This was a systematic and well considered plan of genocide on the part of Firelord Sozin.Ī small number of Air Nomads escaped the initial attack on the temples and proved too elusive for the Fire Nation to hunt down. Lastly they tricked them into coming out of their hideouts by stealing and using relics to create places where Air Nomad escapees might try to gain refuge and then killing them.
They used overwhelming firepower to take down other groups and judging by the losses taken by the Fire Nation, the Air Nomads did not go quietly. The storyline says the Air Temples were attacked and destroyed, it just doesn't quite mention how.) (Though this is still likely to be a plot hole since the origin of airships officially doesn't happen for one hundred years. They probably used airships to reach the hidden mountain enclaves which could only be reached by sky bison. They managed to kill them in a variety of ways. Was there a realistic explanation as to how did the Fire Nation effectively kill the 99.9% of all air nomads? Now then, if they didn't want to run away, these chambers look like nice bunkers. Of course, they're nomads and wouldn't like to stay and live in cities like these, but I'd rather do that than being massacred by the Fire Nation.Īs a side, small note, we also see in the air temples "Chambers that can only be opened by an airbender" that somehow seem to have worked and kept their contents safe from the Fire Nation.

Fly where? Well, there were plenty of places relatively free from Fire Nation's influence even after the hundred year war, like the Earth Kingdom's Omashu or Ba Sing Se. If the Fire Nation attacks, the nomads should have had plenty of time to run away (you know, they can fly after all). Of course, since they probably have no armies, they would be easy targets.īut, the nomads seem to have lived in places difficult to reach. Been a while I don't watch the series, but it is strongly implied that the Fire Nation killed all airbenders.
