| - Az-Zure was the leader of a group of Dread Gnomes that were defending Dread Mountain from Greers, green beasts, as well as other threats from the Shadow Lord. When Adin arrived at the mountain, having been repelled from Tora, Az-Zure and her companions captured him, tying him to a post as bait for the last green beast. Adin attempted to explain himself, but Az-Zure refused to listen. Before the Dread Gnomes could take their positions, the green beast they had been hunting surprised them, wounding Az-Zure. Adin slew the beast—his arrows were heavier than those used by the Dread Gnomes and could pierce the green beast's scales—and saved Az-Zure's life. In thanks, Az-Zure led Adin to the rest of her tribe so that he could tell them of the Belt of Deltora that he was creating. That same night, the Dread Gnomes agreed to follow him and added the Emerald to the Belt. Adin later used Az-Zure's name when he returned to Del to try and earn the Topaz. Unconvinced that the people of Del would hand over their talisman to their simple blacksmith, Adin dressed in Mere clothing and referred to himself as the "Archer of Azzure", though his disguise ultimately failed. Az-Zure later took part in the Battle for Deltora, commanding the Dread Gnome archers. Az-Zure and Padge were the first to notice the Torans approaching and frantically alerted Adin. Az-Zure presumably survived the battle, which ended quickly after the arrival of the Torans and the completion of the Belt of Deltora.
