Azimir

Azimir is the capital city of Azir, and the seat of the Prime Aqasix, the leader of the Azish Empire.
== Geography ==
Azimir is located in the southern part of the country, near the border with Tashikk and Emul. Its location is well-protected from highstorms. It is one of the larger cities on Roshar, with population exceeding that of Kholinar, and far greater population density.
== History ==
Azimir is one of the oldest cities on the planet. That it has its own Oathgate implies that it might've been the capital of Makabakam, the Silver Kingdom within whose lands it would've laid during the Heraldic Epochs.
In 1173, the city saw a string of assassinations as Szeth, under orders from Taravangian, assassinated Prime Aqasix after Prime Aqasix as they were being elected, leading to a succession crisis as prospective candidates grew too fearful to apply. At the same time, the city was visited by the herald Nale, who was hunting Lift for her Surgebinding. The meeting between them in the Bronze Palace led to Lift revealing her abilities and Gawx being elected the new Prime after she healed him. 
Following the Everstorm, the former Parshmen left the city, and attempted to sue the government for their back pay. While the negotiations took place, the Azish intended to destroy the city's Oathgate. However, those plans were abandoned after Dalinar Kholin convinced the Azish government to join his alliance and the Oathgate was unlocked by Lift for easy access to Urithiru, while the negotiations with the Singers broke down with the arrival of the Fused.
== Landmarks ==
;The Bronze Palace 
The Bronze Palace is the seat of the Azish government, and the home of the Prime Aqasix. Its name comes from it being mostly made out of bronze through Soulcasting. This includes not only its walls and spires, but also trees and decorations.
;The Grand Market 
The city's indoor shopping district, an enormous building covered by a bronze dome. It is located on top of the city's Oathgate platform. Upon learning of this fact, the Azish emptied it out and transformed it into a fort to protect against possible Alethi invastion, thinking that only the contents of the control chamber could be teleported.

Aztek Federation

The Aztek Federation is a nation on Earth located in South America.
It seems there may have been multiple Aztek nations but the federation is spoken of as a single entity.
== History ==
Back before European explorers started exploring North and South America, the Azteks were attacked by wild chalklings that came from North America, which tried to gain a foothold in South America. For an unknown period of time, the Azteks fought off the wild chalklings with an acid made from a local plant, and they sheltered refugees from the north.
The European explorers attempted to settle in South America, but were rebuffed. They headed for the Isles instead, but they were not warned about the chalklings by the Aztecs, who were generally reclusive and xenophobic at the time.
Some theorized that the Azteks built the Tower of Nebrask, but the Azteks refused to speak of Nebrask, and called it an abomination.
== Trivia ==
The sequel to The Rithmatist, The Aztlanian, will take place here.
== Notes ==
B. Sablerfils

B. Sablerfils is a playwright on Scadrial.
==History==
He composed the historical operetta A Hero for All Ages with Buissonommes, telling the story of Vin and Elend. The operetta played at Clarvonne's Theater in Elendel in . 
A Hero for All Ages was presumably successful, as Sablerfils mentioned it in an advertisement placed in The New Ascendancy later that year. Sablerfils was recruiting students for his "scientific fantasy" writing classes at the University of New Seran.
==Trivia==
*Sablerfils loosely translates from French to English as "Sanderson", and the character is a writer and teacher, much like Brandon Sanderson. Peter Ahlstrom has confirmed that Sablerfils is a cameo for Brandon that was inserted into the broadsheets by Isaac Stewart.
== Notes ==
Babatharnam

