The Northern Water Tribe was a collection of more affluent water tribe territories. The Northern Water Tribe often saw itself as better than the Southern, Eastern, and Western tribes. The Northern Water Tribe was about 500 miles outside of the Northwestern Earth Kingdom and 300 miles outside of the Northeastern Earth Kingdom territories.
History
The Northern Water Tribe had maintained a long line of chiefs, princesses, dukes, duchess, and other royal leaders. The North was known for having high volumes of snow and a cold climate. However, for somewhere with such a cold climate, it got a good amount of sunlight during peak hours (8 am-5 pm). Because this tribe lacked vegetation, locals often relied on hunting fish and arctic animals.
