**Welcome to the Wiki for Avatar: The Tale of Genji**
### A Discord roleplaying community based off the hit animated television series 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' and 'The Legend of Korra'.

**Avatar: The Tale of Genji** is a roleplay community server on Discord, which follows a storyline taking place after The Legend of Korra to focus on the next Avatar: **Genji,** a young man from the Sandbender tribes in the Si Wong Desert.

The purpose of this Wiki is to create an organised archive of information concerning the lore, characters and events that take place during the roleplay.

We are in no way associated with *The Legend of Genji*, a fanon webcomic series that stars another Avatar named Genji. The creation of our own version of Genji, alongside all content similar to, is merely coincidential.

You can join the roleplay and shape your own story within this world **here.**

## Prelude

### State of the World

Fifty-Five years after the Battle for Republic City, Avatar Korra passed away (229 AG). She spent a good deal of that time either traveling the world and carrying out her duties as Avatar, or in the spirit world rebuilding the Avatar Cycle. It was theorized by Tenzin, the first Airbending son of Avatar Aang, that she could restore the connection to her past lives somehow, as despite the connection being broken, the past Avatars still exist in the spirit world. Alas, she could not restore the entire cycle, managing only to restore only a handful of past Avatars, including Aang, Kyoshi, and Yangchen.

### The Avatar

The year is now 249 AG and the Avatar is missing. Shortly after Avatar Korra's death, The White Lotus began searching the Earth Kingdom for the next Avatar. However, there were rumors of infighting within the Order; a splinter faction that still held onto the beliefs of their order, but believed that the role of the “Avatar” was unfair. Why shouldn't the world balance itself? Why couldn't people solve their own problems? Why did they need an Avatar?

The Avatar was found within a year of the search and was identified as the infant son of Takeshi and Asuna Yamada, a minor noble family in Gaoling. But in the dark of night, a handful of these dissenting Lotus Members kidnapped the child. While most of them held off the other Lotus Members, one man by the name of Yun escaped with the child and since then, no one had heard from, or seen him since, nor the Avatar.

Now with war threatening the Earth Kingdom and the Water Tribes, unrest in the Si Wong desert, the looming threat of the Return of the Red Lotus, the World needs the Avatar now more than ever.

## Featured Articles

**Genji Yamada** is a male Sandbender hailing from the Si Wong Desert and the current incarnation of the Avatar, succeeding Avatar Korra. As the Avatar of his time, he is the only person able to bend all four elements: earthbending, firebending, airbending and waterbending. Genji was initally born in Gaoling to the prestigeous Yamada family and quickly identified as the Avatar as an infant, but was kidnapped by Yun from the Blue Lotus and taken away to be raised in Mao Zheng. Genji grew up blissfully unaware of his origins, living a happy life with Yun who he viewed as his biological father. However, everything changed when he was introduced to Nico, which set off events that revealed his identity as the Avatar.

The town of Kamehi on Kamehi Island is the beating heart of the Wayfinders. Kahemi was the very first of many Island settlements founded by the Wayfinders a little over 100 years ago. With a population of just under 3,000 people, Kamehi is the pride and joy of the Wayfinders.
