Old Canon

Unfortunately, the peace was not to last, and the Dark Nation--a nation entirely made of Dark Benders--began to release massive armies and war machines, ones that could destroy the world and bind each nation to it's will. The Dark Nation began to invade neighbouring nations and Kingdoms and began their dark campaign to take over the world. The Dark Nation easily conquered the Light Kingdom, nearly wiping all of the Light Benders off the face of the earth for good--though a few managed to escape to the safety of Ba Sing Se.

All of the Nations stood agains the Dark Nation, all of them united under the leadership of Fire Lord Honno-ji--grand father of future Fire Lord, Fire Lord Kouzai I. Honno-ji united the other nations armies against the Dark Nation, but unfortunately, his strong leadership was not to last. After his son, Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, Nobura, and his daughter-in-law, Princess Iwa-jima, were killed when their boat was destroyed and smashed to pieces by the Dark Nation Navy, Honno-ji sank into a small depression.

Though he was still very--if not more--determined to destroy the Dark Nation armies, though his plans became more reckless and wild and his winning streak began to decline. Things took a turn for the worst when an entire Dark Nation Assissination Force, led by Lord Ibu of the Dark Nation, stormed the Fire Nation Capitol, broke into the palace, and assassinated the Fire Lord in his sleep. The rest of the royal family fled by morning--after quickly burying the Fire Lord--and the recently Crown Prince Kouzai--son of Nobura and grandson of Honno-ji--became acting Fire Lord in his family's stead.

The group escaped to the safety of Sozin's Island, where they hid in the confines of the Hall of Fire Lords, hoping to hide and command their armies and country in secrecy until Ibu and his Dark Bender armies fell. Unfortunately this was not to be, the enchantments that were placed around Sozin's Island to protect it from intruders were broken, and Ibu and his armies stormed the beach and the Hall of Fire Lords and slaughtered the entire Royal Family. This marked the end of Fire Nation participation in the war, as Ibu claimed the Fire Nation throne for himself and ruled De Facto for many years to follow, and converted all of the Fire Nation army into Dark Nation soldiers and began his campaign on the Earth Kingdom next.

5 years after Lord Ibu became Emperor Ibu, Supreme Ruler of the Dark and Fire Nations, and after he slaughtered the entire Fire Nation Royal Family, Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, Kouzai, is trained and ready for revenge. Though it initially appeared as if he was killed by Ibu's army, he survived, though not after attaining some facial scars, and trained in both Fire and Lightning bending as well as with his twin broadswords. Now that he is 16, Kouzai began his search for revenge and Emperor Ibu.

Kouzai started his travels by heading from Ba Sing Se to the Souther Water Tribe, in search of his old friend, Ma Chao. Once he reached the Fire Nation however, he soon learned that Ma Chao had left and he was no where to be found. However, he ran into a young water bender boy named Wabty, and his cousin, Lee Chang. Together, the three of them headed for Ba Sing Se, still searching for Ma. There they ran into two new friends, Kalilili--a young fire bender who had escaped from her father's wrath and soon fell in love with Kouzai--and Lu Peng, a young Earth Bender who enjoyed tea and reading. Eventually the group flew to Sozin's Island in order to hatch Kali's dragon, Rashana. Eventually the group headed to Omashu and found another friend, Melody Sven.

Together, the entire group headed to the Fire Nation Capitol to eliminate Ibu. However, the attempt failed, and the group was forced to retreat. During the battle, Lee was killed, and Kouzai and Kali fell in love after his funeral. Togther, the group remained on Kouzai's house on Ember Island and trained there until they were ready to mount their attack on Ibu at the heart of his Nation. This time, they recruited the help of the Earth Kingdom and they fought Ibu and his army on the beaches of the Dark Nation. Ibu released a massive cannon to destroy his enemies, but it back fired and destroyed the entire Dark Nation, binding it to the Spirit World and killing Ibu and his Dark Benders.

With the Dark Nation destroyed, Kouzai returned to power on the throne, Kalilili became his queen, Lu Peng became Earth King, Ma Chao was found hiding in an Air Temple claiming to be on vacation, and Lee returned to life after the final battle. However, the final battle was not without it's losses and resulted in the death of Melody Sven though they did meet a young Fire Bender named Lynn who instantly became friends with the group. And the end of the battle resulted in many years of peace.

