After the success of Avatar Aang in defeating Fire Lord Ozai, the four nations have come to an uneasy truce lingers. In preperation for the next Avatar a tournament has been announced in Ba Sing Se. Those who prove themselves worthy will be chosen for the new 'Team Avatar' and when the new reincarnation is found will be the ones to help it master all four forms of bending.

In addition to those being chosen by their own tribes several figures instead drawn by fate have begun to reveal themselves, even if it is unknown to even them.
