A long time ago all things that were or could hope to be, were under324Please respect copyright.PENANAA5MPW0mETG
the guidance of the wisest; those known today only as the ´Centra´.324Please respect copyright.PENANAxg8BfngpTY
They alone were the keepers of the Age of Growth and they alone kept324Please respect copyright.PENANAYOPax26ovN
watch over the world itself from high atop their floating cities and other sources of324Please respect copyright.PENANA4MlydZzg9d
awe. They surveyed and kept the balance with the aid and grace of their immeasurable324Please respect copyright.PENANAXn8khg5dOf
achievements. Impressive feats born from their mastery of the darkest of magics: a324Please respect copyright.PENANAQA2Z63grx5
power they called science. Feats to be remembered always through mistranslated324Please respect copyright.PENANAQVDokQRJw2
words and long, half-forgotten, fables carried across generations throughout all the324Please respect copyright.PENANAU8es9jQTzw
corners of this exhausted world. Stories and fairy tales, words of the very old to the324Please respect copyright.PENANAGsA8B1Lyox
very young as scattered memories intertwine themselves with legend, as glory and324Please respect copyright.PENANAjdKn7fPzik
fascination eventually turn to dread and warning.324Please respect copyright.PENANApbTHVsXg3h
Narrations of incredible proportions, their words and bolstering claims easily324Please respect copyright.PENANA1LMeaFCsbG
supported by the remaining Centra achievements, left for everyone to see upon this324Please respect copyright.PENANAcsJuT5WlmJ
dreaded world; large constructions, all arrogant and defiant in their design.324Please respect copyright.PENANAyshD8tvPoD
Temples standing proud to this day atop higher mountains while waiting for the324Please respect copyright.PENANANPWlWISdID
brave or the foolish to step up to the challenge.324Please respect copyright.PENANA51Ga4iEEdU
Cities, magnificent still, that once stood shoulder to shoulder with any cloud, now324Please respect copyright.PENANAe23dta1zx2
just ruins upon the scarred land making up the landscapes of deserts, oceans, forests,324Please respect copyright.PENANAmGYyaf3o8N
and lakes. All of this creates a world that supplies and displays proof to these narrations324Please respect copyright.PENANAUZEA0vIk7l
regardless of how fantastic and unbelievable some of those assembled sentences may324Please respect copyright.PENANAcFExTZH4vv
seem to the smallest of listeners.324Please respect copyright.PENANAyLwnbOlsH0
Words are always passed on with foreboding tones, for the meaning within324Please respect copyright.PENANAWjahnH299n
its message is always the same, one of hubris and the collapse that always ensues.324Please respect copyright.PENANAuwFUcgSQT1
The Centra were felled, by what real reason one can only speculate, but gone is their324Please respect copyright.PENANA0cGofQpiPc
mighty civilisation, lost to us and it was a mystery that to this day no one can be324Please respect copyright.PENANAw2yJx92H4q
certain of their fate. For with all that they achieved and all the power they once held;324Please respect copyright.PENANA2tgfpvFgr4
they were the rulers of an entire world and handlers of unmatched technologies,324Please respect copyright.PENANAtVx7S8scpP
they would still - mysteriously - disappear without a trace, leaving behind only their324Please respect copyright.PENANAKhRO4tUsph
accomplishments. As many and as impressive as their feats seem, even today, the fears324Please respect copyright.PENANA7mbyuV56UM
were not enough to save them from whatever fate befell them. During their long reign,324Please respect copyright.PENANAcoTmOLIeuQ
for countless millennia, they reshaped all the lands and built a world in their image.324Please respect copyright.PENANA2QdJ3K2hgC
They had the power to do so, and they did. They created and they destroyed.324Please respect copyright.PENANAGYwN7TPnUE
How many wonders disappeared under the Centra’s thumb? How many were born324Please respect copyright.PENANAmMXTrKjTiX
from their desire to create?324Please respect copyright.PENANA0PGxQJFhHd
All of this they did, until one night, in just one night, suddenly, their entire race324Please respect copyright.PENANAkNTPvxRpXL
was extinguished! What was this mysterious event of cataclysmic proportions that324Please respect copyright.PENANAgZ0l4yPXgW
in a single swoop robbed the world of their biggest prize, not even leaving behind a324Please respect copyright.PENANAfnEkL49uHM
single corpse?324Please respect copyright.PENANARTnsQh8Z1s
What caused the mass extinction of these chosen and sent all their cities and other324Please respect copyright.PENANADm8ktXqO2Z

The more that is revealed to us about the Centra, the closer we get to perceive their324Please respect copyright.PENANAM8mWfTKpiY
real magnitude, the more fascinating and alluring the mystery of their disappearance324Please respect copyright.PENANAPAvgckXxl5
becomes. Still, the whole world is, and likely forever will be, the largest testimony for324Please respect copyright.PENANAljJZnmuTik
all that the Centra ever were and forever achieved.324Please respect copyright.PENANA0pCVHX9jW1
A whole world that even now, as it slowly awaits its collapse, persistently sings to324Please respect copyright.PENANAg9BEJsvvtx
their glory. The Centra departed leaving behind a world of unshackled magics and324Please respect copyright.PENANAXC8gIdWXrk
soon to be poorly resurrected technologies. With their absence, and their machines324Please respect copyright.PENANA1KPmgdeT6U
