A long time ago all things that were or could hope to be, were under420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8Hf5fr38p
the guidance of the wisest; those known today only as the ´Centra´.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9JD0WUhYC
They alone were the keepers of the Age of Growth and they alone kept420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wEs0p7KT3
watch over the world itself from high atop their floating cities and other sources of420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26GMi09xt6
awe. They surveyed and kept the balance with the aid and grace of their immeasurable420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZvaNLCzBY
achievements. Impressive feats born from their mastery of the darkest of magics: a420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjHkJU0HEG
power they called science. Feats to be remembered always through mistranslated420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BTvnlq68L
words and long, half-forgotten, fables carried across generations throughout all the420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyu3cnjHVJ
corners of this exhausted world. Stories and fairy tales, words of the very old to the420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JXXnvkRxj
very young as scattered memories intertwine themselves with legend, as glory and420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmmjttZ8EM
fascination eventually turn to dread and warning.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfd0OFsfpS
Narrations of incredible proportions, their words and bolstering claims easily420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsurkXpEQG
supported by the remaining Centra achievements, left for everyone to see upon this420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XApmwBghk
dreaded world; large constructions, all arrogant and defiant in their design.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvs3l5ALCj
Temples standing proud to this day atop higher mountains while waiting for the420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsCyMEdeds
brave or the foolish to step up to the challenge.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r8WtD8E8D
Cities, magnificent still, that once stood shoulder to shoulder with any cloud, now420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTurHfqsmT3
just ruins upon the scarred land making up the landscapes of deserts, oceans, forests,420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZBQ1qaVIe
and lakes. All of this creates a world that supplies and displays proof to these narrations420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTkYd3rRmo
regardless of how fantastic and unbelievable some of those assembled sentences may420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFwOdz1hGd
seem to the smallest of listeners.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92fSMH4ORT
Words are always passed on with foreboding tones, for the meaning within420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9kGrCiAav
its message is always the same, one of hubris and the collapse that always ensues.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaVy0Zuwvh
The Centra were felled, by what real reason one can only speculate, but gone is their420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDQwOhJB63
mighty civilisation, lost to us and it was a mystery that to this day no one can be420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNsZIgFBH4
certain of their fate. For with all that they achieved and all the power they once held;420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A9HvRGCn4
they were the rulers of an entire world and handlers of unmatched technologies,420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqAkTHhorz
they would still - mysteriously - disappear without a trace, leaving behind only their420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10ozQjoTn1
accomplishments. As many and as impressive as their feats seem, even today, the fears420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfwm8eBx9j
were not enough to save them from whatever fate befell them. During their long reign,420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzTwJHStx9
for countless millennia, they reshaped all the lands and built a world in their image.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagiMV8XZZC
They had the power to do so, and they did. They created and they destroyed.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZEEK54B3w
How many wonders disappeared under the Centra’s thumb? How many were born420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzXkdXjlCu
from their desire to create?420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMmdR5X3pP
All of this they did, until one night, in just one night, suddenly, their entire race420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtWl6ds2JN
was extinguished! What was this mysterious event of cataclysmic proportions that420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeVum66TWO
in a single swoop robbed the world of their biggest prize, not even leaving behind a420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRqu96OGYu
single corpse?420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwDZQeoRR0
What caused the mass extinction of these chosen and sent all their cities and other420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALeeKw4909
flying stations crashing down towards the earth below?420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevN5Hz8P4J
The more that is revealed to us about the Centra, the closer we get to perceive their420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQFpYKhQMh
real magnitude, the more fascinating and alluring the mystery of their disappearance420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CMHXyExeR
becomes. Still, the whole world is, and likely forever will be, the largest testimony for420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W49BciYgO
all that the Centra ever were and forever achieved.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lVSFAOd53
A whole world that even now, as it slowly awaits its collapse, persistently sings to420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVLH7nXAXv
their glory. The Centra departed leaving behind a world of unshackled magics and420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr1qnuNeXE
soon to be poorly resurrected technologies. With their absence, and their machines420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YyVXKVwEe

Centra left behind, in time, a new Era would begin...
