Geba (Continent)
Alias: The Imperial Heartland, The Center Location: Central Geba (foundational continent)
Geba is the imperial core and planetary melting pot, drawing citizens from every continent under the strictest laws on the planet. Poverty is nearly nonexistent, and local syndicates do not exist. The continent hosts the finest engineering guilds and academies—second only to Jeyrha—and the global center of art and ethics in the ancient city of Thaloryn, following the destruction of Lira in the State of Midreach. Massive cities orbit mega-relays that connect them to all major capitals by air and sea. The imperial day begins and ends when Izhara passes over Geba, setting planetary time. The only criminals present operate in deep cover under state directive, their motives undisclosed to maintain stability and deter greater threats. Private land ownership is impossible without explicit, justified imperial permission. Ethnic Gebans form the core population, followed by Frost Sentinels as the second-largest group and Jeyrhans as the third. Geba has the largest Engineered population on the planet, where they are treated as equals to natural-borns rather than weapons. Many war veterans and failed Yuvaari fighters settle here to train contractors and aspiring pilots. From Jeyrhan innovators to Ngorrhali warriors, Berinese sailors to Thazvaari merchants, Geba absorbs all into a unified culture of opportunity and order—making it the only place where anything is possible for the average citizen without turning to corruption, underworld groups, or syndicates.
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.
