Avatar's plot
The series is set in the Asian world of martial arts with elements of mixed East Asian, South Asian and Western culture. The world is divided into four levels of power: The Tribe of Water, the Kingdom of Earth, the Nation of Fire and the Nomads of Air. They live in peace and harmony as long as there is an Avatar, a chosen one who controls all the elements and maintains the balance.
At the age of 12, Aang, an airbender, learns that he is the new incarnation of the Avatar, but, fearing responsibility, runs away with Appi the bison. Trapped in the water, Aang uses his power to freeze himself and his friend for a long time. The main events of the series take place 100 years later, when the Fire Nation started a brutal war, captured or destroyed other tribes.
The avatar Aang is found by his brother and sister and rescued from the ice captivity. After learning about what is happening in his world, Aang begins to learn other elements, travel, and develop a plan to destroy the Fire Emperor and restore balance.
