As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tPXm7guhO
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj0Z133gJc
greatness is known to all.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMG83s14dE
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnr4LoCplK
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeawWNmvFE
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08E6Q48Gto
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y4OV5jsxl
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5el8iB9uEJ
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHR3Htpks4
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfy943IcsB
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g7iq2dajT
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aSYz7d0nd
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwL5FPz63T
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmh53EDHua
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA4GGi4ZNq
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvryPUGLsJx
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV7Ngfc06h
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhH5h01Gon
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgre4jJBG2v
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAODoHuEN23
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFxkg2nh0q
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnYWtSEkoL
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfYMvgydpT
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpklqDuQjMo
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEgWnY3Vvf
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZMx1IosCY
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToNRLypS6M
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnqojNU6Os
He is a dangerous man.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3dgqTk5YP
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mMxST9CB9
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9IUmkerrP
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF6gIN9Hoi
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZoAupN797
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUqyb2Avl5
starvation.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKyxpA5a4k
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbJMfQUduZ
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3JBH8mJXW
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsleJNnV9Kz
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhJ1SqmmAD
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe0dy1fqLl
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMXCmzRsDr
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRNSSuENw5
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9rEZKOBVi
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqIisPqvAp
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeqtnJqoyS
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEJo3WRiVc
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATs16B9KVK
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB5AD8IKoL
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSwktGvfXM
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN32O4Uysmg
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYSJI5LxXY
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCeOvaU8CG
and dark continents waiting to be explored.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx08yzs029
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6vecqcviT
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouO5317gl2
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOdb1WUH9t
advancing so do their means of exploring.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lAuo7G53A
