The Cave of Two Lovers


Located near the city of Omashu in the Earth Kingdom, the Cave of Two Lovers is a secret tunnel that passes through a section of the Kolau mountain range. The tunnel is actually a giant underground labyrinth full of dangerous animals including Wolfbats and Badgermoles. Legends say that the tunnels were created by Oma and Shu, who fell in love despite being from enemy villages. They are believed to have been the first Earthbenders, and created the passage between their villages to meet secretly. In the center of the labyrinth is the Tomb of Two Lovers, believed to contain the remains of the two encased side-by-side in two massive stone sarcophagi. The walls of the tomb are decorated with carvings telling the story of the two lovers. The cave is no longer passable, as the Fire Nation destroyed the north entrance early in the episode, while the central passage was blocked by a cave-in later on. This is where Team Avatar goes in "The Cave of Two Lovers" on their journey to Omashu.
