This one, the second Era of this world... the aptly called Age of Pursuit...394Please respect copyright.PENANAaJANIGL7jb
The Centra were gone but the world would continue, still bound to their will but394Please respect copyright.PENANANoOezwprMJ
now without their guiding hand. Instead, it would be all that they had left behind that394Please respect copyright.PENANANoBMj9GHoM
would now set a new curse for the world after them. Once the Centra had claimed this394Please respect copyright.PENANAcvnk6BkKVl
world to themselves, thanks to their mastery of all sciences, magics and technology394Please respect copyright.PENANAhDS9SOQSGY
that provided them with the unparalleled (hateful profanities to some and cause for394Please respect copyright.PENANAahptisstxm
divine worship to others) that ran rampant across the entire planet to this very day.394Please respect copyright.PENANATX5LP6mwft
All that they built and accomplished, all that defined their very existence; an entire394Please respect copyright.PENANAkrhfa5RKN3
empire spanning across all continents, all seas and the one sky, was left behind for394Please respect copyright.PENANAmvxFVNmN4g
those that would eventually follow.394Please respect copyright.PENANA2jphwbsWRC
Who would dare guess how long it came to pass since the world woke up one day in394Please respect copyright.PENANAAxlXjgde38
complete silence, the sound of their rulership absent, before life would finally resume394Please respect copyright.PENANACBGdwy6EL4
its course? With no more thunderous machines or hovering cities, and with no more394Please respect copyright.PENANAeRBLlyjbRd
Centra to command it all, an entire world was now free. How long for the first races394Please respect copyright.PENANA3A6oaMENl3
to sprout forth and begin their own curse, and does any of it matter?394Please respect copyright.PENANAdzKnE21JLO
Eventually, of course, they did. And little by little they grew. At first, little more394Please respect copyright.PENANANW2ml0bDFX
than animals scrapping for food but in time they would master several forms of394Please respect copyright.PENANAi9itgneHCc
hunting and fishing, and from there they would evolve to the races of our current time.394Please respect copyright.PENANAr23QAbnLRk
Slowly but surely, that was how the current races of this world came about. Humans394Please respect copyright.PENANAluE2YFVJqV
and those that would later call themselves the Nharkim as well as countless others;394Please respect copyright.PENANAqroFMM35hh
Twinkledinnes, Sandrackar, Maruic, Dreibos and many more. And for an exceedingly394Please respect copyright.PENANAk56vto3rmV
long time, they were just that, tribes of fishermen and hunters struggling to find shelter394Please respect copyright.PENANAvac0ujt8BO
from the heavy rains. Nothing more than primitive and superstitious creatures, each394Please respect copyright.PENANAfjbp3PmcPc
with their customs and fears for the world may have been silent, the Centra absent,394Please respect copyright.PENANAphMvpJeXmF
but fear still roamed the lands and kept all living things in check, regardless of beliefs.394Please respect copyright.PENANAnzrnhflT0h
And would continue to do so for aeons. I would claim it still does so, even today, if394Please respect copyright.PENANA04JwhSNWlI
only for the less privileged.394Please respect copyright.PENANAPzQBO5wJOc
Our current Era really began, as always, with an apparent meaningless action of394Please respect copyright.PENANAN5dpz1ZzfJ
not much importance, but enough to start the largest of all chain of events. That small394Please respect copyright.PENANAM61ZJhkPsj
gesture that opened the way for what would define our world to this very day; the Era394Please respect copyright.PENANAooZ9uDo4T6
of Pursuit began, the moment a member of the small and meek tribe of Twinkledinnes,394Please respect copyright.PENANABdOI5nKyc5
one of the tiniest races one could ever hope to meet, decided to venture forth into one394Please respect copyright.PENANAvq8vlwKrMY
of the forbidden zones. Any area where Centra remnants were known to exist were394Please respect copyright.PENANAfB5TaNjgIR
best avoided - a taboo.394Please respect copyright.PENANA8d6PykYc3b
What was the motive that drove such a small creature?394Please respect copyright.PENANA5S2uDYlLpr
That is now lost to us, dissolved in the ebb and flow of time but the result of such an394Please respect copyright.PENANATYvXG8XCMS
action defines all things today. Into one of the Centra ruins that Twinkledinne went394Please respect copyright.PENANAbv1XpGTRf5
and when he came out, he did so with something in his hands. That very moment,394Please respect copyright.PENANAcuaXRP0e5b
where this small creature showed there was not only nothing to fear from those areas394Please respect copyright.PENANAyA4Bptyp2m
but there were also rewards to be picked up, that was when this Era truly began.394Please respect copyright.PENANAfiVx9jtWxi
Word began to spread, and the veil of fear and superstition was lifted. All tribes,394Please respect copyright.PENANAN8OfQJHl6g
in time, came to learn that there was nothing to fear from venturing into Centra394Please respect copyright.PENANAzFgbnFQxUU
territories. No longer were these Centra remnants cursed places, to be feared and394Please respect copyright.PENANA3ivguIk6bs
avoided for either religious reasons imposed by most tribes or the mere common sense394Please respect copyright.PENANAnT1kJ3KwO0
of the passing traveller. No. Now anything Centra was a place to be actively sought out394Please respect copyright.PENANAffltX2SqOA
and where fortune could be found. One by one every tribe of every race got into this,394Please respect copyright.PENANA3W6wYBem5s
offering handsome rewards to anyone presenting them with anything made by Centra,394Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ohwlf6m5E
even to those outside their own race.394Please respect copyright.PENANAbCiSdXVLFn
And so, greed was ironically enough, the will that broke any previous isolation and394Please respect copyright.PENANAIAEqV2abGc
made most embrace outside relations. But what brought all the races together would394Please respect copyright.PENANAxEgXLhgGQP
also tear them apart. At first, most things were bought and sold as decorum, but as394Please respect copyright.PENANA7Dmj1gS2qv
time went on and the races kept evolving and learning from these finds, their value and394Please respect copyright.PENANAZNNMEdMtfZ
their importance kept increasing.394Please respect copyright.PENANA08I6ueMl04
From the study and learning of these Centra finds, most races began evolving,394Please respect copyright.PENANAlPvzkWz9Bc
building, finding cures for the sick and easier ways to withstand the cold storms.394Please respect copyright.PENANAEZxnJwLuys
It became obvious to all that this was their future, that the finding of more and more394Please respect copyright.PENANA3eLI7Kkx77
Centra technology, or anything concerning it, was their new path.
