Geografía y ecología

Jah Keved en el mapamundi roshariano

Localizada en el este de Roshar, Jah Keved es la segunda nación más grande del planeta, con aproximadamente 5.553.000 Km². Comparte su frontera este con Alezkar, Herdaz y los 3 ríos que ayudan a componerla, mientras que en el oeste bordea con Tu Bayla y Triax. El país se extiende por todo el continente de norte a sur, entre los mares de Reshi y de Tarat.

Aunque tiene abundante vegetación, Jah Keved no tiene muchos ríos importantes. La característica geográfica más importante son los Picos Comecuernos del este, que forman una barrera estratégica contra los alezi.

Flora y fauna

Jah Keved contains a wide variety of animals and plants. Common species include axehounds and chulls, both of which are domesticated. There are also many species of cremlings and small sarpenthyn. There are even animals that are able to change colors. Aside from that, there is a relatively large number of horses in Jah Keved, although these are extremely expensive. Land with a high elevation is often overgrown, especially with vines, so much so that it is hard to walk without tripping. Going into a wooded area often requires a machete. There are also many rockbuds, a number of which have blossoms and vibrant green vines. The jella tree is a common species, and shalebark grows on nearly everything.

Historia

Creation

The area that would later become known as Jah Keved was created at an unknown point before the Shattering by Adonalsium, along with the rest of Roshar and the Rosharan supercontinent, over ten-thousand years prior to Vorin year 1174. It is unknown, if at all, how much the geography of modern-day Jah Keved has changed compared to the land at creation.

Pre-Human Arrival

Before humanity arrived on Roshar, fleeing from Ashyn, the land that would come to be known as Jah Keved was inhabited by Singers, called the Dawnsingers.

Circa -5825 in the Vorin calendar, humanity arrived on Roshar after fleeing Ashyn and were granted the land that would become known as Shinovar. After less than a generation, they headed an invasion, slaughtering many Singers and expelling them from their land, claiming it as their own. This included the land that would come to be known as Jah Keved. This period of history was lost to time until the discovery of the Eila Stele.

Mapa de los Reinos Plateados

===Las Épocas Heráldicas Durante la era de los Reinos Plateados, el territorio ahora ocupado por Jah Keved pertenecía al reino de Valhav. Desde entonces, se separaron los países de Tu Bayla y Triax, aunque Jah Keved todavía mantiene la gran mayoría de las tierras de Valhav, incluyendo la que era presuntamente su capital, Vedenar, junto con su Puerta Jurada. También se las apañaron para incluir gran parte deRishir, y partes de oeste de Alezkar.

Era de la Soledad

Dinastía Siln

Según la erudita Natata Ved, la dinastía anterior a la dinastía Siln estaba gobernada por el rey NanHar, que invadió la zona que llegaría a ser Triax, pero murió en la invasión. Tras su muerte, su hermano, NanKhet, sucedió en el trono y fue un tirano que sobrevivió a seis intentos de asesinato. Primero su hermana intentó matarlo para poner a su marido en el trono, después su hijo intentó matarlo, después el primo de NanKhet, después su hermano, un tío y finalmente su propio hijo. Esto le llevó con el tiempo a invitar a toda su familia a un banquete, donde mató y quemó a todos los miembros. La veracidad exacta de esta historia es cuestionable, ya que el método histórico estaba en pañales cuando Natana Ved escribió su relato, dos siglos después de los hechos que describió.

Al final sólo gobernó durante tres meses y, tras su muerte, la dinastía Siln subió al poder y reemplazó a su familia como gobernantes de Jah Keved.

La Hierocracia (??? - c.673)

Eventually the Siln dynasty fell, and an unknown period of time later Jah Keved fell under the sway of the Hierocracy. With the assembly of Jah Keved into the Hierocracy the ardents started ruling the nation.

The Hierocracy did not just control Veden territories, but was actually a much wider Vorin coalition, including the likes of what would come to be known as Alethkar, Kharbranth, and Thaylenah. But as it grew larger, it became more and more difficult to keep stable and consolidated, thus their power turned unstable, laying the foundations for the War of Loss and destruction of the Hierocracy.

