	4th edition decided to tweak it: the reason azers in the [[World Axis]] look like dwarves is because they ''were'' dwarves, or at least their ancestors were. See, in the [[World Axis]], at the dawn of time, dwarves were enslaved en-mass by the [[giant]]s, who were elemental beings created by the [[Archomental\|Primordials]]. Although [[Moradin]] ultimately freed them as part of the [[Dawn War]], for some clans, he came too late. Generations of living in places abounding in elemental energy contaminated them, permeating their bodies and souls, changing them. The lucky clans escaped as the Forgeborn, essentially a dwarven analogue to [[genasi]]. The unlucky ones completely metamorphosed into elemental beings themselves. Azers, as you can probably figure out due to not having brains made of soap, were slaves to fire giants, and ultimately mutated into fire elementals. They still tend to serve fire giants, efreets and other fiery masters, simply because they have a kinship with them. As a result, azers in the Axis are related to the [[Galeb Duhr]] ([[Stone Giant]] slaves) and [[Eisk Jaat]] ([[Frost Giant]] slaves).		4th edition decided to tweak it: the reason azers in the [[World Axis]] look like dwarves is because they ''were'' dwarves, or at least their ancestors were.

	You may be wondering just why azers look like dwarves? Well, in AD&D, it was just one of the way things were, same with why [[eladrin]] looked like [[elf\|elves]] despite being [[angel]]s. In 3rd edition, the answer was, essentially, "convergent evolution" - they were fire elementals who just happened to evolve into dwarf-like forms, much like how the elemental planes were full of elementals who just happened to roughly correspond to bears, sharks, etc.		You may be wondering just why azers look like dwarves?

	'''Azers''' are a species of [[dwarf]]-like [[elemental]] native to the settings of [[Dungeons & Dragons]] and [[Pathfinder]]. Originating out of the Plane of Fire, they were originally classified as "elemental kin" in [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]], as they are denizens of the Elemental Planes that are neither [[genie]]s nor vanilla-elementals. These elementals were created for AD&D, first appearing in AD&D 1e's Monster Manual II, they then went on appear in ''Practical Planetology'' for [[Spelljammer]], then ''Secrets of the Lamp'' for [[Al-Qadim]], and finally were reprinted in ''Monstrous Compendium Annual Volume One'' from their Al-Qadim statblock. After this somewhat inauspicious start, they went on to star in the Monster Manual for every subsequent edition.
