Vohk’tirrel

Alias: Vohk
Era: Modern Geba
Affiliation: Church of the Infinite Maw (Scout-Class Engineered, Companion to Zairen Vaul)

Vohk’tirrel, known as Vohk, was a Scout-Class Engineered who evaded conscription during the Warlord Eras by surviving alone in Geba’s tangled forests and ruins for nearly twenty years, slipping between patrols with precision timing tied to breath cycles, shadows, and insect migrations. Emerging lean, quiet, and unreadable after the wars ended, he joined Zairen Vaul at his stead on the city’s edge, working side by side in rhythm to clear debris and build shelter—not as a believer initially, but as a brother in silence, eventually becoming Zairen’s first true friend through shared labor, laughter, and endurance.

When the Entity appeared, Vohk nodded without flinching, as if anticipating it, and remained steadfast as the Maw grew, organizing scouting parties, mapping terrain for expansion, and marking wartime ruins for reclamation. Years later, driven by loyalty, he led a private company of trackers to search for Zairen’s unknown father, escaping the Maw’s Crown’s perfection that bored him like a preserved relic, embodying perception beyond aggression—tracking heat, motion, vibrations, and pheromones with senses layered beyond even fellow Engineered.

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.
