Emperor Venar’Tal Kareth is recorded as the greatest conqueror in Geban history. His reign saw the absorption or destruction of all rival civilizations within reach, extending the Empire’s control across every planetary region capable of supporting human life. Venar’Tal formalized military dominance through the creation of the Shield of Geba, the Emperor’s Wrath, the Frost Sentinels, and the Sky Hammers. He enforced the systematic execution of conquered males, deepened the gender deficit, and erased ancestral identities to solidify imperial rule.

When Venar’Tal learned of a plot to assassinate his son, Prince Venar’Nethel, he intervened to prevent the murder. Rather than permit his son’s death at the hands of the court, Venar’Tal ordered Nethel’s exile—protecting his life, but severing him from the line of succession. This decision, motivated by necessity and loyalty, led directly to Nethel’s authorship of the First Doctrine of Blood Royal in exile.
