It was fun making a fantasy map for once. I wanted to include some of Avatar Yangchen's or Avatar Szeto's stuff but unfortunately there are almost no canonical dates. Either way, enjoy!
Hi @EmperorTigerstar why not try make fantasy or fiction maps More of this see everyone like it or not
Make about Cats-Warriors. Wars of ThunderClan, ShadowClan, RiverClan, WindClan, BloodClan etc.
I don't know much of the history of Avatar but I really enjoy your mapping content. Keep the good work 👏. Best wishes!
@@user-mv7xi1ey4z Omg, that series was my childhood!
There might be in the future so hope 😀
It feels rather ominous that the ATLA World's equivalent to "before Christ - after Christ" is "before genocide" and "after genocide"
To be fair, I don't think its actually used in universe. Its a fan made dating system.
Well, makes sense. Remember that it's still a Nickelodeon cartoon. Something had to be toned down for that@@Mav12able
According to the game Avatar Generations, the Before/After Genocide dating system is used in at least some contexts. Though that might be a result of some writer desperately needing a calendar and picking the least bad option.
Most Avatar media doesn't mention calendars or anything, but there are passing references to a few systems; Wan Shi Tong's eras (no one knows how they work), a traditional calendar counting the number of days in the current Avatar's life (no one wants to use it because it's impractical), and possibly the Chinese zodiac (listed on the wiki with no citations explaining its relevance).
Its like the star wars bby and aby.
It better be worth it than using Fire Nation or Earth Kingdom regnal calendars, where every period of history resets at the death or intent of a single person dedicated to and being in charge of the calendar
The single frame of "Phoenix Empire".... Ozai really thought that was gonna be something
Bro really out here being phoenix king for like 2 hours
1000 year empire turned to maybe a solid 10 minute and 22 seconds
@@Eltoyotacorolla Basically a roid rage lol
You mean, the LOSER LORD?
🥴🥴🥴
Lord of getting his butt whooped.
1:50 this is the moment everything changes when the fire nation attacks
Which is presumably why the music also changes then.
Yeah, I noticed how, for the first minute and forty-nine seconds of the video, all the nations were living together in harmony. Then I noticed how everything changed at 1:50 when the Fire Nation attacked.
@@lettuce141 I also noticed that only the avatar, master of all four elements could stop them, but when the world needed him Most, he vanished
Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony.
*Kyoshi letting Earth Kingdom almost get conquered in 271BG*
Sounds like everything changed when the Earth Kingdom went into civil war, but that doesn't sound as cool
@@ReikerForge Things returned to the status quo pretty quickly, aside from a peninsula turning into an island. The Fire Nation attack, not so much. A whole nation was annihilated!
Love how you made Kyoshi island into an actual island throughout the video
happens at 0:56
Very funny how most of the large scale conflicts were resolved by a single decisive battle.
Chin the Conquerer: defeat at Kyoshi Peninsula (island)
Fire Nation: defeat at Wulong forest and recapture of Ba Sing Se
Kuvira: defeat at Republic City
The avatar world seems to work on cults of personalities. Probably because the most powerful bender tends to be the leader of a nation/rebellion. Once they fall the movements they started seem to die off.
@@francogiobbimontesanti3826 it’s also reminiscent of the ancient world where militaristic tribes would have a single army running around (the general being the tribe’s leader) and if that army is defeated the entire tribe is defeated and all its tributaries immediately become independent because no one is paying people to collect their taxes anymore
It’s semi realistic to how if the king died in battle they were basically screwed
An ancient example would probably be Alexander chasing Darius lll across half the known world and a semi modern example would be Charles XII getting shot in the head during a siege in the great northern war and them basically giving Russia everything they wanted after.
Monarchies are super centralized so without the head it’s hard to function.
If you want to see the aftermath and the heros cleaning up the problems that are left you should read the comics.
yeah its really weird that zuko was just able to assume the throne of a highly militaristic totalitarian state and face absolutely no resistance (minus one weird cult kidnapping kids in the capital which turned out to be azula after they ruined her character) when surrendering a war they had already won
Chin really did go hard
then he died and his whole empire as well
@@waffle6376 he seemingly didn't even have generals who all claimed their own regions of the Earth Kingdom. They just all disappeared after Chin died
@@Spongebrain97roman empire in an alternate dimension:
Knowing Kyoshi she probably gave them very good reasons for not trying to follow in Chin’s steps.
