'''Valam
==Geography==
[[House Davar]]'s estates are located in the former Valam princedom; they are known for their quarries.{{book ref|sa1|3}}{{book ref|sa1|7}} The size of the princedom and its location within Jah Keved are not known, but [[Shallan Davar]] describes her family's lands as "nowhere near" the capital of [[Vedenar]] on the southern coast.{{book ref|sa2|31}}
==History==
The ruling family of the princedom was House Valam, led by Highprince [[Valam]].{{book ref|sa1|3}} He used his illegitimate son [[Redin]] as an enforcer.{{book ref|sa2|39}} Valam had other children, but they all preceded him in death.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}}
The princedom had sufficient power to emerge victorious in the bloody [[Veden civil war]] of succession in {{Rosharan date|1173}}.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} This victory was influenced by Taravangian and the [[Diagram (group)|Diagram]], who had [[Szeth]] assassinate the other six highprinces who were vying for the throne.{{book ref|sa2|31}} Valam became king of Jah Keved and quickly recognized that Taravangian had contrived this outcome.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} However, due to his severe illness and lack of heirs, he turned the kingdom over to Taravangian anyway.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} Valam then instructed Redin to kill him,{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} presumably dissolving the Valam princedom.
