[/cell][cell][table=bordered][row][/row][row][cell=active][color=303030]Glossary of Terms.[/color]
Literature providing some small insight into the more important aspects of the world of The Last Avatar. Some knowledge is limited as much of the information was removed after the Republic's victory. What remains is brief at times, but further information [i]can[/i] be found elsewhere if one knows where to look.

This list will be updated as our world expands and our knowledge of it is filled in.

[/cell][/row][/table][table=bordered][row][/row][row][cell=active][color=303030]Synergy.[/color] [color=666666]l1[/color]
A form of energy derived from the spirit world, once used by one Kuvira to terrorize Republic City. The Moon family, owners of SynEn, were able to refine the process for its collection, becoming the City's sole provider of clean energy and catapulting them to a level of wealth matched only by the likes of Sato and Varricks. All spirit energy is harnessed from the spirit portal located in what was previously Republic City. Both of the North and South portals were closed after the war and are no longer accessible.

Synergy weapons utilize SynEn batteries and fire bolts of superheated plasma as opposed to kinetic projectiles from conventional firearms. These are usually only carried by security personnel of the Upper Ring. They are capable of piercing through most materials besides platinum. Synergy was also utilized heavily in the creation of the bombs built by the Republic and used during the war. The scars left behind in the wake of their destruction are still seen today and many of the areas touched by these weapons remain uninhabited.

[/cell][/row][/table][table=bordered][row][/row][row][cell=active][color=303030]Spirit Water.[/color] [color=666666]l2[/color]
Normally only found in the Spirit World, this special water is naturally infused with spiritual energy and was once widely used in many applications of healing. Since the war, there are no known, publicly available springs and because there is no access to the Spirit World, none of this water has been collected in a century. Despite this, a version of this water has been created in the physical world and is used in medicine and beauty today, usually exclusively in the Upper Ring. Baths of the water can be drawn, for a price, where submerging the body can purportedly slow the aging process. Many doctors use the water during procedures to assist in the healing process or as a pain reliever.

For those practicing its use outside the confines of strict regulation by the Republic, some of this water can be bought in the Lower Ring, where its crudely made from energy stolen from cracks in the pipes feeding the Synergy Storage Facility. Its cheaper and works just as well although its use comes with the risk of drawing attention from the RSF. Those looking for an easy reward from turning in a suspected bender will often times target those who use the water. 
[/cell][/row][/table][table=bordered][row][/row][row][cell=active][color=303030]Synergy Radiation.[/color] [color=666666]l2[/color]
What is known of this phenomenon is limited at best. An effect left behind from high-yield synergy bombs that is densest around the former bending nation capital's. It is widely believed that being exposed to large amounts of it, or a small amount over a long period of time, will lead to a deterioration of the mind. It is also believed that many of the stranger fauna existing in the wild originate from here. What still exists in the center of these zones, if anything at all, has yet to be discovered though many have attempted to find out. None have returned.

Short excursions into and through these zones can be made and are. As such, the outskirts of these areas have been thoroughly explored and picked clean for supplies. After some distance from the 'safe zone', survivor made signs discourage travelling any further.

There is no radiation poisoning resulting from use of synergy handguns or any technology utilizing the energy, presently.
[/cell][/row][/table][table=bordered][row][/row][row][cell=active][color=303030]Pipe Runner.[/color] [color=666666]l2[/color]
Tasked with patrolling the length of pipe running from the Synergy Power Plant to the Synergy Storage Facility inside the city. Their days are spent along a stretch of land outside the protective confines of safety found behind any walls, keeping an eye out for dangers that pose a threat to Ba Sing Se's fragile power system. These threats include any wild beasts that wander too close or anyone looking to steal spirit energy from the pipe itself.

Although there is a specialized team in charge of large maintenance projects along the pipe, Pipe-runners will often provide regular upkeep, helping to push the need and cost for repairs down. Leaks are usually patched until cracks in the exterior grow too large for a simple temporary fix.

Although they are not paid nearly enough for the risk inherent in the job at hand, they are typically better off than most who live in the Lower Ring and their limited freedom beyond the walls is well worth the trade off.
[/cell][/row][/table][table=bordered][row][/row][row][cell=active][color=303030]Stickball.[/color] [color=666666]l2[/color]
Stickball came to prominence in the years after the rise of Pro-bending. A competitive sport friendly to Benders and Non-benders alike which began years ago as a playground activity for children of fishermen. The objective is to knock the ball into the opposing team's goal using a stick shaped much like that of an oar. The ball is balanced on the flat end while players move about the field, passing it to one another in an attempt to guide it to the other end. Passes are typically made by lifting the ball into the air and then hitting it as it's suspended. The receiving player will catch it with the flat end (where there is a small depression for the ball to rest) or may deflect it to another. Because of this and the equipment used, Stickball is by its nature a high-contact sport. Hitting another player directly with your stick, however, is illegal, but blocking or tapping another player's stick with your own is not. Neither is short grappling to disarm or takedown, or  'passing' a ball directly into an opponent with a particularly hard serve to knock the wind out of them. Two players will commonly face off or juggle the ball in-between them, parrying each other's sticks while bouncing the ball off each other or off the ground. The best players can read angles and distances and bounce the ball off other objects or people to get it where they want.
