However, in practicality, during the present day, Babatharnam was ruled by the Monavakah Dynasty, which executed any person old enough to challenge them.{{ref|b|sa1|c|46}} This has ensured that the Monavakahs have remained in power for fifty years.▼
== History ==
During the [[Heraldic Epochs]] Babatharnam was part of the [[Silver kingdoms|Silver Kingdom]] [[Sela Tales]]. All the Silver Kingdoms had a specific purpose during peacetime, teaching the others their art during a desolation so the Babath, among others, were experts in an art. After Sela Tales collapsed Babatharnam was founded.{{cite}}

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}}
As the Babath are ethnically [[Sela Tales|Selay]]{{book ref|sa3|i|1}}{{map ref|Roshar}} they probably have the Selay ripple patterns on their skin.{{book ref|sa1|52}}
The Babath probably have shards, as the Selay are known to have multiple sets.{{book ref|sa1|23}}
