Eskavia (Eskavian: Eskävut), officially the Eskavian Confederacy (Eskavian: Kopläjukvo Eskävut), is a sovereign state in Elia Boreal. It lies between the Free States to the X and the Alconian Ocean to the west.
Humans have inhabited Eskavia for at least 12,000 years, and archeologists widely consider the region to be one of the world's cradles of civilization. Beginning in the 16th century BC, Eskavia was home to a number of complex societies including the Äiktap, Mjetlumak, and Plest. By the time Calesian explorers arrived in 15XX, most of the region was organized into a network of city-states characterized by sophisticated earthworks and a well-developed road network. The Eskavian Confederacy, an alliance of five cities led by the hegemonic Kingdom of Väsjomok, was the most powerful political entity in the region and one of the most influential in Elia Boreal as a whole.
The Confederacy maintained its independence through the early colonial era through diplomacy and rapid Calesianization. Eskavians were among the first native Elian peoples to convert en masse to Gregorianism, a process aided significantly by their advanced system of communication between communities. Eskavian leaders successfully exploited imperial competition between the Calesian powers, establishing economic and military ties to preserve the balance of power in Elia Boreal. Following the conclusion of the Twelve Years' War in 1785, Eskavia was brought under the protection of Waldrich in an effort to counter the rising influence of Falland and the Free States in the region.
