the guidance of the wisest; those known today only as the ´Centra´.404Please respect copyright.PENANACL0DiUYV6g
They alone were the keepers of the Age of Growth and they alone kept404Please respect copyright.PENANAFGmVqqM3tl
watch over the world itself from high atop their floating cities and other sources of404Please respect copyright.PENANA3ANuFpW8vK
awe. They surveyed and kept the balance with the aid and grace of their immeasurable404Please respect copyright.PENANAAtghuDUIOw
achievements. Impressive feats born from their mastery of the darkest of magics: a404Please respect copyright.PENANAxgKmk5Cgzo
power they called science. Feats to be remembered always through mistranslated404Please respect copyright.PENANAgsER1zBPfo
words and long, half-forgotten, fables carried across generations throughout all the404Please respect copyright.PENANASHQDFMU86t
corners of this exhausted world. Stories and fairy tales, words of the very old to the404Please respect copyright.PENANAAFGCtod8Nj
very young as scattered memories intertwine themselves with legend, as glory and404Please respect copyright.PENANAhJsUIAx2Vw

Narrations of incredible proportions, their words and bolstering claims easily404Please respect copyright.PENANA5VdA7p6JMa
supported by the remaining Centra achievements, left for everyone to see upon this404Please respect copyright.PENANA5Rnn0TRTAp
dreaded world; large constructions, all arrogant and defiant in their design.404Please respect copyright.PENANAqGn7AwiwFv

Cities, magnificent still, that once stood shoulder to shoulder with any cloud, now404Please respect copyright.PENANAeAvbmo4ggJ
just ruins upon the scarred land making up the landscapes of deserts, oceans, forests,404Please respect copyright.PENANACBmNjFF7cr
and lakes. All of this creates a world that supplies and displays proof to these narrations404Please respect copyright.PENANA9rd240jU76
regardless of how fantastic and unbelievable some of those assembled sentences may404Please respect copyright.PENANAOnH9EjBjde

The Centra were felled, by what real reason one can only speculate, but gone is their404Please respect copyright.PENANAQO5jJOt2iq
mighty civilisation, lost to us and it was a mystery that to this day no one can be404Please respect copyright.PENANAey0zF7PgJR
certain of their fate. For with all that they achieved and all the power they once held;404Please respect copyright.PENANArRd9bsjQzq
they were the rulers of an entire world and handlers of unmatched technologies,404Please respect copyright.PENANAWRUX0x7E8z
they would still - mysteriously - disappear without a trace, leaving behind only their404Please respect copyright.PENANAWJuUElslpL
accomplishments. As many and as impressive as their feats seem, even today, the fears404Please respect copyright.PENANAh4WegCad2L
were not enough to save them from whatever fate befell them. During their long reign,404Please respect copyright.PENANATItYiFqh9z
for countless millennia, they reshaped all the lands and built a world in their image.404Please respect copyright.PENANASHyr8eCvnY
They had the power to do so, and they did. They created and they destroyed.404Please respect copyright.PENANABpPueBhi1I
How many wonders disappeared under the Centra’s thumb? How many were born404Please respect copyright.PENANAiyw4HGqPmQ
from their desire to create?404Please respect copyright.PENANAUWVbosEimC
All of this they did, until one night, in just one night, suddenly, their entire race404Please respect copyright.PENANASHIa5bv2eD
was extinguished! What was this mysterious event of cataclysmic proportions that404Please respect copyright.PENANArc4Yl1yryW
in a single swoop robbed the world of their biggest prize, not even leaving behind a404Please respect copyright.PENANACgisibGC4W
single corpse?404Please respect copyright.PENANAQNadjTf5Oa
What caused the mass extinction of these chosen and sent all their cities and other404Please respect copyright.PENANA5quikzFlSV

The more that is revealed to us about the Centra, the closer we get to perceive their404Please respect copyright.PENANAV1fgkQDO1p
real magnitude, the more fascinating and alluring the mystery of their disappearance404Please respect copyright.PENANAPfe8JStACY
becomes. Still, the whole world is, and likely forever will be, the largest testimony for404Please respect copyright.PENANAOy7VkDTTJO
all that the Centra ever were and forever achieved.404Please respect copyright.PENANAatrH11Fy3b
A whole world that even now, as it slowly awaits its collapse, persistently sings to404Please respect copyright.PENANATfn0SzFQxm
their glory. The Centra departed leaving behind a world of unshackled magics and404Please respect copyright.PENANA5yMmAClJAI
soon to be poorly resurrected technologies. With their absence, and their machines404Please respect copyright.PENANA76E6V6o5WC
