The North, by contrast, stayed out of the war.
These raids left the Southern Water Tribe societally and economically devastated. With waterbenders being naturally dangerous to the Fire Nation because of their abilities, and because of the Southern Tribe’s geographical proximity, Sozin and his successors sent numerous raids against the South to kill or capture any benders who might become a threat. When Fire Lord Sozin began his imperial conquest of the world, the South Pole suffered some of the most brutal attacks. Through the years, the two Tribes remained connected but largely independent entities, developing their own cultural customs and societal structures. They also outline how a schism within the Tribe led some to depart, eventually journeying to the South Pole and establishing a sister tribe. Old Avatar encyclopedia entries from Nickelodeon describe how disparate Northern tribes eventually united into a singular political entity under one high chief. As the spirits departed back into the Spirit World and the lion turtles retreated from the affairs of humans, the early waterbenders migrated to the North Pole, where they built a society in union with their natural element, surrounded by ice and snow. They were granted the power of water as needed to hunt and defend themselves, but they did not dare venture far into the spirit wilds before the first Avatar, Wan, arose. As with all humans in the days when the spirits roamed freely in the wild, waterbenders built their early societies on the backs of the great lion turtles. The origins of the Water Tribes predate the era of the Avatar.
