Luminescent fungi lamps are incorporated into the structures to provide soft ambient lighting at night. The river that winds around the Lush Cap reflects the city lights.Demographic
The city is home to an equal mix of earthbenders, firebenders, waterbenders, and airbenders, creating a balanced and diverse community. Each bending discipline contributes to the city's unique architecture, with buildings shaped from the earth, warmed with controlled flames, connected by waterways, and exposed to open air. This diverse community reflects the city's commitment to interconnectedness with the world through Aether.Government

Decision-making is influenced by both spiritual insights and practical considerations. They make sure that the city’s connection to Aether is not tarnished.Culture
