Venar'Tolarg — VESSELBORN Codex

Venar'Tolarg

Alias: None
Era: Era of Imperial Conquest
Affiliation: Geban Empire, Imperial Bloodline

Venar'Tolarg was an emperor during the Era of Imperial Conquest, killed during a major military campaign in Northern Thazvaar with his body never returned to the empire. As the grandson of Vaer'Terund Venar—who declared war on Thazvaar—his death amid the catastrophic diplomatic fallout led to the ascension of a very young Prince Venar'Tal Kareth, who would later become the greatest conqueror in history.

Tolarg's ill-fated campaign exemplified the high risks of total war and forced assimilation, contributing to the empire's aggressive expansion and the establishment of elite forces like the Eyes of Venar'Tal. His failure and absence catalyzed the centralization of imperial doctrine under his successor, laying groundwork for a new, more brutal and efficient age of domination that reshaped global power structures for centuries.

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.
