Chapter Text
Water. Earth. Fire. Air.
Twelve years ago, Xadia was one land. The citizens of all four nations lived in harmony in the capital of Republic City. They were under the protection of the Avatar, the only individual in the land that could master all four elements. The residents of the city used their respective elements to help each other out and things were relatively peaceful ... until the news that the Avatar had been killed in a skirmish between the Fire Nation and the Earth Nation.
The continent fell into a panic and there was many riots breaking out throughout the city during the next year. But the worst was yet to come. Four years later, the city spiraled out of control at the news that the Fire Lord, Avizandum, was murdered by a group of Earth Kingdom deserters during a peaceful trade negotiation.
The Fire Lady, Zubeia, had given birth a few short days before the assassination of her husband and had heard about what happened. Because of her ever-present exhaustion from the birth, combined with her grieving over her lost husband, she called for her most trusted bodyguards to take her son and flee the palace.
Young prince Azymondias was taken by the High Councilman of the Earth Kingdom, Viren. An evil man, the wicked Earthbender ... incapacitated ... the young prince’s loyal protectors and took the child with him back to Ba Sing Se.
During all this, the power-hungry Firebender Sol Regem took the throne by force. He took his army and began an invasion of the other nations in an event known as “The Massacre”. The Fire Lord has been forever held responsible for the millions of lives lost in the absence of the Avatar, including the near-extinction of the Air Nation. Many more fled the capital, moving into small towns and villages to try and escape the wrath of the Fire Lord. The capital has long since been abandoned to be reclaimed by nature.
Now, five years after Avizandum’s death, the Fire Nation’s grip on the other nations has grown so much that it means extinction for the other nations.
The only hope to save Xadia is to find the Avatar so peace can be restored.
