As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,261Please respect copyright.PENANA98CK0Wwl7b
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their261Please respect copyright.PENANAo7S0XkXfQT
greatness is known to all.261Please respect copyright.PENANAibdu2BysRT
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and261Please respect copyright.PENANAuRbmSUOBh7
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless261Please respect copyright.PENANAqJAIqdksws
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his261Please respect copyright.PENANArEUqGdcDop
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.261Please respect copyright.PENANAH7J2YhxT9K
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.261Please respect copyright.PENANAxC61HEVrg6
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,261Please respect copyright.PENANAyOB0KvcliC
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.261Please respect copyright.PENANA6XtuwNHVHr
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest261Please respect copyright.PENANASHlwDGiJQB
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is261Please respect copyright.PENANA9epYyoV2Lg
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of261Please respect copyright.PENANAmlgQ6Eg2cU
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any261Please respect copyright.PENANAXR4ZtdQWxj
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come261Please respect copyright.PENANAnd3JimbyJP
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has261Please respect copyright.PENANAewD6s8ZJmv
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.261Please respect copyright.PENANAAPnSkXxbXM
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost261Please respect copyright.PENANAJzRS4pS3id
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?261Please respect copyright.PENANAwaZuXgTpCf
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant261Please respect copyright.PENANAlzOTAtUnp4
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in261Please respect copyright.PENANAgKNJWsGDas
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally261Please respect copyright.PENANANubQtGBkkk
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the261Please respect copyright.PENANAmYKqnmUnxQ
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.261Please respect copyright.PENANAUL9qY4WVTt
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by261Please respect copyright.PENANAkL0fibAj0t
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and261Please respect copyright.PENANAtqztlXkmWY
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing261Please respect copyright.PENANAlsvtThWDhy
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.261Please respect copyright.PENANAaTIiyuYvjF
He is a dangerous man.261Please respect copyright.PENANAf3gSQ6ZOXw
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human261Please respect copyright.PENANAKwLQZ8LKIM
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels261Please respect copyright.PENANAnHLwhIuU6y
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens261Please respect copyright.PENANABJSgJTz0vr
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the261Please respect copyright.PENANA6SQGPSxF9l
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of261Please respect copyright.PENANAU3HySqubwD
starvation.261Please respect copyright.PENANAtDIXGvuI0D
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing261Please respect copyright.PENANAGeUECT1RMW
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the261Please respect copyright.PENANAanL18IrvLt
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting261Please respect copyright.PENANA8j9VvJdLSF
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for261Please respect copyright.PENANALly4pfSiHF
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely261Please respect copyright.PENANA4r0FepO6c8
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they261Please respect copyright.PENANA7JU9rtwIHt
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their261Please respect copyright.PENANAFfphG16zb3
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.261Please respect copyright.PENANAU6gLAp8PfP
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth261Please respect copyright.PENANAtqK70xmStD
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention261Please respect copyright.PENANA80seSujjfu
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions261Please respect copyright.PENANAF6rGWd8xJw
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is261Please respect copyright.PENANAgYLbz9vlnF
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses261Please respect copyright.PENANACFby6XDhLS
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the261Please respect copyright.PENANA3peojSazrD
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover261Please respect copyright.PENANAcTjWuVjEOj
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...261Please respect copyright.PENANA5dtUF9ZRuQ
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses261Please respect copyright.PENANA4Imczrujgh
and dark continents waiting to be explored.261Please respect copyright.PENANA3juglzJExB
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size261Please respect copyright.PENANAEKfLlKHCvQ
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much261Please respect copyright.PENANApTNLdj7RT3
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps261Please respect copyright.PENANADNiIzTkbda
advancing so do their means of exploring.
