Coastal Thazvaar is the fully integrated coastal zone of the former Thazvaari Dominion, now a stable Geban province showcasing seamless cultural fusion and advanced infrastructure. Once the naval and technological heart of the Dominion, it was conquered after decades of war and assimilated under Imperators like Veris’Kal Therak and Kanesh’Tar Zeren. Its extensive rail and water systems were adopted empire-wide, while jungle cities blend urban grids with humid vegetation and thriving trade ports. The region hosts some of the planet’s most luxurious cities alongside some of its poorest slums, creating a stark environment that has produced many artists and athletes seeking to escape poverty without joining inland syndicates. This dynamic is fueled by heavy traffic from Jeyrha, Kela, and Geba—Coastal Thazvaar is the only route to Island Thazvaar without passing through the Berinu Islands or circumnavigating the planet. Festivals like the Scarlet Verse—women-led performances of ritual, endurance, and intimacy—remain free and deeply rooted in merged Geban-Thazvaari identity. Population shows no ethnic or linguistic divide; children play in mixed communities, and terminals default to imperial script. The region is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful on Geba. Kharan's Gulf, once a notorious pirate stronghold and final battleground of the ancient Geban-Thazvaari war, is now an enclave of ultra-luxury reserved almost exclusively for the planet's wealthiest elite, including Yelidra Veykar. Despite the opulence, high-stakes criminal operations and political maneuvering continue to thrive beneath the surface.
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.
