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. 1700 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. 400 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 the Sivo Valley was organized into a loose confederacy of Eskavic city-states led by the hegemonic Kingdom of Väsjomok. Eskavia was one of the few indigenous societies in the Elias to avoid widespread settler colonialism during the early modern era, largely maintaining its independent social and political structures while adapting them to Calesian norms. Eskavia was quick to embrace Gregorianism and condolidate into a federated nation state, while maintaining sovereignty over its core territory in the Sivo Valley.
