This one, the second Era of this world... the aptly called Age of Pursuit...116Please respect copyright.PENANAgdFqwzCOQN
The Centra were gone but the world would continue, still bound to their will but116Please respect copyright.PENANAXHrHEqiZw3
now without their guiding hand. Instead, it would be all that they had left behind that116Please respect copyright.PENANAJBU0Bex46k
would now set a new curse for the world after them. Once the Centra had claimed this116Please respect copyright.PENANAngb7zSQ71I
world to themselves, thanks to their mastery of all sciences, magics and technology116Please respect copyright.PENANAQT9YfoPqKn
that provided them with the unparalleled (hateful profanities to some and cause for116Please respect copyright.PENANAcHxBeHtPgl
divine worship to others) that ran rampant across the entire planet to this very day.116Please respect copyright.PENANAlu7nHJFCUL
All that they built and accomplished, all that defined their very existence; an entire116Please respect copyright.PENANAuFAELSk5vi
empire spanning across all continents, all seas and the one sky, was left behind for116Please respect copyright.PENANAyptIMDut5V
those that would eventually follow.116Please respect copyright.PENANA55HxY7xOZy
Who would dare guess how long it came to pass since the world woke up one day in116Please respect copyright.PENANAc4ZPY06EqF
complete silence, the sound of their rulership absent, before life would finally resume116Please respect copyright.PENANA0IfWYfgm1c
its course? With no more thunderous machines or hovering cities, and with no more116Please respect copyright.PENANARRciVE6kcg
Centra to command it all, an entire world was now free. How long for the first races116Please respect copyright.PENANAI8GcfsuRsJ
to sprout forth and begin their own curse, and does any of it matter?116Please respect copyright.PENANAbM7nExwsfI
Eventually, of course, they did. And little by little they grew. At first, little more116Please respect copyright.PENANAPo1XLE3ZUv
than animals scrapping for food but in time they would master several forms of116Please respect copyright.PENANAfEUT5XUeeL
hunting and fishing, and from there they would evolve to the races of our current time.116Please respect copyright.PENANA2WB5pKOCbs
Slowly but surely, that was how the current races of this world came about. Humans116Please respect copyright.PENANA5yq9U0fIfX
and those that would later call themselves the Nharkim as well as countless others;116Please respect copyright.PENANA4C1Qe5W4Cz
Twinkledinnes, Sandrackar, Maruic, Dreibos and many more. And for an exceedingly116Please respect copyright.PENANAwOekuIhKfJ
long time, they were just that, tribes of fishermen and hunters struggling to find shelter116Please respect copyright.PENANAy5jb5GnnIG
from the heavy rains. Nothing more than primitive and superstitious creatures, each116Please respect copyright.PENANA9IwToW8Q1n
with their customs and fears for the world may have been silent, the Centra absent,116Please respect copyright.PENANAG8HQTVijV8
but fear still roamed the lands and kept all living things in check, regardless of beliefs.116Please respect copyright.PENANA0gVsD4xMdB
And would continue to do so for aeons. I would claim it still does so, even today, if116Please respect copyright.PENANAg2mRxLvbPu
only for the less privileged.116Please respect copyright.PENANAeQXE1OluUq
Our current Era really began, as always, with an apparent meaningless action of116Please respect copyright.PENANA9prbMfyyup
not much importance, but enough to start the largest of all chain of events. That small116Please respect copyright.PENANAWfAeHKYiS1
gesture that opened the way for what would define our world to this very day; the Era116Please respect copyright.PENANARcPHVdFU6v
of Pursuit began, the moment a member of the small and meek tribe of Twinkledinnes,116Please respect copyright.PENANAJb8qDbucxJ
one of the tiniest races one could ever hope to meet, decided to venture forth into one116Please respect copyright.PENANAttLTYgYI3E
of the forbidden zones. Any area where Centra remnants were known to exist were116Please respect copyright.PENANAzu8wMEfSiw
best avoided - a taboo.116Please respect copyright.PENANAXk1CdwlAIa
What was the motive that drove such a small creature?116Please respect copyright.PENANATNTI78SE2Y
That is now lost to us, dissolved in the ebb and flow of time but the result of such an116Please respect copyright.PENANAG6rxMrOaSq
action defines all things today. Into one of the Centra ruins that Twinkledinne went116Please respect copyright.PENANAafla1e2jgg
and when he came out, he did so with something in his hands. That very moment,116Please respect copyright.PENANAKV5VYkt9DI
where this small creature showed there was not only nothing to fear from those areas116Please respect copyright.PENANAb23Ivl2F02
but there were also rewards to be picked up, that was when this Era truly began.116Please respect copyright.PENANAnTWkBEvmu5
Word began to spread, and the veil of fear and superstition was lifted. All tribes,116Please respect copyright.PENANARHbs29i2wO
in time, came to learn that there was nothing to fear from venturing into Centra116Please respect copyright.PENANAazufJcgw38
territories. No longer were these Centra remnants cursed places, to be feared and116Please respect copyright.PENANAEOqWr7ndZo
avoided for either religious reasons imposed by most tribes or the mere common sense116Please respect copyright.PENANARKBqmVSOy4
of the passing traveller. No. Now anything Centra was a place to be actively sought out116Please respect copyright.PENANAtOT9631UjQ
and where fortune could be found. One by one every tribe of every race got into this,116Please respect copyright.PENANAYPvMsRWpR9
offering handsome rewards to anyone presenting them with anything made by Centra,116Please respect copyright.PENANA01Kd5NdfuK
even to those outside their own race.116Please respect copyright.PENANANj6L8VeaHs
And so, greed was ironically enough, the will that broke any previous isolation and116Please respect copyright.PENANAzn3ZjUXRwt
made most embrace outside relations. But what brought all the races together would116Please respect copyright.PENANADeqWPXXhRv
also tear them apart. At first, most things were bought and sold as decorum, but as116Please respect copyright.PENANAEVi5am8CGm
time went on and the races kept evolving and learning from these finds, their value and116Please respect copyright.PENANAYHnE8Y6afc
their importance kept increasing.116Please respect copyright.PENANAKHn0yabkKb
From the study and learning of these Centra finds, most races began evolving,116Please respect copyright.PENANA2G6JW80glu
building, finding cures for the sick and easier ways to withstand the cold storms.116Please respect copyright.PENANAlaBMfmsHaC
It became obvious to all that this was their future, that the finding of more and more116Please respect copyright.PENANA24AbLoRtsi
Centra technology, or anything concerning it, was their new path.
