She repeatedly characterizes Azir being this cruel emperor that will enslave people. In the lore wasn't he a generally well liked in his earlier days as an emperor? Albeit a dictator but a benevolent one?
Shouldn't someone like Xerath be more of her concern than Azir?

KotetsuTatsumaki1 votesAll fair points.
ModWulf Helhammer3 votesAdding to this: no one in Shurima knows that Azir set all slaves free. Having your kingdom blown up in a sun storm isn't very conducive to historical records.
An Undead brat1 votesTrue, but Rito confirmed that Azir was really popular in his days, so 3. is known.
GreenLore1 votesUhm I'm pretty sure that Ace of Eden was talking about how Shurima views him today. Centuries passed since Azirs death and the whole empire was shattered,so its unlikely that they'll see him like that today as well.
An Undead brat1 votesThat's actually very fair point.
GreenLore2 votesAzir was dead for hundreds,if not thousands of years. The knowledge about him is likely very limited and all that the people are remembering is that the shuriman empire was built with slaves.
Pyrodinium1 votesAlso, his father was a madman and Azir himself can safely be assumed to have caused the fall of Shurima.
CR4ZYRONDH4VI1 votesWhere does it talk about Azir in her lore so far? Is it in a video?
KotetsuTatsumaki1 votes“He will enslave my family.” Her words echoed off the rock around them. “I must protect them. Don’t you understand that?”
Karma Deified1 votesI expect more analysis from such a weeb name!
Naturally, Azir the emperor is more well known in legend than a guy who stole some power.
KotetsuTatsumaki1 votesYa just had to say weeb didn't ya?
