'''Babatharnam''' is a kingdom in western [[Roshar]].{{map ref|Roshar}} Its capital is, [[Panatham]], contains an [[Oathgate]],{{book ref|sa3|8}} and people from Babatharnam are called Babath. Babath women have patterns of veins that sit shallowly beneath their skin, which some non-natives find unnerving.{{book ref|sa1|46}}
 
== Geography ==
In the [[Silver Kingdoms]] era, Babatharnam was a part of [[Sela Tales]].{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}} Babatharnam borders the [[Purelake]], [[Yulay]], [[Marabethia]], and [[Rira (country)|Rira]].{{map ref|Roshar}}
 
Babatharnam has peculiar trees which, when a [[highstorm]] approaches, completely lay down, trunk and all, as if the tree was on a hinge.{{book ref|sa1|46}} The Babath are human-[[aimian]] hybrids.{{wob ref|457}}
== Politics and Culture ==
In Babatharnam, the older one is, the more authority one has.{{book ref|sa1|46}} Everyone has an opportunity to rule, if they live long enough. Anyone can become the Most Ancient--the Babath king.
 
== History ==
However, in practicality, during the present day, Babatharnam is ruled by the '''Monavakah Dynasty''', which executes or exiles any person old enough to challenge them.{{book ref|sa1|46}} This has ensured that the Monavakahs have remained in power for fifty years. [[Sigzil]] has visited Babatharnam, and recalled that the nation has a great deal of unrest from the Monavakah Dynasty's assassinations.
During the initial months of the [[True Desolation]], the Most Ancient of Babatharnam refused to cooperate with [[Dalinar Kholin]].{{book ref|sa3|24}} The nation was conquered by [[singer]] forces shortly after the capitulation of Iri.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
 
== Politics and Culture ==
The Babath are very particular to how one speaks and can be offended easily. Sigzil has managed to be imprisoned three times in Babatharnam, though he suspects the Babath use any excuse to imprison a foreigner, as his [[Hoid|master]] had a good deal of money.{{book ref|sa1|46}}
