This was a furiously close battle. Every nation showed great skill in knowledge and research. Congrats to the following winners!
Winners:
Bonus 25 points
FenderFreak of the Earth Kingdom with 27.5/30
Conzu of the Fire Nation with 28.5/30
Winner of 100points for their nation

RULES
Only the Trivia Team members from each nation were permitted to enter. So there were to be no more than three entries per nation. Answers were to be posted in the thread for the battle, where ScarletCougar would not indicate whether anyone was right or wrong till the battle was over. Anyone editing their answer posts would be disqualified. Battle was to end Thursday June 28 at NOON EST.
*NOTE: Hybrid was eager to participate. It was a shame he was not part of any team (completely neutral and yet of all nations… like the White Lotus). His answer post was deleted immediately. However, he had answered all the questions of the trivia correctly (30/30 so 100% correct).

THE ANSWERS
1- If you had any 4 of the following you got 4 marks for this question:
· Kyoshi Island
· Kyoshi Warriors
· Statue of Avatar Kyoshy
· Chin (the city that Kyoshi separated the island from)
· The Unagi
· Elephant Koi
· Suki
· Earth Rumble Ring
· Toph's family estate
· Toph
2- Tyro
3- Suki and Sokka were under the full moon. Sokka's first love was Yue who died to become the Moon Spirit. He felt uncomfortable kissing another girl with Yue watching.
4- This was tricky. You had to listen to the commentary during the episode on the DVD and pay attention to interviews. Momo was named Momo because Mike & Bryan thought it was a cute name. It was only happenstance that it was also Chinese for peach and the fruit that Momo has in the episode by chance looked like a peach.
5- 23 years. This was said directly IN the episode of Zuko Alone during Azulon's funeral.
6- Hu Sin provinces (There are many variants to the spelling and pronunciation of this. I was very lenient.)
7- Foxes. Debatable whether they are called spirit foxes or knowledge foxes.
8- Ba Gua Zhang (it has some spelling variants as well) or Southern Shaolin
9- Professor Zei
10- In order: WISE, BRAVE, TRUSTED
11- Avatar Kyoshi
12- Ummi
13- Sokka saw Yue, Katara saw their mother, and Aang saw a laughing girl (Toph) and a flying boar
14- Light from the Winter Solstice sun enhanced through a sacred ruby
15- Flying Boar
16- Chey
17- NONE. She went out with the Blue Spirit.
18- Unaired pilot episode from the DVD Season 1 Set
19- Kaya (or Kya) which turned out to be a tradition Inuit name and was potentially given to Katara's mother.
20- POWER, SUBSTANCE, FREEDOM, CHANGE
To complete this Trivia, you needed to have the DVD box set to listen to the commentary as well as watch the episodes. You also needed to have played the Nick.com Escapes game to see the small vids at the end of each of the four games. Lastly, some internet research would have been helpful, like www.nick.com for the avatar map and www.avatarspirit.net for lots of other stuff. You have to be very careful about wikipedia sites. They are often incorrect or incomplete.
There were 20 questions totaling 30 answers.
