'''Azir''' was a kingdom in south-west [[Roshar]]. Its capital is Azirim, and people who are from Azir are called Azish. [[Sigzil]] is Azish.
==Geography==
During the [[Silver Kingdoms]] era, it was part of [[Makabakam]]. Azir is the largest such nation that was formerly Makabakam, and borders [[Yulay]], [[Desh]], [[Yezier]], and [[Emul]].
Azir is suggested to be warmer than [[Alethkar]], but cooler [[Iri]].<ref>{{bref|TWoK|p|440}}</ref> It was even known as far as Azir that if you were sick, [[Taravangian]] of [[Kharbranth]] would take you in.<ref>{{bref|TWoK|p|971}}</ref>
==Physiology==
Azish people are described as being short and dark-skinned.<ref>{{bref|TWoK|c|46}}</ref><ref>{{bref|TWoK|c|53}}</ref>
==Other Facts==
Azir has a legend about truthberry jam, an Azish fruit, which says that those who consume the berries speak only the truth until the next sunset. The berries themselves are harmless, but the leaves and stalks of truthberry plants can be burned, which makes people intoxicated and euphoric. [[Shallan Davar]] remarks to [[Kabsal]] that they should be called birthberries.<ref>{{bref|TWoK|p|593}}</ref>
