oggy Swamp

The Foggy Swamp, or simply known as The Swamp, is a vast, mysterious wetland covering a large area in the South-West of The Land of Earth. The swamp is very densely packed with a great variety of fauna and flora, the most notable being the Catgators and Dinosaurs.
The local population consists of a tribe of Waterbenders, known as the Foggy Swamp Tribe, who migrated to the swamp from the South Pole. The tribe seems to be somewhat backwards but maintains a strong relationship with nature. They navigate the dense undergrowth with skiffs, whence they hunt and fish.

At the center of the swamp stands an enormous, ancient Banyan-Grove Tree whose roots spread out over miles. The rest of the swamp grew by extending from the foundations of this tree, over time developing into one large super organism. The Foggy Swamp Tribe bases its philosophy on this phenomenon; they say that, like the tree, all people of the world no matter how different, retain the same roots and are branches of the same tree.

The swamp contains deep spiritual qualities as well; enigmatic weather patterns and induced visions of the past, present and future are commonplace within the swamp. One particular Waterbender named Huu was able to reach enlightenment under the Banyan-Grove Tree at the very heart of the swamp, and using his abilities, fiercely protects the swamp from any who wish to harm the place by using a giant swamp monster made up of vines controlled through Plantbending, a special technique developed from conventional Waterbending forms.