The War of Loss (c.673)

Para más información, ver War of Loss.

The Hierocracy lasted until the Sunmaker, an Alethi warlord, led his kingdom in a successful revolt against Vorin rule circa 673, known as the War of Loss. Many cities were sacked and destroyed during this war and the chaos of its aftermath.

After overthrowing the Hierocracy, Sadees split Vorinism into multiple Devotaries, leaving it heavily decentralized. Furthermore, ardents had their rights to own property and political office stripped away, they were no longer allowed to amass wealth, and they were reduced into being little more than slaves. However, they were stilled allowed to excommunicate people without political consultation. They also had their claims of seeing visions of the future thoroughly debunked, questioning their authority as unquestionable religious figures even further.

This was all done by Sadees in the attempt to prevent another Hierocracy from rising in the future. The Hierocracy and its fall served to shape modern Vorinism.

Alethi conquest of Jah Keved

After the War of Loss Sadees turned his attention to the rest of Roshar, and after a successful conquest of Herdaz, he conquered Jah Keved, carving his way through the country all the way to Azir.

After the Sunmaker's death, his ten sons could not agree on one of their number as his successor. With none of them willing to forego their claim to the throne, they split the kingdom into ten princedoms, which they ruled individually as Highprinces, with no unifying government. This loss of central government in the empire led to the occupied territories, including Jah Keved, regaining their independence.

Guerra civil veden (1173 - 1174)

Años más tarde, poco antes de la llegada de la Auténtica Desolación, el rey veden, Hanavanar, junto con varios altos príncipes, fue asesinado el Tanatesev 1173 por Szeth. Esto sumió al país en una guerra civil caótica, con al menos siete facciones diferentes esperando reclamar Vedenar y coronar a su líder como rey. La situación empeoró aún más con la presencia del deshecho Nergaoul, más conocido como la Emoción, que llevó a los soldados veden a luchar con un grado de determinación y brutalidad sin precedentes.

La guerra civil duró unos pocos meses, siendo el enfrentamiento final en la batalla de Vedenar. El alto príncipe Valam emerge victorioso, convirtiéndose en el nuevo rey. Sin embargo, rápidamente pasa la corona al rey Taravangian de Khrbranth antes de ordenar a su hijo ilegítimo, Redin, que lo mate. Dada la pobre salud de Valam y sus insinuaciones antes de morir, es posible que fuera envenenado por el Diagrama para conseguirlo, dado que fueron ellos los que instigaron la guerra civil al enviar a Szeth.

La Auténtica Desolación (1173 - )

Para más información, ver Auténtica Desolación.

Bajo el liderazgo de Taravangian, Jah Keved fue, junto con Kharbranth, el primer país en aliarse con Urithiru. Temiendo que fueran invadidos por los Portadores del Vacío, el rey solicitó, y recibió, ayuda de los otros miembros de la coalición.. Sin embargo, tras las revelaciones del Eila Stele, el país se separó de la alianza como parte del plan del Diagrama para debilitar a Dalinar.

A pesar de que el rey Taravangian se comprometió con Odium, Jah Keved no era parte del trato. Tras la batalla de la Explanada Thayleña, Taravangian empieza los preparativos para el cambio de bando de Jah Keved, ascendiendo de posición a personas vulnerables al control de Odium, colocando a sus tropas donde puedan volverse contra Dalinar e insinuándoles a sus seguidores que la guerra es cosa de Alezkar y Azir. Cuando Taravangian da la orden, las tropas veden se vuelven en contra de la coalición de monarcas y se unen al bando de Odium.

Government

Monarchy

Monarch

The Vedens have a long history of monarchies. The monarchy, while powerful, is not autocratic. Its power over the highprinces is maintained primarily through access to soulcasters, all of which are owned by the monarch. The monarch also spends much of his time setting the highprinces against each other, likely to prevent them from getting to powerful.

