I guess it would have been neat but without something to do the novelty of it would of worn off pretty quick imo.  Staying in the Earth Kingdom and focusing on the conflict created in Book 3's aftermath was the better option from a narrative perscpetive.  Also that temple Korra washed up on during Beginnings was in the Fire Nation.</i></div>
<p>I do think it was important to focus on the aftermath of the Earth Queen's assassination. The temple doesn't really count in my book. We didn't really see the Fire Nation at large. I'm not mad that we didn't see the Fire Nation so much as I am just disappointed.  </p>

<p>Let's just say that my guess is that—unless we get, say, comics—the fact that we <i>didn't</i> see the Fire Nation is going to spawn myriads of continuation fics.  And that I'll probably contribute. </p>

<p>I am upset we did not see the Fire Nation. There would of been plenty to explore. </p><p>1. We probably would've met Mako and Bolin's Fire Nation family </p><p>2.

<p>and Izumi's fire lord portrait. </p>

<p>I think A:TLA focused more on the Fire Nation (Zuko's story) and Air Nomads (Aang's story) more than the other nations. This is why The Legend of Korra focused on the Earth Kingdom, Water Tribe, and United Republic. </p>

<p>Avatar focused on general world (Book One), Earth Kingdom (Book Two), and Fire Nation (Book Three). </p><p>LoK focused on URN (Book One), Water Tribes and Spirit World (Book Two), Air Nation and EK (Book Three), and post-assassination EE (Book Four). </p><p>While the whole Kuvira affair was necessary from a narrative standpoint, I agree that the Fire Nation should have had more representation.

We see Iroh a few times, which is alright, but I want to know about his sister, the one we never see. </p><p>If only there had been a Book Five; then we could have seen the Fire Nation after the war. It was the most technologically advanced Nation in the world in Avatar, and I would have liked to see how it's doing in the world of LoK. </p>

<p>That's just where it took place. A location doesn't mean that it was the main focus. In A:TLA the enemy was the FN and the Avatar was an AN. In TLOK, the villians were mainly WT & EK (EE)...The Avatar was born in the WT but had an EK personality. </p>

<p>That's just where it took place. A location doesn't mean that it was the main focus. </p> </div> <p>In this case, though, it's accurate. All of those seasons focused on the culture/lifestyle/government/etc. of the places they took place in </p>

<p>I would've loved to see the fire nation in the LoK. I too would've liked to see Mako and Boilns fire nation famliy and learn more about their mother. same goes for Zuko and his family.  </p>

<p>This may just be nitpicking on my part, but I think we saw brief glimpses of the Fire Nation. The first was when Korra was attacked by a dark spirit and washed up on Fire Nation shores with amnesia. The second was when she was travelling around the world in the 2-3 years after she defeated the Red Lotus (she was walking along the rim of some volcanos, which I'm assuming were in the Fire Nation). </p>
