In order to save Zoryu's honor, Kyoshi attempted to bring Yun to justice. The nobility was outraged, and the attack made the Fire Lord seem weak.

Kyoshi mistook Chaejin for the Fire Lord at a garden party, and the palace was attacked by a vengeful Yun, who killed Lu Beifong and Chancellor Dairin.

Īlthough the supposed Avatar Yun helped stabilize the tensions in the royal family, they came to a head in 295 BG after Zoryu invited Kyoshi to the Fire Nation for the Festival of Szeto. Chaejin came back to court as a High Temple liaison, but built his own power base as a potential candidate for the throne, while Lady Huazo built up the wealth and power of the Saowon clan. The Fire Nation's good fortunes came to an end in the first years of Zoryu's rule, which were marked by poor harvests. Although Chaeryu was considered an unintelligent boor, he was well-remembered for the bountiful harvests and prosperous fisheries during his reign.

After Chaeryu's death, Zoryu acceded to the throne. Chaeryu married Lady Sulan of the Keohso clan and had a son with her, Zoryu. However, Chaejin was later excluded from the royal family and sent to the Fire Sages. He was forced to acknowledge his illegitimate son, Chaejin, as his mother was the noble Lady Huazo of the Saowon clan. įire Lord Chaeryu ruled the country during the life of Avatar Kuruk. Gonryu had his agents spy on Chaisee, the ambitious zongdu of Jonduri. After the international blunder known as the Platinum Affair, the Fire Nation became an isolationist country, with the exception of the shang city of Jonduri. įire Lord Gonryu reigned during the early era of Yangchen. By working as a minister in the Fire Nation's government, all of the Avatar's accomplishments reflected well on the Fire Lord. Although the nation was consumed by plague, natural disasters, and wars between the clans, Szeto managed to bring peace to the Fire Nation. In the early life of Avatar Szeto, Fire Lord Yosor ruled the country.

After ascending the throne, it was not unusual for earlier Fire Lords to violently eliminate their siblings due to them being potential rivals. The royal family was historically marked by numerous disputes and power struggles, and its control over the Fire Nation was often undermined by the country's powerful noble clans. The family has been in power for many centuries, though its various branches formed many dynasties, including the Pho Zel Dynasty. From that moment on, the Fire Lord and their family ruled the nation. However, the Fire Lord eventually gained more power and split off from the Fire Sages, becoming its own position. After its unification, the Fire Nation was originally ruled by the Fire Sages, with the Fire Lord at their head.