The ruling monarch traditionally takes the first dahn. This means that he socially outranks anyone, including the highprinces, except for the monarchs of other powerful Vorin nations. Al igual que Alezkar y Kharbranth, la población de Jah Keved se encuentra dividida en ojos oscuros y ojos claros, y son estos últimos los que ostentan el poder. Cierto número de casa nobles de bajo dahn más débiles deben lealtad a un grupo de altos príncipes, que a su vez deben lealtad a un rey. Antes de la guerra civil, los altos príncipes eran Valam, Abrial, Evinor y Jal Mala.

Rules of Succesion

After a monarch, most often a king, has died, a member of his family will ascend to the throne. This is generally his eldest son. After the heir ascends the throne his dahn changes from second to first. The death of a monarch might also lead to a civil war, with each of the highprinces attempting to claim the throne.

Princedoms

	+	

Even though Jah Keved has a monarchy, it is divided into a number of princedoms, each ruled by a lighteyed highprince. These princedoms essentially act as independent kingdoms, with the highprince as their king, the Veden monarchy being mostly ceremonial. Each of the princedoms is named after the family controlling it, which leads to names such as Valam and Evinor princedom.

	+	
	+	

Each of these princedoms also has its own military, largely independent of one another. The highprinces often squabble and fight each other, trying to claim land from the other princedoms for themselves.

	+	
	+	

The princedoms contain many isolated estates. The brightlords of these estates have their own vassals, who rule hamlets or possess no land. The brightlords who rule settlements are called citylords. While these lords are sworn to a highprince, they mostly rule independently and will only answer to greater authority when called upon.

	+	
	+	

Highprinces

	+	

The rulers of these Veden princedoms are called highprinces. They essentially function as the leaders of sovereign nations, rather then just heads of administrative districts. The Veden highprinces take the second dahn.

	+	
	+	

Prior to the Veden civil war, known Veden Highprinces were Valam, Abrial, Boriar, Evinor and Jal Mala. Some of the highprinces died during the civil war however, and newly crowned Taravangian appointed two new highprinces to replace the ones lost. The two men are brothers, the elder of which is named Nan Urian.

	+	
	+	

It is unknown how new highprinces are chosen, but they are only chosen from the powerful and high ranked lighteyes, which likely allows for some people to become a highprince based only on wealth and power. The Veden monarch can also appoint new highprinces.{

Relaciones internacionales

Alethkar

The Vedens have an interesting relationship with the neighbouring country of Alethkar. The Vedens and Alethi have fought many small wars against one another, mostly over the same territories. These wars tended to be fought between the individual highprinces of the nations, although the Veden king Hanavanar took interest in the conflicts and ordered a small invasion to test the Alethi defenses around the year 1155.

	+	

Despite this, the relationship between the nations is quite well. The nations have a very similar culture, with both of them being Vorin nations. Furthermore, a marriage of lighteyes between nations is seen as nothing particularly out of the ordinary, nor is it forbidden by any laws. The Vedens also have extensive trade treaties in place, which allow them to trade with the Alethi for cheap.

Ejército

“ Hablamos de que Jah Keved está indefensa, pero esa debilidad es muy relativa. Siguen teniendo un ejército permanente enorme y buenas fortificaciones. Si el enemigo se enreda atacando Jah Keved ahora, mientras está apuntalando su poder, agotará sus recursos y retrasará la conquista. ”

— Dalinar Kholin sobre el ejército veden

Durante gran parte de la historia de Jah Keved, cada alto príncipe mantenía su propio ejército. Sin embargo, parece que tras la coronación de Taravangian las unidades supervivientes se han plegado bajo su mando. Como la última batalla se luchó en Vedenar, la mayoría de las tropas se encuentran en refugios para tormentas en las afueras de la ciudad. La guerra civil fue catastrófica para el ejército veden, con muchos escuadrones sufriendo más de un 50% de bajas pero, a pesar del número de bajas, el ejército veden sigue contando con una enorme cantidad de soldados y fortificaciones poderosas.

