Azir was founded as [[Makabakam]] in the [[Silver Kingdoms]] Epoch, settled by Ashynite emigrants who arrived on Roshar in Shinovar circa 7000 years before the [[True Desolation]],{{book ref|sa4|14}}{{book ref|sa4|111}} before eventually expanding outward and settling all across Roshar. [[Azimir]] was likely Makabakam's capital, as it contains an [[Oathgate]].{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}}{{book ref|sa3|65}}

[[Sadees]] the Sunmaker, the infamous [[Alethkar|Alethi]] warrior, conquered Azir as part of his bid to take over the entire continent during the reign of [[Prime Aqasix]] [[Snoxil]]. The occupation was extremely violent: up to ten percent of the country's population died, many of them due to Sadees seemingly seeking to eradicate the Azish. In some areas, Sadees ordered a certain number of executions a day. In others, he declared all men with hair at a certain length to be killed.{{book ref|sa3|42}} Sadees rationalized this by claiming that the Azish were uncivilized since they did not use [[lighteyes|eye color]] as a basis for their social hierarchy.{{book ref|sa3|65}}
