Ancient Air Nomads
Southern Air Temple Located in the remote Patola mountain range (Air Nomad Territory), the Southern, Jongmu Air Temple, supposedly only accessible via Flying Bison, was the boyhood home of the current Avatar, Aang, and his father-like mentor, Monk Gyatso.

Northern Air Temple High in the upper reaches of the Earth Kingdom resides the Northern Air Temple. It was home to the Flying Bison polo championships in the days when the monks lived in it. After the extermination of the monks, the temple was rediscovered by The Mechanist and his group of refugees. During the years the refugees lived in it, some where eventually seen by other Earth Kingdom villagers, who came to call those they saw gliding as "Air Walkers".

Eastern Air Temple (1 sub-board) Along with the Western Air Temple, it exclusively housed female Airbenders and was home to Sister Iio. This temple was destroyed by the Fire Nation. When Aang, the current Avatar, was to be separated from his mentor, Monk Gyatso, the elders of the Southern Air Temple had decided to send Aang to the Eastern Air Temple to complete his training without Gyatso's fatherly influence. However, before they could do this, Aang overheard their plans and ran away.

Western Air Temple Along with the Eastern Air Temple, it exclusively housed female Airbenders. This temple is located in the mountains north of the Fire Nation. It is unique in that, unlike the other temples, it was built underneath the edge of a cliff instead of atop a mountain. The spires seem as though they were built upside-down, and because of that, the temple is hidden to the passerby. Its design allows wind to flow into even the deepest chambers, which made the Air Nomads feel quite at home. Aang and his friends headed to the Western Air Temple for a safe place to stay after the unsuccessful invasion. It was there that Zuko began his search for the Avatar following his banishment. Ironically, after following the remnants of the invasion force there, Zuko decided to join Aang, pledging to teach him firebending. Although its interior has not been shown, Teo also mentions seeing a hall of statues. The temple features some interesting recreational spots, such as a giant Pai Sho table, an all-day echo chamber, and an air bison obstacle course and racetrack.

Water Tribes
Southern Water Tribe The Southern Water Tribe is currently in dire straits, teetering on the brink of extinction. Its remaining population is dwindling due to Fire Nation raids and is currently defenseless, as its warriors left for the Earth Kingdom to aid in the century-long war against the Fire Nation two years ago. With the departure of the sole remaining Waterbender, Katara, and warrior, Sokka, with Aang the Avatar, the people consist mostly of elderly and middle aged women and very young children. Recently a group of Waterbenders and healers from the Northern Tribe have been sent to the Southern Tribe to help rebuild. With the end of the war, the Southern Water Tribe can now start to rebuild their nation.

Northern Water Tribe (6 sub-boards) Unlike the obliterated Air Nomads and their southerly sister tribe, the Northern Water Tribe has survived a century of war with the Fire Nation, due to the defenses their icy terrain provides. Resting on the shores of the Northern Sea, behind high walls of ice and an ice gate and canal lock system passable only by the use of Waterbending, there lies a large and bustling monarchic nation-state. Ruled by Chief Arnook, the capital city features a palace, an army, and many skilled warriors, Healers, Waterbenders, and a hidden oasis which houses Tui and La, the Moon and Ocean Spirits. Flanked by icy sidewalks, the city roadways are canals, which people travel by gondola. Located at the North Pole, the Northern Water Tribe is a huge, multi-tiered city built into the icy landscape. Looming over the city are giant ice cliffs from which it was originally built. The city rests on the shores of the Northern Sea and behind it is an enormous frozen tundra.

Foggy Swamp Tribe The Foggy Swamp Tribe is a Waterbending Tribe who live in a mystical swamp in the Earth Kingdom. The swamp itself actually consists, in large part, of a single, massive swamp tree, at least several hundred feet tall, whose roots and tree limbs have spread out for miles to form the foundation of the swamp. Though the Foggy Swamp tribe Waterbenders share the skill of waterbending, they were completely unknown to their polar cousins and vice versa, until Katara, Sokka, and Aang stumbled across the tribe.

Earth Kingdom
Ba Sing Se (8 sub-boards) Capital of the Earth Kingdom and by far the largest city in any of the Four Nations, Ba Sing Se means "Impenetrable City"; The city is so named for its two world-famous walls, the gates of which have no hinges or other hardware and are opened by use of Earthbending. Behind the Outer Wall lies a large expanse of farmland, Lake Laogai, and several mountains. The Inner Wall encloses the city itself. It was the last great Earth Kingdom stronghold after the fall of Omashu.

Omashu (3 sub-boards) Omashu is the second largest city in the Earth Kingdom and the capital of one of its provinces, second largest only to Ba Sing Se, the titanic capital of the Earth Kingdom, which is much bigger than Omashu. It is located in the Kolau Mountain Range in the southwestern Earth Kingdom. Previously ruled by King Bumi, Omashu was taken over by the Fire Nation and renamed New Ozai. During the Day of Black Sun, King Bumi liberated Omashu and all the powerless firebenders abandoned the city.

