Goldenwing

Alias: None
Origin: Yuvaar (coastal cliffs and inland forests)

The Goldenwing is an aggressive aerial predator of Yuvaar, with wingspans from 4 to 20 meters, using speed and grappling force to seize prey midair or pull larger animals to the ground with brutal accuracy. Nesting on cliff ledges and hunting across open forests, it rarely ventures beyond the coastline, its strikes stunning victims on impact. In the Yuvaari Hunting Games, it is foundational to the Ambusher class, with traditional beast hunts featuring Holders grappling it mid-flight or pinning it after descent—deadly encounters where falls and aerial collisions claim lives, but killing it is frowned upon as poor skill. A famous relay-broadcast feat shows a fighter leaping from a cliff to seize one barehanded, surviving the impact and fall, elevating the species to mythic status in Yuvaari martial tradition. The Bare Hand studied its dive-and-pin for infiltration. Territorial and solitary outside mating seasons, its population remains stable in protected nesting cliffs, ensuring the survival of Yuvaar's unarmed rituals and precise displays of strength.

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.
