Notions of law, lawfulness, legality are closely tied to the development of [[Coscivian civilisation]] and Coscivian identity. According to tradition, primitive agricultural Kirav was a violent and brutish environment characterised by near-constant {{wp|endemic war|endemic warfare}} between small tribal units, and widespread murderous practices such as {{wp|infanticide}} and {{wp|uxoricide}} within tribes due to both ritual demand and resource scarcity. Lifespans were extremely short, with the prelude to the [[Great Law Chant]], the fundamental "text" of Coscivian law, recalling that "mere beards - not white but rich with ''[[Colour in Coscivian culture|ūmar]]'' were the mark of the elder; fortunate and few were those who survived to full manhood, for the earth was bathed in the young blood of hairless youth." It was only with the rise of the [[Marble_Emperor#Significance|Emperors]], through their imposition of the Four Laws and patronage of the Four Rites, that communities were able to know peace and order. This nascent stage of Coscivian civilisation, known as the '[[Lawful Commonwealth]]', was a tribal {{wp|confederacy}} rather than a proper state, without an administration or defined territory. | In Ixtralargin's paradigm, each successive stage of development built upon, but *did not replace* the contributions of the preceding stage, resulting in a complex, layered body of legal norms, practices, and principles. | ||
