History
The five sages live at the Fire Nation sanctuary on Crescent Island. They are wise spiritual leaders as well as powerful Firebenders. Their job is to watch over the sanctuary, protect it from invaders, and serve The Avatar. In the past the Fire Sages would help find the Avatar born into the Fire Nation, teach the Avatar to master Firebending, and also master the Avatar State. They used to be completely loyal to the Avatar and the Avatar alone.

After Avatar Roku died, Fire Lord Sozin started the war. The Fire Lord set forth a decree that anyone who helps the Avatar will be considered a traitor to the Fire Nation and dealt with appropriately. The Fire Sages then switched their allegiance to the Fire Lord. When Aang first entered the Avatar State all the avatar temples around the world were notified, including the Fire Temple.

When Aang and his friends decide that Aang must speak to Avatar Roku, they decide to travel to Crescent Island to speak with him during the Winter Solstice. The Sages soon discovered his presence and tried to catch him. Fire Sage Shyu, the only sage still loyal to the Avatar led him to the sanctuary. The other four Fire Sages are tricked into opening the sanctuary doors, letting Aang in. After Aang spoke with Roku, Roku manifested himself in Aang and destroyed the Fire Temple by setting off the volcano.

The Fire Sages have another located in the Fire Nation Capital.
