The '''Old Dominion''' is an [[Overseas Regions|overseas region]] of the [[Kiravian Federacy]] comprising the peninsular province of [[Suderavia]] and the island province of [[Scapa]], both located along the northern coast of [[Levantia]] on the [[Kilikas Sea]]. Along with [[Ilánova]], with which it has strong historic ties, the lands of the Old Dominion are considered one of the {{wp|cradle of civilisation|cradles}} of [[Coscivian civilisation]]. | |||
==History== | |||
Recently unearthed evidence demonstrates that the wanderings of the {{wp|archaic human|archæic homonin}} species ''Homo darudensis'' passed through modern Suderavia at one point, though the duration of its presence is still quite uncertain. The earliest anatomically and behaviourally modern human culture to leave a significant archæological mark on the Old Dominion lands, specifically Suderavia, was an outlying branch of the [[Packer Culture]], known among scholars as the 'Green Bay Packers' as the densest concentration of Packer artifacts in Suderavia is found around the ''Keremonta'' (Ænglish: "Green Bay"). Flint and bone tools fashioned in the [[Prehistory_of_Great_Kirav#First_Humans_-_Ice_Bridges_from_Demomap|Demomappic style]] recovered from the surrounding seabed attest to the first ventures of the direct ancestors of Kiravians into the vicinity, beginning what would prove to be a long history of this. | |||
Around 6750 BC, during the Neolithic, maritime technology introduced to littoral Kiravia by the Ʒ-Q Culture facilitated a series of multidirectional, outbound seaborne migrations by the sophisticated megalith-building culture of Éorsa. Two westward waves or floes of migration carried the Austro-Kiravian and Trans-Kiravian languages to the Kiravian mainland. Migration by easterly routes during the same period appears to have carried a separate branch of the Trans-Kiravian languages back to the northwestern Levantian lands from whence their Ice Age ancestors had come thousands of years earlier, including Suderavia. In addition to their languages, these voyageurs brought with them a [[Prehistory_of_Great_Kirav#Megalithic_Coscivians|knack and propensity for megalithic ritual architecture]], and other characteristic cultural adaptations - the rudiments of the proto-ethnic Coscivian identity. Thus begins the history of the [[Mainland Coscivians]]. | |||
