As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE9gBghEIU
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEuqass720
greatness is known to all.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMl0myz7mT
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIIWIM91Il
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyowkzsgMf8
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjrAabs4je
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1tBQnp67g
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8j5MZxw1O
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zLEByRERn
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn4YizIgMo
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OiC9xlcS5
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9BKz8bdpy
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnAXXSCRMt
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTn4yEjDRe
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAUK5TIEqh
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmPNMfUMHq
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPyTm73K2H
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYW7qcJID1
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wsQuz1DBR
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVyy3fZMHw
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW83FRRsBYo
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin8ImtE4B2
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p3qR2l2Ia
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76deXiDItX
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUuT5zpD7p
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzm7Ed7R0n
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Wz4ql08C
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zt8bzxYXc
He is a dangerous man.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEE6RHBgVR
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWf4CKbNex
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf9QUh45pI
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRFqxawZ7P
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKqC71FMvm
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4yEpAKbQi
starvation.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWHQuTbyBe
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BChEqofJz
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6KnmaVyUW
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUi91cCK2N
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4ziOVoZEJ
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGZQeK7pAq
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUxbznHWpe
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlKq5yVzeP
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVvXBh7f2E
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YrIOTlTJF
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GTAz4sbBG
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzt4ZBbQ47
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95twmpjZl9
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCrk0Xceov
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mDsk4eWPo
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuiD3ttMHc
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26xdi1Zx0j
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheLEjZ7Dzi
and dark continents waiting to be explored.312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t4MLi5XLQ
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyK77S2bt6
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3BbUxHStd
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5o0QGyodc
advancing so do their means of exploring.
