As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilouXsEyTN
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XTLvJjeBT
greatness is known to all.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FDW3rPItY
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXrGwDxUBt
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxVKR9zi5l
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBPAqteVYO
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh5bxIEifq
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxnct170gU
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlAUQcYs7s
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPgvH2N756
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawYMO6COXQ
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrn5aSNqaZ
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9HyrKZFKR
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23tB3hovkJ
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEeFgO6tBW
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim1HD7uQxR
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqmF8qnPqm
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuLIazM5XJ
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrDJThBVXc
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1iXqMk51O
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bRoRe3NqJ
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oMi8YyU77
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6kBd4x44i
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHwoUPTXmA
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlrosDLDFZ
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZmlxAwhUj
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTJb6fpuZU
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMsVoS1ora
He is a dangerous man.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW5cFdTSgs
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY4fAm7WcT
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjevWeNyQI
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFWLQ6a8Di
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ20doOAU1Z
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjc3rApuPQ
starvation.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkHPu53B9E
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaY3P9QKTZ
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJTiX8p0jN
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusoOHRsrqi
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PEVj8AgAp
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSVKzLPafG
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUwLhq2tHU
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuKRLiV4ao
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk7kzyhSqD
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mhTQBP7jb
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy97Nmzaoa
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIkdc7wCTA
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL8KXbWHne
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5YGgm4xh5
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWi8WFRJXA
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxha3PHctSm
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L5POtKlCj
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAj2MF54Hf
and dark continents waiting to be explored.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf6M6pRutw
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH3kt3XDma
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYLiNtXWJY
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ls9vV9aY5
advancing so do their means of exploring.
