- The Southern Air Temple was one of the four temples of the Air Nomads, and one of the two, the other being the Northern Air Temple, exclusively housing male Airbenders. Its population was however wiped out at the beginning of The War during the Air Nomad Genocide. The temple is notable for being the childhood home of the current Avatar, Aang.

The temple was raided during Fire Lord Sozin's genocide on the Air Nomads, which ultimately instigated the Hundred Year War. The sole known survivor of the massacre was the person the Fire Nation sought to kill in its quest for supremacy: the twelve-year-old airbender and Avatar, Aang, who ran away from the Southern Air Temple shortly before the War began and became trapped in suspended animation until his return a century later.

- The Southern Air Temple was the childhood home of Avatar Aang and his chief mentor, Monk Gyatso. It was also home to Avatar Roku during his time of mastering the art of airbending. The temple was raided during Fire Lord Sozin's genocide on the Air Nomads, which ultimately instigated the Hundred Year War. The sole known survivor of the massacre was the person the Fire Nation sought to kill in its quest for supremacy: the twelve-year-old airbender and Avatar, Aang, who ran away from the Southern Air Temple shortly before the War began and became trapped in suspended animation until his return a century later. The temple was revisited by Aang, with his friends Katara and Sokka in late 99 AG. There, he discovered a winged lemur, which he named Momo. While there, Aang discovered the fate of the air temple and its people, including Gyatso, causing him to realize that all the Air Nomads were wiped out and that he, Appa, and Momo were all that remained. In 171 AG, Tenzin planned to visit the Southern Air Temple with his family and the Avatar, desiring to spend more time with his family and hoping to deepen Korra's spiritual connection. Plans changed, however, and Korra did not accompany the family to Aang's home temple. As soon as Oogi landed on temple ground, the family was greeted by a delegation of Air Acolytes led by Abbot Shung. Bumi and Kya, who accompanied the family, were also greeted with reverence by a female acolyte, as she believed them to be airbenders as well. She promptly apologized for the misunderstanding and left the siblings to continue her work. Shortly after their arrival, Tenzin and his children visited the statue room located within the sanctuary. Ikki and Meelo occupied themselves with an air scooter race through the sanctuary as opposed to listening to their father's lecture. They crashed into a statue, however, causing Tenzin to leave Jinora, who found Aang's statue among the others and became connected to it, similar to how her grandfather had been connected to Roku's. That night, Jinora awoke to revisit the statue room, where she found the statue depicting Wan and Raava, its design notably different from the others. While Jinora pondered over the identity of the Avatar it depicted, Wan's statue began to glow, concurrent with Korra's opening of the Southern spirit portal.
