This article is a geographical overview of the Avatar World. For the map, see Map of the World of Avatar.

The world is divided into multiple landmasses, islands, and seas with a unique physical geography, landmarks, climates, and demography. For most of its history, the world was divided into a multitude of states and cultures which coalesced into four independent nations at some point after 3,829 BG:[1] the Air Nomads, the Water Tribe, the Earth Kingdom, and the Fire Nation.

The four nations were influenced by their corresponding element and accordingly shaped their environment. The Air Nomads had four temples located in the north, south, east, and west of the Earth. There are two main Water Tribes, situated north and south of the Earth Kingdom, the most expansive and populated state in the world. The Fire Nation is located in the west of the world and is an archipelago of volcanic islands. Each nation has a predominant season, and geography has a great influence on the customs and culture of each country. Nevertheless, smaller cultures and quasi-independent polities, as well as groups of mixed ethnicity, continued to active during this period.

As part of the Harmony Restoration Movement from 100 AG, which sought to restore balance to the world after one hundred years of war, a fifth territory known as the United Republic of Nations was founded as a place where inhabitants of all nations could mingle freely. Furthermore, the Earth Kingdom began to disband itself into smaller states after 174 AG.

Locations[]

Air Nomads[]

The Air Nomads were wanderers by definition but had four air temples at various locations across the world, where novices were raised and trained. Certain temples were also the sites of specific events and festivals on the Air Nomad calendar, and airbenders from across the world would congregate there at designated times to celebrate.

Eastern Air Temple

The Eastern Air Temple housed exclusively female airbenders.

Eastern Air Temple[]

Main article: Eastern Air Temple

The Eastern Air Temple was one of the two temples exclusively housing female airbenders. Like the other temples, its population was completely exterminated during the Air Nomad Genocide. Guru Pathik resided here for a considerable amount of time, as he waited years for Aang to come so he could teach the Avatar how to properly control the Avatar State.[2] Following the Hundred Year War, the Eastern Air Temple became home to Air Acolytes, and later housed some of the new airbenders after Harmonic Convergence.[3][4]

Northern Air Temple[]

Main article: Northern Air Temple

The Northern Air Temple is a temple that hosted only male monks. It is located in the upper reaches of the northern Earth Kingdom, built upon a snow-capped mountain. This temple was also a victim of the Air Nomad Genocide, along with all the other air temples. By 100 AG, it had become renowned for its arbitrary colonization by Earth Kingdom refugees, who were led by the mechanist. Up to that point, the area had undergone rapid industrialization.[5] The Northern Air Temple was restored after the war and was inhabited by Air Acolytes, and briefly trained new airbenders after Harmonic Convergence. However, it was destroyed by Ghazan's lavabending attack when the Red Lotus held the new airbenders hostage in their quest to end the Avatar Cycle.[6]

Southern Air Temple[]

Southern Air Temple outlook

The Southern Air Temple was the childhood home of Avatar Aang.

The Southern Air Temple was one of the four sanctuaries owned by the Air Nomads. It is the one located closest to the Southern Water Tribe and exclusively housed male airbenders. This region is notable for being the childhood home of Avatar Aang,[7] and it was also the place where Avatar Roku learned airbending. Like the other temples, it was restored by Air Acolytes after the war, and is also home to some of the Air Nation's new airbenders.[8][4]

Western Air Temple[]

Main article: Western Air Temple
Western Air Temple

The Western Air Temple is unique from its counterparts in construction and design.

The Western Air Temple was a counterpart of the Eastern Air Temple, maintaining only female airbenders. It is situated in an island mountain range due north of the Fire Nation. Unlike the other air temples, this one consists of multiple small structures and portions versus merely a single large one. It too was a victim of the Air Nomad Genocide, which decimated all of its population. The temple is also notable in that, contrary to the other three temples, it is situated underneath the edge of a cliff, as opposed to a mountaintop. The spires seem as though they were constructed upside-down, and because of that, the temple is generally difficult to locate for passers-by.[9] Like the other temples, it was restored by Air Acolytes after the war, and is also home to some of the Air Nation's new airbenders.[4]

Water Tribe[]

Foggy Swamp[]

Main article: Foggy Swamp

Though an outlying expanse of the tribe, this vast and mysterious wetland occupies a considerable portion of the southwestern Earth Kingdom. It provides an ideal residence for the Foggy Swamp Tribe, who are descended from immigrants of the Southern Water Tribe. The Swamp has an extensive array of fauna and flora, the latter of which are actually just a series of roots connected to one central tree, the towering banyan grove.[10]

Northern Water Tribe[]

Main article: Northern Water Tribe
Northern Water Tribe entrance

The Northern Water Tribe capital is built within high walls of ice and surrounded by huge swathes of inhospitable tundra terrain.

