As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxJlNj5q9v
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdKCwM2SpO
greatness is known to all.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOhL2fYfAW
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nAtZi7GFN
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmtKiHFm0K
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW39SvvDPs
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzTlXdB1KC
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBmT9K5ztg
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ9PakJo8e
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TuSfSu1Sr
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgniCPheMJR
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2QQX9nK1f
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFZCe2Vauv
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtEPkoDspy
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmha3i4jxzf
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AT8tD6Hqy
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdccmJUxce
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzm3msuuhr
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fJckkQ1Da
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DhUIaLewf
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pjGVdCPTz
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIekVUhcJ5q
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOVSwR16Hc
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpErL9S9s4
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4RQm3jbfg
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9qOzVFDnb
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvtdhvRWI4
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62WYFFC5Dp
He is a dangerous man.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHKqrWptXd
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmibYrUBZwD
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkzxaV7vEM
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ePDsJGIqb
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7roAxn55jl
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SRzD4kbbq
starvation.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERAIdvbSBP
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcf8ynKWtC
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99UfMRgInp
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS2b40mUY5
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d42sQg3mp
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu9R17ga8Z
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzVZN2KIUs
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXtNDgamU2
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVpACRkiyD
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUgkWbHI1v
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPqRouansI
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zfpcNl6s9
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fvw2OJuwX
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yhGXkPsj8
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87MobtlRKc
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23OMh90Vnk
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ij55GIOgD
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWIKX3WuKe
and dark continents waiting to be explored.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkowp22LQ9o
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p5JTIn78P
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh0lfhwmVN
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij5Ni8FG0I
advancing so do their means of exploring.348Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfMBsYRZCO
