A long, long time ago there were two villages in the Earth Kingdom. In one village was Shu, a brave young man! In the other village was Oma, a smart young girl! There was a mountain between their villages, and it was on that mountain they first met. Oma was collecting herbs, and Shu was just climbing to spend time away from home. They began to talk, and at first they didn't realize that they were from different places - and when they did realize the other was from the village on the other side of the mountain, it was bad. Their villages were at war, you see, and they were forbidden to have contact, or to talk as freely as they had been.
But Shu and Oma had fallen in love, and they decided they had to find a way to keep meeting one another. In the mountain where they met lived giant badgermoles, and from these creatures Shu and Oma learned earthbending, becoming the first earthbenders. They used their bending to make a maze beneath the mountain, leading to a chamber in the middle where they would meet, Oma's twisting path to Shu's hidden one.
They met like this for many months, until one day the war between their villages claimed Shu's life. Oma was devastated by the loss, and she unleashed all of her bending on the two villages - but rather than destroying them, she declared the war over. The people, stunned by her display, agreed - and together both villages built a new city for both of them, which they called Omashu after Oma and her Shu.