Babatharnam is a kingdom in western Roshar. Its capital, Panatham, contains an Oathgate, and people from Babatharnam are called Babath. 
== Geography and Ecology ==
Babatharnam borders the Purelake, Yulay, Marabethia, and Rira. Cities in Babatharnam include its capital of Panatham and Sween.
Babatharnam has two unnamed rivers running through it, and the border with Yulay is also an unnamed river.
Babatharnam has peculiar trees which, when a highstorm approaches, completely lay down, trunk and all, as if the tree was on a hinge. 
Babatharnam has an area of around 1,107,000 km2.
== History ==
During the Heraldic Epochs Babatharnam was part of the 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. Babatharnam was founded after Sela Tales collapsed. 
Around the year 1120, the Monavakah dynasty was established and began assassinating rivals to stay in power. This caused a great deal of unrest in the country.
During the initial months of the True Desolation, the Most Ancient of Babatharnam refused to cooperate with Dalinar Kholin. The nation was conquered by singer and Iriali forces shortly after the defection of Iri.
== Politics ==
Babatharnam is a gerontocracy, meaning the older one is, the more authority one has. Everyone has an opportunity to rule, if they live long enough. Anyone can become the Most Ancient--the Babath king. 
However, in practicality, during the present day, Babatharnam is ruled by the Monavakah Dynasty, which executes or exiles any person old enough to challenge them. This has ensured that the Monavakahs have remained in power for fifty years. Sigzil has visited Babatharnam, and recalled that the nation has a great deal of unrest from the Monavakah Dynasty's assassinations.
== People ==
As the Babath are ethnically Selay they probably have the Selay ripple patterns on their skin. The women are known to possess a complex pattern of veins sitting shallowly beneath their skin, which many foreigners find unnerving.
The Babath are human-Aimian hybrids, and thus are one of many ethnicities on Roshar known to have non-human ancestry.
=== Culture ===
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 master had a good deal of money.
The Babath probably have shards, as the Selay are known to have multiple sets.
The Babath people are known to eat snails.
== Trivia ==
* In terms of real world nations, it is slightly larger than the total area of Ethiopia.
== Notes ==
Babsk

Babsk (plural babsk) 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. 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.
* 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.
* Iyatil is Mraize's babsk and master. Both are members of the Ghostbloods.

Backbreaker powder

Backbreaker powder is a very strong poison used on Roshar during the Era of Solitude.
== Usage ==
Backbreaker powder is a very lethal, tasteless, white powder. Even breathing it in can be fatal. There is an antidote for the poison that is capable of counteracting all of its effects. A small amount of backbreaker powder is capable of killing the person that ingests it in mere seconds unless the antidote is taken.
When dusted over bread, backbreaker powder can be disguised as flour.
== History ==
In , Ardent Kabsal, a member of the Ghostbloods, tried to assassinate Princess Jasnah Kholin with backbreaker powder during her visit to the Palanaeum in Kharbranth to stop her from attaining her goals. He sprinkled it over Thaylen bread like flour and put the antidote in the jam, which he knew Jasnah disliked. For months, he visited Jasnah with a basket of bread and jam using the excuse of visiting for the company of her new ward, Shallan Davar. Each time he visited, he attempted to convince Jasnah to try the bread, putting emphasis on how different it was than the breads found in western Roshar and how light and fluffy it was. However, he only succeeded when visiting Shallan after she was hospitalized following her first Soulcasting, when Shallan herself convinced Jasnah to try the poisoned bread.
Jasnah was able to avoid ingesting the poison by Soulcasting the bread into smoke as she consumed it. She also attempted to use Soulcasting to replace the contents of the jam jar with identical jam, as an extra precaution to remove unknown ingredients. This inadvertently removed the antidote from the jam, and as Jasnah was unskilled in Soulcasting organic material, she created a rotten-smelling substance. Because the antidote was no longer in the jam, Kabsal's plan went awry; instead of Jasnah being poisoned by the bread, he and Shallan were. Kabsal attempted to remedy the situation by eating a large amount of the rotten jam, and he tried unsuccessfully to convince Shallan to eat some of it as well. Jasnah saved Shallan from the effects of the backbreaker powder by Soulcasting the contents of her veins into blood to remove the poison, but she was to late to help Kabsal, who died.
== Notes ==
Badali

