Network(s) Netflix
Created or Developed By Philip Koch
First Aired 2/19/2021

Plot

In the year 2074, somewhere in Europe, long after the EU was dissolved, the world has become tribal. Of the ones we’re introduced to, there are the war-loving Crows, led by Varvara and Kapitan. Also,  there are  Atlantians, The Crimsons, the Republic, and that of our heroes, the Origines. Of all those named, only the Originies are not actively at war, mainly due to hiding in the forest and being pacifist, whenever possible. However, with an Atlantian pilot crashing near their territory and one of their own trying to save him, the Origines are dragged into a fight the Crows started. Leading to the Originies’ leader, Jakob, and his three children, Liv, Kiano, and Elja, being tasked with protecting this box that could save the world.

Groups & Organizations

  • Atlantians (1.1): One of the few groups that didn’t find themselves sent to the Dark Ages after Black December, thus making their technology highly valuable.
  • Crimson Republic (1.1): A militaristic group that protects many tribes from the Crows and has a vision of creating a new EU under their leadership.
  • Origines (1.1): A small tribe that lives off the land and has very limited use of technology. Also, they are isolationist with few knowing of their existence, and them using the forest to provide additional protection.
    • Customs (1.1): When one of their own becomes an adult, an initiation is done, including being branded.
    • Founder (1.1): Was a woman named Chloe, mother to our leads, Kiano, Liv, and Elja, and wife to Jakob.

    • Number of High Lords (1.4): In Yvar Kaptian’s regime, there are 6 high lords
