Crest of Lord Azzur

Port BlacksandEdit



Azzur is served by a select band of trusted people, who have been taken from their homes at a young age never to return. They are trained to be loyal to Azzur above all else and may never leave the palace. Only the most trusted servants, for example the coachman and the head of the kitchens are allowed contact with the outside world. Azzur himself rarely speaks to an outsider directly except when speaking in anger. His servants include the Mouth, the Eyes, and the Ears, all of whom participated in the torture of Fazilus Astra, a powerful wizard.[3]

Lord Azzur TodayEdit


Knowledge of AzzurEdit



It is revealed in The Port of Peril that Lord Varek Azzur swore fealty to the Night Prince Zanbar Bone, being described as his "most faithful servant" by the failed treasure hunter Gurnard Jaggle.[6] He conspires with the Spirit Stalkers to force the stonemason Horace Wolff to carve a cursed keystone that could revive their lord, by holding his wife Luannah Wolff hostage in his palace jail.[7] He also sent the Chaos Warrior named Klash to steal the magical Ring of Burning Snakes and capture Zanbar Bone's hated rival, the Legendary Mage Arakor Nicodemus to be jailed and executed.[8]

In, The Gates of Death, it is revealed that Azzur has plans for Allansia as a whole, which the demon plague spreading throughout Allansia was inhibiting. His solution was to send a Guardian of the Crucible to the Invisible City to find a cure rather than his own servants. [9] He was willing to lend his khopesh, an anti-demon sword, to the Guardian, since the weapon could pass the rival sorcerer's power back to Azzur.[10]

Azzur&#039;s Assassins

Azzur sends his assassins

In Assassins of Allansia, Lord Azzur is the primary antagonist by proxy, putting a bounty on an adventurer's head for killing his liege, the Night Prince Zanbar Bone. Azzur appears in person in Fang where he directly confronts the adventurer. If the adventurer survives all of Azzur's assassins, then Azzur would allow his friend, Baron Sukumvit to let the adventurer gain a pardon by entering the Trial of Champions and perhaps survive Deathtrap Dungeon.