Badali is a Stoneward on Roshar. He is an affable older man with a powdery beard and a cheerful expression.
When Navani's scholars found a room in Urithiru with no doors but a large exterior window, Badali used his powers to create an entrance and then guarded the location at least until Navani arrived.
==Trivia==
Badali's name is a reference to Badali Jewelry, which makes licensed cosmere jewelry, in addition to other fantasy properties. 
== Notes ==
Bahmen

Bahmen was an aide to Ashweather Cett during the Siege and Battle of Luthadel.
When Vin attacked Straff Venture's army with koloss, killing Straff in the process, Bahmen had advised that Cett could add his forces to either side, leading a decisive victory, instead of Cett's original plan, which was to wait for Vin and Straff's forces to destroy each other. That way, Cett could seize Luthadel for himself. In the end, both because of Bahmen and because Allrianne Cett rode to help Vin's forces, Cett came to assist Luthadel.
== Notes ==
Balsas

Balsas is a resident of Hearthstone on Roshar during the Era of Solitude.
In , Balsas, Horl, Luten and others tried to rob Lirin of the spheres he got from Brightlord Wistiow. Brightlord Roshone had convinced them that Lirin had stolen the spheres. Balsas and the others were caught by Lirin outside his home, where he confronted them, shaming them for their behavior. Despite the black mask that Balsas was wearing, Kaladin recognized him by the nice new coat he was wearing. Once they were caught by Lirin, Balsas and the rest left Lirin's home, ashamed.

Balubal Razon

Balubal Razon is an inventor on Earth.
== Appearance and Personality ==
He is abrasive, argumentative, and very protective when it comes to his equipment. His parents were both ethnically Filipino, but he is a second-generation American. He is both a scientist and a deeply religious Catholic. 
== History ==
He went to the University of Maine and received a PhD in physics, without honors. He invented a camera that could take pictures of the past. He convinced Azari Laboratories to fund the development of a prototype. After eighteen months, he finally developed a working prototype, which he promptly stole.
He took the camera to Israel to fulfill his goal: learning the truth about Christianity and the resurrection. He was kidnapped by Salic, a member of the terrorist organization Abu Sayyaf, who wanted to use the device to disprove Christianity, thus destabilizing the region. The terrorists originally pretended to be Christian fundamentalists to gain his trust, but imprisoned and tortured him after he discovered their true identities. He chose to die rather than give up the secrets of the camera.
== Notes ==
Bands of Mourning

The Bands of Mourning are the legendary Feruchemical bracers that were supposedly created by the Lord Ruler and could purportedly grant the wearer his powers. However, while they did grant all known Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities, they were not actually made by the Lord Ruler, and instead, the Sovereign was involved. "Bands of Mourning" is a misleading name, probably to prevent people from finding it; it is actually a spearhead. They are currently owned by the Malwish Consortium.
== Description ==
The Bands of Mourning are an oversized, spearhead shaped object made of all of the Allomantic metals. The different metals are interwoven into the Bands of Mourning in wavy patterns, not unlike the folds of a pattern welded blade. When first found, they stored more power than any other metalmind ever before seen.
They are a set of unkeyed and unsealed metalminds granting all Feruchemical and Allomantic abilities to their wielder.
This was possible because Nicrosil can be filled with Investiture, giving the tapper the ability to burn metals and tap or fill other metalminds. The amount of Investiture was such that Marasi actually saw the Mists emanating from her when she used it, and Wax believes that his abilities are like the strong Allomancy of old while he is using it.
== History ==
The Bands of Mourning were created by the Sovereign through unknown means at some point after the Catacendre, then hidden in the Sovereign's temple. The museum at the center of the Field of Rebirth has a replica of the Bands of Mourning, even before their rediscovery.
After being re-discovered and subsequently used by Marasi and Waxillium, they were handed over to the Kandra for safekeeping to prevent disagreement over ownership of the bands between the government of the Elendel Basin and the Malwish.
Six years later, the government of Elendel comes to an agreement with the Malwish ambassador, allowing them to try and use the Bands to stop an incoming bomb. After TenSoon hands over the Bands to the present representatives of the Elendel Basin, it is discovered that they had been completely drained of all powers, to the shock of everyone present. The Malwish ambassador reacts with outrage to this discovery, and demands to be handed the Bands as per their deal, as the attempt to stop the bomb was made and failed. After insinuating that the Elendel government may have used the Bands for their own purposes, he claims that Malwish scientists would be able to tell if the Bands handed to him were a fake, and leaves with them in hand.
== Trivia ==
Despite being incredibly powerful, it is not as heavily Invested as a Shardblade.

