Kaja

:This article is about the Fire Sage. For other similar uses, see Kya (disambiguation).
Kaja was a Fire Sage who assisted Avatar Roku in mastering the Avatar State.
== History ==
As a Fire Sage, Kaja was chosen to help Avatar Roku learn to control the Avatar State. Roku managed to trigger the state after five months by utilizing the power of the winter solstice sun rather than triggering it on his own. In doing this, he became trapped under its influence and could not control his actions, destroying most of the temple. Kaja eventually managed to free him from the Avatar State and ordered him to rebuild the temple, making it clear to the Avatar that his training would only be continued after the reconstruction. Not long after, Roku managed to master the Avatar State and Kaja's job was complete.
He remained a staunch supporter of Roku after helping him master the Avatar State. Internally, he worked with his fellow Fire Sages to preserve Fire Nation spirituality, and often worked with the Fire Lord on these matters. While Sozin was worried that the popularity of Air Nomad philosophies and teachings among the Fire Nation nobility was eroding Fire Nation traditions, Kaja was not worried. He thought that fads had a way of coming and going among the rich, and his focus was on maintaining tradition for future activities. While he was concerned with what he saw from his nation's subtle moves to expand their reach, he did not want to distract Roku too much from his important international work.Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game. Core Book, Version 1.0, 2022, p. 49.
Following the Air Nomad Genocide, Kaja was the first to make a controversial declaration that the Avatar had not died in the attack.The Lost Scrolls: Fire. Some time later, Kaja fathered a son, who in turn fathered Shyu. Kaja's son fiercely defended his father's views and was eventually executed for defying the Fire Lord.Escape from the Spirit World, Avatar Roku Online Comic Book (Fun fact)Avatar Extras for "Winter Solstice, Part 2: Avatar Roku" on Nicktoons Network.
