The Lost Fire Nation is a tribe of Weird West. Across Rivers is a warrior of the tribe, who bears the title "Protector".

Details

• Lost Fire Nation has its own way of enforcing the law with Protectors acting as sheriff of a sort. If Across Rivers is wanted in any of the Lost Fire Nation villages, the Protectors will capture and banish him to a location in the wild, which is similar to serving time in jail. After that, Across Rivers can come back to the villages but people will treat him with hostility.

Trivia
