A long time ago all things that were or could hope to be, were under676Please respect copyright.PENANAv0RcBkvj2L
the guidance of the wisest; those known today only as the ´Centra´.676Please respect copyright.PENANA2N48o4xFzU
They alone were the keepers of the Age of Growth and they alone kept676Please respect copyright.PENANATsQUinjSxN
watch over the world itself from high atop their floating cities and other sources of676Please respect copyright.PENANA1WGg9lUdbu
awe. They surveyed and kept the balance with the aid and grace of their immeasurable676Please respect copyright.PENANAxRYVtIX6hi
achievements. Impressive feats born from their mastery of the darkest of magics: a676Please respect copyright.PENANAMFCozyYrP0
power they called science. Feats to be remembered always through mistranslated676Please respect copyright.PENANAX7mriMPeNt
words and long, half-forgotten, fables carried across generations throughout all the676Please respect copyright.PENANAKqYPYZ7Yct
corners of this exhausted world. Stories and fairy tales, words of the very old to the676Please respect copyright.PENANABi3g4H3TXR
very young as scattered memories intertwine themselves with legend, as glory and676Please respect copyright.PENANAm3CVLHAB6U
fascination eventually turn to dread and warning.676Please respect copyright.PENANAFU3D2kGkja
Narrations of incredible proportions, their words and bolstering claims easily676Please respect copyright.PENANAh6q9Sb2cDq
supported by the remaining Centra achievements, left for everyone to see upon this676Please respect copyright.PENANAln02kstjhL
dreaded world; large constructions, all arrogant and defiant in their design.676Please respect copyright.PENANAY8aWMF32c9
Temples standing proud to this day atop higher mountains while waiting for the676Please respect copyright.PENANApw52MdePam
brave or the foolish to step up to the challenge.676Please respect copyright.PENANAkomOM8ylFt
Cities, magnificent still, that once stood shoulder to shoulder with any cloud, now676Please respect copyright.PENANA8tpdMusBEt
just ruins upon the scarred land making up the landscapes of deserts, oceans, forests,676Please respect copyright.PENANAcwgVJQtnxM
and lakes. All of this creates a world that supplies and displays proof to these narrations676Please respect copyright.PENANAAs78ovbVja
regardless of how fantastic and unbelievable some of those assembled sentences may676Please respect copyright.PENANAfNE0Memaln
seem to the smallest of listeners.676Please respect copyright.PENANAxvshS5Cg7n
Words are always passed on with foreboding tones, for the meaning within676Please respect copyright.PENANAKAkB68fwus
its message is always the same, one of hubris and the collapse that always ensues.676Please respect copyright.PENANADWlVWoheLz
The Centra were felled, by what real reason one can only speculate, but gone is their676Please respect copyright.PENANAVtPKxrRrk1
mighty civilisation, lost to us and it was a mystery that to this day no one can be676Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2AyjVOw7M
certain of their fate. For with all that they achieved and all the power they once held;676Please respect copyright.PENANAL659OqNzRt
they were the rulers of an entire world and handlers of unmatched technologies,676Please respect copyright.PENANALwnQkF1w3W
they would still - mysteriously - disappear without a trace, leaving behind only their676Please respect copyright.PENANAOvZSdEN3qo
accomplishments. As many and as impressive as their feats seem, even today, the fears676Please respect copyright.PENANAP5BMdKJI24
were not enough to save them from whatever fate befell them. During their long reign,676Please respect copyright.PENANAiYVomz6Ry0
for countless millennia, they reshaped all the lands and built a world in their image.676Please respect copyright.PENANAzShbCbn488
They had the power to do so, and they did. They created and they destroyed.676Please respect copyright.PENANA5KVfPmmvE0
How many wonders disappeared under the Centra’s thumb? How many were born676Please respect copyright.PENANALI90xTWDzL
from their desire to create?676Please respect copyright.PENANA1i8udp4NKZ
All of this they did, until one night, in just one night, suddenly, their entire race676Please respect copyright.PENANAuobqhSeXZu
was extinguished! What was this mysterious event of cataclysmic proportions that676Please respect copyright.PENANAwaxfv5Ky1u
in a single swoop robbed the world of their biggest prize, not even leaving behind a676Please respect copyright.PENANA1UOZeXo6pb
single corpse?676Please respect copyright.PENANAUWcfahU8pN
What caused the mass extinction of these chosen and sent all their cities and other676Please respect copyright.PENANACGdtRAQ8Da
flying stations crashing down towards the earth below?676Please respect copyright.PENANAOm2aaDyKfU
The more that is revealed to us about the Centra, the closer we get to perceive their676Please respect copyright.PENANACLrZaQfWUh
real magnitude, the more fascinating and alluring the mystery of their disappearance676Please respect copyright.PENANAsfiU6ip9sz
becomes. Still, the whole world is, and likely forever will be, the largest testimony for676Please respect copyright.PENANAcuhdq9ITca
all that the Centra ever were and forever achieved.676Please respect copyright.PENANAGJyCAtn9cI
A whole world that even now, as it slowly awaits its collapse, persistently sings to676Please respect copyright.PENANAPwnYdHEelu
their glory. The Centra departed leaving behind a world of unshackled magics and676Please respect copyright.PENANAxClZ5wOJ9Z
soon to be poorly resurrected technologies. With their absence, and their machines676Please respect copyright.PENANAJyG4aFLHUz
spent and their cities toppled, so too ended the Age of Growth, but with all that the676Please respect copyright.PENANAC9boRHqz5G
Centra left behind, in time, a new Era would begin...
