Although [[Kiygrava]] was the first part of Great Kirav to be settled by Coscivians and [[Valēka]] was never rivalled as the island continent's economic core, the [[Míhanska Bay]] area (Ventarya and Hanoram) was the second part of the eastern seaboard where Coscivian colonies successfully took root. The first Coscivian settlements in what would become Ventarya were founded at X, Y, and Z by small companies of self-funded men, mostly drawn from among the gentry and minor nobility of Vrytha and northern Kórsa, most of whom belonged to Vexin Coscivian clans and brought Vexin cultural traditions to their new lands. | Although [[Kiygrava]] was the first part of Great Kirav to be settled by Coscivians and [[Valēka]] was never rivalled as the island continent's economic core, the [[Míhanska Bay]] area (Ventarya and Hanoram) was the second part of the eastern seaboard where Coscivian colonies successfully took root.

However, the decentralised and agrarian course of both colonies' development kept their populations largely dependent on Valēka and Old Coscivia for manufactures. | The cultivation of these crops was a lucrative industry, and the Míhanska colonies quickly overtook Kiygrava in wealth and population.
