Long ago the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the water tribe attacked. Only the avatar master of all four elements could stop them. But when the world needed him once again. He perished.
It has been fourteen years since Earth Avatar Gau's passing and his early death has left a power vacuum just waiting to be filled by the ambitious tyrants of the bending world.
Sensing an opportunity, the brutal southern water tribe warlord, chief Hattoka, slayer of kin has seized power and resumed his people's devastating monthly raids against vulnerable earth kingdom coastlines to enrich and strengthen his own army in anticipation of a great conflict he sees as looming on the horizon, and with the new avatar having yet to master all four elements, the world waits eagerly for them to finish their training soon and deal with the rising threat before it is too late and countless more lives are lost in a coming war.
But not all are eager for the avatar's return to save the world... with those in the shadows already plotting to hasten their early demise from this world into the next to join their pasts lives....
