Ember Island is a renowned resort area located in the outer islands of the Fire Nation. Set amongst palm trees and luscious vegetation, it is home to many luxurious resorts and vacation homes for the wealthy and powerful. Many high-ranking Fire Nation officials have vacation homes here and the island is viewed as the top vacation destination in the Fire Nation.^[2] The private beaches are surrounded by mountains and dunes which create a private atmosphere for visitors.^[3] 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, following the years after the Avatar's death.^[3]

History Edit

Among the many people who owned homes on the island were Lo and Li, Princess Azula's twin mentors, as well as Fire Lord Ozai's family. This particular home was abandoned, but the royal family used to spend their summers there when Azula and Zuko were still children. Lo and Li's house was rather small in comparison to all of the others, but it was nonetheless luxurious. A third house belonged to Admiral Chan, who was for some time on leave on the island.

According to Lo and Li, Ember Island tends to cause its visitors to go into a sort of self-discovery.^[1] One sort of allusion to this may be when Aang, Sokka, Katara, Zuko, Toph and Suki visit this island to watch the play, The Boy in the Iceberg, which symbolizes the team's self-discovery.^[4] Many have learned things about themselves that they were previously unaware of, including secrets of their friends and family.

Locations Edit

Ember Island Arcade Edit

Ember Island houses an open-air arcade, which features a number of games and is very popular with younger crowds. One of the newest and most popular games is "Street Bender", where players can choose character dolls of popular characters like Prince Zuko or Avatar Aang, and for the price of a silver piece can fight with them using a series of joystick controls. Street Bender is very popular with children, and the occasional over-competitive teenager. Zuko and Azula played this game, with Zuko controlling himself and Azula controlling Aang. Every hit results in a loss of life bar, each player has three. Attacks can be enhanced by firebending into the metal control rods. In a fit of rage, Zuko over-used his firebending, causing the game to be destroyed.^[5]

Ember Island Theater Edit

Main article: Ember Island Theater

Possibly the best small stage, local theater in all of the Fire Nation.^[4] 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.^[3]

Lo and Li's beach house Edit

Lo and Li have come 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. Upon visiting the house, Zuko commented that it smelled like "old lady". However, it is still a very comfortable haven from the politics that occupy everyday life in the capital. When life in the Fire Nation Capital became too hectic, the twins escaped to their little oasis.^[3] This is also where Azula and Zuko came to stay with their friends while the Fire Lord held a very private meeting back home.^[1]

Ozai's beach house Edit

Main article: Ozai's beach house

During Zuko's childhood, the Fire Lord's family visited their summer home on Ember Island once every year. Several of Zuko's flashbacks revealed that the family was a lot happier during those days on the island. Several years later, Zuko visited the beach house and recalled his memories of visiting the island in his childhood. After Azula attacked the Western Air Temple,^[6] Team Avatar made their way here, where they resided until the arrival of Sozin's Comet.^[7]
