Stormwardens in both Vedenar and Kholinar have concluded that storm water provides more nourishment to plants than lake or river water, which Kaladin thinks is a redundant conclusion.

Terxim mentions dining in Veden City before travelling to Kholinar via Urithiru, and presumably the oathgates.

Dunny mentions that Sigzil thinks he is originally from Jah Keved, and Rock suggests they might be cousins due to the proximity between Vedenar and the Horneater Peaks.

Jasnah tells Shallan to seek out the Devotion of Sincerity, saying that tho there is none in Kharbranth, there is some in Vedenar.

Tyn relays to Shallan that it is difficult to get information out of Vedenar after the assassination of king Hanavanar, his son and six of the other Highprinces. According to Tyn's sources, Highprince Valam's forces were preparing to seize the city.

Redin once visited Davar manor to solicit evidence about Shallan's mother's death and mentioned that there would always be willing ears in Vedenar to anyone who wanted to bring evidence.

Revilar gloats to Lin Davar about being invited to visit the highprince in Vedenar regularly.

Balat Davar confesses that he would willingly move to Vedenar and live as tenth dahn to live with Eylita Tavinar to escape their fathers oppression. Shallan suggests he leave while their father is visiting Vedenar later in the month. Later Balat plans to use the cover of visiting some eastern villages to escape to Vedenar.

After the conclusion of the Veden civil war, Taravangian visits the city and observes that it has been reduced to a 'heap of rubble and ash'.
