River village

The river village is a village located in the western Earth Kingdom, situated between the forks of a large river. It serves as a regional trading hub and ideal location for merchants to sell their wares.

History
This town was where Zuko and Iroh traveled to after abandoning the Fire Nation. They were seen begging on the streets for spare coins from Earth Kingdom citizens. In one of these engagements, Iroh sang a silly song to a broadsword man who offered up a gold coin for some entertainment. The man then proceeded to pull out his dual swords on Iroh when he was not being entertaining enough, and finally Iroh earned his pay by dancing, mainly in order to avoid the sword blows aimed at his feet.

This was also where Zuko once again donned his identity as the Blue Spirit after stealing the man's dual swords later that night.

Layout and description
The center of the village is dominated by an immense sandstone structure perched on a hill, while the outskirts are filled with simple bamboo and plaster homes with thatched roofs. The town is surrounded by large rice paddies, which draw their water from the nearby river; many inhabitants fish along it using small reed boats.

On the outskirts is densely forested area, including several caves, in one of which Zuko and Iroh camped out.
