Kiravian military supremacy and political control was more complete and secure over Æonara, as a relatively smaller offshore landmass (along with Tævuon, an even smaller island), than on the South Cronan mainland, and as such, it was regarded as a safer destination for aspiring smallholders and families emigrating from [[Great Kirav]]. By the time of the National Revolution in the Cape, around three-quarters of the population of Æonara were either mestiço or Coscivised Cronite ''[[Kolakoskem]]'' ("Land Coscivians") or creole ''Farakoskem'' ("Sea Coscivians") of Kiravian extraction; a markedly higher proportion than on the Mainland. For this reason and others, the revolutionary spirit did not burn brightly in Æonara, which emerged as a key Loyalist stronghold. | Kiravian military supremacy and political control was more complete and secure over Æonara, as a relatively smaller offshore landmass (along with Tævuon, an even smaller island), than on the South Cronan mainland, and as such, it was regarded as a safer destination for aspiring smallholders and families emigrating from [[Great Kirav]].
