The Aveh-Kislev Border is a tightly patrolled boundary in northern regions of the Ignas continent. It marks the frontier where the desert kingdom of Aveh to the south meets Kislev Empire in the north.
After repeated failures Gebler Commander Vanderkam was reassigned to the position of captain of the Kefeinzel to patrol this region, while the new commander Kahran Ramsus took command of the military in Aveh.
In order to keep the Kefeinzel at bay as Bart's forces infiltrate Bledavik, Fei Fong Wong leads a small group of Gears from Bart's crew to the Aveh-Kislev border. As Citan suspected, Vanderkam's insistence on using cannon fire over strategy works to the squad's advantage, and they are able to destroy the Kefeinzel's main guns, leaving it to sink.
As the crew evacuates the sinking ship, Vanderkaum pilots the Dora as a final attempt to destroy Fei's squad, but is defeated again. As Fei and his squad move away, Grahf arrives in his Gear, offering Vanderkam "the power", which he accepts.
As Fei's group receives word that Bart and the Yggdrasil are in trouble, the Dora reactivates and attacks. General Maitreya orders Fei to gather the wounded and go to assist Bart while he and his unit fend off the Dora to buy them some time. Fei refuses to leave, and helplessly watches the entire unit be slaughtered by the Dora. The trauma causes Id to emerge, and Vanderkam is destroyed.
