<p>Stormlight place/lore/order article (Corvus), book-canon</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Azir&#039;&#039;&#039; is a powerful and populous empire in the western reaches of [[Roshar]], the heart of the Makabaki region and the seat of a bureaucratic, scholarly civilization quite distinct from the martial kingdoms of the east. Ruled by an emperor known as the [[Prime Aqasix]], Azir features significantly in the later events of [[The Stormlight Archive]] as a key member of the coalition against [[Odium]].<br /> <br /> == Geography ==<br /> Azir lies in the western, drier portion of the supercontinent, partly sheltered from the worst of the [[The Highstorm|highstorms]] by distance from [[The Origin|the Origin]]. Its capital, Azimir, is a city of remarkable construction, including a great bronze dome. The empire commands extensive trade routes across the Makabaki lands.<br /> <br /> == Society ==<br /> Azish society is governed by bureaucracy and the written word rather than by martial prowess. Position and authority are earned through examinations and the proper filing of documents, and a person&#039;s standing is often signified by elaborate, layered clothing. To hold office one must possess the correct seals and paperwork, and even the emperor&#039;s legitimacy rests on bureaucratic and scholarly tradition rather than birth alone. Azir follows its own religious traditions distinct from [[Vorinism]].<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> Azir became a crucial member of [[Dalinar Kholin]]&#039;s coalition against [[Odium]], its [[Oathgate]] linking it to [[Urithiru]] and the wider war effort. The selection and protection of its [[Prime Aqasix]] during the crisis, and the kingdom&#039;s vast resources and population, made Azir one of the most important human powers in the conflict.<br /> <br /> == Significance ==<br /> As the dominant power of the Makabaki and a bureaucratic counterweight to the warlike Alethi, Azir broadens the political landscape of Roshar and anchors the coalition&#039;s western strength.<br /> <br /> [[Category:The Stormlight Archive]]<br /> [[Category:Places]]</div>
