As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFhbAuDeWQ
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nOWbakQNa
greatness is known to all.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOlVD8aHOK
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJux0zU3k6
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXXtNJJHhY
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0nS9CnQ4m
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFA3caeqPd
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T05L6nVF2
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswU3uCHWrG
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq9Qm4a9WJ
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCizaS7z3X3
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmY0VULYpO
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LidAapgMm
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMnVJpi5oK
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBMS3TWiTq
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2wcoI3iDE
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc7u5x7wH9
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWROynEgPfx
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrA2QtLRrM
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEFeTt8BYF
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjmbCIoy9H
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjEfOL8pQa
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2auposGacR
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvmkHdh5Es
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDRCDUMiFd
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9cnR90c3e
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgNsArn3ci
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEDdjYrNmx
He is a dangerous man.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUYZSpFa44
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKV0b3kIvS
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGme61YCeBd
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYl59nhKuh
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T0BQZZDSv
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLvzKCVioi
starvation.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTIY9LEB1s
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6gvbkKKeV
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzAAR0wQGj
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSva67713nx
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAAHTd0jB3
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQaAE82IJE
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8fDBuHZoz
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDga4bw7j3O
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtHK6JvoL4
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡash2KyU6am
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71Hci3HCyP
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4sRKZxUG3
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2zgJyvHR0
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoKL6KeDnu
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG2y7F8LuA
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSQa9LwiSP
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI70aEHmN9I
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtMLC8CmmQ
and dark continents waiting to be explored.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGGFuCVUfM
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS2G98H9hl
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBLFl0lGsm
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63xbSe9dFi
advancing so do their means of exploring.
