'''Babylon Restored''', often referred to as '''Babilar''' a simplification of "Babyl-R"{{17s ref|post|212998|Peter confirming the names contraction|date=8 Jan 2015}}, is the name given to New York City after its streets are flooded by the [[Epic]] [[Regalia]], its current ruler.{{book ref|Firefight|5}}The water floods so high you can see only the supports of bridges, even though they were once over a hundred feet tall.

The ruler of the city is an epicEpic named Regalia, who has the power to move, see out of, and create projections from water. She is terminally ill and uses her projections to rule the city. Her lower epicsEpics include [[Obliteration]] and [[Newton]]. Unlike [[Steelheart (Epic)|Steelheart]], Regalia does not rely on oppression and fear to rule her populace. The majority of the citizens live a carefree life of relaxation, partying, and eating, believing that one can do nothing about epicsthe Epics, so just let them have their way. [[David Charleston]] has trouble accepting this doctrine.

People travel through the city on boats and on suspended bridges between the tops of buildings and boats.

Due to the influence of [[Dawnslight]], spraypaintspray paint glows in Babilar. Radios are powered without batteries and fruit grows in buildings.

It was almost destroyed when Regalia died, becausewhen the water drew back and the supports of the buildings were exposed, but miraculously, it was not damaged because the thick roots and vines of the plants were so thick and strong.
