And this craving for more of it would reshape the world yet a second time.303Please respect copyright.PENANAS431IH2M3Y
The Centra technology would make the world a smaller place, as through it the303Please respect copyright.PENANApWgm8Nnc3M
tribes not only began negotiating among themselves, thus giving birth to the one303Please respect copyright.PENANAxPLl5ngjul
tongue, but they would also learn to build great many things. The skills of bow and303Please respect copyright.PENANAh5lZVohRxD
spear were replaced with much better weaponry, villages became cities, and much of303Please respect copyright.PENANAsMvwuEf6L8
the animal power was replaced with machinery. Small boats, in time, became ships and303Please respect copyright.PENANANHR17YtnXG
later these too, would be for the most part dropped as soon as the first airship took to303Please respect copyright.PENANAgOPOyjHT7r
flight, and the skies proved to be much safer routes.303Please respect copyright.PENANACG8RsErNIj
However, amongst all this growth, the seeds of fear and paranoia, of distrust for303Please respect copyright.PENANA9B1xbizU5G
the other races were also growing just as much, if not more so, than the seeds of joy303Please respect copyright.PENANA24F59HWNta
and illumination. All it took was the sheer thought of what any other race could303Please respect copyright.PENANAxoLKowhGLy
be after and what would they do if they obtained it, for all to succumb to despair.303Please respect copyright.PENANAdINA6ttLFU
The newfound freedom and safety the world had been blessed with were thus not303Please respect copyright.PENANA8jaC7aBTjZ
meant to last.303Please respect copyright.PENANAxfeizfzcqP
Turn on each other, they did. The more advanced, the further ahead in this arms race303Please respect copyright.PENANADkenazWngz
a civilisation was, the bigger the shadow they would cast upon the rest. The race began303Please respect copyright.PENANAuIY0p1IuyJ
in this manner, propelled by fear and thirst for power with the two biggest offenders303Please respect copyright.PENANAidsmaOtaE6
being the Kingdom of Man and the Nharkim.303Please respect copyright.PENANALpJKDzT1Mc
These two, somehow, quickly distanced themselves from all and for many years they303Please respect copyright.PENANACVCBiIcP7R
were almost on equal footing. Then something happened. The Nharkim took the lead303Please respect copyright.PENANAhxBKlffwql
and ever since then, they were ahead of any other. For many years these two empires303Please respect copyright.PENANAZMvS2mTx6v
waged war on each other until finally the Nharkim suddenly decided to leave the303Please respect copyright.PENANAlWdzcVQ012
continent they all shared and settle themselves on a large archipelago to the East.303Please respect copyright.PENANAhiXGUhZizx
They left without any announcement and have not been seen since. Not quite...303Please respect copyright.PENANAA8dtoYgbUf
Naturally, it was the Humans who inherited the large landmass quickly renaming303Please respect copyright.PENANA2etlAXjqvn
it “The Celitian Continent” after their own capital “Celitia City”. Years passed and303Please respect copyright.PENANAERmHHYzs6Z
most of the other races that shared the continent began to scatter as the Human303Please respect copyright.PENANACcOLAWimew
Empire kept on pushing them till there was no more land for them to run to.303Please respect copyright.PENANAIK6YZ5gHRg
Humans expanded and everything else diminished. Generation after generation,303Please respect copyright.PENANAjw6PlITTWh
the more humans were spreading the more and more could other races be seen in their303Please respect copyright.PENANAuJhxc5MluI
cities, free to live as they deemed fit. They still had their very own towns here or there,303Please respect copyright.PENANAiokBazscjp
but these were growing scarce and so, for the most part, every other race could be seen303Please respect copyright.PENANA6wvAAGjSLD
much like today in any number of Human settlements. Earning an honest day’s work303Please respect copyright.PENANAq4qhsxjsPg
or drinking their lives away much like Humans love to do, for they have always shared303Please respect copyright.PENANAqmu15JVsGn
equal rights.303Please respect copyright.PENANAd6RsWQd4ka
Still, for all this, many dislike the race of Man for “absorbing” everyone into their303Please respect copyright.PENANAIdyDx7PRV4
kingdom, slowly making other traditions and values disappear. So sometimes it is303Please respect copyright.PENANAnlFBLvVnOJ
dangerous for Humans to come across other, more “hateful” races.303Please respect copyright.PENANAZjqVB1zcll
Nowadays occasionally, one comes across a nonhuman town that is exclusive to303Please respect copyright.PENANAvRuwJo8JRX
their own kin. Not in the main continent at least, where the Humans have long taken303Please respect copyright.PENANA2KhROvz1Zg
over and their laws are enforced pretty much everywhere. Equal rights for the price of303Please respect copyright.PENANALlERbDkjWp
equal duties. Of course, on other more uncharted and undesirable masses of land, who303Please respect copyright.PENANA4KjthwY9hT
knows who or what makes their kingdom there. Despite all, nothing has changed, and303Please respect copyright.PENANAEmWq5kIkW7
no hunger has been lost as most races still fear one another. Most still compete with303Please respect copyright.PENANATZHtHcRjOb
one another, fiercely as each one seeks that Centra gift that might just give them the303Please respect copyright.PENANA96mVyVV6vf
edge.303Please respect copyright.PENANAVnQhO88TGm
From the greater empires to the smaller tribes living underground or in swamps, all303Please respect copyright.PENANA7os7LZXZvM
around the world, across any landmass where there is smart enough life, someone is303Please respect copyright.PENANAcDiP4boZVH
pursuing those Centra secrets. To sell to the highest bidder or for the glory of their303Please respect copyright.PENANASayGVL1oiq
own race, the search is never-ending. It has been like this since this Era started and it303Please respect copyright.PENANAqapz4NO7fH
is this way even now.303Please respect copyright.PENANA8dR1CfEv8y
And such unravel of this world’s decline shows no signs of slowing down, as303Please respect copyright.PENANAQLKqVFVTe0
especially the Humans, keep on wanting. They alone hold the majority of all the greed303Please respect copyright.PENANAIBCzttrXWP
and all the fear that infests the world in these dark times, as they keep pushing fiercely303Please respect copyright.PENANAVaK2CaumRw
for the monopoly of all the Centra market. The acquisition of all Centra findings303Please respect copyright.PENANA3DMPLXxnMN
for which the Human king is willing to do anything for, either paying for them303Please respect copyright.PENANAe3Wjc0W1NX
handsomely or by taking them by any other means if need be.
