The Four Nations — a spiritually infused world where humans bend the elements through martial forms, breath, will, and philosophy. Balance is not morality; it is alignment between spirit, world, and self.

Bond Effects: • Emotional resonance • Enhanced bending or spiritual perception • Injury or loss causes spiritual backlash

Spirit World & Balance Mechanics • Spirit portals may open or destabilize • Strong emotion can manifest spirits • Imbalance creates corrupted regions • Harmony calms spirits and strengthens bending Balance is dynamic, not permanent.
