Water, Air, Fire and Earth….
Long ago the great avatar Aang along with his comrades defeated the fire nation and ended the 100 year war. The world finally ushered into an era of peace and with the beginning of this new era began changes. Republic city, a city founded with the initiative of avatar Aang became a new type of multicultural society based upon the principles of democracy. But as time went by Aang and his comrades grew old and could no longer supervise the changes they've started and eventually avatar Aang died.
A long time passed and a movement rose viewing benders as a defect in society that should be purged. The new avatar that had finally attained mastery of three elements had no choice but to step up and take action. Even though her training was incomplete Avatar Korra managed to both stop the threat of these extremists and master the final element she had not mastered, air. But Korra's struggles were not at an end. She was soon called to face a conspiracy with the goal of reviving the spirit of evil that had been sealed by the first Avatar, Wan as well as (later on) face the Red Lotus an organization bound to returning the world to its original state of chaos. Both those threats left Korra severely scared both physically and mentally. But that didn't stop her from overcoming both threats and bringing about even more changes. One of them was the reconnection of the physical world with the spirit world. Another significant change that was brought about by the first one was the rebirth of the air nation that was destroyed during the 100 year war. Korra tackled multiple other crises during her lifetime and helped the world enter a state of balance… or so everyone thought!
After the death of Avatar Korra rapid changes occurred in the world. The discovery of spirit energy produced electricity in republic city enabled its quick growth and just as quickly it expanded its territory. It was henceforth known as republic nation and for 20 years it has been the center of both scientific and economic progress. The other nations followed behind in every sector and eventually became heavily dependent on this new nation. It was soon after that the movement against benders began anew! Benders were thrown out of the republic nation and those who refused to leave were swiftly executed. The republic nation had become a non-bender only territory. The rest of the nations quickly took action but against republic nation's overwhelming might there was nothing they could do both in terms of diplomacy and military. In that time of crisis a political figure rose to power, President Meikar. Meikar appeared to be making things better for other nations but in reality he was only getting ready to strike! Proposing a new system of immigration allowing benders to return to the republic nation he put his plan into motion and when the benders were inside the borders of the republic nation he wiped them out without hesitation! An event that was later referred to as the bender purge. Over half the population of benders was eliminated that day. As for the spirit world? The global pollution was increasing due to the irresponsible use of industrial technology which was taking its toll on the spirit world. Because of this the spirits were weakened to a point where they couldn't do anything.
And now that the world needs him most the Avatar is nowhere to be found…
