As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKPArBie6C
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qqns8jplL
greatness is known to all.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxjtnDXon7
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzPcbLW9jF
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VPCQfi52x
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwSgVepLTe
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxACVdJvZq
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhhaZ3AaFT
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3CUS5rmSL
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpN5ihSWA3
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ2LVl60PB
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlMCimq8g9
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxLmFLGto7
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbNU7xPqx7
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrBoaPIyLC
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAbU2RUrQq
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7hA2RnxVm
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lm0XFlzMq
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcpk7AmDNL
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR9p0Nzo2d
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYBQAWyiC7
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0VDP3vAlr
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjou3DU3QH7
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2je9BVznHM
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX81vXdws0
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpGeTdEh4f
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYusiX6Boq5
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOonisJYjZd
He is a dangerous man.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZjyu2vlQ5
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGVo2JnXM9
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHdfndXwEP
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Aha7V1CZ
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf05GDQ7xAU
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRp1OZGdzh
starvation.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjxICp2Gzg
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Cet74IeO
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoVCt68Lgb
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lWvJ49VV6
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8yak19kzm
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgp2AmILlG
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiRpVzUoHq
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPtrs8dPsG
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yUDSbhK52
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oslsskqut
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuNtLWdEv7
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l80onjt4B
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOobEh2VTmN
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XdOJP1CD3
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVHXzPcYUZ
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6jIOjOTLi
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLozgVokkG
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KCQEaRFyA
and dark continents waiting to be explored.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFySOXagj2B
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmskM96nrq
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER2tymSz3L
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSZVVrcXsx
advancing so do their means of exploring.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk9mjrzJ1y