The Northern Water Tribe is the largest division of its nation and is located on an island situated near the North Pole. The capital city, Agna Qel'a, prospers in its isolation.[11] No attack from the Fire Nation on the city during the Hundred Year War ever ended in a loss for the tribe, including the tumultuous Siege of the North.[12] After the fall of Ba Sing Se, the Northern Water Tribe boasted the only major city in the world to not be under Fire Nation jurisdiction.

Southern Water Tribe[]

Main article: Southern Water Tribe

The Southern Water Tribe is a minor division of the Water Tribe. Its people are scattered in tiny villages and settlements located on an island by the South Pole.[13] Unlike its thriving sister tribe, the people of the Southern Water Tribe were teetering on the edge of extinction during the Hundred Year War due to Fire Nation raids.[14] However, following the Siege of the North, several volunteers traveled from the Northern Water Tribe to help rebuild their sister tribe.[12] Through their efforts, the South underwent a major expansion, and by 171 AG, it had a large harbor city as its capital, along with numerous other smaller cities and villages scattered around the South Pole region.[15]

Earth Kingdom[]

The Earth Kingdom is by far the largest of the original Four Nations, and its geography varies widely from region to region. While there is often not a "hard-and-fast" division between these regions, certain areas are marked by geographic features that may not be common elsewhere.

Central regions[]

Ba Sing Se

Ba Sing Se is by far the largest city in any of the four nations.

Ba Sing Se is the monolithic capital of the Earth Kingdom, encompassing nearly the entire northeast corner of the country. It was the last great Earth Kingdom stronghold after the fall of Omashu.[19] Ba Sing Se means "impenetrable city", an honorary reference to its two insurmountable walls, the gates of which have no hinges and can therefore not be opened in any way aside from the use of earthbending.[20]

Serpent's Pass[]
Main article: Serpent's Pass

The Serpent's Pass is a narrow strip of land between the East and West Lakes that links the southern and northern halves of the Earth Kingdom. It is one of the very few direct paths to the capital, Ba Sing Se. The pathway is named after the serpent which guards the point at which the East and West Lakes meet. Here, the Serpent's Pass dips below the lakes for a limited distance. These adversities make the Serpent's Pass a typically avoided entryway into Ba Sing Se, and most refugees prefer to go by ferry instead.[16]

Northwestern regions[]

Merchant town[]
Main article: Merchant town

The merchant town is a minor trading settlement located high in the mountains of the northwestern Earth Kingdom. Historically, this region was the site of numerous airbender murders, as survivors of the genocide were tricked by firebenders into coming to this location when they heard rumors of its mysterious possession of Air Nomad relics. Such airbenders were consequently killed in a decisive ambush.[21]

Southern regions[]

Because it was not in a particularly strategic location, the town was left untouched by the Hundred Year War. This is evidenced by the attitude of many of its residents.[23]

Kyoshi Island[]
Main article: Kyoshi Island

Kyoshi Island is a small island off the southern coast of the Earth Kingdom, dotted with many small villages. It is famous as the birthplace of Avatar Kyoshi, and as the home of the elite Kyoshi Warriors.[24] The island was created when Chin the Conqueror threatened to invade and conquer the former peninsula.

Previously ruled by King Bumi, Omashu was taken over by the Fire Nation and renamed New Ozai.[19] During the Day of Black Sun, King Bumi single-handedly liberated Omashu, and all the powerless firebenders abandoned the city.

Plains village[]
Main article: Plains village

The plains village is located in the arid grasslands of the southern Earth Kingdom, to the west of the Si Wong Desert. It was not the most ideal place to live in and was home to several suspicious characters, including Gow, who, along with his gang of thugs, passed off as Earth Kingdom soldiers in order to force the citizens to yield to their will. They often forcefully enlisted unwilling citizens into the Earth Kingdom Army and stole from those they considered weak, and as such, the town was often forced to live in fear of this band. The citizens of the village seemed to harbor a severe hatred for the Fire Nation, and several of its citizens left to fight in the Hundred Year War.

The Lee Family Pig Farm is located outside of this village and was home to a young boy named Lee who lived with his parents.[26]

Zaofu[]
Main article: Zaofu

    • Northern tundra — The treacherous terrain within the North Pole Tundra[105] that borders the Northern Water Tribe on its north end, known to experience some of the harshest weather in the world, including constant heavy blizzards and unstable ice sheets that can give way under the slightest pressure.[107][108]
    • Western tundra — The treacherous terrain within the North Pole Tundra[105] that borders the Northern Water Tribe on its west end, where Zuko, Tonraq, and Unalaq built a secret ice prison to confine P'li.[109]

Volcanoes[]

Crescent Island

There is an active volcano on Crescent Island.

