As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFP2yO4fkv
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fxyy09fiJ
greatness is known to all.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcRSZcdKDu
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC1HmgU8bO
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUHhLKaSUj
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2ucGoIYFL
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3oNSgmyNX
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6FBNjEQCn
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ56kg9SoG
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm4q1Epf1O
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4rv178WcM
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIxNHHxVES
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTLmyBQ0xD
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfevZL7NQdC
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1DOivgn7P
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyou2QOEXrg
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N8xMlt893
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvaAB15sGJ
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QjrJ9vGqM
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SpGmpOdp1
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDDyeb60pC
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSH2Z3hbRm
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ7Kh3qkq8
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM4kHrMyRW
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZLusjkwcb
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR6khHjMb0
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfkCF5PR6v
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JUOHTf2Jy
He is a dangerous man.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRY1PQXzl8
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP8Q98uIR1
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPQ9j6nIww
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81BDiun085
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFTX7CZ3DW
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQrtoGycmb
starvation.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbyXjEtdsm
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqk28w7iSU
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6gap5MyC4
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceOS0uaLJn
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkd96lyIXW
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB1KYKDSA8
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9yKAoci9S
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX1WX3zWM5
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf63VN4G2bS
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpnZBHfId2
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9FImPQmwp
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcH2golVtg
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUtyIy7Go3
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoclFA6swVd
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG7KLFmFWo
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinybe1zsVM
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNbW7sPakP
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnteg3tfto5
and dark continents waiting to be explored.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1U5Cg68Vd
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdkMgH0AbY
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFiPSlpjxv
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX26bR7ndE
advancing so do their means of exploring.
