Adventure: An Urgent Request 3

Summary
The heroes discover that there is a plot to discredit Princess
Zeisan and the Air Nomads at her pre-wedding symposium to
promote Air Nomad ideals to Fire Nation nobles. The plot was
concocted by Minister Zianda in order to get in the good graces
of the princess’s brother, Fire Lord Sozin. The Fire Lord wants
his sister’s plans stopped and though he has given no official
orders, he has made it clear to his underlings that they must
see his will done. Zianda’s plot to discredit the Air Nomads is
all his own invention, and involves Firebenders pretending to
be Airbenders, disrupting the symposium with anti-nobility
propaganda, and attacking the nobles there. Zianda hopes this
might even help blow up the political marriage between Zeisan
and Khandro, leader of the Guiding Wind, further casting Air
Nomad influence out of the Fire Nation.
Sister Rioshon of the Air Nation uncovers what is happening
and asks the PCs to warn the princess of the plot as she is unable
to do so herself for personal reasons. As they make their way to
the symposium, they are stopped by Tiger-Monkey, a spy sent
to investigate the Air Nomads by nobility, who suspects the PCs
of working against the Fire Nation. The heroes must escape from
Tiger-Monkey or convince him to let them go. When they arrive
at the symposium, they must unmask the Firebenders and pre-
vent them from causing a chaotic incident that will undermine
the Air Nomads in the eyes of the world.

GM Advice
This adventure plays out in a rather straightforward manner. The
companions find out about the plot to disrupt the symposium,
go to the symposium to warn Zeisan, then stop the Firebenders
from disrupting the symposium. While there’s very little that can
go wrong for the heroes in this scenario, they might feel stuck or
railroaded into doing things the right way.
If the heroes are reluctant to interrupt Minister Zianda at
the start of the game, or to directly confront the Firebenders as
they depart, then the heroes may not gain access to the scroll
that points to Zianda’s immediate plans. Sister Rioshon still

the best way to make sure the PCs understand enough of what’s
going on to act. If they don’t have the scroll, she still asks them
to warn the Princess Zeisan about a possible plot to discredit
her. Rioshon has enough information from the Air Nomads
who have been attacked to put the general outline of the plot
together. Even if she doesn’t have confirmation that Minister
Zianda is planning to attack the symposium, she has enough

Drive
Overthrow the reign of her brother, the Fire Lord Sozin,

and restore the Fire Nation’s ruling family to balance
History
Zeisan is the sister of Fire Lord Sozin, second in line to the
throne but born without Firebending. Her teachers and parents
pitted her against Sozin throughout their childhoods. The com-
petitions were meant to drive Sozin to ever greater heights and
to draw Firebending abilities out of Zeisan. When the struggles
between the two failed to transform Zeisan into a Firebender,
her teachers turned their focus entirely upon Sozin. But Zeisan
refused to stop competing, studying, and growing, striving to
prove herself worthy of her family legacy…until she realized,
while studying Air Nomad philosophies, that maybe her family
legacy wasn’t worthy of her.
When Sister Rioshon came to the Fire Nation Capital as a
teacher, Zeisan devoted herself to Air Nomad training, thinking
she might gain new skills that would make her a match for Sozin.
Zeisan connected with Air Nomad philosophies and techniques
in a way no one could have foreseen. She learned Air Nomad
styles of motion and action, and Rioshon even gifted Zeisan
with the secrets of chi-blocking.
Zeisan didn’t just connect with the Air Nomad’s teachings,
however…she connected with Rioshon herself. The two of
them fell in love just as Zeisan’s views of the world were shift-
ing, but they have never felt free to express their love to each
other. While their hearts sang in each other’s presence, Zeisan
had grown to see her family and their legacy as a blight upon
the world. She couldn’t leave her whole life behind to be with
Rioshon, not when she believed that she was the best chance to
fix the Fire Nation. So she did her best to hide her feelings.
Instead of running away from her responsibilities, Zeisan
decided to find a way to dismantle her family’s legacy of cor-

Sister Nyanchi has always been a stubborn free spirit, and
she was chafing at the stodgy teachings at the Eastern Air
Temple where she was born. When Boin arrived on pilgrimage
to the Air Temple to discuss helping the Earth Sages, Sister
Nyanchi saw a kindred spirit and an opportunity. Under
Boin’s tutelage, she could leave the Air Temple, see the world,
and have a good time while doing it. Sister Nyanchi took up
Boin’s mission of spreading the word about the Earth Sages,
and together they have been traveling the world. Recently,
Nyanchi decided that she wanted to visit the Fire Nation, and
she convinced Boin to accompany Rioshon so that the pair
would be in the Fire Nation Capital in time for the upcoming
wedding…even though she had to hand-copy 500 flyers about
the Earth Sages to hand out along with Boin.

Ezra, bereft of other options, took to the streets and
eventually ended up in the Earth Kingdom. There he trained
with Earthbenders to hone his own bending, ultimately
creating a hybridized, forceful way of bending. Now an

boin
the guardian
Boin is an Earthbender and devoted disciple of the Earth
Sages from Omashu. He has been on a mission for the past
few years to educate people across the world about the Earth
Sages, ensuring that people understand how important they
are to the Earth Nation. He has always been a protector, and
will do anything to protect those he deems worthy. Right now,
that’s the Earth Sages, but individuals have won his heart over
as well…individuals like Sister Nyanchi, whom he met while
on pilgrimage to the Eastern Air Temple. She captured his
imagination and he promised the Air Nomads that he would
take care of her while they traveled together. Now he is acting
as her guardian and the two are traveling to the Fire Nation
together, accompanying Rioshon to visit Hari Bulkan and take
part in the celebrations before Zeisan’s wedding.

Moment of Balance
You’ve sworn to protect the people you care about, but

balance is about finding your own place in the world as
well. You know what you’re capable of accomplishing,
and you step up to show the world your unique strength.
Tell the GM how you put your own life on the line to
defeat a villain or danger that seems unstoppable.

zeebee
the rogue
Zeebee is a noble from the Northern Water Tribe. When
she was young, she had a close relationship with Princess
Zeisan, but they have been out of touch for years because
Zeebee left all her wealth and privilege behind. She wanted
to see the world, and as part of that, she decided to join an
outlaw group who valued her waterbending prowess. She has
learned a lot during her time as an outlaw, and never plans
to go back to her life as a noble. She agreed to accompany
Rioshon into the city in part because she heard about
Princess Zeisan’s marriage and wanted to see her friend get
married. She is keeping a low profile because she is worried
that someone might recognize her from her old life..

Moment of Balance
You learned early on that you had to do what you need-

ed to survive, and that sometimes that meant you lost
friends. Now, you find a new balance: rule-breaking isn’t
something that just drives people away—it’s something
you can use constructively, with your friends! Tell the
GM how you lead your companions to break all the rules
and accomplish an incredible feat.
