  • A group of fiendish and powerful dragon the Azi is the name given to several types of dragon that were created in antiquity. These powerful creatures were, according to ancient manuscripts and dusty tomes, originally created by an unholy union of two dark, malevolent creatures, the Lord of all Div, the living destruction known as Ahriman and the evil draconic deity Dahak. Designed to vex and destroy the goodly dragons who worshiped Apsu the Azi combine the worst elements of draconic arrogance and greed with the destructive, violent nature of the Div. So wretched was their birth that all Azi are able cursed and are able to utilise these curses to cause further harm and devastation. The Azi believe themselves to be a race of draconic nobles combining the blood of dragons with that of the very gods themselves. Supremely arrogant the Azi view all other dragons as subjects and all other mortals as pathetic playthings. This attitude makes Azi hated by almost every other dragon both chromatic and metallic. Even the most evil of dragons rarely has any dealings with the Azi and when they do they tend to look down on them as inferiors which angers the proud Azi. Good dragons universally attempt to eliminate any Azi they find near the territory doing so with zeal and passion. Similarly most mortals bear a deep hatred for the Azi and mythology is full of tales of brave hero defeating these monstrous dragons. Despite being so universally despite the Azi are far from endangered, they are incredibly powerful and even the weakest Azi is as strong as a fully grown dragon.
  • Azi are a fictional race of human clones developed by science fiction and fantasy author C. J. Cherryh. They appear in various books in Cherryh's Alliance-Union universe. The word is used for both singular ("one Azi") and plural ("two Azi") references to members of the race. In the stories, the Azi are first developed by the Union side of the Alliance-Union conflict just prior to the "Company Wars" period in the early twenty-fourth century. Although derived from human gene sequences, they are both genetically engineered and psychologically conditioned to occupy specific social positions, such as soldiers and farmers. Because of these modifications, Azi are seen as an abomination by many on Earth, and this revulsion served as an exacerbating factor in the start of the Wars between Earth Company and Union forces. During the Company Wars, Union was able to produce large numbers of Azi soldiers and support personnel, plus use Azi to augment its civilian population and thus stimulate economic growth. In large measure, the Azi were therefore responsible for Union forces winning a war of attrition against the Earth Company Fleet led by Conrad Mazian. To some degree, the Azi are also controversial in Union itself. As mentioned in Cherryh's book Cyteen, there is on Union's home planet, Cyteen, an active abolitionist party which regards them as being slaves and therefore seeks to emancipate them, but it seems marginal. Azi characters are featured in the following Cherryh books: * Cyteen (1988) * Downbelow Station (1981) * Forty Thousand in Gehenna (1983) * Port Eternity (1982) * Serpent's Reach (1980)
