Alias: None
Origin: Jeyrha (coastal shallows, urban zones, southern island)
The Jeyrhan are a coastal people native to Jeyrha, a southern island over the Ngorrhal Ocean. Renowned for bio-engineering advancements and sustainable marine practices, they are distinguished by light brown hair, grey-blue eyes, and precise, melodic speech. Peacefully assimilated into the Geban Empire during the Era of Imperial Conquest (~3,000 YBM), they retain cultural identity through hedonistic festivals, environmental engineering, and diplomatic influence via oligarchic families like the Haavu. A disproportionate amount of Geba’s technology is developed and engineered by Jeyrhans, a legacy beginning with the polymath Xerik Haavu’s invention of the Haavu Cannon Systems, which became decisive artillery during the war with Thazvaar. Since then, Jeyrhans have dominated imperial innovation, producing breakthroughs in weaponry, vehicles, energy, and intelligence systems. They are also a markedly itinerant people, traveling the empire more freely than most others—north from Jeyrha to Kela, or east across the Ngorrhal Ocean to Thazvaar—acting as merchants, engineers, and envoys. This mobility, combined with their technical influence, sustains their reputation as a free and progressive people within Geba’s rigid imperial order.
70–100 years; maturity at 13–17 years.
Documented in the Comprehensive Field Codex during the Era of Absolute Expansion (~3,000 YBM), the Jeyrhan sustained Jeyrha’s coastal ecosystems. Their peaceful assimilation enriched Geba’s bio-engineering capabilities. Reykhaal, their capital, remains a hub of innovation and cultural exchange, with Haavu oligarchs influencing imperial trade and diplomacy. Extant and progressive, the Jeyrhan remain central to Jeyrha’s identity and Geba’s advancements.
