The Jadenraptor is a colossal high-altitude raptor from the Uncharted Continent, wingspans exceeding 100 meters and limb musculature adapted for vertical soar and controlled descent, one of Geba's largest aerial species yet non-aggressive, avoiding human contact entirely and abandoning nests if disturbed, vanishing beyond all trace when pursued. Its feathers emit brilliant green reflectance under stellar light, blinding pilots and contributing to mid-air accidents, while high intelligence allows reasoning rather than conventional training, responding to tone, intent, and ritual in rare bonds with Yuvaari tamers who ride them in festival hunts or crossings without breeding or caging, most vanishing after a season. They are believed to live up to 1,200 years. Their eggs have occasionally been discovered in eastern Inland Thazvaar and Yuvaar. Most fail to hatch, but the rare survivors take immediate flight toward the Uncharted, unassisted. Unlike the aggressive Violetraptor, the Jadenraptor's aversion to humans remains unexplained, its flight patterns and nesting habits poorly understood due to observation avoidance, with relay anomalies and scout logs its only records, believed ancestral to the Violetraptor, and protected by unspoken migratory route laws among navigators.
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.
