Eskavia (Eskavian: Eskävit), officially the Eskavian Confederacy (Eskavian: Kopläjukvo Eskävit), is a sovereign state in Elia Boreal. It lies between the Free States to the X and the Alconian Ocean to the west.

Human habitation in Eskavia dates from approximately 12,000 years ago. The Sivo River Valley has hosted complex societies since the emergence of the Attap civilization c. 2100 BCE, and is widely recognized as one of the world's seven independent cradles of civilization. The Attap were followed by a number of societies including the Klik, Plakossu, and Eska. The Sivoan world underwent a rapid societal collapse c. 700 BCE, after which the Eska, from whom the modern Eskavic peoples are descended, established themselves as politically, economically, and culturally dominant in the region. By the time of Calesian first contact in 1581, most of Eskavia was organized into a loose confederacy of city-states led by the hegemonic Kingdom of Väsjomok. The Confederacy maintained its independence through the early colonial era through diplomatic maneuvering, political centralization, and Calesianization. Eskavian leaders successfully exploited Calesian imperial competition in order to preserve the balance of power in Elia Boreal and prevent encroachment by Calesian settlers. Following the conclusion of the Twelve Years' War in 1785, Eskavia was brought under the protection of Waldrich to counter the rising colonial influence of Falland and the Free States.
