They see themselves as a distinct people native to Khorvaire, separate from their human and elven ancestors who originated in Sarlona and Aerenal/Xen'drik respectively, and have existed as such for thousands of years, well predating Galifar.Khoravar in particular are noted as having their own communities, if not necessarily their own nation - and there's a movement, pushed in no small part by House Lyrandar, to change that latter point.The ostensibly elven nation of Valenar (formerly a chunk of southeastern Cyre seized by Tairnadal mercenaries during the Last War) is largely administrated by Lyrandar-backed Khoravar bureaucrats because the elves aren't actually there to govern - they're an occupying army readying for war (though against whom is uncertain) that may well have no intention of staying once their goals are achieved. By providing them with their administrative services, the Khoravar are effectively building a shadow government in Valenar and putting themselves in position to take over if/when the elves ultimately decide to withdraw.</blockquote>
