Kela
Alias: The Northern Polar Land Location: North of Ngorrhal and western Thazvaar (polar continent)
Kela is Geba's vast northern polar continent—the only landmass directly connected to the Uncharted Continent—a frontier of frozen plains, polar shelves, and geothermal vents where the Kelan people thrive with unmatched climbing skills and endurance. Autonomous colonies established in the Era of Late Conquest serve as refuges for ex-warlords, criminals, and outcasts seeking escape from imperial oversight, highlighting Kela's role as a haven of independence amid its harsh landscape. The Kela Maritime Guild specializes in underwater technologies for polar and subsurface operations, powering elite and military gear with Sentinel Division and Joxi Industrial Holdings energy sources. Devolved species like the Neron lurk in geothermal vents, while fossils of the extinct Boretheris Titan dot the plateaus. Ioe Jerhit founded mercenary groups here to escort settlers and hunt fugitives, later coercing engineers to develop Uncharted survival tech in fortified compounds. Kela has very few hubs and no native relays—relying entirely on Ngorrhal's super-massive relay infrastructure. Northern Kela near the Uncharted border is a near-black zone with poor connectivity, avoided by most due to lack of infrastructure and support. Temperatures range from -40°C to -10°C with ice storms and wind tunnels, but Kelan's resilience turns the deadly cold into home, proving skill and grit surpass size in the face of endless frost.
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.
