Okay hear me out though, what if the air benders were never rebuilt in LoK- what would happen to the avatar when it came time for air to be its home nation? Maybe some airbenders escaped Sozin’s attack and hid themselves away in small earth kingdom towns. Imagine the Avatar being born into a rural earth kingdom colony family that had no idea they were descended from airbenders- maybe they even find out they themselves can airbend. Furthermore what if Aang had died in the storm and no one ever defeated the fire nation so the family had to hide their lineage and abilities from the world. And maybe while running away from the fire nation or whatever dictatorship is going on, they discover wild sky bison and end up having the bison teach them how to bend. Then they go to the old long abandoned air ending temples to learn about their heritage and end up becoming their own tiny nation. Just a thought.
