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.