Kouzai and his group of friends get together again as Lynn returns from her ten years of travelling. Everyone is older now and well into their duties and personal lives. Lynn first returns to the Earth Kingdom and visits Lu just as Kouzai finishes visiting him. The three of them catch up on old times before Kouzai departs. Lu soon realizes that he's in love with Lynn, but doesn't know how to express it.

Kouzai and Kalilili then invite over Lynn and Lu in order to get them together, and a after much meddling from Kouzai, Lu finally admits his feelings for Lynn and the two agree to marry within the month. A few days later, Kouzai begins to act strangely and captures Ma Chao and a friend from Lynn's past named Akira who wants to break up Lynna and Lu and brings them to an underground bunker where he has them murdered. When he is discovered, he escapes to the Fire Nation palace and his hunted by Lu and Lynn. The two soon find out that it was an imposter Kouzai and the real Kouzai is tied up in his palace. Kouzai soon frees himself and fights the imposter, the two battle till the death, and Kouzai dies when he jumps between his wife and a bolt of the attackers lightning.

The attacker/imposter escapes and Kouzai--despite all of the healers best efforts--dies. Later that day, during the reading of Kouzai's Will, Kouzai's brother Chan appears and attempts to take the throne for himself. However, his plans backfire when Kali reveals that she is pregnant with Kouzai's child, and he is the true heir to the throne. Enraged, Chan plans to attack and kill Kali, but Kouzai--in a spirit form--intervenes and kills Chan instead. After final parting words to Kali and his friends, he departs from the world for the time being.

Crown Prince Lee, son of Kali and Kouzai is a rebellious young boy who is discovered to be the Avatar. The world is in trouble and natural disasters start to shake it. As Lee starts to gather up all his father's friend's children--as well as a new addition to his team, Phantom--things around the world start to go wrong. Earth quakes, tsunamis, massive typhoons an huge hurricanes threaten all of the nations. Soon, Earth King Lu falls ill and dies, and as he does, the whole of Ba Sing Se is shook by an earthquake and sinks below the ground. Kouzai--in spirit form--explains to all his friends what the true purpose their children play is and tells them he will watch over them. He explains that darkness has been eating away at the Spirits of Elements; darkness caused by unbalance and unrest over the past few years. He then explains that their kids are all the Warrior of the Elements and that they will be taken with him on a journey back through time to save the world.

Kouzai then rounds up all the kids and explains to them what their mission is. Kouzai takes the kids to Sozin's Island and into the Hall of Fire Lords, where they travel deep below the catacombs and into a large stone door. As they enter the stone door, the world comes to a crashing end, and the kids go back in time 15 years before they were born. They end up on Ember Island, and from there travel to the location of the Fire Spirit and after passing the trials of the temple, the group begin to fight the cursed Spirit and eventually free it. The Fire Spirit gives them advice on how to save the rest of the spirits, and so taking with them the Fire Tome, the Warriors go to the Rotunda--their headquarters.

After spending some time at the Rotunda and saving a few more spirits, Lee goes on his own adventure and sneaks out at night in order to save the last spirit. Phantom tails along with him, and together the two rescue the Light Spirit. Afterwards, Kouzai meets the two of them and the other Warriors, where Kouzai says they must all go their separate ways in order to train and hone their skills. Kouzai takes Lee to Tengu Island to train him how to be an Avatar and teach him to wield the Avatar's Blade. While the other Warriors are sent out to train for three years and track down specific weapons for their elements, the spirit of his father trained Lee in all the elements.

After three years of training, Lee met up with Phantom in the Light Kingdom after his father went missing and Lee decided to call the rest of the gang together to investigate. After much deliberation and searching, Lee discovered that his father was locked in the Spirit King’s Castle along with the Spirit King, and that the Spirit King was usurped by a shadowy man. Lee and the rest of the Warriors rushed to the Spirit Castle and broke into it.

After freeing Kouzai and the Spirit King, the Warriors rushed to the Throne Room to confront the usurper king. It is revealed that the usurper king was Chan, Kouzai’s brother who attempted to kill him many years earlier. Chan had broken free from his purgatory and had taken over the Spirit Throne. The Warriors began to battle Chan and after much fighting and nearly destroying the Spirit Palace, Chan was killed and the world was saved. The Spirit King sent the Warriors back to their own time, and for his service to the Spirit King, Kouzai I was resurrected.

