As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpA9djbsvr
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1I7or5Zww
greatness is known to all.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU8XTwE2AX
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4ajmZ9jhA
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXvk4CreYo
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DjyWBBz8j
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iGadcPXaF
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh76xsfiSO
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX6sW406Vg
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0PHDOVz4d
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcWO1vOlEY
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtodv9dn1Lx
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmryhh5CXLw
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9YMsyuIQI
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmXyzt39jJ
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZamoPbz6iF
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9wHR61IWW
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf8IwpPXAK
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvfGTHJ2pK
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBLZs9T1sT
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTbW7q48z7
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MWgQvuJub
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZasHGCdLL4
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0cZBwHAPP
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs703bqxl1a
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWfJyqqUXh
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY2neSUgBx
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCkwiqoSSc
He is a dangerous man.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wJRuKtrlN
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DMBazWW0o
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKqEPs6eiR
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVt3uKBZhJ
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm7VfIZsKK
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsI8KcICnR
starvation.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqsz2JNODK
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv3Vgda696
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg5tntHdG6
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft56zhYLyT
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qfeTu5cKZ
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jVOTj3lAr
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBpJHUjfag
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV32c4AGmM
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoeGfoKrX1
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaF4sRl2pj
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFd0677esu
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO0mGGrcsL
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnga9JbaFoa
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2121fPafA1
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZlHBZtzVB
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYzeB43ajs
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9A6YUIXBB
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho3y4i3y2v
and dark continents waiting to be explored.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQTdXjwRbH
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWAB2khXDt
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIey7yOADqu
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU57jQLxrvO
advancing so do their means of exploring.
