Export

Azers were elemental creatures native to the Elemental Plane of Fire and Elemental Chaos.

Description

Azers bore a resemblance to dwarves, but with brass-colored skin and hair, their hair and beards composed of flames. Azer bodies were so hot that their weapons conducted heat, so much so that any creature within reach of an azer was injured by the intense heat. Many azers wore kilts and apron-like garments made from beaten brass, bronze, or copper.

Combat

Azer often wielded broad-bladed javelins and mallet-like weaponry in combat.  

Society

Azer society was best described as communal, as every individual had a place in society and matters of the state were more important than that of the individual. Living within fortresses made of bronze on the Elemental Plane of Fire, azer nobles wielded absolute power. Their outposts and cities were typically complexes of tower built from basalt, granite, or metal. Within these cities they grew strange trees with metallic bark and leaves.

Despite loving gems and constantly waging war against the efreet, Azers never started a fight unless the foe was carrying gems and in which case they might take them prisoner.

Relationships

Azers were often slaves of fire giants and titans. As for the other races, azers despised efreet, with whom they were often at war. They maintained good relations with the yak folk found on the planes. 

History

The azers had once been allies of the efreet, and even helped build the City of Brass. When construction was finished, the efreet betrayed the azers, trying to enslave them to prevent their knowledge of the city's secrets from spreading. Since then, the fact that the azers knew secret ways into the city had prevented the efreet from unleashing an all-out conflict, so that only skirmishes between them happened.