Fortifications and defenses

Jah Keved boasts strong fortifications, entering their territory without sufficient preparations is generally considered to be a horrid idea bound to mire the potential assailant in years-long conflict, and a massive drain on resources.

Un punto importante en la estrategia veden es la defensa de la franja de tierra entre los Picos Comecuernos y Alezkar. Aunque es estrecha y poco poblada, su tierra verde y rica puede ser usada como escala en cualquier invasión a Jah Keved.

Tactics

The Veden armies are known for their unique raiding tactics. The army operates in smaller raider groups, about four thousand strong, backed by a powerful main force. Those raiders are highly mobile, capable of harrying the enemy while avoiding direct confrontation. Despite this, the Vedens are very capable on a large battlefield, usually fighting in large shield walls. Their generals are noted to be excellent, even by Alethi standards. The Vedens use drums to communicate on the battlefield.

Shards

Jah Keved owns a lot of Shards, about twenty blades and an unknown number of sets of plate. This means that Jah Keved, alongside Alethkar, has the most Blades of any other kingdom on Roshar.

Cultura

Peoples

Jah Keved is composed of at least four distinct ethnic groups - Veden, Siln, Bav and Unkalaki. Jah Keved está compuesto por al menos cuatro grupos étnicos diferentes - Veden, Siln, Bav y Unkalaki.

Veden

“Mientras vuestra comida le sienta muy bien a mi estómago, la cantidad de reverencias que le hacéis a los fervorosos me incomoda. ”

—Kabsal sobre la gente de Jah Keved

The Veden people are typically associated with pale skin and violet eyes. Although many Vedens, particularly in the south, look more like the Alethi people. These are generally tan with dark, typically black hair. Some Vedens are even darker skinned then the Alethi. Vedens are not a subtle people, brimming with passion and vice.

En las familias veden, los hijos tienen nombres formados por dos partes, siendo la última parte su nombre de pila, mientras que la anterior hace referencia al orden de nacimiento. Los primeros cuatro hijos se llaman Nan, Tet, Asha y Van. Si uno de los hijos muere o es desheredado, sus hermanos más jóvenes suben un nivel, por ejemplo, Tet Balat pasa a ser Nan Balat. Los numerales se usan principalmente en un contexto formal. Por ejemplo, cuando los hermanos hablan entre ellos, no los usan.

Siln and Bav

El pueblo siln vive en la ciudad sureña de Silnasen y sus alrededores. Se considera que son menos avanzados tecnológicamente que el resto del país, con una guerra altamente ritualizada. Su aparente independencia del gobierno veden puede deberse al hecho de que alguna vez fueron una ciudad-estado con soberanía propia.

El pueblo Bav vive en Bavlandia, una pequeña región en el extremo suroeste del país. En su mayoría son mineros, y tienen su propio idioma y cultura en gran medida separados de los veden, aunque siguen siendo vorin.

Unkalaki

Para más información sobre el pueblo Unkalaki, ver Unkalaki.

Los Unkalaki o Comecuernos, como son conocidos por los forasteros, viven en la cima de las montañas conocidas como Picos Comecuernos. Son uno de varios pueblos con ascendencia cantora, y tienen algunos atributos que los distinguen de otros humanos rosharianos, como su dentadura inusualmente fuerte (que es de donde proviene el mote de “Comecuernos”) y la habilidad de escuchar los Ritmos. El pelo rojo también es una característica típica de los Unkalaki, y es un indicativo de ascendencia comecuernos para alguien externo a los Picos.

Aunque de nombre los Picos Comecuernos son parte de Jah Keved, los Unkalaki tienen su propio idioma, sistema de creencias y gobierno, y no parecen considerarse a ellos mismos como ciudadanos veden. Sin embargo, los veden todavía reclaman el derecho a reclutar tropas de entre ellos en tiempos de guerra.

