Azyr

This article is a stub. You can help 1d4chan by expanding it

Azyr was originally the wind of magic related to all things celestial, being it stars, lightning bolts and similar phenomena, as in the Age of Sigmar, it has become the real of this God and the main stronghold of civilization and order in the Warhammer multiverse, needless to say, it's the main source of resistance against the forces of Chaos.

During Warhammer Fantasy Battle

Back in the good old days of yore and the Winds of Magic, Azyr was the blue wind related with the heavens, the source of its lore and the capability to bring understanding and compression where there shouldn't be none. Azyr was also associated, paradoxically (or perhaps not) with dreams, divination, theory and the desire to reach something, we may dare to even say hope, but without the chaotic implications. Back during the earlier days of the Empire, our mollusk friend managed to trap Sigmar there, this may actually has not go as well as expected, as Azyr became linked to Sigmar's essence, turning him in one of the Incarnates, AKA The Warhammer Avengers.

In the Age of Sigmar

Genesis

While Sigmar was incapable to save the-world-that-was, he and the wind of Azyr, along with the core of Warhammer's world managed to survive despite getting sucked into a Chaos Vortex, being everyone's and Games Workshop favourite God-EmperorKing, he came back, and after making pals with Dracothion, an star-drake which has the power to restart realities (read: set a new stage despite everything getting bombed by the the above mentioned Chaos Vortex), he set to rebuild all he has lost, using as base of operations the core of the-world-that-was, thus the realm of Azyr was born.

During long centuries Sigmar build up the new realm this time taking full advantage of being immortal and doing his best to make it ready so there will be no The End Times 2.0, needless to say he did a fine job, forming a massive alliance along with the other 7 realms and laughing off the first attempts of Chaos to do his thing and destroy his shiny new worlds.

Apocalypse

Sadly Chaos still had Archaon up the sleeve, who happens to have as much plot-armour as Sigmar and GW needed some sort of apocalyptic war anyway (how else would they sell their minis?). So yeah, Chaos managed to conquer 7 of the 8 realms and start corrupting them.

Sigmar, of course, was very pissed off, like Emprah, he decided he would need Space Marines, unlike Emprah, he decided it would be a very good idea to make them immune to Chaos, also, at difference of Emprah, he already had "warp" powers in the form of the wind of Azyr, so he did the intelligent thing and closed the gates of Azyr and activated some sort of camo-field so not even Tzeentch would see what he was doing.