Barghest

A barghest is a type of creature that served the Black Bear in his war against the Weswarans that culminated in the battle of Badon. In Sefawynn's telling, the barghests "came forth out of shadow and flame to his call".
==Trivia and speculation==
In the folklore of real-world Britain, a barghest is a type of ghostly or supernatural dog. The barghests may therefore be the same as the Black Bear's "hounds" that "haunt the forests".
== Notes ==
Barl

Barl, along with several other men and women, including Wayne and Lessie help Wax keep the peace in Weathering and the surrounding areas, most of the time. Despite his profession, he is something of a miscreant.

Barlesha Lhan

Barlesha Lhan is the author of Topics on Roshar.
Lin Davar owned a full set of his books, which Shallan learned from. When she mentioned to Jasnah Kholin that she had studied them, Jasnah dismissed them, saying that they were not worth the time it took to write them.

Basin Bill

Basin Bill is a resident of New Seran on Scadrial. He owns an establishment called Basin Bill's Old Time Pub & Playhouse.
In , Bill placed an ad in The New Ascendancy broadsheet seeking adventurous people to join him in seeking lost cities of the Final Empire. Bill believed that hundreds of these cities survived the Final Ascension, and that anyone who found them could become rich and famous by salvaging magical artifacts and other valuable items. Interested parties were instructed to apply at Bill's pub.
By the year , Bill also operated an agency called Basin Bill Tours and advertised in The Two Seasons of Bilming offering trips to the Sovereign's temple.

== Notes ==
Basin Tires

==History==
At some point they hired Tobal Copper, a chemist specializing in manufacturing and rubber. They fired him for erratic behavior in the year . Tobal filed a lawsuit against them for refusing to listen to his discoveries about the end of the world. The lawsuit was dismissed before reaching the first stage of trial. During Tobal's employment there, he stole the occasional document, all of which added to reveal the Set's plan to build a bomb. In reality, it was a front for the Set, as underneath the building was an entrance to their underground lab and bunker complex. Marasi, TwinSoul, and Moonlight used the building to infiltrate the complex. It is unknown what happened to the business after the events surrounding the Set's defeat.
== Notes ==
Basin of the Veiled Sun

== Notes ==
Bastien Severington

Lord Bastien Severington is the mayor of Bilming in the Elendel Basin on Scadrial during the year .
==History==
===Pewternauts===
Bilming was an important port city, and Severington worked with Florin Malin to develop warships known as "Pewternauts" with armored hulls and gun turrets. The new ships were revealed in , and Severington invited a number of senators from Elendel to their introduction as a gesture of friendship, likely hoping to quell some rising bitterness between the two cities. However, one of the senators was later quoted in The New Ascendancy mocking the ships.
===Criticizing Elendel===
Later in , Kelesina Shores invited Severington to speak at her party in New Seran. Severington's speech focused on Elendel's "tyranny" and supposedly unfair taxation, going so far as to draw a comparison to the Lord Ruler. Severington used Sophi Tarcsel's amplification devices to give the speech, allowing Waxillium Ladrian to overhear parts of it despite being indisposed in another room. Wax realized that Bilming was important enough to spearhead anti-Elendel sentiment that could result in civil war.
