Azaroth

From The Chronicles of Narnia Wiki

Azaroth was a goddess of Calormene Paganism. The Calormene society was a pantheistic one, worshipping many gods; Tash and Zardeenah were two others. In the legendary hierarchy of Calormene gods and goddesses, Azaroth was considered below Tash (the highest of Calormene gods) but above Zardeenah, the goddess of night and of unmarried maidens. Azaroth commanded more respect and fear than Zardeenah, though her exact position and responsibilities is not clearly known.

[edit] Trivia

C.S. Lewis never defined whether Azaroth was a god, or a goddess. In the Tale of Azaroth's Son Azaroth is described as being both male and female; this story is, however, not considered canon. In Paul F. Ford's book, entitled Companion to Narnia, Revised Edition: A Complete Guide to the Magical World of C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia, Azaroth is assumed to be female, as here. In the popular Massive Online Game called World of Warcraft, the country that the game is based on is called Azeroth, which is strangely similar.
