Keves (Japanese: ケヴェス, Kevesu) is a nation of Aionios in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Future Redeemed.
Overview
Keves is locked in an endless war with Agnus. It is ruled by the Queen of Keves and its people are derived from the peoples of Bionis and Mechonis; although all are considered human, many of them show distinctly non-human traits such as the head wings of the High Entia or the mechanical features of the Machina. Nopon, such as Riku, are affiliated with Kevesi colonies and assigned to Off-seer squads, a practice shared with Agnus.
Like Agnus, it utilizes mobile fighting vehicles known as Levnises to bolster its troops, along with the much larger Ferronises which house the Flame Clocks assigned to each colony. Keves specializes in mechanical technology, with Kevesi soldiers utilizing power frames in order to match the strength of Agnian soldiers. Its colonies are overseen by Consuls. The Kevesi capital, Keves Castle, is the center of the nation's war effort. Melia Antiqua serves as the nation's Queen, although prior to the events of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 she was usurped by a Masked Queen robotic double to instead serve as a figurehead under Moebius.

Etymology
In Hebrew, Keves (כֶּ֫בֶשׂ) means "lamb", hinting at its nature as a "sacrificial lamb" for the Consuls and their hunger for life energy.
Trivia
- Kevesi Colonies use numbers as their names, similar to how the colonies in Xenoblade Chronicles were also numbered.
- The designs of Kevesi Ferronises and Levnises are based on Faced Mechon. Additionally, the colors used for the Kevesi Ferronis and the uniforms of Keves soldiers use the same black tones seen on Metal Face.
- The power frames used by Kevesi soldiers were designed after the power frame seen on Shulk's outfit in Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected.
- In Xenogears, a centuries long war between the nations of Kislev and Aveh bear similarities to the war between Keves and Agnus. In addition, humans who lived on the surface were known as 'Lambs'.
