As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLI2ikphKk
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8iAwwGEDW
greatness is known to all.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutrBkaeccd
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlsrxa5fwk
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxBKMTmxOY
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypHeTHp4zj
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bx4NkFofq
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFJnAJsU3i
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2To0LhpLt9
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ5UACOdtq
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3saj2vKrJg
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxoQsxmfDp
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ua17jOU4G
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsXizVEuzx
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3WzBDYVA9
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3jPOndrQd
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT5OxPcxjl
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWJOEjmgMW
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTPzBwylVW
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm89SWJ1C4R
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupyef9XFhK
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3T8VNRGjI
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79e4AOkARu
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywvvi88zLD
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38YIgPLW0p
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqG1MUbUbh
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKgsrwpzg6
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAECXvViWuF
He is a dangerous man.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HsUQ0Zwbm
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSAHYFkAvs
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr36rn1dp7C
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjx9Y72tzl
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8byr7Q92f3
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIg3cu46bx
starvation.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ5MyImwTp
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE88SYfpQM
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCOUy6uF9m
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYGWFSqKCK
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqfCMBHvF1
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20lwnwdnNW
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZCwdIbCRm
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0JeKin9R0
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI5xgGzmez
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41OzAy78Wz
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFsqh62psn
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQlfxb0gb6
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdsW4wqO4Z
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIRAJMgARA
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOcviIbT1j
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpmrmExaHm
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh8GtBD3sK
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Vap4w34n
and dark continents waiting to be explored.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX8hfxCG2S
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlifXcfaUS
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FLrDysqze
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1GyQmaGXg
advancing so do their means of exploring.
