== Geography and Layout ==
Vedenar lies on the southern edge of [[Jah Keved]], on the cliffs facing [[Tarat Sea]]. The sound of the waves crashing against the stone can be heard across the entire city.{{book ref|sa3|100}} To the west of Vedenar flows an unnamed river stemming from the [[Horneater Peaks]], while to the north lay the vast fields that feed its populace.{{map ref|Roshar}}{{book ref|sa3|100}} Vedenar's ancient center is laid out in the shape of a hexagon, with its main thoroughfares forming a rotationally symmetrical pattern that was likely created through [[cymatics]].{{book ref|sa1|33}}{{file ref|Vedenar city map.jpg|Sketch of Vedenar}} It's likely that the city has grown beyond that since the [[Heraldic Epochs]].
Vedenar is known for its lush atmosphere and many amazing gardens. Most of the city is overgrown with greenery, with rare plants jumbled together wherever there's any space for them to grow. The most magnificent gardens sit atop vast, plate-like terraces that jut out above the city.{{book ref|sa3|100}}
=== Notable Locations ===
;The Oathgate: The ancient [[Valhav]] [[Oathgate]] is located in Vedenar. Prior to the [[True Desolation]], the dais housed one of the city's gardens, but the vegetation has been cleared away once the Oathgate was reactivated. There are two paths atop the gate, a long ramp and a set of stairs.{{book ref|sa3|100}}
;The Royal Palace: The Royal Palace had once been the seat of the royal power in [[Jah Keved]]. It was utterly destroyed during the civil war, to the point where it's now barely recognizable.{{book ref|sa3|100}}