Former Fire Lord Kouzai I and former Fire Lady Kalilili along with Fire Lord Lee and Fire Lady Phantom are assassinated by Water Tribe assassins, Crown Prince Rekka is there to witness the murder. Rekka becomes evil and hateful towards Water Benders.

Fire Lord Rekka attacks the North and South Water Tribe with his armies and nearly wipes all of the Water Benders from the Earth as revenge for his parent’s and grandparent’s deaths. Water Benders are now hunted by mercenaries and Fire Bender’s alike, and the Water Tribes are destroyed. After finishing the Water Tribes, Rekka destroys and slaughters the Order of the White Lotus to prevent any third party involvement in destroying his reign.

A secret group known as the Council of Ten has assembled and secretly works to end Fire Lord Rekka’s reign, they have located themselves on an island in the new Dark Nation, where they have also hidden the remaining Water Benders. They send groups of 2 to defend the island, and the remaining royalty of the world. They also send two people to safely guide the Southern Water Tribe Princess, Skye, to the Water Bending island. Kouzai II (disowned and presumed dead, son of Fire Lord Rekka) and his partner are sent to protect her.

After an incident on the trip there that leads to the death of his partner, Kouzai II arrives at Skye’s palace and begins to guide her to the Water Bending Island. After many complications—such as Skye being captured and Kouzai II being injured in the process of rescuing her—the two bond and finally reach the Water Bending Island, however, they were followed by Fire Lord Rekka’s armies. Kouzai II, the Water Benders and the rest of the Council of Ten prepare for their defense of the island and after many loses and battling on the beach, Kouzai II finally corners his father on his ship and kills him. Thus ending Fire Lord Rekka’s reign. Fire Lord Kouzai II is crowned and he and Skye decide to remain friends, ending their romantic relationship.

Kouzai II has three kids, triplets, Susano’o, Amaterasu, and Tsukuyomi. After hearing of a girl who has been afflicted by a Fire Demon that is trapped inside of her, Kouzai II decides to invite the girl to the palace. The girl, Fyre, and her demon, Pyro, arrive at the palace and Kouzai II puts her and Pyro under his kids protection. Kouzai II sends the kids to Ember Island until he can find a way to separate Pyro from Fyre and save her from her affliction. However, during the middle of the first night, Susano’o attacks Fyre and then disappears. Later the next day, Tsukuyomi takes Fyre to a temple in the Dark Nation where she knows a place she can remove Pyro and set him free.

Fyre enters the temple and begins the ritual, however she is interrupted by Susano’o who rips Pyro from her forcefully and then escapes, leaving Fyre weakened and injured. Tsukuyomi tries to intervene but is stabbed through the shoulder before he can do anything. Tsukuyomi then takes Fyre back to the Fire Nation palace and heals her, meanwhile, Susano’o attacks the Souther Water Tribe with Pyro and Tsukuyomi is forced to intervene while Kouzai II thinks of what to do and Fyre recuperates.

Tsukuyomi soon arrives to fight Susano’o and meets him in the throne room—where he is too late to warn Skye—Tsukuyomi battles Susano’o but ends up with an impaled shoulder again. Kouzai appears last minute to defend Skye, and fights Susano’o alone. Kouzai II manages to free Pyro and let him escape, but is too slow to stop Susano’o from killing Skye. Tsukuyomi and Kouzai II return home while Tsukaia escapes—secretly—with Susano’o and is thought to be kidnapped. Kouzai II searches frantically for Tsukaia who has fallen madly in love with Susano’o and has gone with him to kill the Spirit King. After killing the Spirit King, Tsukaia and Susano’o share a passionate night and Tsukaia returns home in the morning.

Tsukaia fakes kidnapping to her family and is welcomed back with open arms. She soon learns—as she is spy to Susano’o—that there is a Seven Nation Summit at the palace between all the world leaders to figure out how to deal with Susano’o tomorrow. During the night, Tsukaia is visited by Susano’o and both are discovered by Amaterasu who promises to keep their secret. The next morning, the Seven Nation Summit begins and kings and royal families arrive at the palace and gather in the meeting room. The kings begin to discuss how best to deal with Susano’o as he himself breaks into the meeting. The world leaders and their families take on Susano’o and Tsukaia and Fyre—fully recovered—fights Tsukaia and Susano’o after chasing them onto the roof—right after Susano’o manages to kill the Fire Lord, Dark Queen and Air King—and is killed in the attempt.

