History

In an effort to find Jinora, a rejuvenated Avatar Korra journeyed up Hai-Riyo Peak to return an injured dragon bird spirit to its nest, located on the summit.

On her way, Korra was blocked by a trio of dark shishi. Refusing to let her fear stop her from completing her task, Korra found the light within herself, in the process restoring balance to the shishi and allowing them to assume a pacified form. As she calmed the spirits, Korra also dissipated the storm clouds which had previously encircled the mountain.

With the assistance of the shishi, Korra was able to swiftly reach the top of the mountain, where she returned the injured dragon bird spirit to its nest. Upon reuniting, the four young dragon bird spirits merged to become a single adult dragon bird spirit, which flew around the peak before allowing Korra to mount it.

Description

Negative energy caused storm clouds to gather around Hai-Riyo Peak, which only dissipated following Korra's arrival.

Hai-Riyo Peak is a large mountain, visible from Iroh's teashop in the Spirit World. Prior to Korra's arrival in 171 AG, storm clouds encircled the mountain, and the strong negative energy in the surrounding area caused shishi residing in the mountain to turn dark.

The storm clouds dissipated shortly after Korra found the light within herself on the way to the summit of the mountain, where a dragon bird nest is located. Several shishi can be found on the way to the top of the mountain, which can be reached using walkways.
