AZER's TACTICS (read the article)

DESCRIPTION

The azer are a race of humanoid creatures that normally inhabit the Elemental Plane of Fire. Except under special circumstances, they are very rarely found on the Prime Material Plane.

In appearance they are much like dwarves, except that they have metallic, brass-colored skin and flames for hair. They wear only kilts or apronlike garments of beaten brass, copper, or bronze.

HABITAT / SOCIETY

Azer on their home plane are part of an extremely regimented society where every individual has his or her place. The azer civilization in general is heavily stratified, with law taking precedence over individual freedoms and even an individual's life.

Azer construct their outposts and cities as towers built from basalt, granite, or metal. There they dwell in small groups, using their plentiful complexes of flames to shape the stone.

They grow strange trees with metallic outer skins or barks, and the leaves of these trees are actually made entirely of metal in some cases, precious metals.

Azer are unfriendly and taciturn, and they lack compassion. They capture and interrogate intruders; particularly dangerous or violent prisoners are slain. They are greedy, particularly for gems that are a clear purple or red (rubies, amethysts, garnets, etc.). Once given, the word of an azer is a solid bond.

ECOLOGY

It is not known just what if anything azer eat. On their home plane, their only enemies are other intelligent fire dwelling creatures, and even then this enmity is not related to relative position on the food chain. The greatest of their enemies are the efreet, who sometimes fight wars of conquest against the azer, taking their territories and making slaves of them. The azer defend themselves and their towers with powerful, bellows-like air projectors and special containers used to pour elemental water on attackers.

Azer is employed as component to empower the following spells: *Find Familiar*

AMAIMON

Amaimon is the legendary king of the ager. He is the largest, strongest , and most intelligent of all azer. His powers are unknown.

NOBLES

Amaimon's nobles number from 8d4 and are only slightly weaker than their king. The noble azers' full powers are also unknown.

## Azer Acolyte

Azers are elemental warriors crafted from bronze native to the Elemental Plane of Fire. Whilst most azers are content with a life in the forges of their kingdoms, others turn to worship and oaths to fill their time.

These azers often worship the elements themselves, ancient primordials, or gods of the forge and fire. Azers who prove their devotion to their gods are imbued with divine magic, allowing them to cast spells and smite with wrathful force.

## Azer Artisan

An azer artisan, renowned for their skill with the hammer, toils away at their work in hot, smoke-filled smithies. While they aren't trained warriors, their strong arms and masterfully crafted weapons make them hard opponents to face when a creature gets on their bad side.

***Skills for Hire.*** If asked politely (with "politely" implying a large amount of money), an azer artisan might lend a buyer their skills. Capable of creating and enchanting weapons and armor, an azer artisan may be willing to create the item featured under "Master Crafted Weapons" in its statblock.

## Azer Lord

Tough and charismatic, an azer lord is intimidating beyond their small stature. As the leader of a city or similar establishment, they need to be a strong face for their people.

Also accomplished warriors and war leaders, azer lords lead their armies into battle when necessary. On the battlefield they lead from the front, inspiriting their men and felling the enemy.