Caste system and Division between the Sexes

Like the other Vorin cultures, Veden culture is divided into two major castes, the lighteyes and darkeyes, separated by, as can be surmised, the color of a person's eyes. The lighteyes form the upper caste, with greater rights and privileges, while the darkeyes are the lower, working caste. Aside from that, each caste is subdivided into ten ranks, with the lighteyed ranks being called dahns, while the darkeyed ones are the nahns. The Veden monarch, for example, is the only person in the country holding the first dahn.

Much of Vorin culture, and by extension Veden culture, is based upon the book Arts and Majesty, which is a book that outlines what is proper for men and women. This book led to a division between, among others, the professions of men and women. Women are permitted to learn how to read and write, and expected to manage a household. Feminine arts include painting, reading, writing, and music. Daughters are also expected to help with the family finances. More confrontational positions, such as politics and militaristic positions, are considered masculine -- however, men are forbidden (or at least heavily discouraged) from learning the alphabet.

Marriage

Generally, marriages are arranged by the parents of the couple, or if the subjects are old enough, by themselves. If the family has many daughters, the women may court and decide on a suitor themself, but if this is not the case, a marriage will be arranged. When a Veden couple marries, the spouses retain their family names. The children of the couple all use the surname of only one parent; it's unclear whether it's always the father's, or if it depends on the parents' relative dahns. It is a custom to buy gifts for family members of the couple, with boys often getting weapons and women jewelry.

Fashion

Veden fashion varies between the castes, lighteyes and darkeyes. This divide is enforced by the religion of Vorinism, which is the state religion in Jah Keved.

Fashion designers in Liafor and Yezier have great influence on lighteyed fashion in Jah Keved, with much of Veden clothing being designed in these countries, based on Veden fashion trends with their own cultural flair. Despite this, the Vedens do still have their own traditional clothing.

Jah Keved and Alethkar have very similar fashion styles, enough so for Liafor to market to them using the same fashion folios.

Contemporary Male Fashion

Masculine fashion

Veden men often wear trousers and shirts that lace up the front. Most of the clothing made for lighteyes is made from silk, which comes from a plant that floats in the ocean. Beards are eschewed by the nobility, although this doesn’t stop some lighteyes from having them.

A piece of traditional men’s clothing is the ulatu, a knee-length skirt. They are generally worn with a simple shirt and a long robe or coat. Another common form of male clothing, typically worn by warriors, is the vakama. The takama is a form of long, pleated, calf-length skirt. The Vakama and Ulatu have similarities with the Alethi takama. Traditional Veden clothing is worn with a mink pelt.

Feminine fashion

Veden women wear a wide variety of clothing, including skirts and colourful blouses. A common form of clothing for the Veden lighteyes is the Vorin Havah. The Havah is formfitting through the bust, shoulders and waist, and has a flowing skirt; fitting with Vorin ideals, these Havah have a long left sleeve, hiding their safehand. These sleeves often have a pouch to store belongings known as a safepouch. Havah are often made of brightly coloured silk, which is thin enough to allow women to easily grip objects with their safehand, when necessary.

In the years around c.1173 the Alethi tan and hair color are seen as marks of true beauty. Lighteyed women often arrange their hair high in a complex series of braids secured by four steel spikes.

Darkeyed women tend to wear simpler clothing, and tend to wear gloves on their safehand rather than large sleeves. Wearing a glove on the safehand in this manner is seen as immodest and an inherent sign of lower class, and therefore is not typically practiced by lighteyes.

Languages

Para the Unkalaki language, ver Unkalaki#Language.

Jah keved is home to multiple languages, including Veden and Unkalaki. These two languages are very different. The Bav also have their own language, although it is unknown how much this languages differs from Veden and Unkalaki.

The Veden language belongs to the Vorin language family, and is close enough to that of the Alethi to be mutually intelligible for both sides. Many Vedens learn Alethi in their youth. The Unkalaki language is a part of the Dawnate language family, which means that although the vocabulary is distinctive, it shares similar grammar with the other Dawnate languages. When speaking Veden, or other Vorin languages like Alethi, the Unkalaki have a distinct accent. One feature of this Unkalaki 'accent' is a tendency to use gendered pronouns (e.g. "he") in places where a non-gendered pronoun ("it") would be more appropriate.

