Rally building

The rally building is a large convention hall operated by the Equalists. It is located in Republic City, across the river from downtown. The building's existence having been kept in ambiguity for much of the city's bending populace, it was the site of the revelation rally, a meeting held for non-benders by the radical revolutionary figure Amon.

History
Mako and Korra's search for Bolin led them to investigate a secret meeting of non-benders at the rally building. After failing to rescue Bolin from kidnap by the Equalists, they discovered a map on the back of a flyer pointing out the location of the rally.

Disguised as non-benders, Mako and Korra entered the building and witnessed Amon remove the powers of multiple captured Republic City crime leaders, including Lightning Bolt Zolt and Shady Shin. This was done as a demonstration to entice support for his views. Shocked to see that Bolin's bending abilities would soon be removed as well, Mako ordered Korra to get him some cover so he could save his brother. She found a room where there were several pipes ventilating gas, and attempted to break them, but the doorman saw what she was doing and attacked. The two fought in a brief scuffle, though Korra managed to subdue him and use his large, bulky body to smash the pipes. A thick mist quickly enveloped the building, giving Mako adequate cover. After Amon backed away from the stage, he took Bolin and fled the scene. As they were running away, the duo came across the Lieutenant. He almost succeeded in halting their escape, but was defeated with ease when Avatar Korra came.

Description
The rally building is located near an industrial sector of Republic City's waterfront, at the intersection of two minor roadways. Bearing strong resemblance to a warehouse, the facility is grey and black in exterior coloration and has a high, slanted roof. It is a box-shaped mid-rise structure and has several small and rectangular windows on all sides. Street lamps surround the building's front portion.

The rally building's main entryway is often guarded by a doorman, who only allows visitors with invitations to partake in private events. Large meetings are usually held in the main hall, which is the most spacious room in the building. At the far end of the hall is an elevated stage used for speeches and demonstrations during rallies. For such events, the stage is decorated with propaganda posters and artwork that symbolize the themes of the rally. A picture of Amon along with two Equalist emblems to either side are generally put on the back of the stage. At the center, a platform can be raised or lowered to and from the basement, which is how people gain access to and leave the stage. Stagelights are directed at the people on stage to put more emphasis on them.

There is no seating area in the convention hall, so the audience generally stands in front of the stage during events. Despite being capacious, this room often becomes excessively crowded due to the sheer number of people. On either side of the hall are numerous stairs and doorways that lead to other parts of the rally building. Some rooms are used for maintaining the facility's vast pipe network, which is powered by water and steam. Others are used to hold prisoners.
