______________________________________________

Azazem is located in the coastal basin south of the Chacthornys Mountains, in what was once virgin woodland cut down in the Fourth Age for fields that through mismanagement and erosion over the millenia was leeched of all nutrients, leaving it a dusty lifeless land.
     Azazem was the first nation to be taken by the fledgeling Korachani empire, back in 11 RM. Since then Azazem has been a major producer of food for the region - originally through its verdant fields and  grazing lands, though their disappearance led to the creation of vast moss and lichen farms, as well as dross manufactories that now dominate the land, which, through their hundreds of miles of pipelines, provide the metropolises of the empire with the minimum of required sustenance for its work-slaves and helots.
     In 2976 RM Azazem was gripped by a brutal civil war. Led by a demagogic figure known as the Pariah-king. Over half the populace of Azazem and many traitorous legions of the imperial army marched under his banner against Korachan, in a war that would grip the region for three years, shattering the east of Azazem.
     After the war, Korachan secured trade and business in the area by giving away land to loyal patricians, who in turn granted it to families to work as fiefs. This ensured the slow yet steady repopulation of Azazem, and provided a stable economy that survives to this day.
