Until the Alethi Unification, Jah Keved was the largest country on Roshar, and the main oasis of stability in the region. This changed, however, in the year {{Rosharan date|1173}}, when [[Szeth]] assassinated the Veden king, [[Hanavanar]], along with a number of highprinces.{{book ref|sa1|i|9}} This plunged the country into a chaotic civil war, with at least seven different factions hoping to claim Vedenar and crown their leader king. The situation was further worsened by the presence of the [[Unmade]] [[Nergaoul]], known better as the Thrill, leading Veden soldiers to fight with unprecedented degree of drive and brutality.{{book ref|sa3|100}}
 
The civil war lasted aboutfor a yearfew months, with the final confrontation being the battle at Vedenar. Highprince [[Valam]] emerged victorious, becoming the new 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 shortly before his death, it's possible he was being poisoned by the [[Diagram (group) | Diagram]] to achieve this, as it was them who instigated the civil war by sending Szeth.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}}
 
Under Taravangian's leadership, Jah Keved was, alongside [[Kharbranth]], the first country to ally with [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa3|24}} Fearing that it would be overrun by [[Voidbringer]]s, the king requested - and was granted - aid from other members of the coalition.{{book ref|sa3|96}}. However, following the revelations of the [[Eila Stele]], the country broke off from the alliance as part of [[Diagram (group) | Diagram]]'s plan to undermine Dalinar.{{book ref|sa3|113}}
