And this craving for more of it would reshape the world yet a second time.358Please respect copyright.PENANAB4DQBjrQfN
The Centra technology would make the world a smaller place, as through it the358Please respect copyright.PENANAyWcEfqGN3u
tribes not only began negotiating among themselves, thus giving birth to the one358Please respect copyright.PENANA3KNd3ieJyN
tongue, but they would also learn to build great many things. The skills of bow and358Please respect copyright.PENANAhdcD9PH0qq
spear were replaced with much better weaponry, villages became cities, and much of358Please respect copyright.PENANAf6TZaftsiL
the animal power was replaced with machinery. Small boats, in time, became ships and358Please respect copyright.PENANAMgvLGRfUIe
later these too, would be for the most part dropped as soon as the first airship took to358Please respect copyright.PENANA5Aln8ygTDX
flight, and the skies proved to be much safer routes.358Please respect copyright.PENANA3yNlJrJFEv
However, amongst all this growth, the seeds of fear and paranoia, of distrust for358Please respect copyright.PENANAz9lpQ2n81M
the other races were also growing just as much, if not more so, than the seeds of joy358Please respect copyright.PENANAFtxIODXWx2
and illumination. All it took was the sheer thought of what any other race could358Please respect copyright.PENANArNNJHj6mlw
be after and what would they do if they obtained it, for all to succumb to despair.358Please respect copyright.PENANAG3FMKEvq7E
The newfound freedom and safety the world had been blessed with were thus not358Please respect copyright.PENANAkFzxTaXmYN
meant to last.358Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ax9uOOiDE
Turn on each other, they did. The more advanced, the further ahead in this arms race358Please respect copyright.PENANAVDSjltXSvF
a civilisation was, the bigger the shadow they would cast upon the rest. The race began358Please respect copyright.PENANAhz1uTCNsYY
in this manner, propelled by fear and thirst for power with the two biggest offenders358Please respect copyright.PENANA9mrWkEbr5X
being the Kingdom of Man and the Nharkim.358Please respect copyright.PENANAaSJhubnSBI
These two, somehow, quickly distanced themselves from all and for many years they358Please respect copyright.PENANAPLXGp5XFFX
were almost on equal footing. Then something happened. The Nharkim took the lead358Please respect copyright.PENANAZuW8qGJHoY
and ever since then, they were ahead of any other. For many years these two empires358Please respect copyright.PENANArFpOWivGri
waged war on each other until finally the Nharkim suddenly decided to leave the358Please respect copyright.PENANA7yV3x7sTEJ
continent they all shared and settle themselves on a large archipelago to the East.358Please respect copyright.PENANACIUXYq1fOl
They left without any announcement and have not been seen since. Not quite...358Please respect copyright.PENANACYKu4Lu0YU
Naturally, it was the Humans who inherited the large landmass quickly renaming358Please respect copyright.PENANAq7XKlfauoU
it “The Celitian Continent” after their own capital “Celitia City”. Years passed and358Please respect copyright.PENANATxFkLi45Sj
most of the other races that shared the continent began to scatter as the Human358Please respect copyright.PENANAFhtdeYB5m5
Empire kept on pushing them till there was no more land for them to run to.358Please respect copyright.PENANAXFBaLSymtC
Humans expanded and everything else diminished. Generation after generation,358Please respect copyright.PENANAecGbwW8vFg
the more humans were spreading the more and more could other races be seen in their358Please respect copyright.PENANAs4vsixeIcT
cities, free to live as they deemed fit. They still had their very own towns here or there,358Please respect copyright.PENANAcYzFhAivgl
but these were growing scarce and so, for the most part, every other race could be seen358Please respect copyright.PENANA7xJIEgmoz0
much like today in any number of Human settlements. Earning an honest day’s work358Please respect copyright.PENANA4QmYg2tPNl
or drinking their lives away much like Humans love to do, for they have always shared358Please respect copyright.PENANAoYTdBNJPTQ
equal rights.358Please respect copyright.PENANAOG7lB8MTsA
Still, for all this, many dislike the race of Man for “absorbing” everyone into their358Please respect copyright.PENANAmEeu7AAOTl
kingdom, slowly making other traditions and values disappear. So sometimes it is358Please respect copyright.PENANAmg7UkBX1IP
dangerous for Humans to come across other, more “hateful” races.358Please respect copyright.PENANAWkjBrZtwbv
Nowadays occasionally, one comes across a nonhuman town that is exclusive to358Please respect copyright.PENANA17jBN7hx2M
their own kin. Not in the main continent at least, where the Humans have long taken358Please respect copyright.PENANA0cCoAoKDrp
over and their laws are enforced pretty much everywhere. Equal rights for the price of358Please respect copyright.PENANAnqB8RtBDX9
equal duties. Of course, on other more uncharted and undesirable masses of land, who358Please respect copyright.PENANA2jduO1PQlQ
knows who or what makes their kingdom there. Despite all, nothing has changed, and358Please respect copyright.PENANAkRNdIXZFdL
no hunger has been lost as most races still fear one another. Most still compete with358Please respect copyright.PENANAPQ1Ogvh1Nd
one another, fiercely as each one seeks that Centra gift that might just give them the358Please respect copyright.PENANAoh0XXgkLLS
edge.358Please respect copyright.PENANACPc1SWOOGX
From the greater empires to the smaller tribes living underground or in swamps, all358Please respect copyright.PENANAH9od2P9z5M
around the world, across any landmass where there is smart enough life, someone is358Please respect copyright.PENANAgvSpabQ3EK
pursuing those Centra secrets. To sell to the highest bidder or for the glory of their358Please respect copyright.PENANA2JtRATpOw9
own race, the search is never-ending. It has been like this since this Era started and it358Please respect copyright.PENANA29CsO7sBBg
is this way even now.358Please respect copyright.PENANAkFnOzDYh4X
And such unravel of this world’s decline shows no signs of slowing down, as358Please respect copyright.PENANA6cZam3gfWk
especially the Humans, keep on wanting. They alone hold the majority of all the greed358Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7OzsH0V0F
and all the fear that infests the world in these dark times, as they keep pushing fiercely358Please respect copyright.PENANAD3vX50RZbs
for the monopoly of all the Centra market. The acquisition of all Centra findings358Please respect copyright.PENANAFsomwsiD4w
for which the Human king is willing to do anything for, either paying for them358Please respect copyright.PENANAWxe0RVEYrX
handsomely or by taking them by any other means if need be.