Tsukuyomi tries to save her as Tsukaia and Susano’o escape but fails to. In a rage, Tsukuyomi chases Susano’o to the palace of the Spirit King and finds Susano’o in the throne room. Susano’o and Tsukuyomi do battle, and Susano’o uses illusions to explain to Tsukuyomi how and why he did what he did. After a long arduous fight, Susano’o is impaled by Tsukuyomi and Tsukuyomi leaves him there to die.

Tsukuyomi is now Fire Lord and is leading the Nation back to recovery. However, things aren’t easy as the Dark Nation begins to mobilize their secret armies and war machines. They attack the Light Kingdom in an attempt to take it over again—similar to how Ibu took it over first in the first war. The Fire Nation goes to defend the Light Kingdom, but finds out that the Earth Kingdom is supporting the Dark Nation.

After much inquisition and discovering, Tsukuyomi finds out that an evil man—the son of the last Earth King—named Li has replaced the Earth King. Together, Earth King Li and Dark Lady Maki begin their campaign against the world. After many battles and many loses, Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu launch their attacks against Ba Sing Se and the Dark Nation Capitol. After the fighting, and after Tsukuyomi claims victory, Dark Queen Maki and Earth King Li are executed.

Undead soldiers have taken over many parts of the Earth Kingdom, the entire Dark Nation and the entire Light Kingdom. No one knows who is behind the soldiers as their leader, but Tsukuyomi has a feeling it is someone dark and powerful. After many battles with the zombies, Tsukuyomi learns that it is Susano’o behind the attacks, and he is their leader, meaning that Susano’o didn’t die 10 years ago after their battle. In the meantime, Susano’o’s wife, Tsukaia, is pregnant with their only son, while Susano’o prepares to attack Ba Sing Se and the Fire Nation Capitol.

Susano’o prepares to launch his armies when Tsukuyomi appears and stops him, along with Amaterasu. The three siblings face off, but Amaterasu—who is pregnant—is viciously knocked out, leaving Susano’o and Tsukuyomi alone to battle. Just when Tsukuyomi is about to kill Susano’o, Tsukaia interferes and lets herself get killed. Susano’o lets her died—though secretly regrets it—and allows Tsukuyomi—though not directly—to kill him. Tsukaia has secrerly already given birth and is in the care of Susano’o’s apprentice for the time being. Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi return to the Fire Nation and Amaterasu’s children are revealed to be safe and also twins.

Tsukuyomi has a son, Kaji, and Amaterasu has twins, Kaon and Hisaki. They along with Hideki Funaka and Hayato Furakoshi, will begin to make important changes to the world like their parents. Together, the group meets with Sasavi—someone whom Tsukuyomi called to the palace—who is the Warrior of Fire. According to Tsukuyomi, the Warriors of the Elements have been reincarnated, Kaon and Sasavi also seem to be dual Warriors of the same element—a common occurrence amongst the Warriors, though originally done with the Water Warriors. Tsukuyomi then summons the rest of the Warriors—people whom he had discovered by the other royalty for him—and he sends the Warriors off to the first temple, the Fire Temple to save the Fire Spirit.

While the Warriors are off fighting the crazed Fire Spirit, Tsukuyomi is killed while in public by a hooded figure, leaving Amaterasu clinically depressed. The Warriors finally receive word of Tsukuyomi’s death after saving the Earth, Fire and Water Spirit, while in Ba Sing Se after fighting a hooded figure on the back of a demon. The figure gets away and Kaji soon puts two and two together and figures out the hooded figure killed his father. The Warriors save the rest of the Spirits, after which to head to the home of the Spirit King.

After using the Elemental Gems to unlock the gates, Kaji comes face to face with the man who killed his father, his cousin and Susano’o’s son, Kagutsuchi. The Warriors and Kagutsuchi battle it out—after Kagutsuchi explains why he did it—after the battle, Kagutsuchi gives up, and defects to the good side, and remains Spirit King, a good Spirit King.

The Fire Nation developed new weapons, such as tanks and early guns. However, a group known as Lethal, made up of Bounty Hunters and Mercenaries, steal the plans and mass produce them. They then sell them to other nations—the North and South Water tribe who are at civil war, the Dark Nation who plans for an attack on the Light Kingdom, and the Air Nation Monks who plan to revolt against the Air Kingdom Royalty—and make a profit through starting wars. Crown Prince of the Fire Nation Katsuro, Spirit Prince Raiden, Prince Shinjiro Furakoshi and Princess Hitanami Hideki team up under Fire Lord Kaji’s command and prepare to challenge Lethal.

