The '''Silver Kingdoms''', or the '''Epoch Kingdoms''', are an ancient coalition of nations on the planet of [[Roshar]], dating back to the era of the [[Knights Radiant]].{{book ref|sa1|19}}{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}}
 
== Overview ==
The era when the Silver Kingdoms existed is called the '''Silver KingdomKingdoms Epoch''',{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}} 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 religion.{{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 a [[Desolation]].{{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}}
