As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fYZA5Gfi4
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk5jiKmODy
greatness is known to all.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDVJKbnD2N
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8B8gZzEf7
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHNPjlAsL7
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi0NOtuAR2
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZjG7Z69LL
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmSouTX4jy
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2cS1UjrJl
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNyzK7bkQH
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U0ifWw819
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO6B9RhHJH
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0KMZWefzu
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOjJYvUDZm
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HnEVFUTcj
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQg8VtckMn
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bi95KlSUT
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkPVGsTbge
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeeyreInkj
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmnXTgFkYC
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDd77eDYuJ
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dbhVbRyA8
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGwsn1EaPy
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBd2TBTEzi
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsnIpTMx4X
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgyK9I0lFn
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK03TyVZFdz
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWU80RAygh
He is a dangerous man.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rDqF08B7O
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaxlE5tvaZ
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGyIExY9A6
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRZyUQppVV
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkUNRQqWMS
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvqaV4rsvU
starvation.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKl0hkDMxQ
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MSOJWdLPt
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE49cfqaxjr
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV762jsxOFK
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKLjtlecgF
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o0zshMIIK
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzLxn9oL38
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFbZobpwt4
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHfPtwUHCZ
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdlDbjDWpd
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wxCiVhcme
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQYygPyDye
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuIRQez719
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7k1C0fIff
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwWN9oAxRs
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZTOkuiwBd
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KlZ59RtlO
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5s2qnrE1B
and dark continents waiting to be explored.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV3fuYLv4O
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6B2Yd0MHo
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowOFt8nNol
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyivMKVkAke
advancing so do their means of exploring.441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn5LebYgRb
