'''Bavland''' was a small mining region in the nation of [[Jah Keved]] on [[Roshar]]. It was located on the north-eastern tip of a centrally located mountain range and is quoted in the book as a mostly ignored stretch of land just south of the [[Horneater Peaks]]. Even the [[Veden]] [[highprince]] who had jurisdiction over the land stayed out of the area.{{book ref|wok|i|3}}
One such mining town in Bavland is [[Ironsway]], probably named for the ore mined there. It consists of several hundred homes and 3 taverns, making it one of the largest, if not ''the'' largest town, in Bavland.{{book ref|wok|i|3}} Due to all the mines, or perhaps the geological makeup of the area, Bavland is extremely dusty and could be why it is mostly ignored by the highprince of Jah Keved.
Though located in Jah Keved, Bavland has gained such independence from Jah Keved that it has it's own language, with several different dialects. "Kurp" is a word from the Bav language, and is a term for "child" in Ironsway's dialect. "Dustmother", a term that refers to [[Chemoarish]]{{epigraph ref|sa3|93}}, is used in the Bav language as a curse.{{book ref|sa1|i|3}} However, Chemoarish is sometimes mistakenly conflated with the [[Nightwatcher]]. It is not known which being the curse is intended to refer to.
