'''Azimir''' is the capital city of [[Azir]], and the seat of the [[Prime Aqasix]], the leader of the Azish Empire.{{map ref|Roshar}}
== Geography ==
Azimir is located in the southern part of the country, near the border with [[Tashikk]] and [[Emul]]. It's location is well-protected from highstorms.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} It is one of the larger cities on [[Roshar]], with population exceeding that of [[Kholinar]], and far greater population density.{{wob ref|3824}}{{wob ref|3825}}
Azimir is one of the oldest cities on the planet. That it has its own [[Oathgate]] implies that it might've been the capital of [[Makabakam]], the [[Silver Kingdoms | Silver Kingdom]] within whose lands it would've laid during the Heraldic Epochs.{{book ref|sa3|8}}{{map ref|silver kingdoms}}
In 1173, the city saw a string of assassinations as [[Szeth]], under orders from [[Taravangian]], assassinated [[Prime Aqasix]] after Prime Aqasix as they were being elected, leading to a succession crisis as prospective candidates grew too fearful to apply. At the same time, the city was visited by the herald [[Nale]], who was hunting [[Lift]] for her [[Surgebinding]]. The meeting between them in the [[Bronze Palace]] led to Lift revealing her abilities and [[Gawx]] being elected the new Prime after she healed him.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}
▲== Trivia ==
Following the [[Everstorm]], the former [[Parshmen]] left the city, and attempted to sue the government for their back pay.{{book ref|sa3|8}} While the negotiations took place, the Azish intended to destroy the city's [[Oathgate]]. However, those plans were abandoned after [[Dalinar Kholin]] convinced the Azish government to join his alliance and the Oathgate was unlocked by Lift for easy access to [[Urithiru]], while the negotiations with the [[Singer]]s broke down with the arrival of the [[Fused]].{{book ref|sa3|65}}
== Landmarks ==
;'''The [[Bronze Palace]]'''
The seat of the [[Azir |Azish]] government, and the home of the [[Prime Aqasix]]. Its name comes from it being mostly made out of bronze through [[Soulcasting]]. This includes not only its walls and spires, but also trees and decorations.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}
;'''The Grand Market'''
The city's indoor shopping district, an enormous building covered by a bronze dome. It is located on top of the city's [[Oathgate]] platform. Upon learning of this fact, the Azish emptied it out and transformed it into a fort to protect against possible [[Alethkar |Alethi]] invastion, thinking that only the contents of the control chamber could be teleported.{{book ref|sa3|65}}
