Thýstara's first civilian colonists were [[Koskenkorva|Koskenkorvans]] from their home island's far northern end who established the settlements of Tagakūla and Inovintergen (English: "New [[Wintergen]]") on the southeastern shore. Subsequently, the Kiravian government encouraged the emigration of new settlers from Coscivian ethnic groups whose traditional lifestyles were compatible with the subarctic marine climate of Thýstara, such as the various North Coscivian and Sēoran Coscivian peoples, Arnórians, Lúnstans, Kroysanyans, Túkluskan Coscivians, Sikorvians, and Ice Coscivians, as well as non-Coscivian Rhūniks and Finnic-speaking groups from Koskenkorva and the Northern Isles. Most of these settlers came from the states of [[Intravia]], [[Vôtaska]], [[Lataskia]], [[Ixikéa-Qihuxia]], and [[Inokarya]], and as such, the culture of Thýstara is strikingly similar to that of the [[Great Kirav#Zone A - North Coast|North Coast]]. In the 21200s, renewed economic interest in Crona and the expansion of the mining industry encouraged [[Saxalin Islands|Saxalin Islanders]] to relocate to Thýstara, from the Antarctic Circle to the Arctic. | Thýstara's first civilian colonists were [[Koskenkorva|Koskenkorvans]] from their home island's far northern end who established the settlements of Tagakūla and Inovintergen (English: "New [[Wintergen]]") on the southeastern shore.

Relations between the Kiravian settler population and the indigenous Qualkee (or "Island Malki") have been generally peaceful, if one-sided. In the early phases of colonisation, low population densities, limited colonial interest in the interior, and prudent decisions by the colonial administration engendered good relations between the Kiravians and Qualkee. However, tensions inevitably emerged as the settler population grew and expanded at the expense of the Qualkee, who became subject to forcible displacement, disruption of their traditional economies, and cultural degradation. Diseases (both infectious and of environmental etiology), intermarriage, and policy violence all contributed to the absolute decline of the pure-blood Qualkee population from an estimated 64,000 in 1730 to just 22,654 in 2020 AD. In the 21st century AD, the colonial and federal governments have reached agreements guaranteeing the Qualkee more local autonomy and equitable access to land, forest products, and marine resources. It is estimated that between a quarter and a third of the settler population have Qualkee ancestry, though Qualkee leaders and autonomous institutions do not accept mixed-race persons as members of their community unless they were brought up in it from early childhood. | |||
Some insular or nonconformist religious groups have formed communal settlements in Thýstara, including the [[Abrigalasts]]. | |||
