As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFlE8GigKj
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dnyHJY0eh
greatness is known to all.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVioTAEAojP
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOK76fjpmc
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAnpDeDU95
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml5XUKJs7K
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaueZB68EUk
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnU9aiFVqa
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrG2MXEPwr
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTehJ38VIY
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfW6J590gg
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobR4Xo4alG
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tZFD50SJ1
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD4R7FBMY0
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDCYqLkA1x
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8T9wAsfUY
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBzQYoHdYx
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEfVhE2kLd
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBzicW0a0K
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB54TqXpDKF
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBSpIHfDlz
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg44PJGTwSd
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn71gQwgHV
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oeWh9lWNs
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhmegDss7q
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwl8akjLy4
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aRfgtd1rC
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiw9aV2Fgi
He is a dangerous man.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd8wNqsz7B
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeTB1LsFHE
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVOtyOg9ke
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo2eRZnvRg
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MJTqnuvW3
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSPTfUwDlb
starvation.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeW2HQeHkn
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSg0MtPZWp
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U3vRBSiYA
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnkUwS7Mo1
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6KrEmy99w
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAPuNcrUXA
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj4yVU1Fmd
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke04YJJNyR
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk0oQ06bnN
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxSt5MK1AO
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLXqSiHFsb
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfj3qfssmb
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeVPltKrLY
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp6rfYtU0a
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JDkstwMkK
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEGEvmt6oW
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm19peCM60
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5neg4TkC2X
and dark continents waiting to be explored.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3rPPVbI3C
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bzfyLwRu4
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke8fRxH8ep
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7zloiIU4e
advancing so do their means of exploring.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4NAhH5wOI
