Who becomes the new leader of the Naʼvi?
In the latest officially released Avatar material, the new leader who unites and guides significant Naʼvi forces is *Peylak*, the Oloʼeyktan (clan leader) of the Tlalim, also called the Windtraders, who emerges as a prominent Naʼvi leader in Avatar: Fire and Ash[3][4].
Context and supporting details
– The Tlalim, or Windtraders, are a nomadic Naʼvi clan that specialize in long-distance travel and trade; they move goods and messages between major Naʼvi clans and use flying creatures and airships in their mobility[3][4].
– Peylak is explicitly named as the Tlalim’s Oloʼeyktan and is portrayed as the clan’s chief; sources describing the new material identify him as a central Naʼvi leader in the storylines introduced in Fire and Ash and related new lore[3][4].
– Coverage summarizing the new clans and leadership introduced in Fire and Ash highlights the Tlalim’s neutrality and their role as intermediaries, which positions Peylak to be influential when clans coordinate against external threats or negotiate internally[3].
– Expanded-universe guides and clan lists note that Naʼvi political structures are clan-based and that leadership ranks such as Oloʼeyktan carry spiritual and communal responsibilities, making any named Oloʼeyktan a de facto focal leader for their people[1][2].
Notes on sources and canon
– Reporting and summaries in entertainment press and fan wikis draw from the recently released Avatar: Fire and Ash material and associated lore books; Screen Rant provides a mainstream-media explanation of new clans and leaders, while the Avatar Wiki and related community resources collect in-universe details and names[3][4].
– Clan and subspecies overviews (for example, AvP Central) describe how Naʼvi social organization links leadership to spiritual and ecological duties, which helps explain why a clan leader like Peylak can assume wider prominence among the Naʼvi[1][2].
– If you want the most direct verification, consult the primary texts (the Fire and Ash novel/film and the new official lore book) where Peylak and the Tlalim are first presented; the secondary sources above summarize those canonical revelations[3][4].
