A long time ago all things that were or could hope to be, were under116Please respect copyright.PENANAP97reKm9CU
the guidance of the wisest; those known today only as the ´Centra´.116Please respect copyright.PENANAcaHp9OeZZu
They alone were the keepers of the Age of Growth and they alone kept116Please respect copyright.PENANAp5skY044n4
watch over the world itself from high atop their floating cities and other sources of116Please respect copyright.PENANA72zz7JusV2
awe. They surveyed and kept the balance with the aid and grace of their immeasurable116Please respect copyright.PENANALied76EV9B
achievements. Impressive feats born from their mastery of the darkest of magics: a116Please respect copyright.PENANAIav6dVHmW4
power they called science. Feats to be remembered always through mistranslated116Please respect copyright.PENANAmxhtQ1pvaF
words and long, half-forgotten, fables carried across generations throughout all the116Please respect copyright.PENANA6XcJNKrWC3
corners of this exhausted world. Stories and fairy tales, words of the very old to the116Please respect copyright.PENANAFZQ5lIDEio
very young as scattered memories intertwine themselves with legend, as glory and116Please respect copyright.PENANAmhnZ9aqrD1
fascination eventually turn to dread and warning.116Please respect copyright.PENANA1tjLBMcLcJ
Narrations of incredible proportions, their words and bolstering claims easily116Please respect copyright.PENANAwsLICnkRme
supported by the remaining Centra achievements, left for everyone to see upon this116Please respect copyright.PENANA3d0lUIsQbo
dreaded world; large constructions, all arrogant and defiant in their design.116Please respect copyright.PENANAt8nVK5Nn1b
Temples standing proud to this day atop higher mountains while waiting for the116Please respect copyright.PENANAbYguUXlzc9
brave or the foolish to step up to the challenge.116Please respect copyright.PENANAjeAshZURg3
Cities, magnificent still, that once stood shoulder to shoulder with any cloud, now116Please respect copyright.PENANAsTxFrB4rfA
just ruins upon the scarred land making up the landscapes of deserts, oceans, forests,116Please respect copyright.PENANApBBYV2avcs
and lakes. All of this creates a world that supplies and displays proof to these narrations116Please respect copyright.PENANAxOayk4ckfW
regardless of how fantastic and unbelievable some of those assembled sentences may116Please respect copyright.PENANAaeL1V4ARBe
seem to the smallest of listeners.116Please respect copyright.PENANAwu6iRiekjG
Words are always passed on with foreboding tones, for the meaning within116Please respect copyright.PENANArI9aOByniq
its message is always the same, one of hubris and the collapse that always ensues.116Please respect copyright.PENANAaxVGmCa3ZH
The Centra were felled, by what real reason one can only speculate, but gone is their116Please respect copyright.PENANAQ56N2Bxjdy
mighty civilisation, lost to us and it was a mystery that to this day no one can be116Please respect copyright.PENANAs3gBPD8m3E
certain of their fate. For with all that they achieved and all the power they once held;116Please respect copyright.PENANAQOF23bOvfB
they were the rulers of an entire world and handlers of unmatched technologies,116Please respect copyright.PENANAW2nfCQH65A
they would still - mysteriously - disappear without a trace, leaving behind only their116Please respect copyright.PENANADwB19h1b95
accomplishments. As many and as impressive as their feats seem, even today, the fears116Please respect copyright.PENANA1InQEzBZJX
were not enough to save them from whatever fate befell them. During their long reign,116Please respect copyright.PENANAQnQbW8i0f1
for countless millennia, they reshaped all the lands and built a world in their image.116Please respect copyright.PENANAHsy3C52DzF
They had the power to do so, and they did. They created and they destroyed.116Please respect copyright.PENANAWpBLw2ImAj
How many wonders disappeared under the Centra’s thumb? How many were born116Please respect copyright.PENANAbn9egaGGev
from their desire to create?116Please respect copyright.PENANAd2LPQnMHeS
All of this they did, until one night, in just one night, suddenly, their entire race116Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2G47KmAx9
was extinguished! What was this mysterious event of cataclysmic proportions that116Please respect copyright.PENANAHzsMtap7zA
in a single swoop robbed the world of their biggest prize, not even leaving behind a116Please respect copyright.PENANAybkIPEV6vK
single corpse?116Please respect copyright.PENANAQzYGQ1mXMK
What caused the mass extinction of these chosen and sent all their cities and other116Please respect copyright.PENANAieHprOe63c
flying stations crashing down towards the earth below?116Please respect copyright.PENANAt50HCthZuu
The more that is revealed to us about the Centra, the closer we get to perceive their116Please respect copyright.PENANAD3wZCM8n7T
real magnitude, the more fascinating and alluring the mystery of their disappearance116Please respect copyright.PENANACpfWHX4QXu
becomes. Still, the whole world is, and likely forever will be, the largest testimony for116Please respect copyright.PENANAe0MmbKQxkO
all that the Centra ever were and forever achieved.116Please respect copyright.PENANATERbJQZg0v
A whole world that even now, as it slowly awaits its collapse, persistently sings to116Please respect copyright.PENANAr9lfYf5J50
their glory. The Centra departed leaving behind a world of unshackled magics and116Please respect copyright.PENANAhvxo7IIfRR
soon to be poorly resurrected technologies. With their absence, and their machines116Please respect copyright.PENANAkwm6C8m3Nn
spent and their cities toppled, so too ended the Age of Growth, but with all that the116Please respect copyright.PENANAaRIhySGP9p
Centra left behind, in time, a new Era would begin...
