Kael’Varek Dahn

Alias: None
Era: Modern Geba
Affiliation: None (Civilian Victim, Symbolic Martyr)

Kael’Varek Dahn was an ordinary citizen caught in the Maw’s devastating assault on Lira in the State of Midreach—a city of preserved rhythm shattered in seven minutes of calculated collapse—where they fought back valiantly during the chaos, ultimately dying while helping a few survivors escape the targeted erasure that reduced clean, loyal people to wandering husks stripped of memory and belief. Though details of Kael’Varek Dahn’s life were lost in the silence of fried nodes and melted civics, their face became an emblem of defiant sacrifice, one of three names eternally engraved on an unclaimed obsidian monument repeated endlessly as symbols chosen by global feeds, haunting the world's grief as the Maw accelerated toward resolution while embodying the quiet heroism of those who resisted inevitability to preserve fleeting lives.

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.
