the guidance of the wisest; those known today only as the ´Centra´.350Please respect copyright.PENANAkcbXOqTgmB
They alone were the keepers of the Age of Growth and they alone kept350Please respect copyright.PENANA9R3b0RbtMf
watch over the world itself from high atop their floating cities and other sources of350Please respect copyright.PENANAJlT1zL5ESj
awe. They surveyed and kept the balance with the aid and grace of their immeasurable350Please respect copyright.PENANAvhwjd0qpaj
achievements. Impressive feats born from their mastery of the darkest of magics: a350Please respect copyright.PENANABbBhZDcrgW
power they called science. Feats to be remembered always through mistranslated350Please respect copyright.PENANAISfTZ3kJwP
words and long, half-forgotten, fables carried across generations throughout all the350Please respect copyright.PENANA9DKMxCWKAO
corners of this exhausted world. Stories and fairy tales, words of the very old to the350Please respect copyright.PENANAlCXrOtiLNg
very young as scattered memories intertwine themselves with legend, as glory and350Please respect copyright.PENANAaUEZIAunX4
fascination eventually turn to dread and warning.350Please respect copyright.PENANAeYYmijGDEc
Narrations of incredible proportions, their words and bolstering claims easily350Please respect copyright.PENANARcGfW0WNxq
supported by the remaining Centra achievements, left for everyone to see upon this350Please respect copyright.PENANA2LRDGMqiGD
dreaded world; large constructions, all arrogant and defiant in their design.350Please respect copyright.PENANA8n1uD2r3ZJ
Temples standing proud to this day atop higher mountains while waiting for the350Please respect copyright.PENANACxEyQZBmBC
brave or the foolish to step up to the challenge.350Please respect copyright.PENANAYZswVd9z8i
Cities, magnificent still, that once stood shoulder to shoulder with any cloud, now350Please respect copyright.PENANAlkCfjILHXz
just ruins upon the scarred land making up the landscapes of deserts, oceans, forests,350Please respect copyright.PENANA8fSotQV8cK
and lakes. All of this creates a world that supplies and displays proof to these narrations350Please respect copyright.PENANAbznIMxssVe
regardless of how fantastic and unbelievable some of those assembled sentences may350Please respect copyright.PENANAPhjYo0sRXO
seem to the smallest of listeners.350Please respect copyright.PENANA0sPewPeagf

its message is always the same, one of hubris and the collapse that always ensues.350Please respect copyright.PENANAXnjwXrC7UR
The Centra were felled, by what real reason one can only speculate, but gone is their350Please respect copyright.PENANAsPAmBduwSC
mighty civilisation, lost to us and it was a mystery that to this day no one can be350Please respect copyright.PENANAQSyP7BOh8L
certain of their fate. For with all that they achieved and all the power they once held;350Please respect copyright.PENANAVLxZYbnEZa
they were the rulers of an entire world and handlers of unmatched technologies,350Please respect copyright.PENANAYhUyYvQ50l
they would still - mysteriously - disappear without a trace, leaving behind only their350Please respect copyright.PENANA2ChT2z1UpM
accomplishments. As many and as impressive as their feats seem, even today, the fears350Please respect copyright.PENANAQeH9F9BhxQ
were not enough to save them from whatever fate befell them. During their long reign,350Please respect copyright.PENANAoVY9ePAoES
for countless millennia, they reshaped all the lands and built a world in their image.350Please respect copyright.PENANAV1PgcTZeke
They had the power to do so, and they did. They created and they destroyed.350Please respect copyright.PENANArj2wJOzmvE
How many wonders disappeared under the Centra’s thumb? How many were born350Please respect copyright.PENANAdcyLVc9FTT
from their desire to create?350Please respect copyright.PENANAieHaD7tJ72
All of this they did, until one night, in just one night, suddenly, their entire race350Please respect copyright.PENANAaXOeEH4eAz
was extinguished! What was this mysterious event of cataclysmic proportions that350Please respect copyright.PENANAaX3BKvTZ5z
in a single swoop robbed the world of their biggest prize, not even leaving behind a350Please respect copyright.PENANAhPSggE0m1c
single corpse?350Please respect copyright.PENANAnDkWZYpGyz
What caused the mass extinction of these chosen and sent all their cities and other350Please respect copyright.PENANAg99c3SXTZV

The more that is revealed to us about the Centra, the closer we get to perceive their350Please respect copyright.PENANAdGPfMoxTWM
real magnitude, the more fascinating and alluring the mystery of their disappearance350Please respect copyright.PENANALImnqQl29A
becomes. Still, the whole world is, and likely forever will be, the largest testimony for350Please respect copyright.PENANAiLzFK6AFCe
all that the Centra ever were and forever achieved.350Please respect copyright.PENANAepEJMb4Kpz
A whole world that even now, as it slowly awaits its collapse, persistently sings to350Please respect copyright.PENANANGUTDlDUvR
their glory. The Centra departed leaving behind a world of unshackled magics and350Please respect copyright.PENANAppVK1xoSDM
soon to be poorly resurrected technologies. With their absence, and their machines350Please respect copyright.PENANAblgYMt269W
