Tyrun’Bogan Vaer — VESSELBORN Codex

Tyrun’Bogan Vaer

Alias: None
Era: Modern Geba
Affiliation: New Emperor’s Wrath

Tyrun’Bogan Vaer was a south Geban-born veteran with New Emperor’s Wrath tattoos and a light loadout, whose clipped, sharp accent—unique to the region—marked him as gravel-rough and weathered like sun-baked clay. Practical and battle-hardened from regular inland ops during the Energy Wars, he guided newcomers like Nola with direct, no-nonsense advice: stay tight, run on the hip of someone who knows where to stop, and wear a visor for the mess of close-quarters work.

As part of the relay security crew, Bogan's composure anchored the team through syndicate firefights, counting down airship sweeps with pipe in hand, tapping ash while reflecting on the half-deafening blasts and the cyclical nature of ops—towers up, systems dead, clearings swarmed. Over roughly 400 days, he knocked the hesitation and smallness out of new contractors like Nola one drill at a time, explaining frontier realities: corridors as timed footholds opened by live relay chains, inland volatility driven by syndicates with private relays, pirates splicing lines, and independent Engineered crews selling days to the highest payer.

Bogan's south Geban roots fueled his grounded humor: joking about demographics after kills, and needling the team outside battle. Though his full history stayed unshared, he excelled in mentoring contractors new to the volatility of places like inland Thazvaar, serving as a model of steady realism in a system where relays rose and fell regularly, turning tactical "mistakes" into just another cycle.

Does not like the cold.

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.
