== Overview ==
''In this Kyoshi Era Adventure, you have been given the task of hunting down a notorious ''daofei'' by the renowned Firebender Rangi while she attends to her duties as companion to the Avatar. You must prove yourself by stopping this villain before Rangi returns from her latest travels.''<ref name="Kickstarter-description">{{Cite web |url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/magpiegames/avatar-legends-the-roleplaying-game/description |title=Kickstarter - Eras of Play |accessdate=March 22, 2022 |publisher=Kickstarter.com }}</ref>

== Description ==
The [[Lower Ring]] of [[Ba Sing Se]] is in chaos after a ''[[daofei]]'' outlaw kidnaps the two children of [[Fire Nation]] Ambassador [[Quin]]. The Ambassador has called in her own highly-skilled Fire Nation guards to find her children because she is mistrustful of the [[Earth Kingdom]] [[Anti-Corruption Task Force|anti-corruption task force]] called in to do the job. And the Ambassador is right to be suspicious. The task force is using this event as an excuse to finally round up all the criminals they want, regardless of whether they had anything to do with the kidnapping, and a new ''daofei'' mercenary group is using this distraction to wreak havoc in the Lower Ring. Famed [[Firebending|firebender]] [[Rangi]] knows that without intervention, Ba Sing Se is in trouble. She tasks heroes with ensuring the Lower Ring of Ba Sing Se stays stable until she can return with the [[Avatar]].<ref name="WSTAG-71">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''.

=== Adventure hook ===
''The companions are a group of (mostly) former outlaws located in Ba Sing Se trying to make right for their past misdeeds. They're outcasts bound together by a shared history and loyalty to one another. Most of the companions "went straight" before the anti-corruption task force was left to its own devices, and they're now technically on the right side of the law (or the criminal ties are still hidden at the start of the adventure).''<ref name="WSTAG-86">''[[Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game]]''. ''[[Wan Shi Tong's Adventure Guide]]'', Version 1.0, 2022, p. 86.</ref>
