World Roshar

Babatharnam was a kingdom in western Roshar.[1] Its capital was Panatham, and people from Babatharnam were called Babath. Babath women had patterns of veins that sit shallowly beneath their skin, which some found unnerving.[2]

Geography

In the Silver Kingdoms era, Babatharnam was a part of Sela Tales.[3] Babatharnam bordered the Purelake, Yulay, Marabethia, and Rira.[1]

Politics and Culture

In Babatharnam, the older one was, the more authority one had.[2] 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 or exiled any person old enough to challenge them.[2] This has ensured that the Monavakahs have remained in power for fifty years. Sigzil had visited Babatharnam, and recalled that the nation has a great deal of unrest from the Monavakah Dynasty's assassinations.

The Babath were very particular to how one speaks and can be offended easily. Sigzil had managed to be imprisoned three times in Babatharnam, though he suspects the Babath were using any excuse to imprison a foreigner, as his master had a good deal of money.[2]

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.[2]
