[edit] History

Located near the western Earth Kingdom shores, the city of Taku was once an important hub of commerce for the Earth Kingdom used to distribute cargo imported from ships to the entire nation. However, due to its key strategic location, it was recognized and attacked by the Fire Nation during the initial wave of attacks, becoming one of the very first Earth Kingdom cities to be destroyed. Now almost completely abandoned, the only remaining occupant is an old woman, who is a medicinal instructor from the abandoned Herbalist Institute.

Now that the War is over, the world has begun to rebuild, and this effort may or may not extend to the city of Taku.

The Herbalist Institute

One of the few remaining Earth Kingdom establishments in this area, the Herbalist Institute is hidden high in the mountains surrounded by natural growth. The institute is over a hundred years old and used to be a thriving establishment. Its medicines were once sent all over the world. The location of the institute is important because the climate there is ideal for growing a variety of herbs needed to make medicines. There is a greenhouse attached to it with an endless variety of plant life including some of the most rare species in the world.