Games, Sports, and Entertainment

Festivals

The people of Jah Keved celebrate various fairs and festivals to celebrate special occasions. One such festival celebrated in Jah Keved is the Middlefest Fair, which celebrates the coming of the Midpeace.

Games

Due to Vorin precepts against predicting the future, Vedens avoids gambling and games involving random chance. Because of this their games tend to revolve around skill rather than chance. One popular game in Veden culture is Breakneck, which is often played in gambling dens. Many people in Bavland also wat h and bet on Shallowcrab fights.

Sports

The Vedens enjoy dueling. Classical ideals dictate that men should duel with swords and without shields. They also dictate that the men should use sweeping methods of fighting, which are said to be an imitation of fighting with a Shardblade.

Religion

Vorinism

Jah Keved is one of the five Vorin Kingdoms. The vast majority of Jah Keved is Vorin, with only the Unkalaki as a notable exception. The Vedens are far more religious than the average Vorin. The Veden version of Vorinism places a higher importance on the trappings of the faith, such as the safehand and the strict division between masculine and feminine arts. In particular, the Vedens are noted to be highly respectful and reverent of the ardents. They are also extremely traditional in the particulars of the Vorin doctrine. The centre of Vorin church, the Holy Enclave, is located in the Veden city of Valath. The Bav are also Vorin, although they are not as strict as the Vedens.

The Unkalaki religion

The Unkalaki have their own religion. Their religion is polytheistic, with a set of higher gods, like the gods of the waters, trees and mountains. Aside from these gods they also worship spren. The Unkalaki believe that underneath the regular water on the peaks is the Place of the Gods, which is likely Shadesmar. Despite having their own religion, the Unkalaki still receive Veden ardents who come to the Horneater Peaks to preach Vorinism.

Architecture

Manors and estates

Jah Keved has many isolated estates. These estates are generally made up of a manor, the residence for the lighteyed owners, a separate servants’ building, a guardhouse and a large garden. These estates of Jah Keved lack most of the more recent discoveries in architecture and engineering like storm cisterns. Generally, Veden architectural styles are very close to Alethi styles. A typical manor is built after the Veden ideal, tall and imposing. They are often built of square stone blocks and contain small windows, with the walls being dappled by dark lichen. Almost all of the manors have large dining halls for feasts, these halls have numerous tables, with the most important one called the high table.

Greenery

The Vedens love greenery, they decorate their gardens with cultivated vines and rows of shalebark. These plants are often cut and trimmed into shapes. The current architectural fashion includes having a number of rare plants placed in a jumble. Buildings often have plants draping them and falling from windows.

Economy

Currency

As with many other nations on Roshar, their economy is based upon glass spheres with cut polestones in their center, known simply as spheres. In the mint, they check sphere weights in order to see if they fell into the proper categories. The value of polestones, and thus the worth of sphere denominations in their economy, is based around the value of the substances a polestone can transmute another substance into.

Merchants and trading routes

The northern city of Northgrip is very important to Jah Keved’s economy. Many goods eventually pass through Northgrip. There are a lot of merchants that bring goods from Northgrip to the rest of the country. A lord who wishes to make use of the roads for trade needs to pay for the patrols and maintenance of said roads. This money is given back to the villages where the materials are harvested or made. Like in other Vorin countries, aside from Lighteyes, only darkeyes of the first and second Nahn can become merchants. These merchants often use Chulls for the transport of their goods. The chulls are harnessed and controlled with complex leather bridles. Lighteyes sometimes engage in trade deals with each other, hoping to get favour with lighteyes of a higher Dahn.

Foreign Trade

Many of the goods produced by the Vedens eventually goes abroad. The Vedens also import many things from abroad. Among the exported goods are rare and expensive floral dyes. Jah Keved has trade treaties in place with Alethkar, which allows the Vedens to trade for cheap.
