− The '''Saurimat''' are an intelligence and security force loyal to the [[Azami]] high council. Specializing in melee combat, Saurimat agents are notable for often being known public figures and pillars of their communities and often serve as temple guardians or servants to Azami mullahs. Well-versed in matters of the faith (with several members achieving hafiz—memorizing the entire Quran), Saurimat agents are often looked to by fellow Azami for religious and political guidance.

Politically, Saurimat leaders rival and, in some ways, eclipse the high council of Azami Elders in power. The high council retains ultimate authority only in spiritual matters, with the Azami acting independently in regards to worldly matters. Around the [[Fourth Succession War]], the organization's reforms led to them ultimately taking control of the high council, essentially leading the entirety of the Azami faith.
