Everstorm

The Ever-Storm was a massive blizzard that lasted for decades above the South Pole. A frozen forest connected to the spirit world lies at it's center.

General Information
The Ever-Storm formed after sprirts became angry over the Southern Water Tribe's neglect of old spiritual traditions. In the storm's center was a frozen forest similar to the one destroyed at the North Pole. At the center of this forest, a portal to the Spirit World is located. Passage through the storm is difficult because angry spirits are rampant inside of it.

History
The Ever-Storm was formed just after the ending of the Hundred Year War. The South Pole was spiritually and physically unstable after the war. The Northern Water Tribe helped to resolve the physical instabilites, but failed to stabalize the spritual side of the South. Soon after, the Ever-Storm formed. It raged for decades, until Avatar Korra and a small expedition team set out to disolve it. The team managed to reach the South Pole after repeated attacks from Spirits. Korra ventured inside the forest at the storm's center alone, defeated multiple spirits, and opened the Spirit Portal at the forest's center. After a brilliant beacon (similar to the one created when Avatar Aang was broken out of an iceberg), the Ever-Storm dissapated.
