Avatar Legends: The RPG

This section contains all of the game's playbooks, as well as advice for each playbook’s moves, features, and story arcs. The advice helps expand on the core ideas of each playbook, setting you up for success without demanding you always take the same course, in addition to mechanics advice on the particular moves and features of these playbooks. Remember that each player in the game should use a different playbook.

Each game begins with your group picking an era as the backdrop for your game. The eras are each tied to the span of an Avatar’s life—except for the Hundred Year War era during which Avatar Aang was frozen—and focuses on distinct themes which define the type of game you play.

In this 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 travels. 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 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 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.This purchase unlocks the contents of this source in the Digital Reader and Game Compendium on Avatar Legends NEXUS, as well as in additional features as they enter Early Access.

An archaeological expedition has discovered a cache of lost Air Nomad scrolls, but the corporation that funded the dig intends to seize the artifacts and exploit them. You must help the dig team reach the safety of Toph's Metalbending Academy before it is too late!&nbsp;
The companions get a weird sense of d&eacute;j&agrave; vu when an earthbender with a hood approaches them, asking to talk in private. They have seen her on a wanted poster for stealing from Sparrowkeet Air, a corporation that develops and builds flying contraptions. The poster got her name right, Qian Yu, but she explains that the rest of the poster is false as she is not a master thief, but an archaeologist. She discovered a lost Air Nomad artifact from the Eastern Air Temple, which dates back to right before the Hundred Year War, but then she fled when she learned Sparrowkeet Air's true motivation: to sell these items to the richest bidder.
Qian Yu believes this valuable piece of history belongs to the whole world, or at least, the last surviving airbender, and she wants the companions' help escaping Sparrowkeet Air's clutches to deliver the artifact to Toph Beifong's metalbending academy instead. As someone who trained with Toph for a time, Qian Yu knows the legendary bender can get this artifact to the right people.
