Summary
The throne room holds a kind of gravity to it, like the Southern Air Temple, like Hama’s home. It’s seen the destruction of generations, of cultures, of people and property and locations and hope.
And now, the throne sits, bare and waiting for a person who does not exist. Uncle Iroh cannot take the throne without challenging Ozai as he was formally abdicated months ago. Ozai is too weak to fight. His challenge to the throne will have to wait, but he also has no living relatives, no sons or daughters or step-children to continue the royal line. He’s too old to produce children. Sokka doesn’t know whether Uncle Iroh will ascend to the throne. He doesn’t know if he respects this choice, or if it’s a weakness.
The throne is bare. There’s a very real possibility that this is how it will remain.

Summary
The Fire Nation has some weird cultural norms. When Zuko gets added to the group, they find a fun role for him to play. Fire Nation Fact Checker!
(Basically meaning, I wanted to explore the conversations the gaang would have about their separate societies, traditions, and worldviews)
Chapter One: The Gaang wonders, what does a Training Accident even mean? And why do so many Fire Nation recruits seem to have the mark of one?
Chapter Two: Sokka worries about what training methods Zuko will use with Aang and finding out the Fire Nation's way of 'training' the previous night.
He didn't realize what kind of training Zuko was referring to though, and actual discipline is very different than he thought.Chapter Three: Zuko reflects on what Aang said. Control...versus intent... How does one even not have ill intent?
Chapter Four: Zuko teaches Aang the new trick he learned: How to NOT burn things.
Chapter Five: Sokka sees Zuko practicing his new skill. He does not react...well.
