As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzhggoQLIs
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeoV7PEUNL
greatness is known to all.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4GJwSrBtW
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9X6mu7AFT
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznQCtUKBgM
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iN1nXQEqC
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nVGcO8SaX
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRzmuuPbLB
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F5Fba8SS3
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h5nStFid3
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChYsHaSlU5
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MmWU54L1C
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hDCGQgYwo
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLniBnYU11U
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hLy4Of9cH
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CjMFoBfvV
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGNVCxWyxn
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FuZYc9AAA
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZX8EzQuVf
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmzMrJ2XWH
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UL5ttxkqs
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkCp7IZQNY
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrEyCLmAeY
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKg1caKICr
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwFhlprIsZ
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bICJUjMFn
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d81yMzzM4
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI8D0utdLy
He is a dangerous man.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWqYRwWEAA
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeizJxdgGI
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtND5I9h6P
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1bZwmoDRj
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdrZhUd0D7
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYamjQFZbP
starvation.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9BucwwCt5
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OfhITheiM
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN37qCoz2vM
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMyrNDQW7X
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnfAqYU0mV
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdugbfgfpC
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTth6H5iGh
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuVLk9tuKU
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDsHb8ZqeX
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9GXC8pbXF
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitDtEq00tS
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bnW48gFnI
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EztRob1GE
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kHRBRqhhf
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwunwRYotfW
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIRZ9ngDQZ
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN0W247wSS
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFc5SdbvUO
and dark continents waiting to be explored.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5yK5cH16b
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5VbeeRtz5
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEPg1tAHz1
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB4cHovfk5
advancing so do their means of exploring.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNyh8VTqUi
