The Battle for the Southern Continent

Lore & Background

The Southern Continent campaign described here is not part of official Tribes lore. In canon, the Phoenix Empire is a major faction, but there is no Diamond Sword Alliance or conflict over a Southern Continent. The series' storylines involve tribal warfare and the struggle for control of technology and resources, but this specific campaign is a fabrication.

In Their Own Story

The wind howled across the blasted plains as the Phoenix gunships descended, their engines screaming like wounded beasts. Below, a Diamond Sword scout crouched in a crevice, his breath misting in the cold air. He had seen three sunrises since his last hot meal, and the distant rumble of artillery told him the enemy was close. He knew the battle for the Southern Continent would be decided not by the number of troops, but by the will of those who refused to yield—and by the few who still remembered what they were fighting for. As the first shots rang out, he whispered a prayer to the old gods, checked the charge on his Spinfusor, and readied his weapon.
