As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,409Please respect copyright.PENANA5qcAA34xlF
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their409Please respect copyright.PENANArYWGBDM0pb
greatness is known to all.409Please respect copyright.PENANAWMWyPKe2eJ
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and409Please respect copyright.PENANA7AwD6DjTVW
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless409Please respect copyright.PENANA7djmAUKf3P
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his409Please respect copyright.PENANAuIYHlWFFA4
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.409Please respect copyright.PENANACex8ynrqqt
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.409Please respect copyright.PENANAanwItChWKQ
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,409Please respect copyright.PENANAlukHWm5Cr9
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.409Please respect copyright.PENANAyEqZ1GGYP4
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest409Please respect copyright.PENANA5ko3JCUKa2
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is409Please respect copyright.PENANAKH8nrEDyJr
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of409Please respect copyright.PENANABh13jZ048H
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any409Please respect copyright.PENANACZdYn3h1fg
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come409Please respect copyright.PENANAIpUAqJkZwA
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has409Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1qxmMPfqs
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.409Please respect copyright.PENANAi9blJi167Y
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost409Please respect copyright.PENANASqMXlEMUpz
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?409Please respect copyright.PENANAEEv3VJlFNp
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant409Please respect copyright.PENANAvDcZoNSl0F
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in409Please respect copyright.PENANAfR1D1V1qo0
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally409Please respect copyright.PENANAZMhXj5hfqP
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the409Please respect copyright.PENANAfm9hwzagu0
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.409Please respect copyright.PENANAGpksVdmCn1
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by409Please respect copyright.PENANA3X9QjOmvQu
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and409Please respect copyright.PENANANmrxikWsm1
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing409Please respect copyright.PENANAtE0z25vKEC
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.409Please respect copyright.PENANA5A7nJSpn21
He is a dangerous man.409Please respect copyright.PENANAKuXM24vc9n
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human409Please respect copyright.PENANAFzkQulyTUD
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels409Please respect copyright.PENANAsjvpWpJQvc
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens409Please respect copyright.PENANAbYsY4mxIUL
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the409Please respect copyright.PENANAlXl8IFK7nU
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of409Please respect copyright.PENANAhaaGU8ns0A
starvation.409Please respect copyright.PENANARoa8W2pcxG
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing409Please respect copyright.PENANAXFvHWqElar
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the409Please respect copyright.PENANARSSTkQyENI
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting409Please respect copyright.PENANAWuN5RugxaC
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for409Please respect copyright.PENANA4kDGbxVmBx
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely409Please respect copyright.PENANAjKn9k8LM3G
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they409Please respect copyright.PENANANY3HCvisf8
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their409Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7PGx4DGlU
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.409Please respect copyright.PENANAzInUfHqCQx
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth409Please respect copyright.PENANAv2jpJJ0F8M
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention409Please respect copyright.PENANAhsi2Vdo6iJ
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions409Please respect copyright.PENANA6k1ttTZ6wr
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is409Please respect copyright.PENANAV3FZKWwSx6
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses409Please respect copyright.PENANARtmSzXVvpG
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the409Please respect copyright.PENANAWVKEUNLs97
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover409Please respect copyright.PENANA3SU0vZThoK
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...409Please respect copyright.PENANAP5CSbSjoO0
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses409Please respect copyright.PENANA8Mjitn0Y8T
and dark continents waiting to be explored.409Please respect copyright.PENANAQyo3M7enVi
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size409Please respect copyright.PENANAawhhotf3HF
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much409Please respect copyright.PENANAhHBzEw73vz
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps409Please respect copyright.PENANAhDdewMrB6C
advancing so do their means of exploring.409Please respect copyright.PENANA4Q9ZrcOJeM
