Velk’Phareon Daer

Alias: None
Era: Modern Geba
Affiliation: Church of the Infinite Maw (Arch-Theorist, Geneticist)

Velk’Phareon Daer was an Arch-Theorist and geneticist who emerged as the herald of the Doctrine of Adaptive Evolution (DAE) two years after Zairen Vaul began questioning his lineage and survival instincts, driven by an obsessive hunt for origins rather than clear doctrinal purpose, transforming Zairen’s personal inquiry into a global framework for volitional inheritance and genetic precision. Disliked by Vohk’tirrel for his clinical, detached stare that reduced others to categorized relics, Phareon finalized the DAE with his court of geneticists, cognitive architects, and ideological engineers, broadcasting it live during peak global streaming to declare the end of passive evolution—advocating directed will imprinted on blood, environmental hardship as curriculum, and the quiet excision of the Engineered as obsolete tools, whose traits would be absorbed while their autonomy dissolved. Phareon’s vision positioned the Entity as a model for humanity’s final form, where variation became error, resistance was outbred, and perfection emerged through replication of the ideal, marking him as a champion of the Maw’s philosophy without temple or saints, only relentless direction toward genetic agreement.

Legacy

  • Arch-Theorist who codified Zairen Vaul’s survival questions into the Doctrine of Adaptive Evolution, emphasizing volitional inheritance over passive drift
  • Driven by obsession for origin, transforming personal inquiry into a framework for designed evolution and environmental forging
  • Broadcast DAE globally, advocating hardship as curriculum, Entity as model, and excision/absorption of Engineered as tools unworthy of legacy
  • Viewed with detachment by allies like Vohk, symbolizing clinical precision over human connection
  • Championed Maw’s vision of genetic harmony, where variation is error and resistance is outproduced, not fought
  • Elevated as herald of inevitable resolution, concluding humanity’s flaws through replication of the flawless

Source Notes

  • "Two years after Zairen began asking questions about his lineage, Velk'Phareon Daer—Arch-Theorist and geneticist—emerged as a herald of future doctrine, driven by obsession more than clarity. He wasn't searching for purpose. He was hunting for origin."
  • "Vohk never cared for Phareon. The man always stared at him—not with hostility, but with that clinical, unsettling detachment that made Vohk feel less like a soldier and more like a malformed relic. Something categorized, but never understood."
  • "Back in the Crown, Phareon and his court finalized the official doctrine—and immediately went live... The broadcast began with Arch-Theorist Velk'Phareon Daer standing at the center of a vast, dim-lit conference hall. Behind him: the full court—geneticists, cognitive architects, ideological engineers."
  • "There is no longer use for waiting. The age of passive becoming has ended... We are the architects of what comes next. And what comes next is no longer biological. It is volitional."
  • "We have now reached the necessary excision. The Engineered... Now comes dissolution. Not through violence. Through removal. Quiet. Permanent. Historical."
  • "This is not cruelty. This is conclusion. The Engineered will vanish. The misborn will vanish. The ideal will multiply."

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.
