The Azath

Azath - General Info and References

Known Azath Houses

Deadhouse in Malaz City

Tremorlor(Trellish for House of Life, AKA Odhanhouse - Raraku, Seven Cities)

Mappo - Tremorlor is said to be aspected to time (DG) - in fact all the Azath houses are aspected to time.

This torn warren possesses such pain. If it could wander, drift, it would deliver horror and chaos. Tremorlor holds it here – Iskaral Pust speaks the truth – but even so, how Raraku has twisted on all sides . 

‘Resistance. Pain. The Azath is under siege. This fragmented warren seeks to pull free of the House’s grip. (DG)

"Dead stone can't seal a gate – not for long – even an Azath needs a life force, a living soul –" (DoD)

Finnest House in Darujhistan

Azath House in Letheras, now dead

Grub to Sinn :"This Azath House didn't die,"  he said.  "It just … left."

"Left?  How?"

"I think it just walked out of here, that's what I think."  (Kettle was the soul of the Azath)

Azath in the Jhag Odhan, Seven Cities, fatally injured by Icarium, where Phyrlis' Tree now stands - ‘No, it is dead – all that survived of its lifespirit moved into the spear.'

Azath - undersea - occupied by Sechul Lath and Kilmandaros (RG)

Azath in the Refugium - the gates to Starvald Demelain (Kettle) (RG) - now dying (TCG)

Azath in the Blood of Dragons (TtH)

Azath in the Wastelands - Icarium's last abode and previously Kalse Uprooted (DoD)

Azath on Jacuruku - destroyed with Kallor's empire (DoD)

The House itself was tawny in colour, probably built of limestone, its entrance recessed between a pair of squat, asymmetrical two-storey towers, neither of which possessed windows. A winding path of flagstones connected the gate with the shadow-swallowed door.

Low, gnarled trees occupied the yard, each surmounting a hump.

A sister to Deadhouse in Malaz City. Little different from the one in Darujhistan. All of a kind. All Azath – though where that name came

from and how long ago no-one knows or will ever know.

Mappo spoke in a low voice beside the sapper. ‘It’s said the Azath bridge the realms – every realm. It’s said that even time itself ceases

within their walls.’(DG)

Apsalar said, slowly rising, her eyes on the withered corpse behind Fiddler. ‘That would have been the Keeper – each Azath has a guardian.

I’d always assumed they were immortal . . .’ She stepped forward, kicked at the bones. She grunted. ‘Not human – those limbs are too long, and look at the joints – too many of them. This thing could bend every which way.’

Mappo lifted his head. ‘Forkrul Assail.’ (DG)

Cotillion: ' The death of an Azath House releases all manner of forces, energies - not just those belonging to the deinizens in their earthen tombs.' (BH UKTpb, p.444)

Cotillion : ..'we (ST & C)learned that the Azath are far more than Houses created as prisons for entities of power. They are also portals. And one more thing for certain - they are the repositories for the Lost Elementals.'

Mappo : 'Cotillion, these Lost Elementals - are they perhaps related to the aspects of sorcery? The warrens and the Deck of Dragons? Or, more likely, the Holds?'

'Life, death, dark, light, shadow... possibly, but even that seems a truncated selection. What of, for example time? Past, present, future? What of desire and deed? sound, silence? or are the latter two but minor aspects of air? Does time belong to light? Or is it but a point of reference somewhere between light and dark, yet distinct from shadow? What of faith and denial? Can you now understand, Mappo, the potential completity of relationships?'(BH UKTpb, p.445)

The Builders of the Azath

'Without ground, there can be no sky'.  So spoke the Azathanai in the dust of their quarries." (DoD)
