{{image|
=== The Heraldic Epochs ===
During the [[Silver Kingdoms]] era, the territory now occupied by Jah Keved belonged to the kingdom of [[Valhav]]. Since that time, the countries of [[Tu Bayla]] and [[Triax]] have splintered off, though Jah Keved still holds vast majority of Valhav lands, including what was presumably its capital, [[Vedenar]], along with its [[Oathgate]]. They also managed to expand to include much of mainland [[Rishir]], and parts of western Alethkar.{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}}
=== Era of Solitude ===
For a long time, Jah Keved was the largest country on Roshar. After [[Gavilar Kholin]] unified [[Alethkar]] into a single state, the Veden fought a number of small border wars against the Alethi, attempting to test their defenses.{{book ref|sa3|52}} Though they were eventually pushed back by the forces led by [[Dalinar Kholin]], small conflicts between Alethi and Veden highprinces continued for many years.{{book ref|sa1|16}} Nonetheless, the country remained the main oasis of stability in the region.▼
For a long time, Jah Keved was the largest country on Roshar.
==== Siln Dynasty ====
According to scholar [[Natata Ved]], the dynasty before the Siln dynasty was ruled by the king NanHar, who invaded the area that would come to be [[Triax]], but died in the invasion.{{book ref|sa3|53}} Following his death, his brother, [[NanKhet]], succeded the throne and was a tyrant that survived six assassination attempts. First his sister attempted to kill him to put her husband on the throne, following this their son tried to kill him, then NanKhet’s cousin, then his brother, an uncle, and finally his own son.{{book ref|sa3|53}} This eventually led him to invite his entire household to a feast, where he killed and burned every member.{{book ref|sa3|53}} The exact veracity of this history is questionable, due to the historical method only being in its infancy when Natana Ved wrote her record, two centuries after the events she described.
He ultimately only led for three months, and after his death, the Siln Dynasty rose to power and replaced his familiy as the rulers of Jah Keved.{{book ref|sa3|53}}
==== The Hierocracy (??? - c.{{rosharan date|673}}) ====
{{for|Hierocracy}}
{{for|Sadees}}
In c.{{rosharan date|673}}, the Hierocracy was overthrown by the Alethi conqueror known as [[Sadees|Sadees the Sunmaker]] in a conflict that would come to be known as the [[War of Loss]].{{expand}}

==== Veden Civil War ({{rosharan date|1173}} - {{rosharan date|1174}}) ====
{{anchor|War of Succession}}
This changed, however,
The civil war lasted for a few 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}}
=== The True Desolation ({{rosharan date|1173}} - )===
{{for|True Desolation}}
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}}