Yeah, the Fire Nation was really slow compared to him
I would argue that the majority of the Air Nomad islands were under Fire Nation control. Obviously they didnt occupy the temples, but the ports and small villages would have probably been major centres of power for the Fire Nations Navy.
If the Air Nomads are like real world nomads, they likely didn't have ports and villages. Thats not to say the Fire Nation wouldn't potentially settle and develop some.
@@MichaelonyoutubI would guess that they were a bit like Tibet - temples acting as strongholds for semi-feudal monks, ruling over a serf-like peasants in nearby villages and small port towns. Afterall, the air nomads will need food and limited international trade at least, in order to acquire resources which aren't found locally. They will also need harbours to fascilitate travel to other temples and islands.
Also, where do the children of air nomads go who aren't air-benders go? Are they just sent off into exile? Sorry little baby, you weren't born right. So we're just going to leave you on a rock to die. That really doesn't seem the air-nomad way. More likely there were local communities of people related and connected to the temples, but weren't actual air-benders.
(The name nomad is a bit of a misnomer - they lived in static temples. They weren't actually very nomadic.)
@@solsunman383unlike the other nations, all the air nomads were benders
@@solsunman383The high spirituality of the airbender culture has the nice side effect that all of their children (Assuming the Nomad's partner is not from another nation) end up being airbenders.
We have no evidence for that other than the southern raiders and northern air temple
There looks to be an error around 2:54 - there was no war in Ba Sing Se
But there's a war going on out there D:
There was no war. Azula, Mei and TyLee staged a coup
Oh that drill? That is just the latest fire nation machinery, used for the earth kingdom of course. You know you can't trust domestic machinery.
@@monariza. Yes they did and the military of the Fire Nation blew the walls down, however, the fate of the rest of the territories under the control of the Earth Kingdom was not specified so if some could imagine that the real military continued the fight down South or that Azula took control over the entire nation and gave the order of the soldiers to stand down.
@@everythingsalright1121, the Earth King has invited you to Lake Laogai.
It's cool as hell.
There are things that Interpret differently. For example I don't think Omashu's autonomy was very unique. Before Kuvira it was said that Earth King had very little influence in all of the Earth Kingdom but Ba Sing Se, and central interferention was mostly limited to taxation and conscription.
Also I think that Fire Nation captured way more, probably encircling Omashu before taking it. There was Fire Nation army near Chin-Kyoshi island as well, it was showed twice.
It's true. The Earth Kingdom essentially worked like the H.R.E, only that the Emperor (Earth King) wasn't elected.
The most power the Earth King had over the other Kings of Omashu and Tienhaishi was simply tax reasons, the other territories were mainly just military.
@@Douchey_Elkmen IRC they said some Earth Kings/Queens exherted more authority but yeah for the most part the Earth Kingdom was very decentralized.
Omashu is basically only unique in that they let the leader also call himself King and wear very nice things even if he is still ultimately supposed to be subservent to the leader of the Earth Kingdom (so really he's more like a Prince or a Duke).
@@thewalrus45In practicality Omashu may not be in too much of a different status, but compared to rest of the "cities" of Earthly provinces, Omashu seems to be very, VERY unique and powerful, it is only second to that one city to the northwest of Earth Kingdom we see in Roku's lifestory so far, and even that might fall short. Literally.
Yeah but Omashu was still unique in the fact that it had it's own king so it's likely that it was more independant than other earth kingdom provinces.
@@stadtrepublikmulhausen4121 Maybe titles were different, but in LoK we could see leaders of other regions, which means most of regions should have similar system.
Finally, I've been waiting for a good Avatar map for way too long. This is amazing, I especially love how accurate the Sun Warriors and Kyoshi Island is in this. Though I think the Fifth Nation controlled some of the Earth Kingdom and Air Nomad coastlines.
The Fifth Nation actively raided coasts under Avatar Yangchen but technically didn’t outright control them.
@@EmperorTigerstarWhy was an Avatar doing raiding, i thought they were supposed to keep the Peace?
And Why was the fifth Nation only on boats
@@enderkatze6129You shouldn't question the Avatars - Kyoshi probably warcrimed a lot of peeps.
