History


The 46th Earth King was a mighty Earth King who ruled Ba Sing Se during the time of Avatar Kyoshi. During his tenure there was a peasant revolt, and he summoned Avatar Kyoshi to his court to keep the populace in line. Kyoshi refused and told the Earth King he had to listen to his people. When Kyoshi refused to help him, the king had his guards try to arrest her. In turn she defeated his guards. The King eventually agreed that Kyoshi train an elite group of Earthbenders to protect the cultural heritage of Ba Sing Se, which became the Dai Li.
