Chapter Text
Avatar Korra has died at the age of 53. Parallel to Avatar Kiyoshi being the avatar who lived the longest, Korra was the one who lived the shortest. Her time as avatar came to a quick end but she will never be forgotten. At the age of 17, she prevented the communistic equalists from destroying and getting rid of the art of bending from the face of humanity permanently.
At the age of 18, she was able to stop her theocratic uncle’s plans of setting Vaatu, the dark spirit, free from imprisonment and disrupting the balance of the world, and after that she decided to keep the spirit portals open so mankind and spirits can live side by side once again. By doing so people across the world were randomly granted the powers of airbending, the air nomads were a step closer to being reborn as a nation.
She stopped the society of the Red Lotus who promoted anarchy and planned on abolishing all forms of government and order.
She was a strong woman who struggled 3 years with poison inside her body, but through the help of toph she was able to get rid of the metallic poison and heal and get back on her feet. Korra stopped Kuvira, a fascist who was hungry for power and planned to rule the entire earth kingdom. Although the Red Lotus were able to kill the Earth Queen, this caused Prince Wu to take the throne, and thanks to his wise decision of stepping down and abolishing the monarchy, the Earth Kingdom is now divided by states with their own respective leaders.
The Earth Kingdom has been set free from corrupt Kings and Queens. Avatar Korra’s battle with Kuvira also lead to the creation of a spirit portal in republic city, giving the most metropolitan and modern city in the Avatar World a bridge and a deeper connection to spirits. So despite propelling into the modern age, the citizens of Republic City still learned to live harmoniously with spirits and nature and pay respect to them.
Although Avatar Korra died at a young age, she was an avatar who has changed the world in ways more than one in her lifetime than any avatar has. Her legacy will always be celebrated.
Now with with Avatar Korra’s passing the cycle has moved on to the next Avatar, an Earthbender. The problem is, the Order of The White Lotus is having difficulties tracking down the new avatar. The United Republic of Nations has caused drastic globalization, intermarriage between people from different nations has increased. Meaning mixed heritaged children with unpredictable bending powers.
Back in the old days it was easy to find the next avatar because the people just procreated within their own nation. If you know the next Avatar is gonna be an Earthbender you can just scout the Earth Kingdom. But now families have two children with different elements, even non bending parents could have a child with a random element if their grandparent’s bending gene suddenly resurfaces.
This is where our story begins. The Order of The White Lotus has gathered an elite group of young skilled benders, warriors, and non benders. Our heroes have been tasked to find the next Avatar.
