Geba

Alias: The Failed Star, The Parent of Children

Affiliation: Geban Empire (Planetary Core, Birthplace of Humanity)

Geba was the massive central planet—a brown dwarf failed star that accumulated cosmic debris over 117 billion years to form a habitable world orbited by three stars (Izhara, Zhaerys, Saethern) in the Braid system—shaped by Velcrith orchestration to enable life through gravitational manipulation and lunar alignments, witnessing countless species rises/collapses before humanity's emergence, serving as the cradle of the Geban Empire's unification and doctrines while enduring eras of conquest, stagnation, Fracture, Warlord chaos, and Modern Maw threats amid its extreme terrains and stellar dynamics, where the planet's scars from ancient mantle upheavals and stellar fury created a chaotic landscape of deep cracks, stratospheric peaks, active volcanoes, perpetual storms, tornadoes, and thermal extremes swinging from scorching heat to freezing cold under unrelenting stellar winds.

Terrain

Diverse and chaotic biomes blending megafault mountain ranges with deep crustal cracks exposing mantle layers, fertile deciduous forests and biologically rich deltas in heartlands like the imperial continent, shifting deserts and vine-tangled fungal forests in polar regions, vast overgrown jungles with mimicry ecosystems, and subsurface mineral-rich caverns housing devolved pre-human species, all in constant flux from geological and stellar forces.

Elevation

Extreme variations across continents: stratospheric peaks over 60 km in Ngorrhal and Thazvaar piercing the sky with lightning-crackling summits, deep fissures plunging kilometers in uncharted zones, modest rolling hills under 500 meters in Geba (continent) and Jeyrha, flat polar wastes in Northern Wastes and Kela, and layered rifts/valleys in far western megacontinents, shaped by ancient upheavals and lunar pulls creating unstable, defensive terrains.

Climate

Volatile global averages of 15–32°C in habitable zones, with extremes from ultra-cold subpolar -60°C in northern/southern poles to scorching 50–80°C in volcanic/desert interiors, swinging rapidly from blistering heat to freezing drops due to stellar winds and magnetic fields from Zhaerys/Izhara, fostering diverse but aggressive ecosystems under Saethern's constant silver watch.

Weather

Chaos of perpetual lightning across peaks, active volcanoes spewing ash amid eruptions, relentless storms with hail/wind gusts, tornadoes tearing basins, thermal migrations causing dust vortices and flash floods, high-altitude tunnels whipping blizzards, auroral flares/plasma halos from Izhara ionizing atmospheres, and bioluminescent mists in Saethera—unpredictable shifts from stellar dynamics making navigation hazardous without anchors.

Historical Significance

Formed as failed star from cosmic debris, Velcrith tilted conditions for life over billions of years amid species cycles/collapses; Seraveth/Velcrith merged to break humanity's fall, leading to erased pre-history and Empire's rise under Vaer’karesh on the namesake continent; hosted conquests (Thazvaar assimilation), gender edicts, Vessel chronicles by Raeth, Engineered creation, Fracture from Auren's death, Warlord broadcasts of performative death, and Modern Maw/Entity as world of blood/doctrine/free will measured by He Who Allows.

Culture

Unified Geban identity from imperial core continent blending regional traditions—hedonistic festivals and biology mastery in Jeyrha, warrior silence and endurance in Ngorrhal's Sentinels, performative verse in Thazvaar, simple tribal zealotry in Berinu, and pure metaphysics of He Who Allows across all—post-stellar societies emphasized adaptation, with music like Thundered Dirge/Solwave/Scarlet Verse reflecting pain, polish, and exultation, rejecting intermixing while revering Vessels and enduring extremes through doctrines like Blood Royal.
