}}{{objective\|date=2019-04\|\|claim=Rasarr}}{{update\|book=sa3}} '''Jah Keved''' is one of the five [[Vorinism\|Vorin Kingdoms]] on [[Roshar]], situated in the eastern half of the continent. Its capital is [[Vedenar]].{{book ref\|sa1\|33}} ~~It is [[Shallan]]'s homeland.~~ == Geography == Located in eastern Roshar, Jah Keved is the second largest state on the planet, claiming over five and a half million square kilomtres of land{{url ref\|url=https://www.17thshard.com/forum/blogs/entry/634-roshar-physical-characteristics-and-areas/\|text=Roshar Physical Characteristics And Areas\|site=17th Shard}}{{ref\|text=For reference, this a little over half the size of United States.}}. It shares its eastern border with Alethkar and Herdaz on three unnamed ~~river~~rivers, while in the west, it is bordered by [[Tu Bayla]] and [[Triax]]. North to south, the country stretches across the entire continent, between [[Reshi Sea \| Reshi]] to [[Tarat Sea \|Tarat]] Seas. Though verdant, Jah Keved doesn't possess many major rivers. The country's most notable geographical feature are the [[Horneater Peaks]] in its eastern part.{{map ref\|Roshar}} Over the past two years, most of the country's political structures have been thrown into chaos or outright disintegrated. Opening with the death of the then-king, [[Hanavanar]] at the hands of the [[Szeth\|Assassin in White]], the ensuing civil war has claimed the lives of all the Veden Highprinces, either through assassination or open warfare. The nominal victor of the war, [[Valam]], passed the Vedish crown to king [[Taravangian]] of Kharbranth, who has a claim to the throne through his mother.{{book ref\|sa2\|i\|14}} As the largest state prior to the unification of Alethkar, Jah Keved has ~~notable~~strong influence on the culture of other Vorin states. The centre of [[Vorinism \|Vorin faith]], the Holy Enclave, is located in the Vedish city of [[Valath]].{{book ref\|sa3\|100}} Valath is also the location of one of Roshar's major [[spanreed]] hubs, adding to the city's importance.{{book ref\|sa2\|47}} Though not as militaristic, Jah Keved is thought to possess the most [[Shardblade]]s of any of the Vorin kingdoms other than Alethkar.{{book ref\|sa1\|23}} ==== Battle of Vedenar (1173) ==== The final confrontation of the civil war, the Battle of Vedenar was fought between several highprinces, with [[Valam]] emerging victorious and crowning himself the king. However, he quickly passed the crown to king [[Taravangian]] before ordering his illegitimate son, [[Redin]], to kill him. Given Valam's poor health and his insinuations, it's possible he was being poisoned by the [[Diagram]] to achieve this.{{book ref\|sa2\|i\|14}} == Notable people from Jah Keved == * [[Shallan Davar]], the first [[Lightweaver]] of the new generation of [[Knights Radiant]] * The rest of the [[House Davar\|Davar household]], including the father, [[Lin Davar \|Lin]], as well as his four sons [[Wikim]], [[Jushu]], [[Balat]] and [[Helaran]]. * [[Valam]], the former Vedish Highprince-turned-King * [[Hanavanar]], the previous Vedish king, whose death caused the Jah Keved civil war. == Notes ==
