The '''Silver Kingdoms''', or the '''Epoch Kingdoms''', are an ancient
== Overview ==
The Silver Kingdoms are{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}}:▼
The era when the Silver Kingdoms existed is called the '''Silver Kingdom Epoch''', or the '''Heraldic Epochs'''. There were ten kingdoms, each of which had a perfectly palindromic name - a reflection of the holiness of symmetry that can be found in [[Vorinism]]. However, it's more than likely that those names predate the rise of Vorin religon.{{book ref|sa1|19}}
Each country had its own purpose within the war against the [[Voidbringer]]s, likely preordained by the [[Herald]]s - for example, [[Alethela]] was the "protector state", set up to preserve the arts of war and train people in case of an [[Everstorm]].{{book ref|sa1|19}} All ten states had their own [[Oathgate]]s within their capital cities, connecting them to the Knight Radiant tower city of [[Urithiru]].{{file ref|Oathgate Locations.jpg}} Within Urithiru, each of the states is said to have had a throne set up for its ruler.{{book ref|sa1|45}}
In the modern era, most of the Silver Kingdoms no longer exist, with [[Shin Kak Nish]] (now called [[Shinovar]]) and [[Aimia]] being the only exceptions (although the [[Scouring of Aimia]] makes its current status unclear). Most, like [[Makabakam]], have splintered into a number of smaller states, while [[Natanatan]] has fallen completely, having been reduced to a small number of stateless settlements and a lone city-state of [[New Natanan]]. However, the modern cultural, ethnic and linguistic make-up of Roshar still reflects that of those ancient kingdoms, and many current borders lay along similar lines to those of old.{{map ref|Roshar}}
