Which Earth Kingdom capital do Zuko and Iroh settle in during Book Two? They settle in Ba Sing Se.

After being declared traitors by the Fire Nation, Zuko and Iroh travel through the Earth Kingdom disguised as refugees. Their journey eventually brings them to Ba Sing Se, the Earth Kingdom’s enormous, heavily fortified capital. There, they try to build ordinary lives rather than continue hunting the Avatar.

Iroh finds work in a tea shop and eventually becomes its proprietor, while Zuko struggles to adapt to life without his royal identity. The city’s layered walls and tightly controlled districts conceal a political conspiracy led by the Dai Li and Long Feng. Ba Sing Se is also where Zuko faces his most important choice: whether to remain loyal to Iroh and Aang’s cause or accept Azula’s offer to restore his honor.

A common mix-up is Omashu, another major Earth Kingdom city. Omashu is associated with King Bumi and Aang’s early earthbending journey, while Ba Sing Se is the Book Two destination where Zuko and Iroh operate the tea shop.
