Azer: Born of Magma and Brass

Lore

Created by the fire giants of the Dominion of Ashod, given free will just to be enslaved, these are the dwarves of fire and brass. Azers resemble male dwarves except for their brass colored skin, and hair and beard of flames, which billow upwards as fire does. This flame comes from their inner fire housed in their insulated bodies, making them like a walking furnace. Azers usually wear fireproof kilts wrought of bronze, copper, or brass, only covering their chests in times of battle. Their eyes are depicted often to be a glowing metallic color and they are very stocky.

Azer Dwarves are predominantly from the Dominion of Ashod, where they were created, or from the Emirate of Seytanlar. Be it as slaves or independent people, the Azer have a love for the craftmanship of metals and all things that can tolerate the heat of their existence. Whilst in Ashod they might prefer to make weapons and armors from the rivers of molten brass, in Seytanlar they are fond of the works of glass and gemstones.

Azer Names:

Names for Azer dwarves often derive from pre testament jewish names, such as Samael, Nathaniel, and Ramiel. All Azer have been made to resemble male dwarves, though they reproduce by building more of themselves out of ashodite brass and the right incantations and rituals.
