Talk:Air Nomads/@comment-5116441-20120627173332

What is all the confusion about? The Air Nomads were nomads! There were 20 (likely stationary) Elders in the entire nation... out of, like, thousands! The rest were traveling all over the world. Aang, only being twelve, had been to the other temples, Omashu, the Fire Nation... and he was only twelve! It is part of the Air Nomad society that the children are raised by guardians. The parents give birth, however they do not stay with the child. Zuko said, "You wouldn't know of fathers, being raised by monks" thus indicating that a select group of monks stay in the temple and look after all children, which there can only be so many of.
