The Air Nomads, later known as the Air Nation, are one of the four nation in the Avatar: The Last Airbender franchise.
It is the collective term for the monastic order of men and women who practice the discipline of airbending and the pacifistic ethics of their theocratic society. They were wanderers by definition. However, they had four air temples, one located at each corner of the globe, found atop mountain ranges and under cliffs, in the northern Earth Kingdom and on three remote islands, all of which were hard for outsiders to reach.
Until the birth of Bumi, son of Aang & Katara, those born to the Air Nomads were, without any seen exception, all benders due to the high level of spirituality of their people. Their opposite on the elemental spectrum were those of the Earth Kingdom.