While fighting Lethal in the Dark Nation, Raiden and Katsuro discover Katsuro’s lost brother, Atzlan who is now a member of Lethal’s ally, The Order of the Dark Phoenix. After a few meetings and battles together, Katsuro manages to convince him to come home with them. After spending a month at home, Aztlan learns to love his lost family, but soon returns to the Order of the Dark Phoenix. The leader of the Order of the Dark Phoenix accuses Aztlan of treason and attacks him, wounding him fatally.

Raiden and Katsuro manage to break in and defend Atzlan, then chase the leader and the members away from the base and hunt them down one by one. However, the leader of the Order of the Dark Phoenix secretly remains behind, killing Aztlan and then himself. When Katsuro and Raiden return they are heart broken but burry Aztlan and join everyone else to attack the Lethal members and finish them off. Shinjiro dies in the fight, but everyone in Lethal is wiped out as well as everyone in the Order of the Dark Phoenix.

Fire Lord Owlan goes to war with the traitorous and treasonous Regent Lord of Fire Nation. The Regent Lord and other nations have been conquering lands in a new continent to build up an army to finish Owlan and his army. However, Owlan goes there to challenge him, and after three and a half days of fighting, Owlan destroys the whole of the Regent Lord’s army and the Regent Lord, earning him the name of Owlan the Lionheart. Owlan and the other nations retreat from the new continent and leave it be, forgetting everything about the land and bringing the secrets to their graves.

The world is at peace, and people are travelling around discovering the secrets of the Earth. It is a time of adventure, mystery and new sagas and heroes. With peace secured, Nations secure and rich, the world is finally at balance. The Fire Nation is about to undertake the task of taking over the Light and Dark Nations—after being offered them—and making them Fire Nation territories, and all of the Nation’s leaders are strong and peaceful.

Inventor and explorer, Fa Kudo, under funding from the Elemental King, has rediscovered the New World which Owlan fought in several years ago. With no prior memory--due to the pact made between him and those who lived there--Owlan cannot warn Fa Kudo of his mistake. Fa Kudo found that the land was inhabited, not by benders, but by magicians and wizards. Created by the Creation Spirits before the benders were, they are stronger and more powerful than benders. They have a population of dragons which they bind together with in order to keep peace between the wizards of the world. Fa Kudo introduced himself to the Magicians, and then returned to the Elemental Kingdom in order to tell the Elemental King.

The Magicians were furious by Fa Kudo's appearance, and thinking Owlan has betrayed their pact, they plan a force to interrupt the 7 Nation Summit--which they saw through a vision--and remind Owlan of their pact. Meanwhile, the Elemental King was pleased with Fa Kudo's news, and decides to call a 7 Nation Summit in order to reveal Fa's discoveries to the other Nations. As the 7 Nation Summit drew nearer, so did the Wizards and their Dragons. On their way to the Summit, the Magicians attacked the Elemental Kingdom, completely destroying it, and leaving the entire land in ruin.

Several hours later, they converged on the Summit, and in the confusion and battle that ensued, they killed the Elemental King, Dark Lord and Light King. However, Raiden—using his Spirit powers—managed to subdue the Magicians, and force them to retreat to Ullondor. Shortly after, the Six Nations rallied their armies, and declared war on Ullondor officially.

After a year of preparation, in 708 AO, the Vermilion Imperial (with both Light and Dark Bender divisions), Earth Kingdom and Water Tribe armies arrived at the New World with their first wave of soldiers. The initial landings came from the Earth Kingdom and Imperial Armies, with the Earth Kingdom taking the Founder’s Island, and the Empire taking Akkaera Village. After both nations colonized their new territories, and setup a base of operations, the Earth Kingdom moved eastward to Kouthael Faction to subject them to naval raids, with the Imperial Airship Forces helping out in the sky. Meanwhile, the Imperial and Water Tribe armies banded together to create the first Union Army. A joint army that bound both nations together in unison, with a single goal: take the Thaef Faction. Shortly after the union of the armies, the Water Tribes—with the help of the Empire—and managed to take the village of Fis, giving the Water Tribes their base of operations in the New World

At the start of the New Year in 709 AO, the Union Armies placed a pause on their military marches. They waited for reinforcements and supplies to arrive from home, and three months later, when they finally arrived, they began their joint march on the capital, Byd. After both armies marched on Byd, it took three weeks for them to lay siege and finally take down the walls of the city. It was another three weeks before the castle fell, but eventually, Thaef Faction was claimed in the name of the Union Army and divided up between the Water Tribes and the Empire.

