Azmar Island is called "the red island" because of a strange reddish color that pervades everything. The cause of this is unknown. It was colonized in the early days of the First Age, shortly after the colonization of Worfin Island.

Like Worfin Island, Azmar Island was inhabited only by wild animals and wild ogres when dwarves from Port Town arrived by ship. Not long after the colony was established, it began to be subjected to raids by ogre raiders. These raids intensified. Ogres even captured a dwarf ship and left the island. Later, other dwarf ships were captured and ogres on ships became a hazard in the seas around Azmar Island.

The continuing danger from ogre raiders prompted the formation of the Azmar Army under the leadership of the dwarf warlord Karleg and the construction of Azmar Castle. The main settlement on Azmar Island is called Azmarton. It is a small fishing village inhabited mostly by dwarves with a few gnomes. Most of the inhabitants are members of the Believers of Belkus religion.

Azmar Island is the territory of the realm of Azmar.
