As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCh9UcROSi
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhQwcXtqkL
greatness is known to all.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9myGRYWxa
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipIHom87vm
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoBhLkOqEL
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiHIqpxA0B
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5Ms6sszLZ
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz9M75vgud
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURDu1Zvnsl
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXurpqxwKZb
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRPw7CffoD
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJW2etida6
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzMWKGkq0d
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAfVlMokrZ
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7LOUiTonH
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhRBOkJm1p
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R06iwsfAj
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUq8hwmaYC
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgKI6VyoHG
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBDyHUcMZP
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxsQOOHUEc
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Ml3B8PFZ
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo52iRE8BOO
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvHg6Bdanq
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcBzWzUCHj
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0jUqaxN2L
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsXWOZdDPa
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzRNJE2gUL
He is a dangerous man.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt5fWz8JNB
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4zX44XjIF
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFiEgVHVip
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ2ayTjfct
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPMpCkG2fE
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5ZlwyNCxW
starvation.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa0X4W22XJ
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1daOWvzeWx
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNWlTZAyJ9
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT3enrRNrr
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAPddesdSl
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKMufCNY5m
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYMOwzNIJ4
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cylpeWpYY
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8lqu7nY2M
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLhXdtXSXt
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep0dDCia2g
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvqNpZwi7C
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRUPJl4I12
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKznp8mZtE
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMKYe1G1VB
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDup3z6ZENC
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN883WSkOi
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPyqwuw7Mb
and dark continents waiting to be explored.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9cNg7ZdKc
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBwnzFxpfg
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJVGo2CNyf
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNgZshKFaf
advancing so do their means of exploring.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8nFypvNlN
