After the Fire Nation was defeated in the Siege of the North, Prince Zuko and his uncle Iroh floated on a simple raft for three weeks until reaching this village, where they hid from the Fire Nation while treating themselves to luxurious spas. Zuko and Iroh were recognized as royalty and given the full respect of the spa staff, despite having little money to pay. While Iroh spoiled himself, Zuko spent his time dwelling on his banishment, as it was the third anniversary since he was exiled from his homeland.
