VESSELBORN — Tharyn’Deine Kel

Tharyn’Deine Kel

Alias:none
Era: Modern Geba
Affiliation: Operator

Tharyn’Deine Kel, a Frost Sentinel from northern Geba not far from the capital, is a heavy-weapons and explosives specialist paired with Vaok’Aurena. Her strength keeps their array system mobile, freeing him to haul charges, tools, and detonators. They move inhumanly fast for what they carry—still slower than most—but when paths stay shut and air support is gone, they level obstacles.

It turns out his father was Assault-Class, making him a hybrid, which explains his strength—absurd even for a Frost Sentinel—and it also explains his closeness to Aurena. Their largest demolition was a private syndicate relay transmitting Solarn’s movement data, pinning a line in place for months until supplies made defense impossible. Destroying a relay on Geba is nearly taboo; payment was withheld because they destroyed the very asset named in their security contract. They weren’t prosecuted—the tactical need was undeniable, and the breach cleared the way for Solarn to replace the private tower with a new public relay, expanding the enforceable borders, meaning citizens of the Empire can feel safe starting clearings near it, as they can reliably transmit any emergencies for a fast response.

Their rule stays simple: anchor, feed the array, place charges, and grind a passage no enemy survives.

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.
