Rivain now falls under the jurisdiction of Antiva, and is considered to be part of Antiva. However, the locals of Rivain refuse Antivan rulership. This has led to a rebellion brewing underground, not only by those displaced by the Antivan takeover, but also by those who were unhappy with the monarchy of the Rivain rulers, too. Social standing in Rivaini society is marked by tattoos and body piercings—the more elaborate your tattoos and piercings, the higher your rank is. The Rivaini people are peaceful with the elves.
