\|books=[[The Stormlight Archive]] }} {{update\|sa4}} {{quote \| Vedenar, one of the great cities of the world, was now little more than a heap of rubble and ash. Vedenar is one of the [[Dawncity\|Dawncities]], the oldest settlements in all of [[Roshar]].{{book ref\|sa1\|33}} Back during the [[Heraldic Epochs]], it lay in the [[Silver Kingdoms\|Silver Kingdom]] of [[Valhav]], and, having an [[Oathgate]], was presumably its capital.{{map ref\|Silver Kingdoms}} Shortly before the [[Recreance]], it was known as '''Veden City'''.{{epigraph ref\|sa1\|46}} In the late [[Era of Solitude]], Vedenar was well-known worldwide as one of the greatest cities on the planet.{{book ref\|sa3\|100}} However, the [[Diagram (group)\|Diagram]] sought to destabilize the country so as to give [[Taravangian]] an opening to take it over.{{book ref\|sa2\|i\|4}} For this reason, they sent [[Szeth]] to Vedenar to assassinate king [[Hanavanar]], his son and the highprinces, plunging Jah Keved into civil war.{{book ref\|sa1\|i\|9}}{{book ref\|sa2\|31}} The forces led by highprince [[Valam]] took over Vedenar.{{book ref\|sa2\|34}} The other highprinces soon followed after him ~~him there~~, and the city fell into a months-long siege later termed the Battle of Vedenar.{{book ref\|sa2\|i\|14}} The siege was excessively brutal, owing to the Veden soldiers being pushed forward by the [[Thrill]] into combat past all reason. Many forces continued fighting even after suffering over fifty percent losses.{{book ref\|sa3\|100}} In one battle, one of the armies pushed another off the city's cliffs and onto the ridge that protected the port from the highstorms.{{book ref\|sa2\|i\|14}} The civil war eventually wound down, with Valam emerging victorious. However, he was extremely ill, and it was at this time that Taravangian arrived, bringing medical supplies and food. As he had a claim to the throne through his mother, Valam passed the crown onto him before ordering his own son, [[Redin]], to kill him.{{book ref\|sa2\|i\|14}}
