Moment of Balance
Moment of Balance
Podcast Description
Republic city, one year after the events of Legend of Korra. The avatar may have brought balance to the world once more, but the city is still steeped in crime, corruption, and exploitation. Changes abound, particularly regarding the expanding influence of the Varrick Industries firearm.
Our story follows three characters from different worlds: Sabi, an orphan from Ba Sing Se and gunslinger-for-hire, currently working for the Piercing Pistols Triad in Republic City. Hanako, a Fire Nation ambassador to Republic City, acting on behalf of her wealthy mother who does not have the greater interests of the world in mind. And Chong, a street musician and airbending school dropout, whose only desire is to follow his bliss.
Our three protagonists band together to uncover corruption in the city, navigate a new world of firearms, and weigh the morality of violence.
Featuring game dev and writer Jonaya Riley as Sabi, audio engineer and veteran TTRPG player Domi Carmia as Hanako, writer and editor Chrissy Gaba as Chong, and composer and playwright Anna Marcus as DM
