The Northern Air Temple was much like the Southern, with its male-exclusive population. However, it has not been completely abandoned by the world, and is instead home to the Earth Kingdom man named the Mechanist and a large group of refugees from the Earth Kingdom. Previously a home to the peaceful airbenders, the temple has been "upgraded" a lot to suit modern people. Most notably, the temple now has a hot air system running through it, created and installed by the Mechanist.
