At some point after Avatar Wan closed the spirit portals, the Air Nomads built the Southern Air Temple in the Southern Archipelago's Patola Mountain Range. They also established a presence on several other islands.
The archipelago's airbender population was wiped out by the Fire Nation in the Air Nomad Genocide of 0 AG. However, several islands remained settled or were resettled by people from other nations. The Fire Nation military remained in the area for the rest of the Hundred Year War, occupying some islands, patrolled the land around the Southern Air Temple,Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game.

By 99 AG, some local communities banded together and hired a martial arts master to train them in combat to resist the Fire Nation. Not long after, the islands were visited by Team Avatar, who explored the Southern Air Temple.
