== Attribute and Abilities ==
Yanagawn doesn’t have magical abilities. He has power due to his gained position as Prime of Azir. After he was appointed with that title, they gave him education. {{book ref|sa3|56}} He later became more comfortable with his role and started participating by making comments/decisions.{{book ref|sa3|116}}
 
Though he is emperor, he has limits to his rule. What separates Azish rule from the monarchies of the east—and the chaos they suffer—is that their emperor is held in check. Azir can, and will, withstand a change in dynasty.{{book ref|sa3|116}}
 
== History ==
=== Unification of Roshar ===
Though Yanagawn left the recreance vision, it didn’t end for Dalinar who faced Odium. What they didn’t expect was for Lift to be there. This experience made her change her mind and convinced Yanagawn to receive Dalinar at Azir's capital [[Azimir]].{{book ref|sa3|56}}
Dalinar went there and gave the Prime and his vizersviziers three essays to which they responded positively (especially to the one from Navani) and accepted the invite to Urithiru.
 
The young Azish Prime was the first one to arrive. He did with his very ornate throne. He was accompanied by three representatives of kingdoms subject to Azir: the prime of Emul, the princess of Yezier, and the ambassador from Tashikk. All brought chairs that were faintly inferior to that of the Azish Prime. This not to embarrass the Prime, but confirm they were not his subjects. {{book ref|sa3|65}}
The Azish did mobilize troops, {{book ref|sa3|111}} but after [[Taravangian]]´s treason and the unification fracture, they retired from Urithiru and the war.
On their way back to Azimir, Yanagawn wanted to turn back and help the Alethi as he trusted Lift who still trusted Dalinar. They did find out [[Amaram]] and his troops turned sides and he leaves thinking the Alethi betrayed Thaylen and that he and Lift had been wrong on trusting them.{{book ref|sa3|116}}
