Fire Temple

The Fire Temple is a multi-tiered building that sits atop a craggy hill on a volcanic island. Avatar Roku once called this temple his home. The ancient temple uses mechanisms that require Firebending to operate. Only the Fire Sages live there.

Sanctuary
The sanctuary was built to receive a shaft of sunlight through a giant ruby at sundown on the winter solstice. The light illuminates the statue of Avatar Roku, making it possible to communicate with him. When Avatar Roku was alive, the previous generations of sages used the sanctuary to communicate with him on the solstice. Now, only Aang is able to communicate with Avatar Roku. The sanctuary doors protect the sanctuary from intruders. These doors can only be opened by either a fully realized Avatar or with five simultaneous fire blasts.
