The benders all live in their respective sections.
There is one individual known as the Avatar, who is the only one in the world with the power to bend all four elements and has a strong connection to the spirit world. They keep peace, balance, and harmony in the universe. The Avatar is born into one of the nations and masters that element first, then travels the world to master the rest. When the Avatar dies, their spirit is reincarnated into the next nation in the cycle.
The series follows the Avatar Aang and his friends, known as Team Avatar, who are fighting in a conflict known as the Hundred Year War.
