As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5DLSen76z
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9BtaDb5QB
greatness is known to all.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRUMRB1iqb
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2VWzLXja1
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffUA57NsMa
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBxi5TCR5C
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvblzMNC7v
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PbnqgclpQ
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf853XGy7cd
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qm3Vfa5D8
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwYjJpiTQH
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4XI89wB5R
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPCo1e5ib0
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupH0VwGWax
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGeA1za7BT
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9eD4ihyzn
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoGrjx7nkN
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtVYNlnQvR
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PdEe3Ened
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsnCjxfhfx
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡussTXAUIpd
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6AZXzN7hY
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4eE5FM1F2
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs64kPULDHZ
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWt92SOV7b
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb53AAPHnk
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHHgjlvCyZ
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH2HkRIKsH
He is a dangerous man.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2jUewDlZx
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a9IIEmyWR
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThoa048GPK
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv14FmXFcKU
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RyN3ptQTx
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXhU033m5a
starvation.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV6srEBAB5
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM0jL89tGo
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LLdo6X8e8
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzd7qGHoCX
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7peYnTTxy
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgtyMDcGzf
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCNHumVirr
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoH3mtpg8l
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr70iKe3sxy
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SKXy6czmr
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW8ozHai3S
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBTpTR18jN
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW7M0rlNWm
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AUYqOEsjU
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dHVhdq4Yt
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xgvgNe076
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zAbSjoeH4
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve4SxpCBkt
and dark continents waiting to be explored.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ74RLBQVgQ
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAW1AA5hXN
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY1wU6oI3f
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeidkIzCgQ
advancing so do their means of exploring.