At the height of their military prowess, the Empire and the Water Tribes disbanded the Union Army in 710 AO and prepared for their planned attacks of Flassaelen and Orinnea Factions, with the Empire and Water Tribes attacking respectively. In the frozen north of Orinnea, the Water Tribe had one goal, march straight to the capital of Aerea, and ignore any small villages along the way. Due to the frozen nature of the land, speed was imperative, so the March to Aerea needed to be executed with speed. However, the march was slowed by constant ambushes and rebellions. This slowed down the march for an extra two months, however, when the Water Tribes finally reached the city, they caused it to cede with ease and quickness.

Meanwhile, in the south, in Flassaelen Faction, the Empire had withdrawn airship support in Kouthael, and gathered them for a massive airstrike. Moving from border to border of Flassaelen, covering every inch of the province, the Empire used their airships to rain fire down upon the forests of the province, and burn every inch of it to the ground. After a year, the entire province was burned to the ground and annexed into the Empire.

However, the following year, 711 AO, would be the beginning of a long halt for the war efforts. Constant rebellions in Orinnea caused problems for the weakened Water Tribe armies, who were also left without supplies in the freezing yearlong winters of the northern province. Secondary supplies and reinforcements were coming from the Six Nations, however, constant delays caused them to not arrive for 6 months. When they finally arrived, it took another 3 months for them to arrive at Aerea City. However, the Water Tribe’s problems were not over, as they spent another 3 months deliberating how to divide up their soldiers and supplies so that a portion could remain behind in Orinnea to quell any further uprisings. These delays helped contribute to the failure that was the planned Invasion of Meach.

As the Water Tribe could not help in the Invasion by attacking from the northern beaches as plan, leaving the Empire and the Earth Kingdom to attack alone from the south. Without a distraction from the north, all of the magician forces in Meach were focused on the southern beaches where the two nations landed their attack. Although the Empire and the Earth Kingdom had managed to advanced 75 kilometers into Meach territory, they were held at that 75 kilometer mark for the remainder of the year in a military stalemate. After 3 consecutive months of fighting, an armistice was called for the rest of the year. A deal was reached between the Empire, Earth Kingdom and the Magicians of Meach, who agreed that so long as the Imperial and Earth Kingdom forces did not attempt to cross the 75 kilometer line or make any further advances, the magicians would not attack them. Owlan attempted to use this armistice as a method of buying time until the Water Tribe had sorted out their problems and attacked from the north as planned.

Finally, in the early months of 712 AO, the Water Tribe armies landed on the northern beaches of Meach Faction. In an attempt to defend their weakly defended northern front, the Meach magicians divided their forces in the south in half, and sent one of the halves to deal with the Water Tribe in the north. Owlan and the Earth King saw this as their opportunity to strike, and after having renewed their ranks and supplies during the armistice, began their attack again. The tables would turn in favor of the League of Six Nations until mid 712, by which time the Empire and Earth Kingdom had advanced 300 kilometers deep into the province, almost a quarter of the way through, while in the north, the Water Tribe had made it to almost 200 kilometers. However, the tables soon turned back again, towards stalemate.

The remainder of 712 was spent in another armistice, with both sides scrambling to find an alternative method or battle plan to defeat the other. The Invasion of Meach resumed in the following year of 713 AO, upon the eve of the armistice’s expiration, the League’s forces attacked the magicians. The fighting would last for the next five years, until 717 AO, and would include such famed battles as the First, Second and Third Battle of Meach Plains, as well as the Miracle of the Western Plains, the Battle of the Northern Beach, the Siege of the Temple. The fighting came to an end after the successful Siege of Aelara, wherein Meach was divided by the Water Tribes, Empire and Earth Kingdom and subsequently annexed.

