Dwarves, Azerbloods (3.5e Race)

Azerbloods

Physical Description

Azerbloods vary widely in their physical appearance, although in general form they resemble shield dwarves with metallic brass-colored skin, flame red hair, and irises that appear to dance like tiny flames. They favor little clothing other than azer kilts of brass, bronze, or copper, but they don heavier armor when they expect combat.

Alignment

Like their dwarven cousins, azerbloods strongly favor the rule of law and the predictability it provides. From their azer anscesters they gain a level of detachment from the debate of good versus evil.

Lands

Azerbloods are most common in the Small Teeth mountains of western Amn, as most are members of the remnants of Clan Azerkyn, which once riled the southern caverns of the Adamant Kingdom of Xothaerin. Individual azerbloods can also be found in shield dwarf clans dwelling in the mountain ranges that lie near the Lake of Steam.

Religion

While they favor Gorm Gulthyn or Dumathoin, azerbloods revere the entire dwarven pantheon.

Language

Azerbloods speak Dwarvan and Ignan. Most who travel outside dwarven lands (as traders, mercenaries, or adventurers) also know the Common tongue.
