Eskavia (Eskavian: Eskävo), officially the Eskavian Confederacy (Eskavian: Eskävola Littuk), is a sovereign state in Elia Boreal. It lies between the Free States to the southeast and the Alconian Ocean to the west. With a population of more than 33 million, Eskavia is the Xth most populous nation in the world.

Human habitation in Eskavia dates from approximately 12,000 years ago. The Sivot River Valley, historically known as Sivotia, 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 Ulko. The Sivotian world underwent a rapid societal collapse c. 700 BCE, during which the Kavio, from whom the modern Eskavic peoples are descended, migrated into the region. By the time of Calesian first contact in 1561, most of Sivotia was organized into a loose confederacy of Eskavic city-states led by the hegemonic Kingdom of Mjetlumak. 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 Sivot Valley.
