Avatar: The Last Airbender
Crisis Committee
Crisis Committee
The Avatar possesses the sole ability to bend all four elements—water, earth, fire, and air—and is therefore tasked with maintaining harmony between nations and realms. Striving to consolidate power, the Fire Nation unleashed a genocide on the Air Nomads and invaded territories across the world, timing their initial attack with Sozin’s comet to maximize their potency. After a century of being trapped in an iceberg, Avatar Aang has to master all four elements before the comet returns to restore the world order and stop the Fire Nation’s cruelty for good.
The Hundred Year War has finally been put to an end by Avatar Aang, who defeated Fire Lord Ozai and took away his bending during the second coming of Sozin’s comet. Thus, former prince Zuko was crowned the new Fire Lord; he vows to create peace among the nations and atone for his father’s actions. However, both the Avatar and Fire Lord Zuko agree that one of the most pressing issues remains: the Fire Nation’s colonies throughout the Earth Kingdom. With this newfound era of harmony, all four nations must work together to create solutions to keep this era alive. Will peace persist, or is revenge against the Fire Nation imminent? Delegates must work together to reestablish, maintain, and prioritize unity after the fall of Ozai’s regime and manage the resurgence of a peaceful Fire Nation.