  • Boiling Rock — This Fire Nation prison is on an island in the center of a boiling lake on a volcanic island.[32]
  • Crescent Island — Volcanic island located in the Fire Nation.[41]
  • Fire Nation Capital — Some parts of the city are in a caldera of a dormant volcano.[35]
  • Mt. Makapu — Located in the vicinity of an Earth Kingdom settlement known as Makapu Village.[39]
  • Roku's island — Situated in the Fire Nation, its eruption was responsible for the death of Avatar Roku.[74]

Climate[]

Each sovereignty of the four nations is characterized by a distinct climate as well as a predominant season during which benders are born at a faster rate and become stronger. These attributes illustrate the qualities of the nations.

Air Nomads[]

The Air Nomad's dominant season was autumn.[110] Although the country was geographically and topographically diverse, the climate varied little from one temple to another. Snow falls in the Southern and Northern temples during autumn and winter.

Water Tribe[]

Polar climate in tundra

Conditions are freezing in the polar climate of a Northern Water Tribe tundra.

The Water Tribe's dominant season is winter,[110] though the Northern and Southern tribes regularly experience snowfall year-round. Other forms of precipitation are rare due to the below-freezing temperatures, and thus the air is usually lacking in humidity. The average yearly temperature in the Southern Water Tribe is negative 49 degrees.[111]

Earth Kingdom[]

The Earth Kingdom's dominant season is spring.[110] The average temperatures across different portions of the Earth Kingdom vary greatly because of its vast size. Some areas, such as the Foggy Swamp, are humid and rainy while other areas, such as the Si Wong Desert and Great Divide, are quite arid. Omashu and Ba Sing Se are more temperate. There are colder areas in the Earth Kingdom, such as the northern edge,[112] while the coldest region is in and around Kyoshi Island, where the climate conditions are often subpolar.

Fire Nation[]

The Fire Nation's dominant season is summer.[110] The climate in the Fire Nation varies, though most regions have a tropical or arid subtropical climate, and many areas experience high average temperatures year-round. Even though rainfall is sporadic, the Fire Nation boasts a wide variety of exotic fauna and flora, all due to its humid climate.

Demography[]

Awaiting Zuko's coronation

People from different nations attended Zuko's coronation in the Fire Nation Capital.

Air Nomads[]

After the Air Nomad Genocide resulted in the near complete extinction of the Air Nomads and the fauna that lived in the air temples with them, the population of the Air Nomads was small compared to the other nations, even the Water Tribes. The sole known survivor of the massacre was Aang, the Avatar. Only the younger of Aang's two sons, Tenzin, is an airbender and has, in turn, fathered three more airbenders. However, after the Harmonic Convergence of 171 AG, some nonbenders in the Earth Kingdom, United Republic, Fire Nation, and Water Tribes gained the ability to airbend, bringing the art back from the brink of extinction.[113]

Water Tribes[]

The population of the Water Tribes is relatively small and is the third most populous nation. Due to the Hundred Year War, the Southern Water Tribe was nearly driven to the brink of extinction through a series of raids,[14] hence the Northern Water Tribe is the most populous division in the nation.

Earth Kingdom[]

The Earth Kingdom is the most populous nation in the world. Ba Sing Se, its capital, is one of the largest and most advanced cities on Earth. Due to the fact that the Earth Kingdom has the largest expanse of territory, it is an ethnically diverse country, with wide variance in customs between different provinces and tribes. The Earth Kingdom has never suffered a heavy loss of life or any sort of extinction in civilization despite its constant state of warfare.

Fire Nation[]

The Fire Nation is the second largest nation in the world in terms of population and area. The nation has suffered some loss of life because of the Hundred Year War, but not as much as the other nations, who have been victims of more devastating invasions and genocides. The population of the Fire Nation is mostly concentrated in urban centers, though smaller settlements, villages, and towns dot the islands as well.

Trivia[]

  • Each nation in the world of Avatar bears similarities to locations in our own world:
    • The Fire Nation geography is based on Iceland[114][115][116] while its cultures are analogous to ancient China and Japan, especially the Qin and Han dynasties.
    • The Earth Kingdom is expansive, agrarian, and diverse, much like China, with architecture and clothing comparable to that of later Chinese dynasties, notably the Ming and Qing dynasties. The sandbenders share more similarities with Uyghurs and outer Mongolians, while the Kyoshi Warriors adopt customs similar to the Japanese.
    • Air Nomad clothes and customs are similar to Tibetans and Central Asians.
    • The Water Tribes are similar to the Inuits and Kipchak tribes, though the canal system in the Northern Water Tribe capital, Agna Qel'a, was inspired by the canals found in Italy.[117]
  • Although there are four air temples, there are only three Air Nomad archipelagos, as the Northern Air Temple is located on the northern tip of the Earth Kingdom mainland.
  • Despite seasons/eclipses happening world-over, the world of Avatar is round.[118][119]
