Roku's island

This small Fire Nation island was home to the previous Avatar, Roku, as well as the site of a once-prosperous village. When Roku was not attending to his Avatar duties, he and his wife, Ta Min, dwelt peacefully in a modest cottage here.

History
In 12 BSC, a volcanic eruption took place that buried the island village in deep ash. The explosion was so powerful that it could be felt over a hundred miles away on the Capital Island. Roku and his dragon, Fang, lost their lives battling the volcanic eruption in the effort to save the island. However, due to Avatar Roku's intervention, the island's inhabitants were able to escape. Despite the devastating damage from the eruption, the village remained preserved to a certain extent, entirely buried beneath layers of ash. The island has since remained barren and lifeless.

Avatar Aang and his friends later visited the island in secrecy so that Roku could share with Aang the story of his past and the origins of the Hundred Year War.
