-The Kandem are an important ethnic group within the Kiryaniv Coscivian cohort. Their homeland is the city of Evira and its environs in upstate [[Kiygrava]], from whence many generations of Kandem pioneers have gone on to establish substantial Kandem communities in [[Arkvera]] (where they are the largest Coscivian group), north-central [[Kastera]], northern [[Hiterna]], [[Intravia]], [[Vôtaska]], [[Devalōmara]], and [Roberta]; as well as parts of northern Etivéra and West Etivéra. The Kandem dialect of Kiravic has a long literary tradition, and is used as the preferred written form of Kiravic by many newspapers and educational institutions in heavily Kandem areas, and for administrative purposes by the Arkvera state government and many local governments in Kiygrava.

 The Kandem have historically been associated with the Archepiscopal Church of Kiravia, which was born of a complicated (and still poorly understood) schism that separated the Archdiocese of Evira from the wider Coscivian Orthodox Church. Affiliation with the Archepiscopal Church is an important marker of Kandem identity, and Archepiscopal parishes form the nexi of many Kandem communities, though the denomination is multi-ethnic and a significant minority of Kandem remain Coscivian Orthodox or have converted to Roman Catholicism. Most Kandem also practice the Coscivian religions of Ruricanism or Iduanism to some extent.
