Coastal Thazvaar

Alias: none

Affiliation: Geban Empire (Conquered and Integrated Region)

Coastal Thazvaar was the assimilated coastal region of the eastern continent Thazvaar, once a technological naval stronghold of the Thazvaari Dominion that challenged the Empire with advanced infrastructure and military might, becoming superficially peaceful post-conquest with impeccable rail/water systems and cultural fusion like Scarlet Verse festivals, serving as a model of integration while masking inherited inland conflicts like piracy and criminal resurgence, symbolizing the Empire's hard-won but incomplete victory where Geban and Thazvaari blood merged into a stable, hospitable population.

Terrain

Functioning jungle cities with extensive rail networks, water systems, and coastal estuaries blending urban structures with humid vegetation, supporting trade ports and assimilated settlements.

Elevation

Low-lying coastal plains and gentle rises rarely exceeding 200 meters, with flat estuaries and terraced lowlands ideal for rail integration and urban development.

Climate

Humid tropical with lingering moisture from jungles, averages 25–35°C, fostering warm, wet conditions moderated by ocean breezes and stellar influences.

Weather

Moist rolls from jungles causing damp heat that clings without breaking, occasional rains and stellar-induced auroral flares, with predictable humidity but sudden coastal squalls.

Culture

Melting pot of Geban and Thazvaari fusion, with no dividing lines in blood or speech; hospitable with unregulated festivals like Scarlet Verse—women-led performances blending ritual, warrior aesthetics, and intimacy exalting endurance—drawing crowds for visceral music distinct from Dirge or Solwave; children play freely, terminals default to imperial script, reflecting full assimilation without bitterness.

Historical Significance

Part of Thazvaar Dominion's naval powerhouse, conquered after centuries of war with coasts assimilated as facades of stability under Imperators like Veris’Kal Therak and Kanesh’Tar Zeren; integrated infrastructure like rails adopted empire-wide; post-conquest, became model of cultural merger while inheriting piracy suppression failures; hosted Raeth's expedition audiences, enduring as trade/diplomatic hub through stagnation and Modern threats.

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.
