Tharyn’Breka Kael

Alias: The Unyielding Guardian
Era: Absolute Expansion (~3,000–2,500 Years Before Modern Geba)
Affiliation: Geban Empire (Frost Sentinel Origin, Warrior, Imperial Guardian)

Tharyn’Breka Kael was a towering warrior descending from the northern passes of the Frost Sentinels, serving as Prince Ashan’Raeth Vareth’s childhood friend and unyielding protector during his decade-long expedition to audit the Empire’s fractured infrastructure. Known for her immense physical presence—standing a head taller than any man, with burnished copper skin, deep-set brows, and dark wavy hair unbound—she carried a rifle the length of a child without effort and moved with a voice like a chime struck in ice, her rare smile landing like a weapon.

Unlike the unified Frost Sentinels assimilated into the Empire after their Thazvaar-backed civil war, Breka embodied the northern line’s resilient silence and endurance, directly engaging insurgents despite Raeth’s caution, advancing furthest in Thazvaari combat games through sheer force, and charging headlong into ambushes while her companions sought cover. Insistent on visiting the corroded proving grounds of her ancestors, she represented not conquest but raw survival, her iron resolve ensuring the group’s safety as they documented Vessel mergings and inland decay, all while bearing the weight of her people’s erased history.

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.
