[edit] Physical Description
An azer resembles a dwarf with brass-colored skin, and hair and beard of flames[original research?]. They are often seen wearing kilts of bronze, copper, or brass. Their bodies are so hot that their weapons conduct this heat. Azers love gems, and constantly wage war against efreeti.
Despite all this, azers never start a fight unless the foe is carrying gems, and may take a foe prisoner.
[edit] Society
Azer society is best described as collectivist, as every individual has a place in society, and matters of the state are more important than that of the individual. Azers live within fortresses made of bronze on the Elemental Plane of Fire, and nobles wield absolute power.
Azers are always lawful neutral.
