The Western Air Temple is very different from the others. Most noticeably, it is not built on a mountain, instead being situated in a cliff-face. The spires are upside-down, which allows wind to flow throughout the entirety of the temple. The residents used to be all-female airbenders, but times have now changed and there is nobody here. Few even visit, so the temple stands empty and dead, a ghost of times that have gone and a reminder of the tragedies and atrocities that the Fire Nation committed.
