted to Boreal bee species. Many of the back-migrants may have left to flee the constant violence of the Age of Blood. With the arrival of the technologically sophisticated [[Fenni]] in the Vandarch 6000-5000 BC, regular trade was established between Great Kirav and the Mainland, and would later accelerate as the Fenni became well-established in the region and as the Age of Blood wound down in Great Kirav.
