Babatharnam is a kingdom in western Roshar. Its capital was Panatham, and people from Babathernam are called Babath.

Geography

In the Silver Kingdoms era, Babatharnam was a part of Sela Tales. Babatharnam bordered the Purelake, Yulay, Marabethia, and Rira.

Politics and Culture

In Babatharnam, the older one was, the more authority one had. Everyone had an opportunity to rule, if they lived long enough. Anyone could become the Most Ancient--the Babath king.

However, in practicality, during the present day, Babatharnam was ruled by the Monavakah Dynasty, which executed any person old enough to challenge them. This has ensured that the Monavakahs have remained in power for fifty years.

Sigzil had visited Babatharnam, and recalls that the nation has a great deal of unrest from the Monavakah Dynasty's assassinations.

Flora and Fauna

Babatharnam had peculiar trees which, when a highstorm approaches, completely lays down, trunk and all, as if the tree was on a hinge.
