Yue Bay

Yue Bay is a broad inlet of water located in the northwestern Earth Kingdom. It connects Republic City to the Mo Ce Sea, and leads directly to many of the capital's landmarks.

History
After the Hundred Year War, Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko founded a fifth nation, the United Republic of Nations, from the former Fire Nation colonies within the Earth Kingdom in order to create a society where benders and non-benders from all four nations could live and thrive together in peace and harmony. Its capital Republic City, a large, modern metropolis, was settled on the shores of Yue Bay.

Landmarks
Yue Bay leads inland toward Republic City, directly connecting to numerous areas and districts within the mainland. In addition to this, several large suspension bridges connect the city center to outlying districts, spanning a large portion of the bay.

Air Temple Island


Located in Yue Bay, Air Temple Island is the home of Tenzin and his family, and is therefore the residence of one of the most powerful governing figures of Republic City. The temple was originally built by Avatar Aang himself. Air Temple Island is also home to the young Avatar in training, Korra and the Air Acolytes. It has also been temporarily home to Mako, Bolin, and Asami Sato.

Pro-bending Arena
Official pro-bending matches are held in Republic City's Pro-bending Arena, a large glass-domed structure located at the end of a pier that extends into Yue Bay. As a testament to the sport's popularity, the arena's exterior has a golden appearance and is lit at night, making it a prominent city landmark.

Aang Memorial Island


Aang Memorial Island features a massive sculpture of Avatar Aang commissioned by the Fire Nation some years after the end of the Hundred Year War for display in Republic City. It stands as a symbol of peace and goodwill.
