As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21ueQPRG3w
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxd8OnxaHu
greatness is known to all.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuMzbDiW91
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu01W7DSx2s
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Eq91qertl
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV810trqFW
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GCWEgUgjA
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAibVIT86yp
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOye0d83d38
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt00nrZLrUJ
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqFSvNzryk
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD6WDCMfnp
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvSTzJ1ysU
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjKrRQSdvf
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJINW3lAgw
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyircJCOeH
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrOvPG8VQK
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKItvfeRFeY
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpatC9ACOds
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICa8CUpaiI
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXlPtJbdqT
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIs3M9mcfM
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hjG6t1z1N
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fxo06Wi3D
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKnU6dPMGs
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA8YDXhw4Q
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Pw7WWnXF
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnJKRPFMEU
He is a dangerous man.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIQ2J338N2
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP3JI7DULv
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRvH6czTuw
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgmUdPpJFb
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS9lx3q19B
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvxlP2lym1
starvation.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWqa9ysnfK
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04xOBk7tNN
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D7pNArC8a
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB47oKqjVx9
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdziOYqMsR
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjbgV3pEDt
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidd6xkYSS6
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5jmcyYxCR
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9FkQwxhXD
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CHKk0ENOa
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoYLYEikyH
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVcSaDfniL
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSbs2PChRa
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW7Ehp54a7
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn03J2u5xn
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqklMTKVnu2
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XvWsWJajv
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CQcO8L1bC
and dark continents waiting to be explored.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJQO34efb2
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKDuIRA0Go
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IPHB9nf8a
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL2I1a0CEk
advancing so do their means of exploring.
