In countries of [[Coscivian]] heritage, an '''''inkuv''''' is a type of {{wp|way station}} along a roadway. The ''inkuv'' originated during the First Coscivian Empire as a feature of the First Empire's Verticalist economic system, which required infrastructural innovations such as well-maintained overland roadways to facilitate the state-directed redistribution of goods and labour. | In countries of [[Coscivian]] heritage, an '''''inkuv''''' is a type of {{wp|way station}} along a roadway.

In modern Kiravia, an ''inkuv'' is a {{wp|rest stop|highway rest stop}} or {{wp|travel plaza}}, though often with features and amenities that hearken back to earlier ''inkuya''. ''Inkuya'' along modern Kiravian interstate highways typically include a small nondenominational {{wp|chapel}}. | In modern Kiravia, an ''inkuv'' is a {{wp|rest stop|highway rest stop}} or {{wp|travel plaza}}, though often with features and amenities that hearken back to earlier ''inkuya''.

==Hekuvihírsda== | |||
The '''''Hekuvihírsda''''' (English: "Caphirian story"), sometimes known in English as '''Kiro-Hekuvian Gothic''' is a literary and theatrical {{wo|genre fiction|fiction genre}} that flourished in [[Kiravia|Kirav]] during the XYZth and XYƔth centuries. Though written in Kiravia by Kiravians, the stories were set in [[Caphiria]] during various phases of its history, and followed casts of Caphirian characters. Common themes in ''Hekuvihírsda'' included sensuality, political and familial intrigue, luxury and opulence, ambition, and revenge. | |||
Caphiria and Kiravia have a long history of commercial, cultural, and diplomatic exchange. One effect of this long history of interaction has been a lasting impression in the Kiravian collective psyche of Caphiria as a warm, exotic country filled with fine cuisine, art, and architecture, and a more sensual and Epicurian culture that contrasts with the colder, greyer climate of [[Great Kirav]] and its more stoic and melancholic cultural ethos. | |||
