VESSELBORN — Heredrin Solarn-Veykar

Heredrin Solarn-Veykar

Alias: Veykar’Heredrin, The Investor-Founder
Era: Fracture (~2,000–1,500 Years Before Modern Geba)
Affiliation: Veykar Propulsion; Solarn lineage

Heredrin Solarn-Veykar founded Veykar Propulsion through strategic investment and capital rather than engineering expertise. As a descendant of Architect Varenth Solarn and of the same line as expeditioner Caledrin Solarn-Veykar, he transformed the Solarn lineage’s failed escape projects from the Fracture era into a thriving industry centered on speed, spectacle, and cultural influence. Leveraging his wealth, he financed ventures like ice runs across Ngorrhal, river sprints through Berinu straits, and deep-corridor scrambles off Kela’s coast, using these performances to bridge continents and reshape cultural landscapes.

Heredrin expanded Veykar’s cultural dominance by funding music genres and explosive festival performances, effectively controlling city rhythms and calendars. Historical reels depict him shaking hands with Emperor Auren at a launch celebrated more for its fiery display than its technical success, cementing his legacy. The Veykar crest, embodying speed and explosions, was passed to his modern heir Yelidra Veykar, who continues to uphold the brand’s dynamic ethos centuries later.

Records confirm his reputation as Geba’s foremost investor-marketer, his close association with Auren, and Veykar’s dominance across propulsion and the music economy.

About Vesselborn

Vesselborn is the story of Geba — a world that has carried an empire for six thousand years.

It begins with Vaer’karesh, who unites five nations into the first empire and fixes a common language and law. Across the ages, the empire fights and finally breaks Thazvaar, welcomes Jeyrha through engineering and diplomacy, and liberates Berinu by choice. In Ngorrhal, the people of the mountain passes lose their ancestral name and are permanently renamed the Frost Sentinels, whose strength helps secure imperial rule. The Haavu cannon systems cement that dominance.

At its height, the empire spans continents and raises relay towers that bind cities, coasts, and passes into one network. Assassinations and civil wars follow — the Fracture — but the answer is not a vacuum. The Shadow Rule forms from imperial networks and manufactures peace, ending the warlord broadcasts and taking the world back from collapse. They are the empire made quiet: continuity without ceremony.

Today, the Shadow Rulers still govern from the background while the Energy Wars — covert struggles over power grids and relays in uncivilized regions — decide who controls energy, transport, and culture.

Stories range from relay-field defenses and inland recoveries to city governance and frontier resettlement; from rail lines and air programs that stitch regions together to festivals and work crews where culture and politics collide; from Frost Sentinel memory to families choosing the safety of hub clearings or the risk beyond the grid.

This is Geba.
It began in silence.
It has not yet ended.
