Taku is an abandoned city located in the western Earth Kingdom. It was once an important center of commerce prior to the War, but was destroyed by the Fire Nation in its first wave of attacks due to its strategic location and importance to the Earth Kingdom.[1]
Located near the western Earth Kingdom shores, the city of Taku was once an important hub of commerce for the Earth Kingdom. It was used to distribute cargo imported from ships throughout 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, a medicinal instructor from the abandoned herbalist institute.[1]
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 one hundred years old, and was formerly a thriving establishment until the settlement became deserted. Now, only the Herbalist and her beloved pet cat reside there alone. Occasionally, wounded Earth Kingdom troops would come to the institute seeking medicinal cures.[2] Its medicines were once sent all across the world. The location of the institute is important because the climate present is ideal for growing a variety of herbs needed to make medicines. A greenhouse is attached to the structure, holding what seems to be an endless supply of flora, some of which are considered to be the rarest in the Avatar World.[1]
