Original Release (on WrBlPro): September 22nd, 2022
The Avatar is back!
A year after the events of “Avatar: The Last Airbender”, the world is at peace. But an ominous promise made on the night of celebration haunts the young Avatar.
Should Zuko ever turn into his father and abuse his new position as Fire Lord, Aang must take his life for the good of the world.

And YOU! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hi, we are the official community of the "Book 4: Air (Restoration Project)." It is a community-made show bringing together pro VAs (from anime and video games), composers, writers (one who wrote promo materials for Avatar: The Last Airbender), sound engineers, comic artists, and more to create a pseudo-Book 4.
Using the official comics as well as original materials to flesh out the story, completely reorchestrated versions of the original soundtrack as well as new music, the project is creating a fully-dubbed and scored motion comic!
We’ve even recreated the Tsungi horn, a fictional instrument created for ATLA using a complicated audio process called “convolution” to combine the sound of a duduk and a trombone. That’s the haunting instrument you hear in the Blue Spirit theme.
Help us make the rest of Book 4, including original content!
