A long time ago all things that were or could hope to be, were under100Please respect copyright.PENANA61cuq33T4O
the guidance of the wisest; those known today only as the ´Centra´.100Please respect copyright.PENANAcaCTC3pu4W
They alone were the keepers of the Age of Growth and they alone kept100Please respect copyright.PENANAxpvpVw0Prx
watch over the world itself from high atop their floating cities and other sources of100Please respect copyright.PENANAHWr40ldLNL
awe. They surveyed and kept the balance with the aid and grace of their immeasurable100Please respect copyright.PENANA2MkbYsHv83
achievements. Impressive feats born from their mastery of the darkest of magics: a100Please respect copyright.PENANAYCRHFZUKIH
power they called science. Feats to be remembered always through mistranslated100Please respect copyright.PENANAaPpGxttAlA
words and long, half-forgotten, fables carried across generations throughout all the100Please respect copyright.PENANADCZPCLtOTd
corners of this exhausted world. Stories and fairy tales, words of the very old to the100Please respect copyright.PENANALJ0jbPtybn
very young as scattered memories intertwine themselves with legend, as glory and100Please respect copyright.PENANA0rO63VOcgq
fascination eventually turn to dread and warning.100Please respect copyright.PENANAsZqTyMgDfe
Narrations of incredible proportions, their words and bolstering claims easily100Please respect copyright.PENANAG8tyxRfPR1
supported by the remaining Centra achievements, left for everyone to see upon this100Please respect copyright.PENANAy8yBydil9h
dreaded world; large constructions, all arrogant and defiant in their design.100Please respect copyright.PENANAmamOvedV0R
Temples standing proud to this day atop higher mountains while waiting for the100Please respect copyright.PENANARXHFreThiF
brave or the foolish to step up to the challenge.100Please respect copyright.PENANACkew3sjslz
Cities, magnificent still, that once stood shoulder to shoulder with any cloud, now100Please respect copyright.PENANAJcJT8ADmP5
just ruins upon the scarred land making up the landscapes of deserts, oceans, forests,100Please respect copyright.PENANA1W2LT2PDUQ
and lakes. All of this creates a world that supplies and displays proof to these narrations100Please respect copyright.PENANAqzu5gcD3xO
regardless of how fantastic and unbelievable some of those assembled sentences may100Please respect copyright.PENANApab0iylINi
seem to the smallest of listeners.100Please respect copyright.PENANAW71cfiEdYA
Words are always passed on with foreboding tones, for the meaning within100Please respect copyright.PENANA4iSGnsNF8K
its message is always the same, one of hubris and the collapse that always ensues.100Please respect copyright.PENANAxZTF7j2pUq
The Centra were felled, by what real reason one can only speculate, but gone is their100Please respect copyright.PENANAaeVpHnUTKP
mighty civilisation, lost to us and it was a mystery that to this day no one can be100Please respect copyright.PENANAU7aSfjRpon
certain of their fate. For with all that they achieved and all the power they once held;100Please respect copyright.PENANAVHxXpko3tS
they were the rulers of an entire world and handlers of unmatched technologies,100Please respect copyright.PENANA1BrLcfVoD5
they would still - mysteriously - disappear without a trace, leaving behind only their100Please respect copyright.PENANAhVgs6g0Ije
accomplishments. As many and as impressive as their feats seem, even today, the fears100Please respect copyright.PENANAK2VCwziObW
were not enough to save them from whatever fate befell them. During their long reign,100Please respect copyright.PENANANIUMcxu1yJ
for countless millennia, they reshaped all the lands and built a world in their image.100Please respect copyright.PENANA1oDvEtPMlh
They had the power to do so, and they did. They created and they destroyed.100Please respect copyright.PENANAIpWCLCJ4Ml
How many wonders disappeared under the Centra’s thumb? How many were born100Please respect copyright.PENANAqModNnaTtc
from their desire to create?100Please respect copyright.PENANAGw6gCnRvk2
All of this they did, until one night, in just one night, suddenly, their entire race100Please respect copyright.PENANAdIot2l6g38
was extinguished! What was this mysterious event of cataclysmic proportions that100Please respect copyright.PENANAGxa33PDG5O
in a single swoop robbed the world of their biggest prize, not even leaving behind a100Please respect copyright.PENANAYAOOtfefKb
single corpse?100Please respect copyright.PENANANvFnYiAsy4
What caused the mass extinction of these chosen and sent all their cities and other100Please respect copyright.PENANA0PRt7kN30H
flying stations crashing down towards the earth below?100Please respect copyright.PENANA7lvGcmzf8K
The more that is revealed to us about the Centra, the closer we get to perceive their100Please respect copyright.PENANAbbzNV3866s
real magnitude, the more fascinating and alluring the mystery of their disappearance100Please respect copyright.PENANAkitVi1gKom
becomes. Still, the whole world is, and likely forever will be, the largest testimony for100Please respect copyright.PENANA2zZcciIHra
all that the Centra ever were and forever achieved.100Please respect copyright.PENANAQorzTMzjgw
A whole world that even now, as it slowly awaits its collapse, persistently sings to100Please respect copyright.PENANAbqwI93XJpU
their glory. The Centra departed leaving behind a world of unshackled magics and100Please respect copyright.PENANAFvqUHuKCTV
soon to be poorly resurrected technologies. With their absence, and their machines100Please respect copyright.PENANAXPKeWF1fW6
spent and their cities toppled, so too ended the Age of Growth, but with all that the100Please respect copyright.PENANAbMMiPcWbim
Centra left behind, in time, a new Era would begin...
