Mai Gui
More actions
Mai Gui was the 79th Earth Queen of the Earth Kingdom. She began her reign in 167 AG in an effort to address internal instability and external tensions within the kingdom. These conflicts led to the Fire Nation suspending all agreements with the Earth Kingdom until stability was restored to the throne. The unofficial 79th Earth Monarch, Loian Hemero, declared himself Earth King following the death of the 77th Earth Queen, Lin Gui which resulted in the said conflicts.
Queen Mai was widely known for her work in foreign policy. However, she faced criticism for legalising the subelements Bloodbending, Lavabending, Combustionbending, and Suffocation, all of which were considered illegal in other nations. She defended her decision by stating that no harm would be permitted against any citizens, and that “using bending is something a person should be able to do freely, to further grow as an individual.”