Kyoshi Island One of the islands off the southern coast of the Earth Kingdom, Kyoshi Island is an island founded in the South Sea by Avatar Kyoshi to protect her people from invaders. It has a shrine (formerly a temple) dedicated to Kyoshi that contains her relics, including her kimono, metal fans, metal headdress, and her boots. Supposedly, these relics still embody some of Kyoshi's spirit. In the nearby sea, there are Elephant Koi, which serve as the island's main source of commerce, and a giant eel known as the Unagi. The island is known as the home of the Kyoshi Warriors, who fight with metal fans in the same techniques as the island's namesake Avatar, as well as a fighting style that emulates the Waterbender's philosophy of using the opponents' force against them.

Serpent's Pass The Serpent's Pass is one of the few direct paths to the Earth Kingdom's massive capital, Ba Sing Se. It is very rocky and is covered in dangerous cliffs. Although called the Serpent's Pass, it is not as twisted as a serpent like most people assume. It is in fact, named after the gigantic serpent that guards it. The serpent attacks everything and everyone that trespasses into its territory, and few have ever survived an encounter with it. This makes the Serpent's Pass one of the most feared locations in the Earth Kingdom. Although many refugees from the War pass this area, few have the courage to cross it, instead choosing the well-protected harbor at Full Moon Bay, as it provides undisturbed passage to Ba Sing Se via boat. To further warn refugees of the dangers at the Serpent's Pass, a large sign at the Pass entrance reads "Lose all hope", adding to the strong fear aimed at the location.

Great Divide ýThe Great Divide can be crossed in about a full day if one has an expert guide. Some believe that the canyon was a natural result of millions of years of erosion, while local belief holds that the canyon was first formed by angered Earth Spirits who lacked proper sacrifices from local farmers. The canyon is home to various insects and omnivorous arachnoid creatures, mostly those known as Canyon Crawlers. The creatures possess a superior sense of smell and will attack passerby if they are carrying food. The single way down the canyon is by a narrow path along the sheer cliff wall. The canyon itself is wrought with missing sections of wall and spontaneous avalanches. It is therefore essential to be crossed only with the aid of the Earthbender guide, who is familiar with the secrets of the canyon and is able to re-construct or de-construct sections of the trail.

Fire Nation Harbor The Fire Nation Harbor is located in the southwestern part of the Earth Kingdom, and is where Zuko goes to have repairs on his ship after his first confrontation with the newly awakened Avatar Aang. The leading officer in charge of the Harbor was the newly appointed Commander Zhao, but it is probably under the command of another officer after Zhao left on his own mission to capture the Avatar. The Harbor serves as a point for ships to dock and resupply. It seems that this harbor would be a strategic point since it is close enough to the Southern Water Tribe and it is a point where it can provide the Fire Nation Army with troops and supplies for their further push into the Earth Kingdom which would lead the the fall of Omashu and the attack on Ba Sing Se. The harbor seems to be still under construction when first seen, noting the lack of buildings and fortifications and the number of tents. The commander has some people interrogate the crew on Prince Zuko's destroyed vessel. After which Commander Zhao finds out the avatar is alive.

Treetop Hideout This is the freedom fighter's hideout. From the ground it is nearly impossible to tell that there is a hideout there at all, but hidden in the trees is a camouflaged base of huts connected by zip lines, ladders, and rope bridges. A sharp tug on a secret rope lifts you up into the trees.

Earth Kingdom Base Under the command of General Fong, this impressive Earth Kingdom facility is hidden in an Earth Kingdom mountain range off the western coast. It is one of the few remaining strongholds for the Earth Kingdom in this part of the country and it is extremely important strategically if the Earth Kingdom ever wants to invade the Fire Nation.

Fire Nation
Fire Nation Capital (9 sub-boards) Not much is known about the capital as a whole, for it hasn't been seen that often. Located in the crater of a dormant volcano, the capital city is home to Fire Nation royalty, including the Fire Lord and his family. At its center, sits the Fire Lord's palace and surrounding it, are numerous homes and shops that cater to the Fire Nation elite. The harbor areas contain many factories.

Boiling Rock The Boiling Rock is a maximum-security prison located within the middle of a boiling lake (hence, the name) in the middle of a seemingly lifeless island. It's also the most modern prison in the Fire Nation. It is where the most dangerous prisoners in the Fire Nation are held, domestic and foreign alike, among them robbers, traitors, and war prisoners. Its walls are extremely thick and made of the most up-to-date, indestructible, metal. Among its highlights is the gondola system which is the only way on and off the prison island and the most isolation chambers called "coolers". Prisoners can't escape swimming in the lake, and those who try to escape in any other way are thrown into the coolers.

