Babran

Babran (Elw: Баброн, Babron) is an Elwynnese bailiwick and city in the Ardashirshahr metropolitan area. Bordering Ardashirshahr and Eskenderiyebandar in the north, Qajar in the south, and Majid-e Aik in the east, Babran is situated on the west bank of the Blue Elwynn. Its population is 1,821,214 (1680), of which 68% speak Babkhi and 14% Elw as their native languages. Babkhi is the only official language of the bailiwick.

It is the site of a rather controversial memorial to Kaspar Soleiman raised by die-hard supporters of the Emirate of Sathrati during Kaspar's tenure as emir. The memorial has since become a curiosity, as with time, people have moved on from Kaspar's treachery. Since the reign of Adam al-Osman the reputation of Kaspar has undergone something of a rehabilitation - with him being considered to have been "the last man to enter the Senate with honest intentions". As of 1704 AN it has become the fashion to "dress" the Kaspar Monument with the corpses of criminals and heretics executed by the magister assigned to the bailiwick. The remains of up to five hundred democracy activists have also been staked out around the monument in a macabre tableau as a warning to all those who would wish to replace the status quo that came into being after the Second Elwynnese Civil War with a constitutional or democratic form of government.
