I always considered Azura to be one of the most powerful nations since
We’ve only met two Azurans so far but both are curse users, one of which is on EQUAL footing with Wotan, supossedly one of the strongest beings in AO.
They probably have a lotta curse users and the port mistral secret says smth about arcanium gear
I think Azura would prob have 5 stars in curse power.
I wonder how would they fare in a conflict against the Keraxe Kingdom?
who’s the second one 
Probably. Warren alone is enough to make Wotan reconsider combat. That probably means that Warren is strong enough to make Wotan concerned for his own safety and the safety of his sons. Warren also isn’t even that leader of the Azura province, so there is at least one other (presumably) very strong person there.
who is the second one tho
Berringer I think
Anyways, Azura definitely has several spirit weapon wielders as well, as evidenced by the Azurian Knight with the spirit orb that imbues said spirit orb’s energy into their armour and weapon
Beringer who got the donut treatment
It’s hard to say Berringer was strong. Sure; the order members on skucliffe were beaten to hell and back, but Argos and Elius remained relatively untouched it seems. Berringer was likely not super strong with jid cloud curse.
What I’m more curious about is how anyone found out Berringer spotted the death curse. Did he just go around telling people? How did the order catch wind… most curious. (Unless Berringer is known to use the curse to find Cursed for Azura in which case there is no mystery.)
I still don’t know how a curse user can be beaten by General Argos. Even if the cloud curse is weak curse users are still a step above others.
Y’know, what if Vetex pulls a funni and Warren turns out to be an order baron/high lord
i think it’s more that berringer was inexperienced than truly weak, he hasn’t had a lot of time to learn how to use his curse well since landon only recently died
If warren truly has that inferno curse thingy, then he could do some decent damage to Keraxe’s ships.
Against Wotan though, it kind of depends. if Wotan can still control the incinerated bits of wood, then he probably wins. If they are doing the fight on the ground, Wotan probably wins again. If they are having the fight in the air, above the water, without anyone interfering, and Wotan can’t control the incinerated bits of wood, then Warren could stand a chance
I guess it was just a moment where lore wise strength and gameplay wise strength are clashing. (Maybe some kind of luck played there) In lore it was enough to pierce Berringer with devourer, but in gameplay Argos had to dance with devourer and still couldn’t manage to hit us.
Maybe he was caught off guard? For example Elius and his minions attacked Berringer and during their fight Argos jumped from the bushes and donuted Berringer with a devourer?
Looking at some replies he sent i doubt it
if anything i hope one of his sons or someone in his court is a baron trying to abuse that status to help the order
I think Azura probably has curse power around the level of the Keraxe, and probably a stronger military but a weaker navy
So overall they are both probably similar in power
Yeah, I personally believe Azura along with the Thorne Empire as the only (Non Gravy) Kingdoms capable of beating Keraxe.
Azura, if they have the Inferno Curse, are easily stronger than Keraxe, tenfold.
The Grand Fire Curses are stated to be unmatched in raw power, I doubt Wotan or any of his children’s curses could stand up to it, especially seeing as most of them clash poorly against it, or are neutral to it.
Here’s what I think of the other Kingdoms against Keraxe:
Ravenna: gets crushed easily, relies on deplomacy
Sameria: puts up a good fight but definitely weaker
Skyhall: geographical advantage but weak in sheer strength
Ryujin: prob isolationist. Keraxe couldn’t invade them, but neither could they retaliate.
Thorne: roughly equal
Azura: roughly equal
Corsair: probably weaker
Ravenna would win. Not because they’re strong, but because they’re currently still a branch of the Order, seeing as Julian and the rest of the higher-ups are still alive and in Ravenna. The Order would curbstomp Keraxe with whatever ancient power they’re cooking up (I’d assume associated with Chaos?)
Definitely stronger. If they can give the Gravy a run for their money, I doubt Keraxe would be stronger
The order wasn’t able to stop 4 homeless people from dismantling the entire Ravenna government.
As if we were the main reason ravenna was crumbling
