Ember Island is a small resort located in the outer islands of the Fire Nation. It is home to many luxurious resorts and vacation homes for the wealthy and powerful. The beaches are among the most popular in the country, and host many popular Kuai Ball games. The island is less known as being the home of Ta Min, Roku's wife, during the last years of her life.

[edit] History
island_.jpg)
Among the people who own homes there are Lo and Li, Princess Azula's twin teachers, and one used to belong to Fire Lord Ozai's family. This particular home is now abandoned, but the royal family used to spend their summers there when Azula and Zuko were only kids. Lo and Li's house is rather small in comparison to all of the others, but is nonetheless luxurious. A third house belongs to an Admiral Chan, who is currently on leave on the island with his family. According to Lo and Li, Ember Island tends to cause its visitors to go into a sort of self-discovery. One sort of allusion to this may be when Aang, Sokka, Katara, Zuko and the rest visit this Island to watch the play, "The Boy in the Iceberg" which symbolizes the team's self-discovery in "Ember Island Players". Many have learned things about themselves that they were previously unaware of, and of their friends and family as well. After Avatar Roku's death, Ta Min moved to the island, where she lived in solitude until she died shortly before the start of the war.

[edit] Ozai's Beach House
Main article: Ozai's Beach House
Fire Lord Ozai's family used to come to their summer home on Ember Island once every year. During the events of "The Beach", several of Zuko's flashbacks revealed that the family was a lot happier during those days on the island, but that was long ago. More recently, Azula and Zuko returned to the island alongside Mai and Ty Lee and spent a couple of nights at Lo and Li's house while their father held a private meeting with his war council. While there, the gang too learned more about themselves and each other, and has helped the group to understand each other better and to soothe previous rifts in their friendship. After Azula attacked the Western Air Temple in "The Southern Raiders", Team Avatar flees and makes their way here, where they reside until the arrival of Sozin's Comet.
[edit] Lo and Li's beach house
Lo and Li have been coming to this beach house ever since they were infants, and inherited it after their parents died. Unlike all of the other beach houses, which are enormous and elegant, this beach house is rather small and in some disrepair. Not surprisingly, it smells a lot like old ladies, too. However, it is still a very comfortable haven from the politics that occupy everyday life back at the Capital. This is where Azula and Zuko come to stay with their friends while the Fire Lord held a very private meeting back home.
[edit] Ember Island Theater
Main article: Ember Island Theater
First seen in the "The Ember Island Players". Possibly the best small stage, local theater in all of the Fire Nation. The Ember Island Theater is supported by upper class Ember Islanders who like everything on their best little vacation spot just perfect. This theater was recently renovated and anyone who comes here almost always seems to comment about how delightful it looks. The plays however, are not as good as the theater.
