History[]
Princess By A Glance[]
When Avatar Rong Yan was escorted by fire temple guards to the docks, he met a fisherman named Unaraq, what he doesn't know is that Unaraq is royalty.
After the fisherman went on his boat and his crew, had set sail back to the Southern Water Tribe. Rong Yan had looked back at the boat and saw a beautiful Water Tribal Princess, he wondered who she was, but she had been rushed by the fisherman to go back into the boat's hold.
Rong Yan still wonders if he'll see the girl again.
Princess In-Person[]
Princess Tanaraq was introduced to Avatar Rong Yan by her father Chief Unirak. Rong Yan had taken a glance at the princess and had recognized her as the girl on the boat eons ago, when she was visiting the Fire Nation on a fishing trip with her brother.
Tanaraq and Rong Yan, had become friends, and who knows maybe even potential lovers. Though the Air Nomad girl that is with Rong Yan has gotten a little jealous due to Rong Yan spending sometime with the princess.
Meeting the Hermit[]
Team Avatar arrives in Ni Juo, where they spend time there for about two weeks. They accomplish a few odd jobs while in town. Tanaraq gets into an argument with Unaraq and slaps him after he calls her a drama queen after defending Aloi.
After this he gets angry and he leaves while his sister instantly regrets hitting him. He wanders off and eventually finds Aloi. Who is also angry at Rong Yan for defending Tanaraq, Aloi, however, finds herself in a love triangle. While Rong Yan is clueless to the whole thing Unaraq takes advantage of this because he grows to like Aloi. They converse and hold hands while they walk through the village.
They find themselves in front of the house of a widow after she shrieks, soldiers had stolen her money. Even after the law in the Oma Kingdom states that widows of soldiers don't pay taxes because their husbands paid with their service to the kingdom.
While Rong Yan and Tanaraq are looking for a missing girl who was kidnapped alongside an old man. With clues given by superstitious citizens who believe the thundering sounds from the mountains were the cause of the disappearances.
Rong Yan and Tanaraq venture to the mountains to find the sound but in the end, only find an abandoned cabin with a firepit. They leave and meet a man named Beiyin who agrees to help them and tells them his father was kidnapped by the soldiers who are supposed to defend the town. He didn't pay his weekly taxes so they're holding his father at ransom. This is when they learn that the girl was kidnapped by the soldiers as well.
The next day the soldiers arrive to rob the widow blind but Aloi and Unaraq are there to stop it. Aloi places a barrier around her and the widow's house and produces a psychic scream that shatters the soldiers' eardrums. The men run away back to their hideout Beiyin, Rong Yan, Tanaraq make their way to the screech off to the northwest and find Unaraq and Aloi there.
Beiyin takes them to a cave where he saw men patrolling he's been scouting the area for a week now. Team Avatar and Beiyin assault the cave and incapacitate all the soldiers, while Beiyin grabs their identification papers and Tanaraq, breaks the chains holding the girl and Beiyin's father with ice.
A week later they return to the cabin separately and Rong Yan and Tanaraq meet the hermit. Rong Yan gasps and is surprised when he sees that the tattoos around the hermit's body are similar to an airbender's but different. The man introduces himself as a Vibrant One a secret organization of soundbenders.
Rong Yan remembers when Aloi told him the story of the soundbenders, eventually Aloi and Unaraq bump into them. Aloi faints as soon as she meets eyes with Giman the soundbender. Most Vibrant Ones have airbender tattoos but children born and raised by parents in the Vibrant Ones master airbending and soundbending and so carry different arrows.
Giman teaches Aloi and Rong Yan through another week of soundbending lessons and helps them make up. Rong Yan learns that Giman can project his spirit with his most trusted friends, he suggests Rong Yan to learn the ability. Rong Yan meets with his past lives who tell him that he could learn if his level of spirituality was high enough or if he takes the pilgrimage from Mun Jin who can help him.
Rong Yan tried to contact Mun Jin but Xi Tong appears instead telling Rong Yan that summoning Mun Jin requires an immense power of spirituality. Mun Jin is an Avatar for legendary proportions and Rong Yan's frustrated because he can't speak with this particular past life.
Northern Water Tribe[]
When Amak's body was found and the investigation deemed it to be an assassination, Cupun anointed Noa in charge of what happens next. The unrest occurred in Cupun's palace an hour later, Ambassador Dashi was accused of espionage and arrested despite having diplomatic immunity. Elder Noa and the other nobles agreed to debate on what occurs next in his estate. He even went as far as to threaten Ambassador Thod and Avatar Rong Yan with arrest.
The next morning while Cupun and Tulok were in a meeting with the Court of Elders. Sokka and the other guards found Amak's body after a woman discovered it in the alley. The investigations done by the other guards after Sokka left suspected that white jade poison was used.
The test consisted of a droplet of white jade poison mixing with a drop of blood if it coagulated then it was the poison the man suspected. Sokka had run to Elder Noa's estate to find Cupun and Tulok and give them the grim news.
The royal guards found the planted evidence the dagger of Qianda Kingdom design, the passports and the scroll with the forged signature of Earth King Qiang Zhen.
When Sokka arrived to the meeting he disrupted it to speak with the chief and the prince. After he gave the news it sparked outrage and panic amongst the elders. Which led to events that Cupun and Tulok were unaware of while they arranged the burial of their fallen relative.
Ashuna and her temple workers received the body from the guards who carried it there, she investigated the body where she called an old friend of hers. An alchemist that specialized in poisons named Mamittuk. Mamittuk identified the poison with the same method that the royal guard used as a white jade plant.
When Cupun and his family were escorted to the prayer room, Yakone one of the young seers gave Cupun a vision. Yakone became the medium for Torngark and La who warned Cupun of treachery within the tribe and a war with the Qiangda Kingdom. Cupun accepted the prediction from the future but forgot about it when it came to the burial of his nephew and the wedding of his son.
When the family arrived she performed all the needed rituals to prepare the body for burial and the soul toward the afterlife. After the rituals were done the body was buried in a cavern near the spirit forest above the city of Aupaluk. Where every royal was buried even to the very first chief himself.
The next day during the Spring Equinox he married his bride-to-be Tanaraq in front of friends and family. Anatkuk was the elder shaman who began the rituals with the assistance of Ashuna. According to tradition, the husband represents Tiandi and most protect the wife who represent Akna. The husband bows to the statuette of Tiandi to accept the terms of marriage, as the wife bows to the statuette of Akna to accept the terms of marriage.
The couple drinks from a chalice which contains a special drink made of mountain berries, bear berries, and water. The chalice drink represents being one, after this, the couple kiss to seal the deal.
In 655 BG, Cupun steps down from the throne and joins the war with his men and Unirak.
