Much like [[Alethkar]] or [[Kharbranth]], the population of Jah Keved is divided into [[darkeyes]] and [[lighteyes]], with the latter holding power. A number of weaker, lower-[[dahn]] noble houses own fealty to a group of [[Highprince]]s, who in turn own fealty to a king.

During the [[Silver Kingdoms]] era, the territory now occupied by Jah Keved beloned 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}}
Until the Alethi Unification, Jah Keved was the largest country on Roshar, and the main oasis of stability in the region. This changed, however, in the year 1173, when [[Szeth]] assassinated the Veden king, [[Hanavanar]], along with a number of highprinces.{{book ref|sa1|i|9}} This plunged the country into a chaotic civil war, with at least seven different factions hoping to claim Vedenar and crown