Crescent Island (2 sub-boards) The Crescent Island is a volcanic island on the outskirts of the Fire Nation archipelago. The Fire Temple was the only structure on the island. The temple was built on the island so that it aligned with the solstices and equinoxes, and housed a branch of the Fire Sages.

Ember Island (2 sub-boards) Among the people who own homes there are Lo and Li, Princess Azula's twin teachers, and one used to belong to Fire Lord Ozai's family. This particular home is now abandoned, but the royal family used to spend their summers there when Azula and Zuko were only kids. Lo and Li's house is rather small in comparison to all of the others, but is nonetheless luxurious. A third house belongs to an Admiral Chan, who is currently on leave on the island with his family. According to Lo and Li, Ember Island tends to cause its visitors to go into a sort of self-discovery. Many have learned things about themselves that they were previously unaware of, and of their friends and family as well. After Avatar Roku's death, Ta Min moved to the island, where she lived in solitude until she died shortly before the start of the war.

Fire Nation School This is the school in which Aang "attended" in the episode "The Headband." He took the name Kuzon and said that he came from the Earth Kingdom colonies. While there, he learned that the students were not learning the correct historic information in their classes. For example, they believed that the Air Nomads had their own formal military, when in actuality they did not. Dancing is also looked down upon for they say "Dancing is not conducive to a proper learning environment".

Mai's House Located directly across from the Royal Palace, Mai's house is one of the many fancy homes inhabited by important Fire Nation citizens. Since her family is now in Omashu, Mai has the place all to herself. Like all other Fire Nation nobles, Mai's house has a full staff of servants catering to her and her visitors' every whim. The fact that the house is located right across from the palace is symbolic of her family's wealth and prestige. After returning to the Fire Nation, Zuko would often visit Mai at her house and they would boss around their servants for fun. It is an ideal place for their romantic evenings. However, on the Day of Black Sun, the Fire Nation Capital was completely evacuated in the wake of the impending invasion, so the house was deserted. Only Zuko stayed behind, and he decided to fulfill his destiny to help the Avatar save the world. He left Mai a letter in her bedroom explaining that he was leaving, but deeply regretted the circumstances. Mai's room also contains a painted portrait of her and Zuko.

Secluded Hot Springs These hot springs are located on a remote Fire Nation island and are surround by volcanic rocks, walls, and waterfalls. Aang and the gang chose this spot to rest because it is completely secluded. While hanging out here, Aang unknowingly revealed his survival to two young Fire Nation soldiers who were patrolling a waterfall some distance from the Hot Springs. They sent a messenger hawk to inform Fire Lord Ozai of Aang's survival, only for the hawk to be intercepted by the Combustion Man, who was sent to kill Aang. He then attacked the sleeping group at the Hot Springs that night, but Aang outsmarted him and everyone escaped.

The Fire Nation has been building a fleet of airships at this base in preparation for the day of the comet. Toph, Suki and Sokka manage to arrive at this location via Giant Eel Hound just as the airships take off. They sneak into one of them with Toph's Earthbending and proceed to sabotage Ozai's plan to burn down the Earth Kingdom.

Wan Shi Tong's Library An ancient structure built and passed over from the Spirit world to the physical world by the knowledge spirit Wan Shi Tong several thousand years ago for the purpose of the preservation of all the world's knowledge for the betterment of humanity. While it was once a huge palatial structure, a large majority of was buried beneath the sands of the Si Wong Desert and only its top most spire was visible from the desert. With the assistance of his knowledge seekers, the library has built up an enormous collection, though a portion of it has been destroyed by the Fire Nation. The library also holds an advanced, domed planetary calender room constructed from various fine materials including phosphorescent crystals, jade, and brass. Using its gears, cogs, crystal-projected stars, as well as several rotating planets, the planetarium acts as a kind of almanac, illustrating both recorded history as well as projected future planetary alignments.

Realm of Koh Like other parts of the Spirit World, the Realm of Koh exists alongside the everyday physical world. The only way to visit Koh's realm is through a spirit gate, like the one in the Water Tribe Oasis. The spirit gate is a kind of porthole that allows spirits, and the Avatar, to move between the two worlds. Koh's realm is an eerie place, inhabited by a wide variety of spirit creatures. At the center of this realm is a large, gnarled tree whose roots extending into the sky, rather than the ground. Beneath this tree is Koh's lair. When Aang is in the Spirit World, his tattoos and eyes glow and he is very vulnerable. If his body is moved, then he will have a difficult time returning to the physical world.

Whale Tail Island Whale Tail Island is a large island situated off of the southern coast of the Earth Kingdom. The island gets its name from its distinctive shape, which on maps bares an uncanny resemblance to a whale's tail. While little is known about the island or its inhabitants, Water Tribe sailing lore makes the claim that whales can never be found anywhere near the island due to thinking that it's the actual tail of the largest whale in the world. The white coloring of Whale Tail Island on the world map suggests it is or once was Air Nomad territory.
