Linsho is a coastal town that was located in the Earth Kingdom by the 100s AG. It was previously a Fire Nation colony.[2] After the Harmony Restoration Movement, the town became the site of the Restorationist–Loyalist conflict.[3]

History

Originally an Earth Kingdom settlement, Linsho was conquered by the Fire Nation during the Hundred Year War,[3] and transformed into a colony.[4] The Fire Nation settlers established new businesses, most notably Blue Sky Fisheries.[3]

After the Hundred Year War, Linsho was subjected to the Harmony Restoration Movement until 101 AG, when the Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom agreed to a less radical decolonization programme. Though this meant that Linsho's population of Fire Nation and mixed heritage was not deported, tensions continued. Radicalized by the initial efforts of the Harmony Restoration Movement, some local Earth Kingdom natives demanded that at least the wealthy private property owned by former colonists should be expropriated and handed over to the community; this group became known as "Restorationists".[4] They were opposed by a group of ex-colonists who vigorously defended the status quo out of various reasons; they became known as "Loyalists".[5] The groups engaged in an ever more divisive conflict,[4] even as Mayor Leaf struggled to keep the community together. However, the open confrontation between Loyalists and Restorationists was further underpinned by the secretive activities of the town's most important businessman, Ria.[1]

In the late 100s AG, Linsho was facing a serious crisis, as the conflict between Loyalists and Restorationists grew more intense. Furthermore, a yearly Squid Ink Festival had to be cancelled due to an approaching storm, causing more heated disagreements.[3] Meanwhile, a team consisting of Kallika, Ginkgo, Ziyi, Toklo, and Chihiro arrived at Linsho. The group was tasked by the regional governor to track an arsonist who had tried to escalate local conflicts related the decolonisation process. Just after the group's arrival, however, the arsonist attacked a Blue Sky Fisheries warehouse; the individual escaped, while the Loyalists and Restorationists blamed each other and started to brawl.[6][7]

Economy

Linsho's economy was centered around fishing.[4] Its most important export item was squid ink which was shipped across the world, both as a delicacy and as a art supply.[3] The important company active in Linsho is Blue Sky Fisheries, owned by Ria's family;[3] most of the local fishers work for the company despite its poor reputation among locals.[4]

Culture

Linsho is regionally famous for its Squid Ink Festival, celebrated each year to honor the squid ink and give the inhabitants some time to relax after a working season. The festival lasts a single day and is marked by food stalls, music, and various games. The town is also brightly decorated, including with two giant paper squids that whip in the wind. Over time, the celebrations became well known enough to attract toursists.[3][6]

Historically, Squid Ink Festival was also important due to its pacifying role, as it encouraged exchange and grudge-settling.[3]
