This is a rough take that needs a ton of polishing, but:
>Korra is assassinated around 50 years after LoK for reasons to be later explained
>White lotus tries to find the new avatar in the Earth Kingdom, but a messy civil war impedes them, and splits the earth kingdom into two nations
>The Avatar is instead found by a militia and is trained in secret and under grueling conditions. As a result, the avatar grows up to feel highly detached from the rest of society
>20 years later, reports pop up across the globe of possible avatar activity and sightings. They start off mundane, but major accidents begin to occur, making people fear the avatar
>A new white lotus, backed by the United Republic, are tasked to find this mysterious avatar
>The closer they get to the Avatar, the more things seem to be going completely awry, such as terror attacks, spying, espionage, and assassinations by seemingly unrelated organizations
>As the series progresses, we see the antagonists getting increasingly advancing tools, weaponry, and physical augmentations.
>It is eventually discovered that there has been an underground campaign, starting with Korra, to keep the Avatar from interfering with the development of technology based on the spirit vine tech discovered in LoK
>This was accomplished through various means, such as the assassination of Korra, the erasure of the new avatar’s early life, staging events to make the avatar appear malicious, and the hiring of various gangs and military groups with the promise of gifting newer and better technology
>The overarching themes of this series would be deception, and trust. Ultimately, the avatar has to come out and embrace society to fulfill his duties, but can’t do so with the spread of misinformation
