As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b32Q4FUBt
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYznneTQPLm
greatness is known to all.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCSERtRCGf
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTx8Mhfs9J
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECLwohoNjs
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgTx2Rn3do
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwznEfgwKm
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldJh6V0y1H
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhrOwcsFWa
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD3F8BWMI2
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJDaFPIOdn
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6swD0v5voQ
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM9MFuz5ac
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU3PciLG6u
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAeowop1Gz
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bJVmskois
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe670BF0wtR
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVToTC8VYB
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK03dBAYVu
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3FeaQdh7Y
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ4StUwzVp
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5WBqSFiuz
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0AMJahouY
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMTqRy5KTB
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2FeCqEVuH
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT32UH49t2X
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BIKZ0kEIt
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR5g2sQ4Ox
He is a dangerous man.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1sL97V1xF
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWBfRNWLle
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6xZT9fBN9
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XGwJ4Hm0m
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj856X4Kgb
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOZD2CLeIi
starvation.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfACAS4KA63
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o1Qp4mFm3
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7tXSkn854
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtibQkCBfE
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUobbWj22V9
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRQGmxxdWz
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa860d4NbQz
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEfaDWZbHc
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrdPuXZual
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GIL5Nkcoa
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHx9BQ4TAb
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c28tzv0jd
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu8W51ohlj
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVAYEbhkuc
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBa5HHLaty
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG9elCllAK
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ReFQqNXiI
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jG40PLQ0H
and dark continents waiting to be explored.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZBdP6O3C5
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd1gcsOara
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTe6sC1xrt
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpNCoELSpn
advancing so do their means of exploring.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXEXBpOPp1
