== Geography ==
[[FILE:{{image|Jah Keved on the World Map.jpg|thumb|side=right|width=250px|Jah Keved on the world map]]}}
Located in eastern Roshar, Jah Keved is the second largest state on the planet, claiming over five and a half million square kilometers of land.{{url17s ref|url=https://www.17thshard.com/forum/blogs/entry/blog|634-roshar-physical-characteristics-and-areas/|text=Roshar Physical Characteristics And Areas|sitedate=17th Shard9-30-2018}} It shares its eastern border with [[Alethkar]] and [[Herdaz]] on three rivers, while in the west, it is bordered by [[Tu Bayla]] and [[Triax]]. North to south, the country stretches across the entire continent, between the [[Reshi Sea | Reshi]] and [[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 the east, which form an important strategic barrier against the Alethi.{{map ref|Roshar}}

[[FILE:{{image|Vedenar city map.jpg|side=left|width=200px|thumb|Ancient [[Vedenar]] ]]}}
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]].{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}}

The Veden people are typically associated with pale skin and violet eyes.{{book ref|sa1|46}} Their language belongs to the Vorin family, and is close enough to that of [[Alethkar]] to be mutually intelligible for both sides.{{wob ref|3977}} The Alethi are also close to Vedens in fashion.{{file ref|Contemporary Male Fashion.jpg|Contemporary Male Fashion}}
