Avatar: The Last Airbender

Lets say you want something that is fantasy, set in a large complex world that in no way rips off JRR Tolkien, is presented in visual form and is just well made all around. Well Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko had come to your aid with Avatar: The Last Airbender and its new followup The Legend of Korra. It is in no way related to James Cameron's similarly titled work.

Setting

You have a world modeled primarily off east asian civilization, in which there are people able to manipulate the elements using martial arts moves (called bending). Benders are capable of bending either Earth, Air, Fire or Water, with the exception of the Avatar who can master all four and is re-incarnated every time he or she dies. There are, for the most part four civilizations...

• The Water Tribes: Eskimo like people who live in the North and South polar regions. The South Pole tribe consists of stereotypical eskimos, whereas the ones living at the North Pole got bored of making simple igloos and carved their entire city out of ice. And then added canals to troll the physicists.
• The Earth Kingdom: A large loose continental power ruled out of the fortified city of Ba Sing Se. Culturally diverse, but largely modeled on China and Korea.
• The Fire Nation: A technologically advanced state based off of a volcanic island chain with Imperialistic Ambitions (so, Japan). And by technologically advanced, we mean they have steampunk tanks, ships, a giant freaking drill and airships.
• The Air Nomads: A group of monastic people who lived in a series of temple cities, exterminated by the Fire Nation a century before the events of the series. Aang, the protagonist and avatar of Avatar: The Last Airbender was...we'll let you figure that out.
