Ngorrhal Ice Bear

Alias: None
Origin: Ngorrhal and Kela (glacial valleys, high-altitude ice fields)

The Ngorrhal Ice Bear is a colossal hypercarnivorous predator of Ngorrhal, Ukhaalstaag, and Kela's glacial valleys and ice fields, its pale or mottled-grey fur blending into rocky outcrops or snow mounds for silent ambushes from ridgelines or crevasses, head larger than a Frost Sentinel's body overpowering packs of Greater Smilohounds with chilling intellect that targets humans despite abundant megafauna, killing without feeding in sport-like behavior baffling researchers. Living 500–700 years and maturing at 15–20 it claims vast territories that become impassable to expeditions. It is often hunted by groups of post-service Assault-Class Engineered who seek out the, much larger, male variants. It is banned for use in the Yuvaar Hunting Games following fatal events. Encounters are unwinnable; survival demands retreat to confined terrain like caves or ruins where its massive frame cannot maneuver. Firing at it on open ground is certain death. If ambushed, be perfectly still.

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.
