Eira Vey

Alias: The Unordained Seer, The Keeper of Silent Truths, The Archivist of the Divine
Era: Absolute Expansion (~3,000–2,500 Years Before Modern Geba)
Affiliation: Geban Empire (Independent Scholar, Formerly of the Rite-House)

Eira Vey began as a priestess-in-training in the Geban capital’s rite-house, but quietly chose to leave before her ordination—not out of rebellion, but from the need to seek truths beyond what doctrine permitted. Her insight and discipline caught the attention of Prince Ashan'Raeth Vareth, who invited her as the recorder of his legendary expedition. With unwavering calm, she documented signs of Velcrith and Seraveth mergings in forgotten provinces, providing records that expanded imperial understanding of Vessel phenomena. Eira’s silent commitment to accuracy and preservation allowed truths to endure long after empires shifted, marking her as the foremost chronicler of the era.

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.
