the guidance of the wisest; those known today only as the ´Centra´.390Please respect copyright.PENANACZPFhCbp6u

achievements. Impressive feats born from their mastery of the darkest of magics: a390Please respect copyright.PENANAQOguV1JTun
power they called science. Feats to be remembered always through mistranslated390Please respect copyright.PENANAiIq2ozuoqN
words and long, half-forgotten, fables carried across generations throughout all the390Please respect copyright.PENANA5iqLMdOh68
corners of this exhausted world. Stories and fairy tales, words of the very old to the390Please respect copyright.PENANA8j4ZJzA7KJ
very young as scattered memories intertwine themselves with legend, as glory and390Please respect copyright.PENANAk0uKpgjAC8

Narrations of incredible proportions, their words and bolstering claims easily390Please respect copyright.PENANAuopkhjso94
supported by the remaining Centra achievements, left for everyone to see upon this390Please respect copyright.PENANAdst969xZAo
dreaded world; large constructions, all arrogant and defiant in their design.390Please respect copyright.PENANAu9jXK8U9JE

Cities, magnificent still, that once stood shoulder to shoulder with any cloud, now390Please respect copyright.PENANAUJjetiaDR2
just ruins upon the scarred land making up the landscapes of deserts, oceans, forests,390Please respect copyright.PENANAR2DocHElFP
and lakes. All of this creates a world that supplies and displays proof to these narrations390Please respect copyright.PENANAzq92k6uues

The Centra were felled, by what real reason one can only speculate, but gone is their390Please respect copyright.PENANAektMvGqyrB
mighty civilisation, lost to us and it was a mystery that to this day no one can be390Please respect copyright.PENANAkVkkJfke0L
certain of their fate. For with all that they achieved and all the power they once held;390Please respect copyright.PENANALBgNisU9Cy
they were the rulers of an entire world and handlers of unmatched technologies,390Please respect copyright.PENANADYmrB6EeOm
they would still - mysteriously - disappear without a trace, leaving behind only their390Please respect copyright.PENANAIFAtsnUCCM
accomplishments. As many and as impressive as their feats seem, even today, the fears390Please respect copyright.PENANACcqOjZOaFO
were not enough to save them from whatever fate befell them. During their long reign,390Please respect copyright.PENANA8kMrZR9sfX
for countless millennia, they reshaped all the lands and built a world in their image.390Please respect copyright.PENANAoPL6gWydbV
They had the power to do so, and they did. They created and they destroyed.390Please respect copyright.PENANAu73CMMqn7I
How many wonders disappeared under the Centra’s thumb? How many were born390Please respect copyright.PENANATmWDTqD8My
from their desire to create?390Please respect copyright.PENANA0N5AcYYj7V
All of this they did, until one night, in just one night, suddenly, their entire race390Please respect copyright.PENANAF26gtZplPc
was extinguished! What was this mysterious event of cataclysmic proportions that390Please respect copyright.PENANAdzjxFyu8Od
in a single swoop robbed the world of their biggest prize, not even leaving behind a390Please respect copyright.PENANAL11FfzUlTw

What caused the mass extinction of these chosen and sent all their cities and other390Please respect copyright.PENANA14wnT6DVOH

The more that is revealed to us about the Centra, the closer we get to perceive their390Please respect copyright.PENANAArbbgeA1zc
real magnitude, the more fascinating and alluring the mystery of their disappearance390Please respect copyright.PENANAqJY0K2beUR

all that the Centra ever were and forever achieved.390Please respect copyright.PENANARwS37O7ahb
A whole world that even now, as it slowly awaits its collapse, persistently sings to390Please respect copyright.PENANAFVq6O3UNjS
their glory. The Centra departed leaving behind a world of unshackled magics and390Please respect copyright.PENANAmwxBEqmpaU
