Most Coscivian-Suderavians are either Catholics worshipping according to the Coscivian Rite or belong to the [[Insular Apostolic Church]]. The Coscivian Orthodox Church had a significant presence earlier in the peninsula’s history, but by the mid-19th century the last Coscivian Orthodox parishes had either entered communion with Urceopolis or disbanded. It would later be revived during the Sunderance by refugees from other Kiravian states. | ||

Suderavia is home to a considerable population of [[Abrigalasts]], representing one of the largest and oldest Abrigalast communities in Ixnay. The Abrigalasts of Suderavia arrived fairly early in the history of their faith, having fled persecution in South Levantia and been welcomed by the Covine government of the time to cultivate its more marginal lands. Most Suderavian Abrigalasts do not respond to the Federal Census, but there are estimated to be about 5,000, with around 60% living in Abrigalast settlements, though figures for urban Abrigalasts are likely underreported. Although they are mainly of Levantine ancestry, Suderavian Abrigalasts have spoken Suderavian Coscivian as their native language for centuries. | Suderavia is home to a considerable population of [[Abrigalasts]], representing one of the largest and oldest Abrigalast communities in Ixnay.