Wait where are the Sun Warriors and Kyoshi Island?
@@enderkatze6129I believe Tigerstar means it happened during Yangchen's life.
The details like the Kyoshi Island getting separated from the rest of the Earth Kingdom, the firts invation of Ba Sing Se or the complete annihilation of the Air Nomads were perfect.
Good video.
"And then it all changed when the Fire Nation attacked..."
1:50
THEY NEED MORE TANKS
The superior group should have more territory they deserve it
@@MikehMike01 well I've heard this before
Let them cook..
I guess we're waiting for the Water Tribe's and Air Nomad's turns at painting the map.
That's the equivalent of Iceland taking over the world but seeing as Mongolia once took over most of Asia I guess anything is possible lol
I would be surprised if the Air Nomads painted anything at this point.
@@KurusuPanda Mongolia taking over Asia wasn't that surprising. The Turkic and Mongolian tribes established many large empires throughout history. The Huns are also a good example. Although, none where as successful as Genghis Khan ofcourse.
@@AG26498 i guess its because they are and they were pretty low populations, but horse is OP no matter if your population is low, if you have a powerful weapon and genious tactics such as Temujin had, you can conquer the world with a small army i guess
@@timothymcleanBro they painted the walls with their blood 🫠
I always assumed the Fire Nation took over all of the Earth kingdom, save for areas like the swamp and desert that weren't worth the effort.
They were able to take a majority of the centralised districts, as they had also captured their strongest generals in Ba Sing Se. But the decentralised areas, as well as rebels, were still around.
@@bunceman4613 I guess it does make sense. If the Earth Kingdom was totally conquered, they wouldn't have tried to burn a bunch of it down.
Its crazy because you would think that by the time Aang awoke from the ice. The Fire Nation would have conquered the entire Earth Kingdom. But it seems like even after occupying Ba Sing Se, almost half of the entire continent remained outside of their grasp. I suppose that must have been the portion of the Earth Kingdom that Ozai wanted to burn down with Sozin's Comet.
@@barbiqueareaAbout half of the unconquered lands were part of the Si Wong desert. The Earth Kingdom essentially retained the Eastern and maybe souther coastline.
They controlled all major strategic interests in the Earth Kingdom, the rest was occupation areas and insurgent zones. You don't need to conquer everything to achieve world domination.
Chin the conqueror must of been some military genius to have conquered basically the whole earth kingdom in less than a decade
He was a great man, but unfortunately his stubbornness killed him
Kuvira did it in half the time. No praise for her?
@@zero95lucky dayum just proves how incompetent the fire nation army must of been 💯💯💯
@@Killerqueen69420I know this is just a joke but the circumstances are vastly different; Chin and Kuvira formed their respective empires using the traditional and acceptable mantle of the Earth Kingdom. Fire Nation really spooked everyone out into resisting properly instead of everyone enjoying autonomy and isolation until they didn't.
It's easy when you are conquering your own country rather that a foreign one,which in that case,Chin was also a Revolutionary. If Chin had had the technology Kuvira had it,which is the equivalent to the technology of the first half of the 20th Century (minus the Giant Robot),he would have conquer the Earth Kingdom in the same time or less that Kuvira.
One of the most interesting histories in media
you are NOT vsauce
@@personhuman2239Or is he?
**Vsauce music plays**
As a kid I thought it was insanely stupid for Ozai to burn down the Earth Kingdom using Sozin's Comet. Because even if the Fire Nation had to face rebellions, it won't do them any good to turn the land they've been conquering for 100 years into ash and smoke, while also wiping out most of their tax paying subjects living there. But seeing how more than half of the Earth Kingdom was still out of their grasp. It now makes total sense that he would go down the total annihilation route and choose to eliminate the part of the Earth Kingdom that was still not under his control.
I mean the other reason is just that he couldn't care less about taxes and subjects, he just wants irrefutable clout and supremacy, no matter who dies in the process. The Fire Lords long stopped caring about the explicit prosperity of their kingdoms after Sozun's death, as the tactics of the fire nation gradually shifted from occupation to assimilation to full-on annihilation in the earth kingdom
It seems to me that Azulon still maintained Sozin's strategies. Ozai who changed the ideology of leading the Fire Nation's civilization through occupation and assimilation (a strategy that Azula would still use incorporating the Dai Li into the Fire Nation), to simply subjugation at any cost to the point of having an admiral willing to kill the Moon.
