Enscirya

Enscirya is a Kiravian colony.

History

Kiravian explorers found Enscirya very early on in their voyages, but the cool, windy forest land was overlooked until Druid and Celtichristian settlers from Coscivia-via-Kirav began arriving. The new colonists settled and farmed squash, gourds, and potatoes, keeping them in wooden racks called "ensi-years"(ends-the years, named for their time of harvest). When the colony was officially chartered, it was granted the name "Enscirya". The population grew, though not to greatly. Over time, Enscirya's mystic heritage spawned a library system. THis grew into a network of institutes across the nation. Originally intended to educate citizens in Druidic practices, these schools became major colleges and universities, offereing thousands of classes. Enscirya became a centre of learning in the Empire.

Economy

A large portion of the economy is related to Education. Book Printing, COnstruction, and Personell-oriented industries thrive in the college towns. Professional Services have developed from the high levels of edication, and many fuction over the internet. In smaller towns and villages, cottage industry, shopkeeping, and distance jobs employ much of the population.

Pumpkins, Squash, Gourds, Turbans, and the like are the main crops, as well as apples and potatos. When the weather occasionally brakes the perpetual Fall, Cinnamon, Basil, Mints, Carrots, and Turnips can be grown.

Demographics

Enscirya's population makeup has changed little since its initial colonization.

Race and Ethnicity

The colony's inhabitants tend to be of Ieurlev, Kaldev, or Cyrmev ancestry. However, related Cosciv groups, as well as a few Anglev do live in Enscirya. Racially, Enscirya is very homogeneous, with 98% of the population being Cosciv.

Religion

Enscirya was originally a religious colony. Thus, Celtitheism and Druidism remain the largest faiths in the country. Procivtheism and Catholic Christianity are practiced in small pockets near the coastal areas. -
