As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NIJVTlTpM
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYIsS9RR4V
greatness is known to all.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrRprGMpnD
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnxbUbb5z0
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVZNwg9KIR
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5N9RydK0Y
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8y1cZXKU6
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouATHla9Nl
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXYrCIah4i
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ta0sg4e99
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7tlKRxzIp
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO9MIjqaIH
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1F80NDxVO
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfkR2trTtp
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8eGUAaC8I
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM9iJemxBb
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB2GZRr6FM
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeAqTxAXkt
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2yKjYtQpr
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClTBCLgZ1Z
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfnlKn90UF
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXfEqHE5xp
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSmH42FjVl
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ25vmUmvlD
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLA9JIN6VG
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDLcnShwpj
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR5f1ip7gH
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnH2p3q8vE
He is a dangerous man.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaXYvO3KLm
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61pp45oizP
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO4D8cZVe8
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGkRijdIfL
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW0zQjIK1X
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM6CNPh07e
starvation.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPCTkrGepq
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUKszAzD5Z
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aWBGtFJay
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrbCjjJVy1
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkie3mbzrZi
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r0PJmcWlO
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3IBUVmD3L
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyk2HYeW2e
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUL6Xb9S3a
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2kOZwNcR3
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwPPhfYR34
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4wLOwQswY
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrD0geJhrs
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8r6FROMtK
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo0kN8gUis
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR5P9slYuE
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5q2N5xYP8
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJFanjDc8a
and dark continents waiting to be explored.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwFveb2Yeo
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSElHH7uSaJ
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG06WGTtL0
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvxV5gjgPG
advancing so do their means of exploring.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7XddilZh4
