The seaport village is a small coastal settlement located in the western Earth Kingdom. An important port on the Mo Ce Sea, the village was captured by the Fire Nation during the Hundred Year War. The Fire Nation Navy brought coal from the inland to this village, where its warships could be refueled before going out to sea again. A large prison rig was located several miles offshore.[1]
Team Avatar briefly visited the seaport village during the autumn of 99 ASC. After Katara was arrested for what Fire Nation guards believed was earthbending, she was brought by cartwheel to a ship in this village. Aang and Sokka, disguised as village natives, watched her safely board the ship. She was then taken to an offshore prison rig, where earthbenders were held captive indefinitely.[1]
The seaport village is surrounded by tall, barren mountains on three sides and the Mo Ce Sea on the other. The village's harbor is U-shaped and has three wooden piers that jut into it. Only one of the piers can dock large ships; the other two to its right are far smaller, so only small ships can dock there. A thin strip of beach separates the village from the harbor. Some sailors and natives leave their boats here instead of the piers as they enter the village. A boardwalk on the beach connects to one of the piers, allowing room for easier access to it.
The village is divided into two halves by a wide, straight avenue. On either side of the avenue are low-rise buildings made of wood. They have green rooftops that are bordered by thin yellow outlines. The rooftops are triangular and have no shingles. Some of the buildings are houses, while the others are markets. The village's marketplace is quite lively and bustling with commerce.[1]
