Remise: Elements
Remise: Elements
The franchise is set in an Asian-inspired fantasy world that is divided into four nations: the Water
Tribes, the Fire Nation, the Air Nomads, and the Earth Kingdom. Within each nation lives people
capable of telekinetically manipulating (referred to as "bending" in the franchise) one of the first
four elements: Water, Earth, Fire, or Air.
The titular "Avatar" is the only person who can bend all four elements, and they are responsible for
maintaining spiritual and physical balance in the world. After an Avatar's death, the Avatar spirit
is reborn into a new person of a different nation, who must learn their bending skills anew and take
on their Avatar responsibilities.
