Diferencia entre revisiones de «Jah Keved»

A pesar de que el rey Taravangian se comprometió con [[Odium]], Jah Keved no era parte del trato.{{book ref|sa3|122}} 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.{{book ref|sa4|i|3}} {{book ref|sa4|i|6}}

 

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 [[Alto príncipe|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]].

Even though Jah Keved has a monarchy, it is divided into a number of princedoms, each ruled by a [[lighteyes|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.{{book ref|sa3|100}}

The princedoms contain many isolated estates.{{book ref|sa2|27}} The brightlords of these estates have their own vassals, who rule hamlets or possess no land.{{book ref|sa2|39}} The brightlords who rule settlements are called citylords.{{book ref|sa1|6}} While these lords are sworn to a highprince, they mostly rule independently and will only answer to greater authority when called upon.{{book ref|sa2|27}}

==== Highprinces ====

The rulers of these Veden princedoms are called [[highprince]]s. They essentially function as the leaders of sovereign nations, rather then just heads of administrative districts.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} The Veden highprinces take the second [[dahn]].{{wob ref|4006}}

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]].{{book ref|sa3|107}}

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.{{book ref|sa1|29}} The Veden monarch can also appoint new highprinces.{{{book ref|sa3|107}}

 

==== 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.{{book ref|sa1|16}}{{book ref|sa3|52}} These wars tended to be fought between the individual highprinces of the nations,{{book ref|sa1|16}} although the Veden king Hanavanar took interest in the conflicts and ordered a small invasion to test the Alethi defenses around the year 1155.{{book ref|sa3|66}}

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.{{book ref|sa2|1}} The Vedens also have extensive trade treaties in place, which allow them to trade with the Alethi for cheap.{{book ref|sa3|66}}
