Azers are elementals native to the Elemental Plane of Fire and Elemental Chaos. Azers were created by fire titans and fire giants, whom they often serve. Others, however, live free and work for their own benefit.[1]

[edit] Ecology

[edit] Physical characteristics

Azers resemble their ancestors, dwarves, but with brass-colored skin and hair, their hair and beards being comprised of flames. Azer bodies are so hot that their weapons conduct heat, so much so that any creature within reach of an azer is injured by the intense heat.[1] Many azers wear kilts of brass, bronze, or copper.[2]

[edit] Culture

A typical male azer.

Azer society is best described as communal, as every individual has a place in society and matters of the state are more important than that of the individual. Living within fortresses made of bronze on the Elemental Plane of Fire, Azer nobles wield absolute power.

Despite loving gems and constantly waging war against the efreet, Azers never start a fight unless the foe is carrying gems and in which case they might take them prisoner.[citation needed]

[edit] Relations with other races

Azers are often slaves of fire giants and titans.[1] As for the other races, azers despise efreets, with whom they are often at war.[2]
