As it has been for generations, the Nharkim remain by far the most advanced race,334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yUTeIzGpl
by quite the margin as anyone can tell just by looking at their city from far away - their334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8AdXTlQYd
greatness is known to all.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvgqjUS3Pc
No other civilisation at this time can even come close to competing with them, and334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC2AtjnRGV
so his majesty Hervies the current Human king must push even more. He is ruthless334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGKZ0f8AaU
and carries much fear in his chest, more than any other ruler before him, and if his334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43I4aekZda
heart is tight, the borders of his scruples extend far and wide.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNrxrFdXyF
There is nothing that the almighty Hervies will not do for his ambitions.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjL4UlE21Y
The feelings of admiration and awe, of respect and fear towards anything Centra,334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84PLCY22v1
have long been replaced by folly and greed, by petty and misguided ambitions.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA292dssfw0
Perhaps nothing shows this better than the Human king’s efforts in his perpetual quest334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGmEUUBC0D
for his race to take the front seat. He and all under him have been doing whatever is334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrennClo9l
deemed necessary to not fall behind for generations. Hervies is just the next in line of334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweRToMRxmt
a long succession of rulers living in constant fear of what the Nharkim could do at any334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9Dg475GAP
time. But something makes him different however, and no other king that has come334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ij46TzN0Y
before him has gone as far as he is willing to go. No other Human ruler before him has334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUHdJfaNyu
had so much pressure felt upon his crown either.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUutokYe5nG
The Nharkim technology seems to grow almost exponentially, improving almost334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2oM5EWdWJ
by the day and soon who... even now, can guess what they could be scheming?334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPKlwEuLbX
The necessary measures must thus be taken even further than that, such as the constant334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOBA6vRxYr
deployment of all sorts of scavenger teams to all the known corners of the world in334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRiKIgXHvE
desperate attempts to try and uncover more Centra property. All in the hopes of finally334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE9xx0dNpl
unveiling some of their biggest secrets, something that could give the Humans the334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiexkqlkXcj
necessary advantage to at last take their place as the most powerful in all the lands.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSVQs1igzu
Hervies holds nothing back when it comes to achieving this; he is well known even by334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3JseKqHVb
those outside his race, as a ruler with complete disregard towards anyone’s welfare and334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEztoAZWpE
how much it might all cost. Time and again he has proven that he is more than willing334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNk5UiSU4k
to pour any amount of funds, and he has no restraints in raising taxes either to do so.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzl0LGIkgc
He is a dangerous man.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsST4rMoTc
Not just to others but also to himself. He is perhaps the most dangerous human334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOOTbDd0l0
to walk this world in quite some time. Desperation drives him and the fear he feels334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEVe8kOr4v
himself, he has no qualms in casting upon others. With each passing day, he tightens334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaHS52V8K5
the noose around his own people’s neck; he demands skin and teeth from all the334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiW7WjHl4Q
hard-working folk and quite the percentage of his kingdom are on the verge of334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vn7pxAakT
starvation.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdinmmW4o1
Then he comes and offers insurmountable amounts of currency to anyone willing334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgljlhcsY1
to do his bidding and in doing so, obviously, Hervies has no problem finding the334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDijoZ2F4lg
required man labour for the more outrageous efforts the Human kingdom is putting334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3wgwtHMyg
up these last years. For many years these desperate searches have been going on, for334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5AmDGSxsB
the slightest glimpse at any Centra secret and the Celitian Continent has been entirely334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxEr7Cn7hN
dug up three times over or so, it seems. They have searched any and all ruins, they334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXZFW2MyXt
have excavated the soil to the point of not even one more hole can be dug up. In their334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9Hwtnf2Pc
efforts, they exhausted all the land around them and so the time came to look further.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlEbzRaI1e
The time to spread and send search teams outside the known charts, to venture forth334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Mct8dAy9
into the unknown dark corners of the world that most are afraid to even mention334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFrb1Twho5
let alone set foot in. This is how the “Cloudsiras” came to be, Human expeditions334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTybms9X6wa
hell-bent on finding and bringing back what their king values most. No other race is334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhWEdgLQgI
known to do this, either because they don’t have the means to cross entire landmasses334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4rELKtdVu
or because they don’t feel that desperate. Humans, however, are second only to the334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9x3f4cMdE
Nharkim so they can go anywhere. Their numerous airships can sometimes cover334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbd7f19xUB
entire clouds and as for motivation, well, a man must eat, and their king offers plenty...334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbpvHbmYg4
There is still much-uncharted territory across this bleak world, still many landmasses334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1fHn9XXod
and dark continents waiting to be explored.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyseO8nimQ
So these Human Cloudsiras are always stretching their limits, increasing the size334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1JNOtdBeZ
of the known map, they are constantly pushing how far can they go; how much334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gHYAflSia
distance can they cover and how deep can they reach, for as Human technology keeps334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRQRVbn6Cl
advancing so do their means of exploring.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaWnFsz1PW
