=== 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.▼

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}}
