'''Silnasen'''
==History==
Silnasen has an indigenous population that is distinct from the other Veden.{{book ref|sa2|54}}
According to [[Natata Ved]], ancient Silnasen was ruled by a king named [[NanKhet]]. NanKhet took over the throne after his brother, King [[NanHar]], died while campaigning with his army in modern-day [[Triax]]. NanKhet survived six assassination attempts from his own family members in three months. Weary of defending his life, he executed hundreds of people at a feast, then choked to death when no one was left to help him.{{book ref|sa3|53}} The Siln dynasty was founded after his death.{{book ref|sa3|53}}
At some points in its history, Silnasen has been governed as an independent city-state.{{wob ref|4006}} Their monarchs have generally declined to claim the first [[dahn]] in order to avoid provoking the Veden and [[Alethi]].{{wob ref|4006}}
==Culture==
In the present day, the Siln are thought of as a less modernized society than the rest of Jah Keved. [[Shallan Davar]] compares the Siln to other indigenous people in [[Iri]] and the [[Reshi Isles]]. Their disputes tend to result in posturing rather than actual combat because they live a lifestyle in which hunting skill is too valuable to risk in battle. They are not known to commit assassinations.{{book ref|sa2|54}}
At least some of the Siln people follow [[Vorinism]]; a Siln [[ardent]] named [[Urv]] studies at the [[Jokasha Monastery]].{{book ref|sa3|i|2}}
