As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjboNsVZUB
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2bPgKUa3A
greatness is known to all.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVlEITeIQ3
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rgh5c4zHY
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehoq8PzMQc
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYwffAENu4
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF1DVD5WUS
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9elbyFKLAr
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWardgZaUxQ
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzUPH35NZk
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9m26HO1Vz
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC1MBx0SFO
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tX8FXZLbV
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4aXf9QP88
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNRqDg4HEK
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NsjkUHEEK
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWEY8dRg56
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq0GAy0U6n
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1py0ezn0U
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsoGmykIYq
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxBX7bJ5pp
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvsLtRZ7KW
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtarz57g5s
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKMtEZNNke
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYszY8bv6UJ
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGRMqdOMdX
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ59AUynpjM
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvIJ9ln95g
He is a dangerous man.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ305BCuVDP4
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6kgdu0iu9
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSgs6hc4UE
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b0yJPwVXk
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXlWJxqpE0
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx39Rj7zlpK
starvation.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoNoSrmype
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeurMClLuPB
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOAm0Ha2vY
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1buR7h5aJ2
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YOhZkel6F
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nQ6CA4MFm
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJRor3ZuHb
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdfSDXoj4l
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BjOQ8Lqk8
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9elC61vc2E
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUwvIYYURn
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg3A8aMxLR
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbGspw0ZRK
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFILKOubTXA
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ171kfDbQH5
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IdzVvRth0
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1CChUQmjm
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNbRRWafne
and dark continents waiting to be explored.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShUNAYDaLd
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyKVddPQ7u
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Hi1OfSdU
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDMEK3Ds1a
advancing so do their means of exploring.
