As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpK6UF8USp
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Il92lBhq
greatness is known to all.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk9AtDqt5r
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Xz0ccazN
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO9M1nslEz
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3WTOHPCuk
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJdemWj4v4
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv3ZRkxbAz
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDV8uSMpMw
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEOAP5UhRY
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4P9xoNoNu
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuJFO0GYCA
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY825G4Ciq
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46HATKUdoe
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrwVwlRSnI
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxsdg5UoFA
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5gmLG8gh1
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF73IDIwGL
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVNx7FlFet
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7fFpuzsgr
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqy0j3R8zs
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5rYs169lo
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qWd889q5R
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WYRMuCiQi
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ873zr8ShQ6
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr2s6yD9lN
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6CzCQQ6yj
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBUTpOMjcf
He is a dangerous man.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJW5lvKAd1
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVpsyUwZQV
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmDb6oNsfq
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOzOrZmIKg
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89jnde5XLO
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlamIJcI6QT
starvation.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7xkVwAQY5
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNDtfCBX91
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkm1OWZrKH
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIog7xgepU8
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB19ojIEut7
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHEjLCSdpq
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP2mbO9rSv
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lHHWAS1tI
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfXQHTlLxh
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQQfeWKMDf
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFqeW5XZPN
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aJ0TnBnox
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv7LoEnlP5
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufrKPnvTny
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQOyXWmBV7
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8aoI6g9VL
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxltY1jVF4
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFmYKyYiIY
and dark continents waiting to be explored.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMK7UfXLZK
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAex6KyBoJ
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAGd6ikc8v
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7HAAX4hMM
advancing so do their means of exploring.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOA4r3eLhW
