The two main tribes are the Northern Water Tribe at the North Pole and the Southern Water Tribe at the South Pole.Įarth Kingdom Main article: Earth Kingdom Although members of the Water Tribe typically inhabit the polar regions, the North Pole and the South Pole, there is a small population of waterbenders who inhabit the Foggy Swamp in Earth Kingdom territory. The Water Tribe is a collective term for people, some of whom practice the art of waterbending, who follow a government system in the form of a tribal chiefdom. After the Harmonic Convergence of 171 AG, however, airbending resurfaced across the world in several nonbenders, and the Air Nation was formed to carry on the Air Nomad traditions. Airbending also began to slowly resurface through Aang's youngest son, Tenzin, and his three eldest children. In order to preserve Air Nomad culture, Aang founded the Air Acolytes, a group of nonbenders who volunteered to learn the ways of the Air Nomads. This resulted in almost complete extinction of the Air Nomads with the sole survivor being Avatar Aang. In his quest for world dominance, Fire Lord Sozin launched an attack on the Air Nomads in hopes of killing the reincarnated Avatar and ending the cycle. Being that their economy was based solely on agriculture, they were the smallest of the four nations, but all of their members were benders.

The Air Nomads were a highly spiritual group of people. While nomadic, Air Nomads did inhabit four major air temples, each built on remote locations, only easily reachable with flying bison. The Air Nomads were a civilization composed of people who practiced the art of airbending. Each location has unique geographical layouts, civilizations, climates, and demography, and each one has a diverse range of landforms. At the end of the Hundred Year War, Fire Lord Zuko and Avatar Aang transformed the Fire Nation colonies located in the Earth Kingdom into a fifth independent realm, the United Republic of Nations. The world is divided into four separate nations: the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads. Main article: Geography of the World of Avatar The separate nations are clearly visible on a map of the world.
