Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ages ago, Waterbenders built the city as a way to unite all the various Northern Tribes in one place. The Waterbenders used the ice and water to create the various temples, villages, and canals that comprise the city. Important to the city's transportation and defense are the canals. The canals are a series of interconnected waterways that spiral through the city. Boats, powered by Waterbenders, use these waterways to transport people and things. To get into the city from the ocean, boats enter a series of water-locking chambers. Once in, Waterbenders raise the water levels, lifting the boats until the vessel finally reaches the waterways of the Northern Water Tribe. This special entrance ensures that no unwanted ships can make it into the city. Because of these special security features and the city's location, the Northern Water Tribe has been able to fend of numerous Fire Nation attacks.

In the aftermath of the Fire Nation's siege of the North Pole, select benders and healers from the Northern Tribe left for the South Pole, in an effort to rebuild their ravaged sister tribe.

i love the water tribe =] katara is sooo cool=]

Mara is walking down a trail, his boat is stranded on a rock and he's mumbling to himself about the cold. "How the hell did I wind up here!?" he yelled at the top of his lungs, not realizing that the water tribe was so near.
