The World of Avatar: Every Year 

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!

It feels rather ominous that the ATLA World's equivalent to "before Christ - after Christ" is "before genocide" and "after genocide"

The single frame of "Phoenix Empire".... Ozai really thought that was gonna be something

1:50 this is the moment everything changes when the fire nation attacks

Love how you made Kyoshi island into an actual island throughout the video

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

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.

Chin really did go hard

There looks to be an error around 2:54 - there was no war in Ba Sing Se

"And then it all changed when the Fire Nation attacked..."

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.

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.

Chin the conqueror must of been some military genius to have conquered basically the whole earth kingdom in less than a decade

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

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.

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 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.

Respect for the men of the 41st division who covered Iroh”s retreat from Ba Sing Se. Especially Lu Ten”s 2nd battalion.

I guess we're waiting for the Water Tribe's and Air Nomad's turns at painting the map.

One of the most interesting histories in media

Fun fact: s02e05 of Avatar contained one of the first mapping animations, showing the rise of Qin's Empire.

2:37 600 Day Siege of Ba Sing Se.

The music going from calm ancient vibes to "now shit hits the fan" out of nowhere as the map catches of fire to the beat its kind if amusing ngl.

I’ve never seen this show but “phoenix empire” goes hard

This needs a version 2 that a dot/line shows avatar's location or route at each episode.

I've always wanted someone too make a video just like this and even better that it is done by you.

A Song of Ice and Fire next?

Great work on this one my dude! what a banger\

I just started to watch avatar for first time since i was a kid, and now you make this video, it feels like you've read my mind, i like your content, I hope you continue making anime maps like this.

An inaccuracy is that during the 100 years war, the Fire Nation attempted to invade the Northern Water Tribe in 15 AG. Source: Siege of the North Part 1 Hahn: [Irritably.] Of course they do. These are real uniforms captured from actual Fire Navy soldiers. Sokka: [Sarcastically.] When, like, a hundred years ago? Arnook: Eighty-five. The siege happend in 100 AG so 100 - 85 = 15

2:56 well, by the end of the war Fire nation must have controlled the areas around Northern Air temple too, otherwise where the troops in the episode came from? Despite that, I'd say that's the most precise video on avatar history I've seen. Great job!

My friend just got me into Avatar, this is great, wonderful job, keep up the amazing work!

YES I WANTED THIS FOR SO LONG THANK YOU

I've been waiting for this for actual years

ever since kayra did their vid I was wondering if anyone else would try it. glad to see its you.

Really cool seeing a map video of Pandora 😊

Tigerstar and ATLA? Count me in Tbh Avatar's creator did a great job with adding a detailed map to their world. You can really feel the immersion. Heck when I was into mapping one of the first maps I made was an ATLA one.

YES, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!

Tigerstar making maps of a fictional world was something i wasn't expecting but it's a really good suprise. hopefully there will be more of the same type !

There is no war in Ba Sing Se

Currently reading the first Kyoshi novel and I love it. She may be my favorite Avatar now.

EmperorTigerstar doing an Avatar mapping video dreams do really cone true

Really cool video, love the world of Avatar and it's geography and history.

You should do fantasy maps more often. It's more content & this was pretty good

Thank you for the video, was a good watch

OMG SO COOL! Well done Tigerstar!

It was fun seeing something from a show I loved as a kid being broadcasted on a channel that has history, something I also love

Omg yes I’v been BEGGING for this

Finally a quality video of the avatar world, there were a few already but poorly translated to english

I’ve been waiting for this one

This was brilliantly done!

I like how the fire Nation is shaped like a flame

What is this small island in the middle of the map. The equator . It's name is sacred island, water tribe. What's this. 2. Sunwarrios were their own independent small tiny island? I suppose. 3. I just love kioshi island detaching from mainland. Brilliant. 4. Flat earth?

Air 'nomads' seem awfully stationary despite their name

This is going to be good i love this series

I never knew how much I wanted this until now

I would be so here for more fantasy map content

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.

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 was wondering if you were going to do this. Are you going to do other fantasy maps over time?

I didn't expect this. This feels like something an avatar channel would do, but I digress

Finally! You did this!

This was a really cool watch, though I wish there was maybe a pause when big changes happen so I can watch it on normal speed without needing to scroll back constantly to see all the little changes.

Can't wait for the new earthbender series to come out. that would mean more content to add to this.

I just started rewatching Avatar a few days ago what a coincidence

I clicked on this thinking it was gonna be about the Avatar movies I’m pleasantly surprised!

Also man Fire Nation for all their hype tech and shit took 100 years to do half of what Chin and Kuvira did in just a handful of years.

Nice video 👍

Dude I was just rewatching Avatar this just cam out

I was literally looking for a video like this yesterday omg

FINALLY! i have a map to use for my Avatar DnD game!

i love the way how kyoshi island is split from mainlad 0:56

I know it only happened for four years, but Chin's conquest of the whole Earth Kingdom super-continent is terrifyingly impressive. Even Omashu was conquered. Literally, only the "Impenetrable City" didn't fall. And he did it before the Industrial Age that started during the Hundred Year War. Absolutely wild. Highkey, Kyoshi should have stopped him sooner. Visualizing it on a map really puts that into perspective.

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.

amazing job, by any chance can you look into other fantasy lands?

Awesome video

Yellow neck rebellion? Now that sounds familiar!

For some reason I thought the fire nation had a lot more of the world under its control by season 3

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!

I never thought I'd see the day

silly question: what is BG and AG? before and after what? :') on another note, great video! it was very interesting and I loved the detail of Kyoshi Island detaching from the main land ^^

Great map, but it's confirmed in the original show that Uncle Iroh did put Ba Sing Se at siege before retreating/being expelled. This isn't shown here

I feel like there should be more stuff before and after the original series.

ty

What a coincidence: I just finished watching "The Legend of Korra" :D

Aang Era: Northern Water tribe: 🥱 yall having fun? Southern Water tribe: 😗💅eh, im pretty cool down here. You guys? Air Nomads: Earth Kingdom: YALL PLEASE HELP ME Fire Nation:👹👹👹 Korra Era: Northern Water tribe: 😴 Southern water tribe: North are you awake? i think there's civil unrest stirring again. also the Air Nomads are back Air Nomads: 👨‍🦲👨‍🦲👨‍🦲👹(

great video

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.

YES! finally updated

That video WILL explode.

Thank you Tigerstar for finally making my childhood Nickelodeon shoe come to this lovely map.

Interesting to make a video about a fictional universe. It would be great if you made a video about the Great War! (TES 5, Skyrim)

What do the numbers next to B and E mean? Also, brilliant work!!!

Is this inspired by Kayra Atakan’s video? If so, cool! I like the additional detail as a fan of avatar

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.

Ozai’s Thousand Year Reich only lasted one day, lol 😂

can you do witcher next please this was so fun to watch

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.

This is interesting

instant thumbs up Also after watching man it just seemed like it was a pretty fun video to make. i had fun watching it!
