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}} |

Most, like [[Makabakam]], have splintered into a number of smaller states, while [[Natanatan]] has fallen completely, having been reduced to a small number of stateless settlements and a lone city-state of [[New Natanan]]. However, the modern cultural, ethnic and linguistic make-up of Roshar still reflects that of those ancient kingdoms, and many current borders lay along similar lines to those of old.{{map ref|Roshar}} |
