{{quote|The Marabethians have a saying for those who refuse to see the truth of a situation. 'You have eyes of red and blue', they say. Red for blood dripping. Blue for the water. It is said that these two things are all the [criminals] see. Usually they are attacked within one day. And yet, most still wish to take that chance. They prefer the false hope|[[Sigzil]] on Marabethian criminal policy<sup>{{book link|sa1|40|text=[WoK:40]}}</sup>|}}

'''Marabethia''' is a nation on [[Roshar]] occupying the [[wikipedia:isthmus|isthmus]] separating the [[Purelake]] from the [[Reshi Sea]].<sup>[[:file:{{map|Roshar}}|<nowiki>[Roshar#map]</nowiki>]]</sup> It is in the north, in Selay lands beside the sea. 

The Marabethian people are known to have a great fondness for debate; the city has many pedestals at intersections where men can stand and proclaim his arguments. The residents are known to carry around overripe fruit for discouraging those they disagree with.<sup>{{book link|sa1|40|text=[sa1:40]}} 

To punish serious crimes, they dangle the perpetrator over a seaside cliff near the city, during a high tide with a cut in each cheek, as bait for the [[yu-nerig]] that live there.<sup>{{book link|sa2|49|text=[WoK chapter 40]}}</sup> If the criminal survives for a week, they are set free.<sup>{{book link|sa1|40|text=sa1:40}}</sup> The criminals that hang there are usually attacked within a day. A criminal can demand execution instead but almost every prisoner chooses to be hung over the sea, because they prefer false hope to certain death.

[[Sigzil]] told [[Kaladin]] of Marabethia, because he felt that Kaladin was filling the heads of the bridgemen with false hope.<sup>{{book link|sa1|40|text=WoK#40}}</sup>

[[Lift]] has been to Marabethia, though she left and travelled to [[Azir]].<sup>{{book link|sa2|i|9|text=sa2#i-9}}</sup>
