History
Edit
After the Hundred Year War, Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko established a fifth nation, the United Republic of Nations, from the former Fire Nation colonies within the Earth Kingdom.[2] Its capital, Republic City, a large, modern metropolis, was settled on the shores of Yue Bay.[3] The body of water made Republic City easily accessible for trade by water and it was instrumental in the growth of the city.
Landmarks
Edit
Yue Bay leads inland toward Republic City, directly connecting to numerous areas and districts within the mainland. Within its waters are several small islands on which landmarks have been established. In addition to this, several large suspension bridges connect the city center to outlying districts at many points.
Air Temple Island

Added by Lady LostrisLocated in Yue Bay, Air Temple Island is the home of Tenzin and his family, and is therefore the residence of one of the most powerful governing figures of Republic City. The temple was originally built by Avatar Aang himself.[1] Air Temple Island is also home to the young Avatar-in-training, Korra, and the Air Acolytes. It has also been temporarily home to Mako, Bolin, and Asami Sato.
Pro-bending Arena
Edit

Official pro-bending matches are held in Republic City's Pro-bending Arena, a large glass-domed structure located at the end of a pier that extends into Yue Bay. As a testament to the sport's popularity, the arena's exterior has a golden appearance and is lit at night, making it a prominent city landmark.[4]
