== Valley of the Centipede ==
Azami was the patriarch of a small, distant branch of the Isawa family. He became isolated in the Valley of the Centipede, a remote region of the Rokugani coast east of Kiken Roka in the Mountains of Regret. He settled the valley, which was all but completely separated from the Empire. Way of the Shugenja, p. 48
== Centipede Clan ==
Azami had no sons, but eleven daughters. His death began a tradition of matriarchy 
among the family that in time became accepted practice. In time, the Otomo led the Emperor to recognize the small family as a Minor Clan. Isawa Moshi, direct descendant of Azami, was granted the family name Moshi and took the name of the first Phoenix lord of the valley, Azami, as her own. Moshi Azami became the first daimyo of the Centipede Clan.
