Trivia

 * The plot developments of The Promise graphic novel series foreshadow many of the developments in the Avatar World, revealed at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, which takes place before the time of Legend of Korra. Via her founding of a school for metalbenders in The Promise, Toph becomes a wandering metalbending teacher and the founder of the metalbender cops of Republic City; because of the Earth King's and Fire Lord Zuko's struggle to settle the issue of the Fire Nation colonies in the Earth Kingdom after the War's end, Republic City is eventually built; there are even hints at the tension which will eventually lead to the Equalist revolution against the bending population of the Avatar world in Legend of Korra.
 * The entirety of The Promise graphic novel series, minus the very beginning of the first novel (which takes place right after the series finale of Avatar: The Last Airbender), takes place within a single week, one year after the finale.
