As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyyC0qzW0R
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOReeqLFb1
greatness is known to all.393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0zmjkpIUu
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSiXWwp328
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVntjKuMwR
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a8Soifzoy
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55gpKD66UT
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgstdaD1vG9
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvpMG2ObBk
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtihstSh6Z
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJyv2kYd8Z
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTnoNDmRII
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoCPT3txud
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7s75Y8Wd4
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIswBEdpu3l
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCWQVKNTIV
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxqXw9sFx5
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjViUZuflMi
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qHvHTJaN3
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuM24V8tkw
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLVSzUcca8
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2ET8kabDz
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTleUYk9TBJ
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSQlOAzJsc
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYUfk3VlaC
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYCSalzYEs
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoedD279DOE
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JFZNCGN7k
He is a dangerous man.393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj0nreXQos
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwx5VZI15M
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwI4tUbFyy
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhKVbfWvvU
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxWD0aBXAt
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYyzI8Uuzw
starvation.393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zvueOIK6g
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj92wFxBre
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCb3fsL0Sl
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9790MwN5bY
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0b3IzpWoO
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwowm6XSF2
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPlTaiKJK2
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcvbipZjLi
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXt3YppWnO
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWMI7MQ6nK
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mBYrxxjNx
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV0b1l0jF9
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO5RtcUPRH
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7okguwQQp
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNjiKrhfcL
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIdgVVonzH
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBR8pJCNyu
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFN9Uhdxtj
and dark continents waiting to be explored.393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlroWXvDtzo
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6aRVPl7M3
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDI61X54Ky
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDo3pAIoMQ
advancing so do their means of exploring.393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdfuDIzYIN
