This one, the second Era of this world... the aptly called Age of Pursuit...101Please respect copyright.PENANAoZZHlFwpdF
The Centra were gone but the world would continue, still bound to their will but101Please respect copyright.PENANACJ9WTGwLy8
now without their guiding hand. Instead, it would be all that they had left behind that101Please respect copyright.PENANAPn2NIVhumA
would now set a new curse for the world after them. Once the Centra had claimed this101Please respect copyright.PENANA1wdCXuTlck
world to themselves, thanks to their mastery of all sciences, magics and technology101Please respect copyright.PENANAVVEcELm1wW
that provided them with the unparalleled (hateful profanities to some and cause for101Please respect copyright.PENANAbfapdtH9aK
divine worship to others) that ran rampant across the entire planet to this very day.101Please respect copyright.PENANAVdbLb6OWpJ
All that they built and accomplished, all that defined their very existence; an entire101Please respect copyright.PENANAEineCttXjw
empire spanning across all continents, all seas and the one sky, was left behind for101Please respect copyright.PENANASAceboCydY
those that would eventually follow.101Please respect copyright.PENANADWOMP2T6Qz
Who would dare guess how long it came to pass since the world woke up one day in101Please respect copyright.PENANAzDWSeSMGeN
complete silence, the sound of their rulership absent, before life would finally resume101Please respect copyright.PENANA2EN3yxjNLe
its course? With no more thunderous machines or hovering cities, and with no more101Please respect copyright.PENANACfDV2brex6
Centra to command it all, an entire world was now free. How long for the first races101Please respect copyright.PENANAydp1Ti0nKn
to sprout forth and begin their own curse, and does any of it matter?101Please respect copyright.PENANAmSIzfH3VgT
Eventually, of course, they did. And little by little they grew. At first, little more101Please respect copyright.PENANAQtyMS3yZAW
than animals scrapping for food but in time they would master several forms of101Please respect copyright.PENANA24nWBHwgyd
hunting and fishing, and from there they would evolve to the races of our current time.101Please respect copyright.PENANArHkP08IyQZ
Slowly but surely, that was how the current races of this world came about. Humans101Please respect copyright.PENANAiLtVPzJyxA
and those that would later call themselves the Nharkim as well as countless others;101Please respect copyright.PENANACsfJeVMLeX
Twinkledinnes, Sandrackar, Maruic, Dreibos and many more. And for an exceedingly101Please respect copyright.PENANAktnzj7Qf4x
long time, they were just that, tribes of fishermen and hunters struggling to find shelter101Please respect copyright.PENANAtlLrCH3Yvd
from the heavy rains. Nothing more than primitive and superstitious creatures, each101Please respect copyright.PENANAQj88MpwlYu
with their customs and fears for the world may have been silent, the Centra absent,101Please respect copyright.PENANAfzsX6PM4Vs
but fear still roamed the lands and kept all living things in check, regardless of beliefs.101Please respect copyright.PENANA7lHgl9EBwq
And would continue to do so for aeons. I would claim it still does so, even today, if101Please respect copyright.PENANAAk0GiVlqe3
only for the less privileged.101Please respect copyright.PENANAQxp0pNdUHs
Our current Era really began, as always, with an apparent meaningless action of101Please respect copyright.PENANAO2GgXEDImu
not much importance, but enough to start the largest of all chain of events. That small101Please respect copyright.PENANAFkdOGeRhxl
gesture that opened the way for what would define our world to this very day; the Era101Please respect copyright.PENANA0bnNHVsJOx
of Pursuit began, the moment a member of the small and meek tribe of Twinkledinnes,101Please respect copyright.PENANAYIVUFsBW7s
one of the tiniest races one could ever hope to meet, decided to venture forth into one101Please respect copyright.PENANAZrMDFHRX8U
of the forbidden zones. Any area where Centra remnants were known to exist were101Please respect copyright.PENANAgxPNE7lo4l
best avoided - a taboo.101Please respect copyright.PENANAyqfnHsnLqd
What was the motive that drove such a small creature?101Please respect copyright.PENANAi1b9q7uxfV
That is now lost to us, dissolved in the ebb and flow of time but the result of such an101Please respect copyright.PENANAHlX1tVMEEJ
action defines all things today. Into one of the Centra ruins that Twinkledinne went101Please respect copyright.PENANA4A5e0X5w30
and when he came out, he did so with something in his hands. That very moment,101Please respect copyright.PENANAJXwxOOe6JZ
where this small creature showed there was not only nothing to fear from those areas101Please respect copyright.PENANAFCssixq01h
but there were also rewards to be picked up, that was when this Era truly began.101Please respect copyright.PENANACq5FSikWoj
Word began to spread, and the veil of fear and superstition was lifted. All tribes,101Please respect copyright.PENANAdMYPTE2cP6
in time, came to learn that there was nothing to fear from venturing into Centra101Please respect copyright.PENANAR7HFjLDW03
territories. No longer were these Centra remnants cursed places, to be feared and101Please respect copyright.PENANALPMucKmIlo
avoided for either religious reasons imposed by most tribes or the mere common sense101Please respect copyright.PENANAYH0KhjZBKk
of the passing traveller. No. Now anything Centra was a place to be actively sought out101Please respect copyright.PENANAQuhch09w3v
and where fortune could be found. One by one every tribe of every race got into this,101Please respect copyright.PENANAm9YYxXQrak
offering handsome rewards to anyone presenting them with anything made by Centra,101Please respect copyright.PENANAW3H1yuw4jP
even to those outside their own race.101Please respect copyright.PENANAQOpsiTvyZd
And so, greed was ironically enough, the will that broke any previous isolation and101Please respect copyright.PENANAfH01TPH3yH
made most embrace outside relations. But what brought all the races together would101Please respect copyright.PENANAkNp1W7X8xH
also tear them apart. At first, most things were bought and sold as decorum, but as101Please respect copyright.PENANAzlNf4aywrb
time went on and the races kept evolving and learning from these finds, their value and101Please respect copyright.PENANABK04YGjy5y
their importance kept increasing.101Please respect copyright.PENANANVTXnOYk8F
From the study and learning of these Centra finds, most races began evolving,101Please respect copyright.PENANA550SnTkV2R
building, finding cures for the sick and easier ways to withstand the cold storms.101Please respect copyright.PENANA2j8BjdziBZ
It became obvious to all that this was their future, that the finding of more and more101Please respect copyright.PENANAjgnWAmrth6
Centra technology, or anything concerning it, was their new path.
