He Who Allows – Vesselborn Codex

He Who Allows

The origin of creation; neither god nor creator, but the principle of allowance that makes all divergence and choice possible. Time, law, and existence arise by His permission. He never reverses what He has permitted and does not demand belief. All choice, Seraveth observation, and Velcrith ambition proceed from this foundational allowance. He measures alignment in structure alone, not motive or intent, correcting imbalance only when foundational choice is negated. When specific Velcrith violated free will by fully possessing humans, He Marked only those individuals—severing their connections to restore order, without spectacle or pursuit. On Geba, He did not intervene as the Empire erased memory, as any permitted structure sustains itself—even in erasure. All Vessels share this understanding of Him; differences of interpretation arise from geography and culture, but the core recognition remains unchanged.

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.
