It was the year 2000 AG. Deep in the South Pole, there was a prison. It was a very high-security prison. The prison was a mile tall, reaching down to 5,200 feet below sea level. At the bottom of this prison was a single prisoner, wrapped in chains. He was known as many things: A conqueror, a madman, a murderer, a general, a war hero; the list goes on and on. But perhaps his most popular alias was the Avatar.
334 years ago, in the year 1666 AG, there was another Avatar by the name of Raijin. Avatar Raijin wished to unite the four nations under one rule in order to erase the boundaries between nations. His ambitions, however noble they might have been, resulted in the murder of thousands. After many grueling months of war, the armies of the Northern Water Tribe Chief Wynfrid and the Fire Lord Kozun, the Avatar fell in battle.
After that stain on the war-splotched pages of history, representatives of the four nations met to hold council on the future of the Avatar. The topic itself sparked outrage in the nations, and almost caused civil war. After all, the Avatar had normally always been a peacemaker; how could one bad Avatar soil the reputation of hundreds more? After a fierce debate, the next Avatar was left to do as he pleased.
The next two Avatars, however, Avatar Agni and Avatar Notus, were even more ferocious than Avatar Raijin; they each began vicious campaigns against the world. Once again, the four nations were brought to the brink of extinction as they struggled to combat the Avatar's wrath. After the two Avatars' early deaths, the nations met once more and agreed that the Avatar needed to be contained.
So in the year 1738, an official decree was issued, condemning the Avatar to chains for all time. Over the next 262 years, four Avatars lived and died within the walls of the mile-long prison. Our story begins with the fifth Avatar, who is currently confined within the walls of the prison. His name is Avatar Fujin.
