Chou family

The Chou family was the ruling family of a city built on the back of a fire-bestowing lion turtle. Consisting of Chou the Elder and the three Chou brothers, the family lived in a fortified palace at the top of the city and ruled the settlement with an iron fist, hoarding food supplies and keeping the rest of the citizens impoverished.

History
The Chou brothers chased Wan through the city after he stole a bag of bread from them. Despite some difficulty, the brothers eventually managed to catch him, and subsequently threw him off an escarpment into a pen of hybrid pigs as punishment for his theft.



Later, the Chou family was confronted by a rebellion led by Wan, who demanded that they surrender the food they were hoarding. The brothers met Wan at the gate, where he surprised them with his firebending before storming the palace with the rest of the villagers. As the rest of the rebellion escaped, Wan remained behind to fight the brothers and the palace guards, who managed to unmask and corner him into submission.

The next day, Chou the Elder urged Wan to reveal the named of the others involved in the raid, offering him pardon for his crimes if he complied. Wan refused, and so Chou the Elder banished him to the Spirit Wilds.
