The Veden are by and large [[Vorin]], worshipping the [[Almighty]] and the [[Herald]]s. They appear to be more religious than average Vorins, with higher importance being placed on the trappings of the faith, such as the [[safehand]] and the strict division between masculine and feminine arts.{{book ref|sa1|33}} In particular, they are noted to be highly respectful and reverent of the [[ardent]]s, and extremely traditional in the particulars of the doctrine.{{book ref|sa1|7}}
 
In Veden families, the sons have two-part names, with the latter part being their given name, while the former references their order or birth. The first four sons are called '''Nan''', '''Tet''', '''Asha''' and '''Van'''.{{book ref|sa2|45}}{{book ref|sa2|27}} Should one of the sons die or be disinherited, his younger brothers all move up a level; for example, Tet [[Balat]] becomes Nan Balat.{{book ref|sa2|45}} The numerals are used mainly in formal context; siblings usually drop them when talking among themselves.{{book ref|sa1|i|2}}
