Geografía

por Isaac Stewart

Jah Keved en el mapamundi roshariano

Localizado en el este de Roshar, Jah Keved es la segunda nación más grande del planeta, con más de cinco millones y medio de kilómetros cuadrados de terreno.[2] 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.

Historia

por Isaac Stewart

La antiguaVedenar

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 la gran mayoría de las tierras de Valhav, incluyendo la que era presuntamente su capital, Vedenar, junto con su Puerta Jurada.

Durante mucho tiempo, Jah Keved fue el país más grande de Roshar. Después de que Gavilar Kholin unificara Alezkar en un sólo estado, los veden lucharon una serie de pequeñas guerras fronterizas contra los alezi, intentando poner a prueba sus defensas. Aunque finalmente fueron rechazados por las fuerzas dirigidas por Dalinar Kholin, los pequeños conflictos entre los altos príncipes alezi y veden continuaron durante muchos años. No obstante, el país siguió siendo el principal oasis de estabilidad de la región.

Sin embargo, esto cambió en el año 1173, cuando Szeth asesinó al rey veden, Hanavanar, junto con cierto número de altos príncipes. 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 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.

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 Alethkar 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.

Politics

Government

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 owe fealty to a group of Highprinces, who in turn owe fealty to a king. Prior to the civil war, known Veden Highprinces were Valam, Abrial, Boriar, Evinor and Jal Mala.

Over the year 1173, most of the country's political structures have either fallen into chaos or outright disintegrated. Opening with the death of the then-king Hanavanar at the hands of the Assassin in White, the ensuing civil war has claimed the lives of all the Veden Highprinces, either through assassination or open warfare. The nominal victor of the war, Valam, passed the Veden crown to king Taravangian of Kharbranth, who has a claim to the throne through his mother.

Following the civil war, Taravangian appointed two new highprinces to replace the ones lost. The two men are brothers, the elder of which is named Nan Urian.

International relations

As the largest country prior to the unification of Alethkar, Jah Keved has strong influence on the culture of other Vorin states. The centre of Vorin church, the Holy Enclave, is located in the Veden city of Valath. Valath is also the location of one of Roshar's major spanreed hubs, adding to the city's importance.

In the decades prior to the True Desolation, Jah Keved fought a number of small border wars against Alethkar. Though they were initially pushed back out of Alethi territory by forces led by Dalinar Kholin, the skirmishes and battles between Veden and Alethi highprinces continued for over a decade. Despite that, the two kingdoms appear to have good diplomatic relations, and a marriage between their lighteyes isn't seen as anything out of the ordinary.

Military

“ We talk of Jah Keved's weakness, but that’s relative. They still have a huge standing army, strong fortifications. If the enemy wades into Jah Keved now, while solidifying their own power, it will drain their resources and stall their conquest. ”

— Dalinar Kholin on the Veden military

Though not as militaristic as their eastern neighbors, Jah Keved is thought to possess the most Shards of any country other than Alethkar, including about twenty Shardblades.

Prior to the civil war, each Veden highprince maintained their own military. However, it appears that following Taravangian's crowning, the surviving units have all been folded under his command. As the last battle was fought over Vedenar, most of Veden troops are stationed in storm bunkers at the city's outskirts. The civil war was catastrophic for them - many units suffered over 50% casualties - yet even with those losses the Veden military boasts an enormous number of soldiers and powerful 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.

Jah Keved is known for their 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. Their generals are noted to be excellent, even by Alethi standards.

A major focus of the Veden strategy is the defense of the strip of land between Horneater Peaks and Alethkar. Though narrow and underpopulated, it's a verdant, rich land that can be used as a staging area for any invasion of Jah Keved.

Following the fall of central and northern Alethkar to the Voidbringers, large number of Alethi soldiers withdrew to either Jah Keved or Herdaz in hopes of escaping the flying Fused.

Culture

por Dan dos Santos

Veden man wearing the latest fashion

Jah Keved is comprised of at least four distinct ethnic groups - Veden, Siln, Bav and Unkalaki.

Veden

“While your food sits well in my stomach, the amount of bowing and scraping you show ardents made me uncomfortable. ”

—Kabsal on the people of Jah Keved

The Veden people are typically associated with pale skin and violet eyes. Their language belongs to the Vorin family, and is close enough to that of Alethkar to be mutually intelligible for both sides. The Alethi are also close to Vedens in fashion.

The Veden are by and large Vorin, worshipping the Almighty and the Heralds. They appear to be more religious than average Vorins, with higher importance being placed on the trappings of the faith, such as the safehand and the strict division between masculine and feminine arts. In particular, they are noted to be highly respectful and reverent of the ardents, and extremely traditional in the particulars of the doctrine.

In Veden families, the sons have two-part names, with the latter part being their given name, while the former references their order or birth. The first four sons are called Nan, Tet, Asha and Van. Should one of the sons die or be disinherited, his younger brothers all move up a level; for example, Tet Balat becomes Nan Balat. The numerals are used mainly in formal context; siblings usually drop them when talking among themselves.

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.

Siln and Bav

The Siln people live in and around the southern city of Silnasen. They are noted as being less technologically advanced than the rest of the country, with highly ritualized warfare. Their apparent independence from Veden rule may stem from the fact that they were once a sovereign city-state.

The Bav people live in Bavland, a small region in the south-western corner of the country. They are mostly miners, and have their own language and culture largely separate from that of the Veden.

Unkalaki

Para more information on the Unkalaki people, ver Unkalaki.

The Unkalaki - or Horneaters, as they are called by outsiders - live on top of the mountains known as Horneater Peaks. They are one of several peoples with Singer ancestry, and have some attributes that set them apart from other Rosharan humans, such as their unusually strong teeth (which is where the "Horneater" nickname comes from) and the ability to occasionally hear the Rhythms. Red hair is also a typically Unkalaki feature, and are a mark of Horneater ancestry on a person from outside the Peaks.

Though the Horneater Peaks are nominally part of Jah Keved, the Unkalaki have their own language, system of beliefs and government, and don't seem to see themselves as Veden citizens. However, the Veden still claim the right to levy troops from among them in times of war.
