## Azer

*He stroked his chin, ignoring the flames that licked between his fingers, bronze fingers ringing against against his jaw. He, or it, was contemplating my offer. I made sure all the terms were laid out, and they made sure I knew what would happen if there were any hidden surprises.*

*---Godwin Planewalker, Negotiating With Citizens of Other Planes.*

Pillars of flame and pools of lava are common sights to an Azer, with tunnels of earth bringing just as much of an image of home. Made of metal and run on fire, the azer is an immortal race who is slow to change, and only when a new one is born does innovation usually take place. However, when an azer leaves its home plane, its natural flame slightly weakens, sacrificing its immunity to magical flames.

### Made, Not Born
Azer don't reproduce. They are each crafted from bronze by another azer and imbued with a portion of the crafter's inner flame. Each azer is sculpted with unique features. This crafting process limits the growth of the azer population and is the primary reason that these creatures remain rare.

### Craftsmen
Azers are masterful
artisans, and create beautiful works frpm the gems and
precious metals found in their volcanic habitat. They
rate the value of such treasures above all other things,
sometimes dispatching parties across the planes to seek
out rare metals and gemstones.
When azers are called by magic to the Material Plane,
it is typically to help forge an elaborate magic item or
work of art, for it is said that their skill in such craft
knows no equal.

### Betrayal
Long ago, the efreet and
the azers were allies. Azers helped create the City of
Brass, forging that home of the efreet into one of the
most wondrous places in creation. When the azers had
finished their work, the efreet betrayed them, making
a failed attempt to enslave the azers so as to protect
the secrets of the city. Despite occasional raids and
skirmishes, however, the two sides have so far refrained
from all-out conflict. The azers believe that only the
threat of them revealing the hidden ways into the City of
Brass keeps the efreet in check.

### Volcanic Dwellers
Azers dwell in a kingdom on the border between the Elemental Plane of Earth and Fire- a range of mountains and volcanoes whoes spires rise as a series of fortresses. Beneath mountain peaks, under volcanic calderas, and amid rivers of magma, azers extract gleaming metals and glittering gems from the earth. Squads of azer patrol the passes and tunnels of their realm, fending off the salamander raiders whose efreet masters order strikes against the azer kingdom.
