Set in the year 2074, Tribes of Europa takes place after a mysterious global catastrophe known as “Black December” has shattered modern civilization. Europe is no longer unified—it has broken into dozens of warring tribes, each with its own ideology, technology level, and power ambitions.

The story follows three siblings:

Kiano – A peaceful member of the Origines tribe, later captured and forced into a militaristic group called the Crows.

Liv – A brave fighter trying to rescue her brother and survive in a brutal world.

Elja – The youngest, who discovers a mysterious Atlantean cube that may hold the key to restoring civilization.

As their paths diverge, each sibling gets entangled with different tribes:

The Crows – Violent warriors seeking dominance

The Crimson Republic – A structured, advanced society trying to rebuild order

The Atlanteans – A mysterious, technologically superior group

The cube becomes the central object everyone wants—because it may unlock immense power and reshape the future of Europe.
