As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCogi66tozV
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmjQYlMXcg
greatness is known to all.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpAEazdS9X
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS8J1FqC7k
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ0sWgyBzD
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOC0QWtpWi
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4GH5KPDF8
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNc7WJJdVw
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqOoGUEERo
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcknoNswpSz
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSaKmM9dyd
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAbXStr2uk
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RslXwoCC9
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlltnTTEnsR
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2XydQb4VL
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDMDAlQNZl
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8j2qWK9se
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBer2UjvLP
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMqOcTkV1F
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpK9hXFhpY
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunLiP1bCTm
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WQtrS2wG0
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lYNfvGFmu
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTcG8Dhqun
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyHJyHWCn4
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHZ6ajBXkA
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw3DiUadil
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66KUOdozzS
He is a dangerous man.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvroY2Iw3O
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyB0NZRavy
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWbuI3SAu0
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqkDIDrESG
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn2lKsxScD
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOECW3kglzs
starvation.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngjroFgQ1k
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MthSqkB9a
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v5utCJSLx
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PRLKeUUgp
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBdPCiXH8X
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tn0wqIfBT
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRMblYXVmL
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7lGUfL4DE
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5n9jrsxVG
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmJn8oJnlW
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ576upHy4vl
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNhbF4fJBp
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW0o1rPKrk
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EWcELWOIQ
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2dLynFCSO
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsBlZ1ikdw
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo3z8NPBFf
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcbQ3wCkAd
and dark continents waiting to be explored.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6WLN4XQS0
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6qkT2BzrG
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSw96ydF8b
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFL1UKZ60n
advancing so do their means of exploring.167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1AXtvf63d