In 719 AO, after a year of rest and reciprocated shore leave for all of the armies, the League of Six Nations returned with restored supplies and ranks, ready to take down the last remaining faction, Kouthael. The Empire used their airships and navy to blockade the waters and bombard towns, cities, villages, hamlets, and major roads and trade routes throughout the faction, in order to weaken them internally. Meanwhile, the land forces attempted to fight their way through the mountains, and into the heart of Kouthael, however, despite all of their efforts, never managed to make it to the capital, and instead were pushed south to the swamps, where the rest of the fighting would be contained to until 721 AO.

In the final year of the war, the League managed to push their way northward out of the swamp and towards the Great Lake and the capital. In a matter of two months, they managed to make their way to the Great Lake, at which time, the armies halted, and camped while the League’s leaders were called to the Founder’s Island on important business.

Upon reaching the Founder’s Island, the monarchs had discovered that the tombs of the Founder’s had been opened, and what was more, several tomes and artifacts had been revealed which showed that the five Founders were a race of pre-human demi-gods, who were sent down by the Spirits to watch over the New World and their magicians, as the magicians were originally a testing race. The tomes and artifacts also showed that the origin of benders was from a land known as Nippon, where benders had always lived. They learned of the tribes of Chi benders who became Light and Dark benders, and those benders who became Water, Fire, Earth and Air benders. They learned of the 1000 Years of Darkness where the world was left without benders, until the Nipponians came in and conquered the 4 tribes, restoring the bending gene to everyone, and Owlan learned that his ancestor, Konoe—who would become the first Fire Lord—had come from Nippon, claiming to be of divine ancestry, and was one of the founding members of the Four Nations. Owlan had the entire tomb cleared out and shipped back to the Empire for safe keeping in the Imperial Archives of his palace, and had the bodies of the Founders moved back to the Empire as well, to be reinterred in a grand shrine to please the Gods.

Shortly after, the Kouthael magicians returned with another wave of soldiers, attempting to crush the League’s armies. As the battle raged on, the monarchs met on the Founder’s Island to discuss how to end this war. It was not enough to force the magicians to cede, as eventually they would rise up against the Six Nations, and as they were stronger, they would not be stopped. Finally, after much deliberation, it was agreed that—with much regret—they would have no choice but to end the war by use of the Genesis Cannon. The weapon of Owlan’s had been perfected, and attached to an airship known as The Genesis. The League spent the rest of 721 evacuating all Six Nation soldiers and civilians. Owlan also ordered that every library, school, and scholarly archive or building be emptied of all archives, books, tomes, records, relics and artifacts and sent to the Imperial Archives as well.

In 722, when all preparations had been made, and everything and everyone had been removed from the New World, Owlan and the other monarchs flew The Genesis and the Cannon over Ullondor, and activated the Cannon. The Cannon struck as a two fold attack, as planned, the first step sucked all of the life out of the entire land of Ullondor. Every last living being, from insect to animal, from fish to magician, from tree to bird, everything down to the last blade of grass was instantly reduced to dust, ash or bone. All of the life energy of the entire land of Ullondor had been absorbed and converted into pure destructive energy, which was then unleashed in the second half of the attack. The power harnessed from the land of Ullondor was so strong, that is pierced through the entire continent, and eventually destroyed it, causing it to sink beneath the waves. After this use, the Genesis Cannon was sent back to the Six Nations, and buried and sealed beneath the Spirit King’s Palace, never to be used again.

On his way home from the New World, Owlan made a detour to the Empire of Nippon, the land where his family claims ancestry. Eager to see the land where bending originated from, he followed the charts and tomes towards the Island Empire, and landed in the northern island land of Kamui. Owlan was instantly recognized and taken in by the Oina tribe, who explained to Owlan that his line, the line of Ezofuji, derives its name from the Twin Volcanoes that rise up from the northern land. In the Nippon tongue, Ezofuji means Divine Gift, as they were granted by Daidarabotchi and Kanatta to protect the people of this world from Ameria's wrath. Every year, the mountains erupt, to ensure a plentiful spring. It is said that the land of Kamui was once a perpetual spring, but to ensure balance, the Gods allowed winter to settle in for half of the year, and every year, the people of the Oina tribe must pay homage to the Gods at the Ezofuji Iriwaku Shrine, who then allow the mountains to erupt, and cause spring to return.

