Mai's house

Mai's house, located directly across from the Royal Palace, is one of the many elegant homes inhabited by important Fire Nation citizens.

Like all other Fire Nation nobles' homes, Mai's house has a full staff of servants catering to her and her visitors' every whim. The fact that the house is located right across from the palace is symbolic of her family's wealth and prestige.

History
Since her family was in Omashu, Mai had the place all to herself in the months before the end of the War.

After returning to the Fire Nation, Zuko would often visit Mai at her house and they would boss around their servants for fun. It was an ideal place for their romantic evenings. However, on the Day of Black Sun, the Fire Nation Capital was completely evacuated in the wake of the impending invasion, so the house was deserted. Only Zuko stayed behind, and he decided to fulfill his destiny to help the Avatar save the world.



He left Mai a letter in her bedroom explaining that he was leaving, but deeply regretted the circumstances. Mai's room also contained a painted portrait of her and Zuko.

Mai was recently arrested for helping Zuko to escape the Boiling Rock Prison, so it is unknown who had been overseeing the large house. However, after the War ended, Mai was freed, and it can be presumed the house is back in her family's possession.