@@wellingtonsh1 Not sure if it's fair to blame the last one on Ozai though, it's unclear. At best Ozai seems rather ambivalent towards spirits; he's certainly willing to genocide multiple entire cultures and a race of spiritual dragons to get his way, but we don't know if his blatant disrespect of life extends to the Spirit World or if he's more worried about projecting power and might have some idea that invading the spirits would open yet another front to his war.
Most likely, Zhao needed a secret move to debilitate the water benders, and Zhao being a raving narcissist was willing to literally destroy one of the two most important celestial bodies on earth to get an advantage and solidify his legacy.
While the Fire Nation does often have war room meetings that involves Ozai directly, and they do have their own network of Messenger Hawks which seems pretty unique to the Fire Nation, all of the generals and admirals would have to operate on some level of autonomy from Ozai's oversight. Zhao seems to keep the entire Spirit Oasis thing a secret even from Iroh up until just before he executes his plan, so I doubt Ozai knew about the Spirit Oasis or ordered Zhao to kill them.
Though let's be real if he _did_ know about it, and heard that destroying the moon would destroy all waterbenders forever, he would definitely be all for that in a heartbeat.
Respect for the men of the 41st division who covered Iroh”s retreat from Ba Sing Se. Especially Lu Ten”s 2nd battalion.
Are you confusing a fanfic for canon? There isn't any material on the siege or its aftermath from any canon source I know (There is the upcoming The Bounty Hunter and the Tea Brewer, but that's not out until May). The 41st is only mentioned re: Zuko's banishment and Lu Ten's involvement in the siege isn't given to a specific unit.
@@Mav12able tis a joke dude, let the man larp 😔
Why would i reapect the fascist invaders?
Wasn't the reason Iroh couldn't take the city because his son died?
@@tntsummers926 I haven't looked into the exact details but one potential explanation would be that Iroh's son dying pulled wool of his eyes, making him realize that the siege is untenable and trying to continue would just throw away all his men like he did with his son. It would make more sense than "oh no my son died, I'm too sad to finish this. Let's go home."
Also, are specific details ever given? Entering 100% fanfic territory: what if Iroh's son also could see the situation being really dire, and volunteered for, if not an outright suicide mission, some kind of highly risky gambit to turn the tide in Fire Nation's favour? Imho, it would fit almost perfectly with the guilt that Iroh feels - he could've deemed the mission too risky and apply that to the siege as whole. Instead his son had to die for Iroh to come to his senses.

Can we just appreciate the in 100 years the fire nation didn’t even take over the entire earth kingdom but in just 3 years the “great Uniter” took over the whole of the earth kingdom
Gotta appreciate Kuvira and her skills. 👍🏻
Kuvira tricked the earth kingdom people into supporting her
Honestly an army of earth benders is waaay more terrifying to deal than an army of firebenders, the fire nation did all the damage they did because of Sozin comet for the first strike and their highly advanced tech, ships and weapons, and the fact the Dai Li screwed big time by alienating the Earth King and the entirety of the capital city basically leaving every province fighting by itself
Realistically speaking, earth bend is way overpowered in war periods, creating entire landscapes, walls, fortifications while every individual of your army being an walking trebuchet is just OP, the fact is Azula pretty much defeated the Earth Kingdom when she took control of the Dai Li, just because the earthbend they had
Kuvira had an army of earth benders herself, the support of the people, and the fact the entirety of the earth kingdom was basically dismantled and not united at all, also she IS from there, she knows every hint and trick necessary, being from terrain knowledge or millitery info, to defeat and subdue every other province
One benefit is her technology. With her train, she could move through the entire kingdom SOOOO much faster than the firebenders, who had a few vehicles but they were limited
Because the fire nation had to fight an actuall army instead of some rug tag militia men

More info
Camilla-Peony war, essentially a royal succession crisis in the fire nation from the crowning of Zoryu to the 290s BG.
Yellow neck rebellion - the entire rebellion was held by some cultist who wanted to make a nation that only existed in his mind or on paper. Members of the revolt grew erratic, going on killing sprees before the revolt would be crushed.
