'''Babsk''' (plural ''babsk''{{book ref|twoksa1|i|4}}) is a term for a teacher or master in [[Thaylenah]]. Legally, a babsk is father to their apprentices as long as the apprenticeship lasts. Their apprentices follow them around, assisting them with their trade, and learning from them. [[Vstim]], [[Rysn]]'s babsk, is kind to her and wants to teach her how to be a good merchant, but not all babsk are, and this may not be common behavior.{{book ref|twoksa1|i|4}} Rysn's full name appears to be Rysn Ftori bah-Vstim; it is unclear whether this is a personal sign of respect or if all Thaylen apprentice merchants append their babsk's name.
 
== Known Babsk ==
* Vstim is Rysn's babsk and takes her to places all around the world, such as [[Shinovar]] and the [[Reshi Isles]], in order for her to learn to trade.{{book ref|twoksa1|i|4}}
* Vstim is also [[Talik]]'s babsk before he is Rysn's; Talik attains the title of trademaster with him before moving to the Reshi Isles.{{book ref|sa2|i|3}}
* [[Mraize]] has a babsk{{book ref|sa3|i|8}} and [[Iyatil]] refers to him as her student,{{book ref|sa2|63}} so she may be his babsk.
