Facts Warning Contains Spoilers
The Shadow Empire: An ancient nation that once ruled over the entire world, it was ruled by the Shadow Emperor, the supreme figure in the world at that time. The traditional way to where ones hair is to have it mostly shaved, except for the area along the top, where a small Mohawk like hairstyle was. The military, unlike most of the nations is composed of only benders, foot soldiers and cavalry units alike.
Shadow Bending: The Shadow Empire's most powerful weapon, its main power is a user can take control of a victim's shadow and thus completely control him or her. Another key ability is to walk through walls and any other solid objects. Probably it's most powerful ability is the power to create monsters, weapons, and other things of shadows, an ability commonly used, sometimes as a last resort.
Avatar Saror: He was the first Avatar and the son of Shadow Emperor Othar. His was a fun, happy, and kind young man. He pitied the residents of the opposing bending arts and decided to do something about it. He began to travel the world to master all of the bending arts. He however knew that his father would try to stop him so he decided to build a hiding place for his allies, which later was changed into a sacred temple in which four sacred spheres which he created were hidden. His spirit animal was a mighty serpent which he blessed with the power over all four elements. He had a wife and one son. Losing the battle with his father he decided to end the battle once and for all, by using the four sacred spheres. He later died at the age of 30 because of reasons soon to be explained. He sacrificed his Shadowbending abilities and merged them with the other elements to create the Avatar State.
The Elemental Serpent: The first Avatar's spirit animal, he is an aggressive, yet gentle creature who will not hesitate to protect anyone, except people from the Shadow Empire. He was blessed by Avatar Saror with the power over all four elements; he can swap elemental forms at will, depending on which terrain he is in, for example, if he is flying he will take air form, if his swimming he will take water form, when he is a certain form his eyes will glow the element symbol and he will take the form. He protects the Temple of Intertwining Elements constantly swapping forms too navigate through the temple. When in neutral form he is basically a giant cobra. He individual forms will be described in the stories. Too protect the temple he will go to a point to actually never trust someone if they say they are the Avatar.
The Temple of Intertwining Elements: A sacred temple which was created to be a safe house for Avatar Saror allies. However, after Saror created the Elemental Spheres the temple was changed to be a spiritual temple to protect the spheres. The main way Saror built it to make sure that know one found it, not even the greatest archeologist, as it was underneath a thick layer of diamond and ice. The basic design was there was a tower in which you entered, and then a thick layer of traps only the Avatar could stop down an extremely long staircase. Once you reached the heart of the temple and the bottom of stairs a chamber 15 times the size of the Earth Kings throne room would appear. The ceiling would be made of fire, water, earth, and air, and at each corner there would be a massive wall of a certain element, in between each wall is a wide marble path, and in the very middle of the chamber are the four Elemental Spheres. The Elemental Serpent can pass through these walls freely.
Elemental Spheres: As an act of pure desperation Avatar Saror created four extremely powerful orbs that had the power to give the user, depending on which orb the user held, incredible bending abilities. The four spheres were: the Orb of Fire, the Orb of Air, the Orb of Water, and the Orb of Earth. Avatar Saror created these to use against his father, and it was these four orbs that allowed him to win. Only then did Saror learn of the side effects, using the orbs gives a 90 chance of the user shortening their lifespan, which was what happened to Avatar Saror and this is what caused him to die at the age of thirty.
Shadow Emperor Othar: The ruler of the Shadow Empire, unlike his son, he is a sinister, evil, and deceiving Shadowbender who believes the point of life is to end it. He will not hesitate to kill anyone he gets in his way, including his own citizens. Deciding to put the end to his tyranny his son and the prince of the Shadow Empire Saror left the capital and began to travel the world trying to learn the four bending abilities. Caring absolutely zero, Othar continued to rule with an iron fist for the next few years, until his son appeared again and challenged his father. Othar was winning the battle, until Saror used the Elemental Spheres to defeat him. Not having the heart to kill his own father, Saror buried him and all of the Shadow Empire deep beneath the Earth. Othar slept peacefully, until Aang released him.
The Light Fellowship and the Lightbenders will be introduced in the stories.
