Altaban in the east of the Bakshevan Empire. (AlraM)
Modern capital of the Bakshevan Empire, and home to its Emperor, or "Parech". The Parech must have relocated the capital here from Gorimon after the Drought and its fall. Known for its extremely tall towers, as mentioned in Travels in the Northlands.
The Alatien tell the tale of a stubborn mule from Altaban. This may be a reference to the Biblical tale of Balaam's ass and the Angel (Num. 21-34).
