Much of the history of [[Praviskar]] was destroyed in the taking of [[Dhewa]] by the Trajan fleet/Merc family. There is currently no governmental structure that is not this occupying force. | Much of the history of [[Praviskar]] was destroyed in the taking of [[Dhewa]] by the Trajan fleet/Merc family.

Oescans are devoted to the idea of family and usefulness to society, and have a communalistic social structure. The old, weak, and sick are encouraged to take their own lives lest they be a drag upon group resources. This ritualistic suicide called the 'Yielding' is consists of a month of gathering fuel and building a ritual pyre before setting one's self on fire. Those who are too sick often weave mats instead and then soak themselves in fuel before self-immolation. More independent minded Oescans are shunned. An agrarian culture, they have subsisted on what scant resources could be eked out of Praviskar's unfruitful soil for centuries. Many of them enjoy a tai-chi-like sport called [[Moenisi]]. | Oescans are devoted to the idea of family and usefulness to society, and have a communalistic social structure.
