Azerot is the eldest daughter of Deimos. She is wicked, cruel, and evil to her very core. She delights in watching the innocent suffer and die off. She goes to great lengths to set plagues in motion to watch with anticipation as droves of the mindless masses become stricken and fall to her curse. She is also Queen of Undeath. She goes out of her way to rise up minions from fallen heroes, adding them to her grotesque collection of walking dead. Azerot is as always the dutiful daughter to her god-king father. She bends knee to him and plays her part as his champion, but in truth unlike her elder brothers she despises Deimos. She hates him for giving her such a retched existence. Azerot is not rash, she prefers patients to rash actions. She longs for his death with all her being, and plots for the day when she can strike at last. To this end she has birthed four sons to help her accomplish her goals. She has one son from each of her elder brothers, and one son from her current lover the lich god Kyth. They are aptly named by her War, Strife, Famine, and Pestilence.