War of Chin the Conqueror - Chin was a governor presumably in the Northwest, during his governorship, the 46th king, who was corrupt, ascended to the throne, the 46th emperor's incompetence, failures, and corruption led to him starting an uprising presumably with popular support. Despite the military estimates being unknown, it can be infered that either Chin had a large army from the start or Earth Kingdom troops defected. The rebellion collapsed after Chin's confrontation with Kyoshi.
Era of peace - the Pax Britannica of this world, lasted a century and was started by Kyoshi.
Water Tribe - Earth Kingdom naval standoff - caused by a dispute over naval boundaries, lasted from 14 BG to the beginning of the Airbender Genocide.
The Hundred-year war - A war that lasted exactly 100 years that encompassed the globe. The war was marked by the Fire Nation invading a large part of the world and subduing certain areas, EX: Southern Water Tribe. The war ended in an allied coalition victory after the battle at wulong forest.
Dai Li Coup - Earth King Kuei had arrested City Secretariat, Long Feng, and shortly after, the "Kyoshi Warriors" (in truth, Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee) would arrive and, after finding out about the arrest of Long Feng, decided to make a deal with him and became essentially the leadership of the Dai Li in all but name, Azula would forge a plan that would be orchestrated as a 1-by-1 takeout mission that goes from the council of 5 to the Earth King himself. Azula crowned herself as Queen of the Earth Kingdom and the Dai Li would tear down part of the wall shortly after, letting the Fire Nation in. The fate of the rest of the lands that the Earth Kingdom controlled before the Dai Li coup is unknown, but one of the Dai Li Officers in one episode mentioned "The Council of 5 and the Military remain loyal to the Earth King" so it can be assumed that Azula only ruled in Ba Sing Se and had to deal with a civil war after the coup.
Collapse of the Earth Kingdom - occurred after the death of the queen to anarchists. The entire nation quickly collapsed into either full anarchy or warlords, being united by an Interim Government which would turn into a Nazi-Like Dictatorship.
YES, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!

You should do fantasy maps more often. It's more content & this was pretty good
Omg yes I’v been BEGGING for this
I was wondering if you were going to do this. Are you going to do other fantasy maps over time?
Air 'nomads' seem awfully stationary despite their name
I think they moved between the temples a lot, by air.
They frequently traveled around the world and moved between temples. Men lived in the southern and northern temples, females in the eastern and western, and kids growing up seemed to have to visit all of these places as part of their airbender training and culture.
The nomads do not seem like a civilization or nation like the others but rather like just a priestly caste since the air nomads seem to be formed exclusively by benders, while the benders were a very small portion (an elite) of the other peoples.
Finally a quality video of the avatar world, there were a few already but poorly translated to english

Love it! Finally a pretty accurate map. Though arguably after the 100 year war, the air temples were given back to the Air Nomads. No one was gonna interfere and Aang had free reign. The Northern Air Temple even went back into their control prior to harmonic convergence
I love how the Fire Nation basically didn't suffer any losses after the 100 years war
Kinda similar to the Japan situation honestly. They lost their colony pre-war (Korea for Japan and Yu Dao for Fire Nation),
Fire Nation faced unstability after the war. Zuko was pretty unpopular at the start. By the time Izumi comes, things must've calmed down.
Because in all honesty, they havent lost the war because their armies fell apart, they lost the war because they lost their leadership to the Avatar and Zuko prevented Aang from going across multiple battlefields to force them to surrender essentially. They lost the Northern fleet, the sky fleet with most of their elite gyards etc... and whatever troops were in Ba Sing Se and Omashu.
They still had enough to fight
This was brilliantly done!
I would be so here for more fantasy map content

I was confusing it for another temple.
Can you tell me which tool do you use for mapping? I want to create my own fantasy map
Wasn't southern water tribe basically under fire nations control?
Nah they were constantly on the defensive as we see in episode 1
The issue with the map is that it is not accurate. We know from ATLA Season 3 I think in Zuko's reading of scrolls from the life of Sozin that Avatar Roku confronted Sozin over territorial gains made in the Earth kingdom a couple of decades prior to Roku's death. These were given back I believe. Granted we don't have any information on where but one could wager the Hu Xin colonies would be the likely candidates.
