The Gelivox Stalker is a large feline predator of Kela’s icy drifts and polar shelves. Named after the Kelan colonly Gelivox, it is 3–4 meters long and 400–600 kg, its muted-color patterns and light-reactive dermis camouflaging it in snow for near-invisibility, paired with near-pitch-black vision that lets it stalk prey unseen for days. Territorial and solitary, it uses a forward-curving claws to slash in rush ambushes, following humans for days for food and attacking if starved long enough. The Kelan historically feared it, carving its image into warnings of relentless danger.
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.
