'''Makabakam''' was the largest of the historic [[Silver Kingdoms]] of [[Roshar]].{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}}
== Geography ==
Makabakam took up most of the south-western part of the [[Roshar]]an continent. It shared most of its long northern border with [[Sela Tales]], while in the west, it bordered [[Shin Kak Nish]] (modern [[Shinovar]]) on the [[Misted Mountains]] and to the east, it had a short border with [[Valhav]]. To the south, the country lay on the coast of the [[Aimian Sea]] and [[Southern Depths]], and controlled a number of islands dividing those two.{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}}
The city of [[Urithiru]], the home of the [[Knights Radiant]], was located within Makabakam borders, but it is unlikely it was actually subject to Makabaki rule.{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}}{{map ref|Roshar}} The ancient capital of Makabakam was likely the city currently known as [[Azimir]], as it is there that the state's [[Oathgate]] is located.{{book ref|sa3|8}}
In the modern era, Makabakam has split into a number of countries, including [[Alm]], [[Azir]], [[Desh]], [[Emul]], [[Greater Hexi]], [[Liafor]], [[Marat]], [[Steen]], [[Tashikk]], [[Tu Fallia]], [[Tukar]], [[Yezier]], and [[Triax]] (although Triax lays partly on lands that used to belong to Valhav).{{map ref|Roshar}}
== Culture ==
The people of Makabakam ancestry are called the Makabaki. They can be recognized by having far darker skin than most Rosharans, although they still have epicanthic folds.{{wob ref|4079}}{{file ref|Azish Public Servant Designs.jpeg}} There are approximately thirty Makabaki languages, with Azish being the most commonly spoken.{{wob ref|3977}} The Makabaki worship the Heralds not the Almighty.{{book ref|sa4|101}}
In the present day, the region once occupied by Makabakam is called [[Makabak]].
