Berinu
Alias: The Resource-Rich Land, The Beautiful South Origin: South of Thazvaar (mainland continent)
Berinu is a resource-rich mainland directly south of Thazvaar, separated by mountain ranges over 5 km high. Its societies of hunters, farmers, and devout worshippers of He Who Allows were destabilized by Thazvaari criminal networks using technology as false aid. During the war with Thazvaar, Berinu requested Geban Empire intervention, leading to swift conquest and assimilation to eliminate corruption. The nearby Berinu Islands became the Empire’s largest naval base. Berinu has a population 90% female due to the global gender imbalance, second only to Thazvaar. Women of Berinu are universally regarded as the most beautiful on Geba. On its eastern border with Thazvaar, human trafficking and slave trade remain rampant, with the rugged terrain preventing meaningful intervention. Rampant piracy and global smuggling networks persist from pre-imperial times. Fertile valleys, forested lowlands, mineral-rich deltas, and deep caverns thrive in a warm temperate to subtropical climate with seasonal rains, humidity, and occasional dust storms.
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.
