'''Steen'''
==Geography==
During the [[Silver Kingdoms]] era, it was part of [[Makabakam]]. ▼
Steen has an area of around 156,000 km<sup>2</sup>, making it one of the smallest Rosharan nations, larger than only [[Alm]], [[Bavland]], and [[Tu Fallia]].{{url ref|url=https://www.17thshard.com/forum/blogs/entry/634-roshar-physical-characteristics-and-areas/|text=Roshar Physical Characteristics And Areas|site=17th Shard}}. In comparison to real world nations, area is very close to the land area of Suriname.
It is situated on the southwestern coast of Roshar, and is surrounded on three sides by the [[Aimian Sea]] and the [[Southern Depths]]. It shares a border only with [[Liafor]].{{map ref|Roshar}}
== Politics ==
Steen is probably ruled by a group of merchants known as the ‘Merchant Lords’.{{book ref|sa3|73}}
== Culture ==
The people from Steen wear their beards wrapped in cords - a fashion that has been shown elsewhere in Roshar and the cosmere.{{book ref|sa1|3}}{{book ref|wb|9}} Later, [[Nikli]] comments that 'ordinary people' in Aimia (i.e. not the [[Sleepless]]) wore their beards in the peculiar cord-like style of Steen.{{book ref|sa3.5|9}}

[[Noura]] describes them as a tricky bunch.
== History ==
▲During the [[Silver Kingdoms]] era, it was part of [[Makabakam]].{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}}

[[Noura]] hints that they shouldn't be invited to the [[Urithiru]] talks along with the other [[Makabak]] representatives.{{book ref|sa3|65}}
Just before the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], a report from [[Steen]] relayed to a meeting in [[Urithiru]] confirms that the early [[Everstorm]] reported by [[Shinovar]] has passed and also mentions that it is faster and more violent than previous storms. This comes just before the other revelations about the [[Eila Stele]] and the first [[Voidbringer]]s.{{book ref|sa3|111}}
Prior to the voyage of the ''Wandersail'' to [[Aimia]], [[Lopen]] indicates that men from Steen were present in [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa3.5|3}}
[[Beard]] tells a tale about him swimming across a vat of dyes when in service to the Steen merchant lords.{{book ref|sa3|73}}
