No New Posts Ruins of Taku

Located near the western Earth Kingdom shores, the city of Taku was once an important hub of commerce for the Earth Kingdom, as it was used to distribute cargo imported from ships to various parts of the Kingdom. However, due to its key strategic location, it was recognized and attacked by the Fire Nation during the intial wave of attacks, becoming one of the very first Earth Kingdom cities to be destroyed. Now almost completely abandoned, the only remaining occupants are an old woman, a medicinal instructor from the now ruined, century-old Herbalist Institute, and her cat, Miyuki, apart from an occasional Earth Kingdom troop passing through.

No New Posts Senlin's Forest

A forest which was burned down by the Fire Nation as a result of a battle. Having lost their home, the wildlife that once lived in the forest have fled to other parts of the Earth Kingdom and the only notable landscape that stands in the scorched remains is a grove of statues in its center. Near the forest is a small village left untouched by the Fire Nation as it does holds no significant military advantage. Its villagers are mostly farmers and traders and many have left to fight in the war. Though unharmed by the Fire Nation, the villagers dealt with constant attacks and kidnappings by Hei Bai, the black and white spirit guardian of the forest who angered, transformed from a docile giant panda bear into a ravage six-legged creature as a result of the descruction.

No New Posts The Swamp

The Foggy Swamp Tribe are a waterbending Tribe who live in a mystical swamp in the Earth Kingdom. The swamp itself actually consists, in large part, of a single, massive swamp tree, at least several hundred feet tall, whose roots and tree limbs have spread out for miles to form the foundation of the swamp. Though the Foggy Swamp tribe Waterbenders share the skill of waterbending, they were completely unknown to their polar cousins and vice versa, until Katara, Sokka, and Aang stumbled across the tribe. They speak with a Mississippi River Delta accent, with whom they share much of their stereotypes. Though technologically unsophisticated, they are powerful waterbenders. They can use waterbending to propel their river crafts to very high speeds. Members of the Swamp Tribe have also discovered how to bend swamp plants by controlling the water within them. Their diet consists of small game and giant insects, and they keep alligator-catfish as pets. The Foggy Swamp Tribe is also very in tune to their natural surroundings and have a keen understanding of the workings of the natural world and a belief that all life is connected and is reliant on each other, a philosophy which they teach Aang, who quickly accepts the concept.

No New Posts The Cave of the Two Lovers

A secret tunnel that passes through a section of the Kolau mountain range just beyond the Earth Kingdom of Omashu. The tunnel is home to territorial creatures such as Wolfbats and their natural predators, the earthbending Badgermoles. In actuality the tunnel is a giant subterranean labyrinth, filled with a seemingly endless supply of bewildering twists and turns. In the center of the labyrinth is the Tomb of Two Lovers, the creators of the cave, founders of the city of Omashu, and the world's very first human Earthbenders. The tomb is a large room with two sarcophaguses in the center which hold the bodies of the two lovers as their final resting place. The walls of the tomb are decorated with pictures and pictograms telling the story of the two lovers as well as the origins of their bending discipline and Omashu's creation. The walls also provide a hint to the solution of the maze with the proverb, "Love is brightest in the dark." In that a row of illuminated crystals in the ceiling would serve as a guide to the exit of the cave when in complete darkness. The two lovers would use the cave as their secret meeting place, anyone else would be lost forever within the labyrinth.
