Kaviska: Difference between revisions

'''Kiygrava''', often referred to in Ænglish as '''the Kiygrava''' is the most populous state of the [[Kiravian Federacy]], located in the northeastern region of [[Great Kirav]]. Home to [[Valēka]], the Federacy's largest city and economic and cultural capital, Kiygrava has always been at the centre of Kiravian history, with its economic, political, and cultural influence stretching far through time and space. Home to the first permanent [[Coscivian]] settlements in Ixnay, Kiygrava played a pivotal role in the colonial and viceregal periods of Kiravian history, and during the [[Republican Revolution]]. It was the first area of Kirav to industrialise, and its merchants and mariners led the rise of Kiravia as a maritime and mercantile power.

The Coscivian expedition led by Kedhur Valēkas that discovered Great Kiravia made its first landfall on the island of [[Ilánova]]. While circumnavigating the island in order to chart its coasts, the explorers sighted a larger landmass, the island continent of Great Kirav proper. Sailing southest toward and around the Iaspara Peninsula, Valēkas and his crew entered what is now the Valēka Roadstead, which they noted for its sheltered waters and several natural harbours created by the surrounding islands and peninsulae.
