Azurâg is the Underdark region situated beneath Malurn. Unlike its surface counterpart, the designation assigned to the subterranean domain has persisted unchanged since it was christened during the Dawn Era by Danzar-Khâl.

Azurâg is a scorching subsurface region dotted with pools and lakes of black liquid. The intense heat of the area originates from rivers of lava that enter via canals from the surface. These canals are a product of salamanders, fire giants, and Fyrreid tasked with guarding the Underdark and the realm above. They safeguard against the release of icy foes that once served Cari'phis in the Creation War. The pools and lakes of black liquid are the remnants of the black ice that once blanketed all of Malurn. When Cari'phis was captured, the ice thawed, forming water bodies on the surface and beneath. This liquid is known as Cari'phis Spittle.

The salamanders, fire giants, and the Fyrreid of the region are descendants of the Groi Heim army. During the Creation War, this army served under Surtur. When Surtur was persuaded to sign the Felakgathar Contract, the Groi Heim were entrusted with safeguarding Malurn and Azurâg against any future machinations by the primordials.
