Fire Sages Capital Temple

The Fire Sages Capital Temple is a temple located in the Fire Nation Capital, directly north of the Fire Lord's palace. It is run by the Fire Sages, and holds secret catacombs beneath it, referred to as the Dragon Bone Catacombs. It is here where the fire Avatars go after being told of their status, as Avatar Roku did.

History
Despite the Fire Sages being forced under the rule of the Fire Lord, they still had significant religious power, which included the ownership of the temple.

Prince Zuko visited the temple to learn about the demise of his great grandfather, and how it would help him realize his own destiny. He sneaked into the temple at night, and followed a Fire Sage into the Dragon Bone Catacombs. While in the chambers, he found and read the Final Testament of Fire Lord Sozin, his great grandfather. Instead, he found out about the demise of his other great grandfather, Avatar Roku, through Iroh.

Description
The temple's architectural layout was not shown very well, although it seems to be very similar to the temple on Crescent Island. The temple is divided into three sections, and surrounded by a small wall. An entrance to the catacombs beneath it is placed near the entrance of the temple, and can only be opened using firebending.

Dragon Bone Catacombs


The Dragon Bone Catacombs are underground passageways located beneath the temple that hold many rooms and many secrets about Fire Nation history. A narrow hallway leading to Sozin's coffin room is aligned with the skulls of dead dragons. In the room, a statue of Sozin containing the testament can be found, and it can only to be opened with firebending. The catacombs are lit by several torches perched on the walls. It is possible that all the other corpses of past Fire Lord are in the catacombs, though this has not been confirmed. The catacombs hold the testaments of all previous fire lord. They wrote them normally before there death.
