Jah Keved
A region mentioned as a target for political alliance in Oathbringer.
It mentions that after Shallan combines her Lightweaving with Dalinar's Bondsmith abilities to reveal the locations of ten Oathgates, Dalinar decides to focus his efforts on forming alliances in three specific regions: Jah Keved, Thaylenah, and Azir. The text does not describe the geography, culture, government structure, or internal history of Jah Keved itself, nor does it name any local rulers beyond the general context of the book's broader plot.
- Continent
- Roshar
Lore & Background
This decision comes after Shallan unknowingly summons an illusion of Roshar that reveals their positions. The text does not provide details on Jah Keved's internal politics, its capital city, or its specific cultural traits, as the narrative focus remains strictly on Dalinar's strategic decisions and the immediate reactions of other characters like Taravangian.
In Their Own Story
The source describes a moment where Shallan touches a map and combines her Lightweaving with Dalinar's Bondsmith abilities. This action reveals the location of ten Oathgates, prompting Dalinar to decide on focusing his diplomatic efforts on Jah Keved, Thaylenah, and Azir. No specific events occurring within Jah Keved are detailed in this section; the mention serves purely as a strategic target for the protagonist's next move against Odium.
Reader's Guide
The only information available regarding Jah Keved is its identification as a region where Dalinar Kholin intends to forge an alliance. This occurs after Shallan reveals the Oathgate locations using her Lightweaving and Dalinar's powers. Readers seeking details on the kingdom's rulers, cities, or specific conflicts within its borders will not find them in this text, which limits its scope to the strategic necessity of uniting Roshar against external threats.