Owlan learned that his ancestors were also Divine Gifts; which is why he shared his name with the mountain. He learned that his ancestor, the first Ezofuji, was a man named Nagi, who travelled the land of Nippon during its early days, and used his prowess as an Oina warrior and swordsman to defeat evil beings and save the land from darkness. Thus starting the tradition Oina hunting demons in Kamui and Nippon. Nagi eventually passed from this world after his final fight, and was laid to rest in the Izayoi Shrine along with his sword, Tsumugari. Owlan, after hearing this, realized that this is why Konoe went to the Six Nations, in order to live up to his father’s legacy, and become a hero to a whole new group of people. With this in heart, Owlan thanked the Oina for their kindness, and vowed to return and free the Oina from Nipponian rule. Once a mutual agreement by both peoples to live together as descendants of Sceter had turned sour, and had meant lessening rights for Oina peoples under Himiko in recent years, and a lack of appreciation for the time and effort the Oina put into keeping the land safe.

Owlan kept his word, and returned three months later with an army 500 000 strong, and blockaded the entire Island Empire by air and sea. He marched to Queen Himiko—who had taken over for the retired Emperor—and demanded she cede her lands to him, in the name of the God F’yr, the hero Nagi and the ancestral line of Ezofuji. Himiko—who sought to take control of the Vermilion Dragon Empire herself—refused and began a war with Owlan and the Empire.

While Owlan’s soldiers bravely fought—and won—most of the battles throughout Nippon, Owlan returned to the Home Land to visit his family. Upon doing so, he was called to Raiden’s palace, and was told that he had been chosen to become the next Spirit King. Owlan agreed, and abdicated the throne to his brother Eldunar, who would be Emperor until Owlan’s son, Izanagi, was old enough to rule. Owlan then died—as was required of the Spirit King—and Eldunar took the throne. Eldunar, under Owlan’s request, then ended the war with Nippon, by killing Queen Himiko, and forcing the Emperor—who was more than willing to sue for peace—to cede all the lands over to the Empire, turning the Empire of Nippon into the Vermilion State of Nippon.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world has remained at peace, and intends to remain that way for the long while. Soldiers finally return to their families after 15 long years, and the Earth Kingdom has completed the rescue efforts in the Burned Lands, and is well on their way to restoring them to their former glory. The world is safe once more to travel, and enjoy to it’s fullest, and the clouds of darkness have finally parted.

Upon returning to the Six Nations, the Empire and Earth Kingdom entered into an agreement whereby the Earth Kingdom would give up the Burned Lands to the Empire for 15 years, in which time the Empire would pay for repairs done to the land in exchange for all of the profits, taxes and goods produced within those lands in the time allotted, after which point the Empire would return the land to the Earth Kingdom. The Empire also grew closer with the Water Tribes, as a cousin of the Emperor and last in the line of Ezofuji-no-Amaterasu, married into the House of Leihing.

Many months after life returned to normal in the Six Nations, Owlan and Eldunar jointly called a Six Nation Summit once more, this time to discuss the creation of a Medical Corps, to act as healers in the next war or coming disasters--to minimize losses. After agreeing upon the details for the Medical Corps and Summit protocol, Owlan brought up the Tailed Beasts, found deep in Demon Island. After showing the royals the terrible power of the demons, he agreed that in order to prevent their theft or discovery in the future, he would distribute them out to each of the nations evenly, in order to help maintain a balance of power and to teach the Tailed Beasts that they no longer need hate humanity and to learn to coexist peacefully alongside them.

Darkness begins to crawl throughout the land. Rebellions funded, supported and spurred on by unknown persons plague each of the nations. All of the progress made towards peace and cooperation, as well as the independence of the Light and Dark States, during the past 15 years is beginning to come undone. After the return of the Burned Lands to the Earth Kingdom from Imperial control, an attack was made on the Imperial airship that was taking Eldunar home. Though the Emperor and his airship survived, rebellions have become more and more popular, and it is becoming increasingly dangerous for Royals to leave their palaces.

Several soldiers, under the payroll of many nobles of their respective nations have been taken control of by an unknown, unseen puppet master. As times get more dangerous, a prophecy given by Andreva Niya Ilounae, the seer to the Avatar and Warriors, foretells of a great evil coming to the Six Nations.

The Order of the Elements, the Spirit King and the House of Ezofuji teamed up in order to search for the Avatar and Warriors at Owlan's heeding. Together they tracked down each and every one of the future saviors. Meanwhile a secret organization meets in the shadows in order to plan out their devious attack on the capitals of each nation. If their attacks succeed, the nations will fall to them, and the world will fall into darkness.
