-Until the coming of the archmage Nex (person)|Nex, Geb was a reasonably peaceful nation. In -892 Ar, Nex's expansion southward into Geb ignited the most infamous magical rivalry in Golarion|Golarion's history as Geb plunged the land into war with neighbouring Nex (named in honour of the nation's archmage ruler). During one of the most deadly exchange of spell power, the necromancer Geb sucked the life from most of the land surrounding the cities of neighbouring Nex by the use of ''wish|wishes''. In return, Nex blighted the lands of Geb with a series of cataclysms that decimated the population. Geb responded by animating casualties into legions of the walking dead, beginning Geb's reliance on undead.+Until the coming of the archmage Nex (person)|Nex, Geb was a reasonably peaceful nation.

 After another vicious attack in 576 AR, Nex vanished into the Refuge of Nex; to date no trace has been found of him. Geb knew that Nex was still alive, and was distraught that he did not get to vanquish his centuries-old rival. After several decades living in resentment, his torment grew unbearable and he committed ritual suicide in 632 AR. However, it was to no avail, as Geb's rage, disappointment, and necromantic connections led to him returning as a ghost and dooming him to continue an undead existence until he can be sure of his old rival's fate. After another vicious attack in 576 AR, Nex vanished into the Refuge of Nex; to date no trace has been found of him.

 Anyone who dies on Gebbite soil is reanimated as a mindless undead creature to serve the state in eternal bondage. Those with sufficient clout or wealth generally circumvent this procedure, and willingly transform themselves into an intelligent undead creature, either through dark magics, or simply by letting themselves be killed by ghouls, vampires, or other creatures with the ability to create such progeny. This act is seen as a great service to the state, although it does create a large population of lesser intelligent undead who see themselves as vastly superior to their unintelligent brethren, yet lack any true power. Anyone who dies on Gebbite soil is reanimated as a mindless undead creature to serve the state in eternal bondage.

With relatively few living citizens to feed, these are traded with Nex in return for rare components and luxury goods.
