— Rysn discussing her babsk[1]

Babsk (plural babsk[1]) 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.[1] 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[edit]

  • 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.[1]
  • 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.[2]
  • Iyatil is Mraize's babsk and master. Both are members of the Ghostbloods.[3]
