The Spirits of Azuria

In the Cynrathuan Empire, the Azurian religions tell the story of the primordial entity who created the universe, Azer Deiwos, and also created beings to function as a living interface between nature and sentient/sapient beings: entities that were intrinsically connected to natural forces, but could also develop personalities on their own, often reflecting how the sentients perceived those forces. These beings or entities became known as the Azurian Spirits, virtually countless in number but ruled by a council of 13, the Azurians Prime.