From what I could find, the colony was not given back. Sozin was ordered to stop further colonizing. Nothing I found indicated the land was returned, and lore implied Yu Dao was a continuous colony throughout.
amazing job, by any chance can you look into other fantasy lands?
YES YES YES I LOVE THIS! MORE fantacy battle line maps please!
might i recommend some of the gundam series. Gundam wing would be a fun mess.
Can't wait for the new earthbender series to come out. that would mean more content to add to this.

Iroh took never took over any part of Ba Sing Se. He couldn't even make it past the first wall let alone the others, remember it was a 600 day siege!
There was no time Ba Sing Se was occupied, let alone a part of it. Do I have to remind you that it's the most secure place in Earth Kingdom?

It was occupied, but only once and that was after Azula took over using the Dai Li. Which is why the White Lotus decided to free it.
Did you not watch the show? Iroh left after right destroying part of a wall, there was no occupation, they just destroyed part of a wall
@@ImJustBob _There is no war in Ba Sing Se._
It Never made sense to me that the northern air temple was on earth kingdom teritory

As a History Lover and Avatar Fan, I love this so much!
Is this inspired by Kayra Atakan’s video? If so, cool! I like the additional detail as a fan of avatar
Wasn't the Southern Watertribe basically occupied? I mean all water benders were kidnapped, and Zuko sailed there with impunity. Also, the Air nomads were completely wiped out, assuming that all Air Temples were conquered?
The Fire Nation was more focused on managing the Earth Kingdom. He sent troops to the Southern Water Tribe just to kill/capture the waterbenders. Zuko could have just sailed into Wolf Cove because the Water Tribe was already too depleted to put up any meaningful resistance.
Not occupied, occupied means they had a permanent base there, they were just devastated
I never thought I'd see the day
I feel like there should be more stuff before and after the original series.
Great video! The world of Avatar was and still an interesting fantasy world to this day. Haven't been watching this series for a very long time and I enjoyed both the last airbender and legend of korra. When Aang was still the Avatar, the Fire Nation was at the peak of its empire, almost everything under their control except the Northern Water tribe.
But when Korra became his successor, many things and events changed. Though I know her own homeland in the South had a rebellion, didn't realized it became a separate independent state contrast to its northern part even though they share the same element after the defeat of the Vaatu (Unalaq). Korra's reign was also what the Air Nation was revived due to the miracle of Air bending has returned to the world, but that also means unexpectedly another villain will appear; Zaheer, a terrorist leader (Red Lotus) whom recently acquired it as well, quickly learned and used his skill to escape from prison. His forces later sacked Ba Sing Se and assassinated the Queen, leaving Earth Kingdom into anarchy and disintegrated between separate factions. He also managed to defeat Korra though failed to kill her, but in the end his effort of bringing an end to the Avatar cycle was ruined when she rose and strike back. Even after defeating Zaheer, Korra felt useless and hopeless, isolating herself much from involving herself in the world affairs. Her isolation was what Kuvira, Earth general, rose to power. She managed to reunify the Earth Kingdom & eventually usurped authority from the useless Kid-King to become a Dictator. She almost conquered the Republic's capital but was disturbed and defeated by Korra when she gained herself confidence and hope. Thus, the Avatar restored the Earth Kingdom though the King no longer has the authority to rule, more less he becomes a symbolic one.
Amongst all these nations around Korra, only the Fire Nation was peaceful and had no incident.
Though IMO, you could have make some descriptions regarding the Avatars and events that happened. Once again, great video and I enjoyed it!
Yeah the South and the North officially split and became their own states at the end of Korra Book 2, it's mentioned in the speech Korra gives at the end. Though really for the most part the South was mostly autonomous for the longest time anyway with their own chieftian and all who just served "officially" under the Northern one.
It’s crazy how the Earth kingdom was losing to the fire nation, and that the Earth Kings had no idea that there was even a war going on.
Nice video 👍
I disagree with the notion that Omashu was unique in its degree of autonomy. Personally, I believe that the entire Earth Kingdom was incredibly decentralized and that there were dozens of Omashu-like kingdoms that were largelly independent but recognized Ba-sing-se's unique status. Something analogous to Spring and Autumn period in china.
If this really is accurate I had no idea Zaofu was so far away from the U.R. The show made it seem like it was just a hop skip jump across some mountains.
