As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,81Please respect copyright.PENANAuzyzx8Mhqn
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their81Please respect copyright.PENANAJZ72XURF3B
greatness is known to all.81Please respect copyright.PENANADESziM4Y9T
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and81Please respect copyright.PENANAr6sSGjybJB
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless81Please respect copyright.PENANAOMrj4sZZcO
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his81Please respect copyright.PENANASAIGTKYpl5
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.81Please respect copyright.PENANAuKuiYwUYMg
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.81Please respect copyright.PENANAb9LldCet0k
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,81Please respect copyright.PENANAWwVAtzwR1A
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.81Please respect copyright.PENANAcOq0d5XAL7
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest81Please respect copyright.PENANAsfFCPt6nN6
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is81Please respect copyright.PENANADSjCBbPTV8
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of81Please respect copyright.PENANAv7elpukFzP
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any81Please respect copyright.PENANAkLa3oSiiLt
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come81Please respect copyright.PENANAGrMOP7POdA
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has81Please respect copyright.PENANARlT3nrQAKp
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.81Please respect copyright.PENANAZCcSJpvjnI
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost81Please respect copyright.PENANADrCQTdD9LO
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?81Please respect copyright.PENANAyNZsmzZkeJ
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant81Please respect copyright.PENANAXLQB1zHYEX
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in81Please respect copyright.PENANAPIK58NAKNo
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally81Please respect copyright.PENANAyHvI2roNdG
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the81Please respect copyright.PENANAIiY9r9L7D4
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.81Please respect copyright.PENANAAmGYwzLzh4
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by81Please respect copyright.PENANAa6BfU0kyxE
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and81Please respect copyright.PENANAT2V35Vmz31
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing81Please respect copyright.PENANAXM15qZ9BCC
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.81Please respect copyright.PENANA0duwJPpewE
He is a dangerous man.81Please respect copyright.PENANA20QR3B3JiC
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human81Please respect copyright.PENANAhl2mymbd7K
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels81Please respect copyright.PENANAJllPWwuAT0
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens81Please respect copyright.PENANAOW3BM5nBQd
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the81Please respect copyright.PENANA06soz9XHSs
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of81Please respect copyright.PENANA6WNPMrxoaZ
starvation.81Please respect copyright.PENANA07cqCyp0CC
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing81Please respect copyright.PENANAaSorf5VwC1
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the81Please respect copyright.PENANAIPzbD8fpps
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting81Please respect copyright.PENANAiSgAwbwF98
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for81Please respect copyright.PENANAgnY1Tquexq
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely81Please respect copyright.PENANAzi9c0ryb2c
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they81Please respect copyright.PENANAKFzmUlGE6d
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their81Please respect copyright.PENANAFFzbvqQ39j
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.81Please respect copyright.PENANAI68hOt24Ws
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth81Please respect copyright.PENANAIjb6ylO5PZ
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention81Please respect copyright.PENANALu3VVJozXS
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions81Please respect copyright.PENANAyPPOP74oJd
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is81Please respect copyright.PENANAWdWacigjJp
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses81Please respect copyright.PENANAqpOZ7r90uR
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the81Please respect copyright.PENANAz6mM6Ev4S5
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover81Please respect copyright.PENANAcBN70VXYdr
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...81Please respect copyright.PENANAmEzv7O0Msb
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses81Please respect copyright.PENANAdXU29f6pKy
and dark continents waiting to be explored.81Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ3xqCyIde
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size81Please respect copyright.PENANA7auPUiW96I
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much81Please respect copyright.PENANAUhp1Wv2Xda
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps81Please respect copyright.PENANAbQpAxwFcO8
advancing so do their means of exploring.81Please respect copyright.PENANAKWvxPjhM5B
