This one, the second Era of this world... the aptly called Age of Pursuit...162Please respect copyright.PENANAOQ9jUQ3gSl
The Centra were gone but the world would continue, still bound to their will but162Please respect copyright.PENANA0DaSgm1Is2
now without their guiding hand. Instead, it would be all that they had left behind that162Please respect copyright.PENANAIaIsNZz6AV
would now set a new curse for the world after them. Once the Centra had claimed this162Please respect copyright.PENANAb1KNvEPg18
world to themselves, thanks to their mastery of all sciences, magics and technology162Please respect copyright.PENANAMaIsskUjaG
that provided them with the unparalleled (hateful profanities to some and cause for162Please respect copyright.PENANAgiltxQRYsw
divine worship to others) that ran rampant across the entire planet to this very day.162Please respect copyright.PENANAvIM3jwgteS
All that they built and accomplished, all that defined their very existence; an entire162Please respect copyright.PENANAtFIwdYxHcv
empire spanning across all continents, all seas and the one sky, was left behind for162Please respect copyright.PENANAVG4sZC6ZMu
those that would eventually follow.162Please respect copyright.PENANAayyDkjlUeI
Who would dare guess how long it came to pass since the world woke up one day in162Please respect copyright.PENANAOsEWcdUtQV
complete silence, the sound of their rulership absent, before life would finally resume162Please respect copyright.PENANA2XEHRw9PWF
its course? With no more thunderous machines or hovering cities, and with no more162Please respect copyright.PENANA4vMd1JFgJU
Centra to command it all, an entire world was now free. How long for the first races162Please respect copyright.PENANA1w15yAjjEX
to sprout forth and begin their own curse, and does any of it matter?162Please respect copyright.PENANAJ92znv5g2H
Eventually, of course, they did. And little by little they grew. At first, little more162Please respect copyright.PENANAqddyehIf34
than animals scrapping for food but in time they would master several forms of162Please respect copyright.PENANAG9cxX0kk4A
hunting and fishing, and from there they would evolve to the races of our current time.162Please respect copyright.PENANAQBZHqkYlzV
Slowly but surely, that was how the current races of this world came about. Humans162Please respect copyright.PENANAuSeuWpm2fu
and those that would later call themselves the Nharkim as well as countless others;162Please respect copyright.PENANAsLFqa3bemj
Twinkledinnes, Sandrackar, Maruic, Dreibos and many more. And for an exceedingly162Please respect copyright.PENANAD6NgzbCuNv
long time, they were just that, tribes of fishermen and hunters struggling to find shelter162Please respect copyright.PENANAm1BqRuGaPN
from the heavy rains. Nothing more than primitive and superstitious creatures, each162Please respect copyright.PENANAToCtbYjWdU
with their customs and fears for the world may have been silent, the Centra absent,162Please respect copyright.PENANApYJXeAFnSv
but fear still roamed the lands and kept all living things in check, regardless of beliefs.162Please respect copyright.PENANAxW8s0zlKvQ
And would continue to do so for aeons. I would claim it still does so, even today, if162Please respect copyright.PENANAccEtw8T4HS
only for the less privileged.162Please respect copyright.PENANAbLvSrbASCm
Our current Era really began, as always, with an apparent meaningless action of162Please respect copyright.PENANAo91nN49LFS
not much importance, but enough to start the largest of all chain of events. That small162Please respect copyright.PENANAPdjXfuS0r7
gesture that opened the way for what would define our world to this very day; the Era162Please respect copyright.PENANA1ncdrASCAY
of Pursuit began, the moment a member of the small and meek tribe of Twinkledinnes,162Please respect copyright.PENANAQraCwwSJdL
one of the tiniest races one could ever hope to meet, decided to venture forth into one162Please respect copyright.PENANAHlIsAjWDnq
of the forbidden zones. Any area where Centra remnants were known to exist were162Please respect copyright.PENANAclQxfZWZGe
best avoided - a taboo.162Please respect copyright.PENANAJIuSyj4wBd
What was the motive that drove such a small creature?162Please respect copyright.PENANAT8J1SelGHa
That is now lost to us, dissolved in the ebb and flow of time but the result of such an162Please respect copyright.PENANAjQceKPIgGY
action defines all things today. Into one of the Centra ruins that Twinkledinne went162Please respect copyright.PENANAwVsJVnrZFF
and when he came out, he did so with something in his hands. That very moment,162Please respect copyright.PENANAIZrc9Dj6vN
where this small creature showed there was not only nothing to fear from those areas162Please respect copyright.PENANALkRPIamj3J
but there were also rewards to be picked up, that was when this Era truly began.162Please respect copyright.PENANA2aoshFeztm
Word began to spread, and the veil of fear and superstition was lifted. All tribes,162Please respect copyright.PENANAZY3EsLcatw
in time, came to learn that there was nothing to fear from venturing into Centra162Please respect copyright.PENANAOQxgVfWvrV
territories. No longer were these Centra remnants cursed places, to be feared and162Please respect copyright.PENANAAsIKp2ciq9
avoided for either religious reasons imposed by most tribes or the mere common sense162Please respect copyright.PENANAwe7G7tTdVh
of the passing traveller. No. Now anything Centra was a place to be actively sought out162Please respect copyright.PENANAaYI1BaEyFI
and where fortune could be found. One by one every tribe of every race got into this,162Please respect copyright.PENANAGhJLZPsayG
offering handsome rewards to anyone presenting them with anything made by Centra,162Please respect copyright.PENANAq6IypUsfil
even to those outside their own race.162Please respect copyright.PENANAlNq6GkN5wH
And so, greed was ironically enough, the will that broke any previous isolation and162Please respect copyright.PENANAXT5J4oJFXt
made most embrace outside relations. But what brought all the races together would162Please respect copyright.PENANA1UlXqiYmbp
also tear them apart. At first, most things were bought and sold as decorum, but as162Please respect copyright.PENANAuoPkpJP71w
time went on and the races kept evolving and learning from these finds, their value and162Please respect copyright.PENANAFzLwADfVJy
their importance kept increasing.162Please respect copyright.PENANAZN9OmgrrYO
From the study and learning of these Centra finds, most races began evolving,162Please respect copyright.PENANAPcyRjIjWgH
building, finding cures for the sick and easier ways to withstand the cold storms.162Please respect copyright.PENANALWHWB8L7es
It became obvious to all that this was their future, that the finding of more and more162Please respect copyright.PENANA901xRVHXs2
Centra technology, or anything concerning it, was their new path.
