As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJM3I4MdUv
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVBgZIMKW4
greatness is known to all.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs1E5BKsn8
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkSlMAaY76
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYXIjKANM4
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUh6h6Ggvm
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uohp1Mzp6
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzBMyrYtyj
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU0PYgiu5G
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukXvt51jFs
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNbSZYXpPu
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw2PJvEJn3
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHgoCW1ghT
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZo5L8UTep
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf3f4ROnSF
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbnuCTz6u2
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEi8H3GObH
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmmni7WUWD
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ7uc9B8ZQ
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyWmpByxev
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCBwFWt7bf
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcZ6bUhEsp
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL1Vl3X7s1
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQucqINhaIE
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsrutl7SOB
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBy5DGVo1Z
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BdjLK66Sf
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xirmsVAb4
He is a dangerous man.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vDpid8QoB
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB1YNKmyHY
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dOKo2Vz2g
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8kYnXefzV
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdXUeH5ygJ
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLlgzunMg6
starvation.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y84DEvJNt
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN12BFVesq
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YuemWN2oQ
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMWeNCziep
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bIcAsHIWA
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgbbky4UML
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqkD4OPHNz
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mj0PzuPwW
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwunVILz3X
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPmi80vSCz
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SXJZ72OAL
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2otXscudk
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWVG8YlGxZ
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2MF1DJYA1
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AFzPeJEQX
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m2uYksyBe
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjs0eyaq6q
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI61XdQg41
and dark continents waiting to be explored.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB9oVbC4sf
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ845eZ11h97
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkGrrEWUsU
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaXky4C8Jf
advancing so do their means of exploring.
