<p>Thanls.I guess there would have been at least one Avatar from there if it does exist.If it does not,then maybe Pathik's a sandbender. </p>

I meant thanks.

<p>the avatar doesn't really reincarnate into anything. each avatar is different than the last. has its own spirit, has its own soul the only thing that connects them is Raava. Raava jumps into the new body.  the reason Raava wouldn't jump into the body of someone from an energy nation would be that Raava only jumps into a person from the 4 nations because Wan mastered, earth, fire, wind and water not earth fire wind, water and energy bending </p>

Raava ''herself'' states that Wan reincarnates. "We will be together for all of '''your''' lifetimes."

Raava exists to bring balance to the world, not reincarnating into one national population seems to be a strangely bad idea for Raava. And if Wan is also reincarnating with Raava, there is no reason for him not to reincarnate into an Energy Nation; sure he didn't get Energybending from the Turtles, but the avatar gets that from the great Spirit of Light bound to them, so if an Energy Nation existed, there is no reason for the Avatar not to be reincarnated amongst that people. </p>

<p>I would agree with that, but I would add that the Avatar Cycle only makes sense in the context of Wan reincarnating. Like Jaxus said, if Raava was just picking new bodies to incarnate into, there'd be no reason for her to be bound to any such cycle, she could go wherever she wanted. The Avatar Cycle seems to only exist because those are the populations that Wan shares a spiritual kinship with. </p><p>This would also be a good explanation for why the Avatar never seems to reincarnate into these forgotten tribes like the Foggy Swamp, the Sun Warriors, the Bhanti, etc. More so than random chance, these people aren't related to the people who lived on the lion turtles he obtained his powers from, so he never became linked to their spiritual lineage. </p><p>That said, even if Wan did not reincarnate, there would have to be an Energy Nation for Raava to pick, which there probably isn't. </p>

<p>Counter point to that: Foggy Swamp tribe at least, is descended from the Southern Water Tribe. These people more than likely each had an avatar at some point of history, but long before the life of  Yangchen; remember only 7 avatars have been revealed in the series, and the older ones seems to have less impact on affairs during the two series, so we don't have any idea of the history of the various Avatars. </p>

<p>First, I don't think it's reasonably possible that these people could have had Avatars, at least not after the civilization was lost. Said Avatar would have to be discovered, trained, & live their entire life without the civilization's existence ever being discovered. That's really unlikely just from the normal training process, let alone the level of scrutiny the Avatar would be subject to later in life. </p><p>That leaves either the possibility that the Avatar Cycle just skips over them because of their tiny population size & sheer random chance, or there is actually a mechanism behind it. I did consider omitting the Foggy Swamp Tribe from the latter theory & proclaiming them to be an exception, but it's also possible that, although they lived in the south pole, they have no relation to the modern southern tribe. They could have been an isolated ethnic group that left before the south became unified. </p><p>But, more importantly I think, it's the logical consequence of Wan establishing the Avatar Cycle by learning from the Lion Turtles. If the Sun Warriors for example came from a totally different turtle, which seems likely given they have almost nothing in common with Wan's society, there's no reason for them to be connected to the cycle. This origin for the cycle is an implication many have picked up on, but I'd go as far as to say that it <i>must</i> be true. </p><p>The 4 nations reincarnation cycle cannot be a universal, otherwise the nations would go through huge fluctuations in population, because their birth rates would necessarily have to reflect the death rates of the previous nation, & there are very significant population discrepancies between the 4. No, something had to happen that gave Wan a different reincarnation cycle than other people, & the most obvious solution to me is that everyone reincarnates within their culture. Wan, being effectively part of almost every extant nation-community, would therefore reincarnate cyclically into each of them. Which, as I mentioned earlier, in turn suggests that he cannot be reincarnated into the few communities that remain isolated from the mainstream 4 Nations. </p>

.........an energy nation....in the sky? Imma have to say no to that
