Wake up, Avatar stans. We’ve got new info on Avatar: Seven Havens—the post-apocalyptic second sequel series to Avatar: The Last Airbender. When the initial teaser dropped at SDCC, we didn’t know just how long the time-skip between Legend of Korra and Seven Havens would be. Well, thanks to Polygon, we have an answer. Per Sehaj Sethi, “Avatar: Seven Havens takes place about 225 years after Legend of Korra ends.”
So, somewhere between Legend of Korra and Seven Havens, the ‘cataclysm’ happened. An Avatar betrayed their role as a hero and instead wrought destruction on the planet. This is the primary reason why modern cities are built almost entirely with survival in mind. Sehaj Sethi goes on to explain more about Ellora, the massive metropolis Haven Pavi comes from. The initial inspiration for the city was the Ellora Caves, an ancient Indian complex of monasteries and temples. “Just as the this ancient complex is a harmonious mix of several religious practices, (Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism), Ellora (along with the other Havens) is a harmonious blend of all bending practices,” says Sethi.
The city, with all but the city center built into slot canyons for maximum protection from the harsh desert storms and tornadoes, is a multicultural melting pot. It’s a fresh spin on the world of Avatar, taking into account the way that cultures diverge and hybridize over centuries, especially in wake of sweeping disasters—such as the cataclysm, for instance. Ethan Spaulding says the population of Ellora is over 1,000,000! Between the new visual direction—reminiscent of Jean Giraud’s comic work—and the significant change in tone, Seven Havens looks to have a much different atmosphere and vibe from both The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra.
The producers went on to emphasize the high stakes of the story. The public no longer sees the Avatar as the world’s savior, but the world’s destroyer. The Avatar is the enemy. Pavi has to navigate a city that is hostile towards the very concept of her existence. Sethi shares the city’s motto: “Ellora must survive.” I think the quiet part is, at all costs.
Avatar: Seven Havens drops on October 9th, and the date can’t come fast enough. Here’s hoping the producers share even more tidbits before the official release!
