This one, the second Era of this world... the aptly called Age of Pursuit...398Please respect copyright.PENANAi2Rzx8NUkc
The Centra were gone but the world would continue, still bound to their will but398Please respect copyright.PENANA9RIvXllqK7
now without their guiding hand. Instead, it would be all that they had left behind that398Please respect copyright.PENANAZfZiNMAbCT
would now set a new curse for the world after them. Once the Centra had claimed this398Please respect copyright.PENANAwbpWbeyxho
world to themselves, thanks to their mastery of all sciences, magics and technology398Please respect copyright.PENANAHMr5MQx7HY
that provided them with the unparalleled (hateful profanities to some and cause for398Please respect copyright.PENANATvJsESkjWy
divine worship to others) that ran rampant across the entire planet to this very day.398Please respect copyright.PENANAW7RGmcJCrB
All that they built and accomplished, all that defined their very existence; an entire398Please respect copyright.PENANAHw1Z2G5PIK
empire spanning across all continents, all seas and the one sky, was left behind for398Please respect copyright.PENANA6J6C1FOw6N
those that would eventually follow.398Please respect copyright.PENANAdK6mlpCxUR
Who would dare guess how long it came to pass since the world woke up one day in398Please respect copyright.PENANAhPGKcb7ZWd
complete silence, the sound of their rulership absent, before life would finally resume398Please respect copyright.PENANArMkhI1fxSF
its course? With no more thunderous machines or hovering cities, and with no more398Please respect copyright.PENANAqxeM8S5XDx
Centra to command it all, an entire world was now free. How long for the first races398Please respect copyright.PENANAzH7k3XyI7k
to sprout forth and begin their own curse, and does any of it matter?398Please respect copyright.PENANAJlk9QusFp8
Eventually, of course, they did. And little by little they grew. At first, little more398Please respect copyright.PENANAGMl0R6W9fO
than animals scrapping for food but in time they would master several forms of398Please respect copyright.PENANAZmjSs73SbX
hunting and fishing, and from there they would evolve to the races of our current time.398Please respect copyright.PENANATFXUFbd5Mq
Slowly but surely, that was how the current races of this world came about. Humans398Please respect copyright.PENANAhvOuieE4Ns
and those that would later call themselves the Nharkim as well as countless others;398Please respect copyright.PENANACQXbCtO39X
Twinkledinnes, Sandrackar, Maruic, Dreibos and many more. And for an exceedingly398Please respect copyright.PENANAdqgROqobMf
long time, they were just that, tribes of fishermen and hunters struggling to find shelter398Please respect copyright.PENANAoUfnlNcNSX
from the heavy rains. Nothing more than primitive and superstitious creatures, each398Please respect copyright.PENANAccg2Eql1Gc
with their customs and fears for the world may have been silent, the Centra absent,398Please respect copyright.PENANAscas0SOR5S
but fear still roamed the lands and kept all living things in check, regardless of beliefs.398Please respect copyright.PENANAct0kgHpHEf
And would continue to do so for aeons. I would claim it still does so, even today, if398Please respect copyright.PENANA2iyvl45057
only for the less privileged.398Please respect copyright.PENANAt0EizL5Hz7
Our current Era really began, as always, with an apparent meaningless action of398Please respect copyright.PENANAc07RcmMVHE
not much importance, but enough to start the largest of all chain of events. That small398Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZQf8jigxY
gesture that opened the way for what would define our world to this very day; the Era398Please respect copyright.PENANAe1sZudhGs5
of Pursuit began, the moment a member of the small and meek tribe of Twinkledinnes,398Please respect copyright.PENANAk77je3pYnX
one of the tiniest races one could ever hope to meet, decided to venture forth into one398Please respect copyright.PENANADZdR0MUBv4
of the forbidden zones. Any area where Centra remnants were known to exist were398Please respect copyright.PENANAu7TCWDF56F
best avoided - a taboo.398Please respect copyright.PENANAWt8Ak91ZHM
What was the motive that drove such a small creature?398Please respect copyright.PENANA0vlRZg2rkb
That is now lost to us, dissolved in the ebb and flow of time but the result of such an398Please respect copyright.PENANAJbb4WAyNH1
action defines all things today. Into one of the Centra ruins that Twinkledinne went398Please respect copyright.PENANA88L20dlV0p
and when he came out, he did so with something in his hands. That very moment,398Please respect copyright.PENANA2nJZFnC2yr
where this small creature showed there was not only nothing to fear from those areas398Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3pxUDRuGs
but there were also rewards to be picked up, that was when this Era truly began.398Please respect copyright.PENANA8WzhCJd6uw
Word began to spread, and the veil of fear and superstition was lifted. All tribes,398Please respect copyright.PENANA7K3wuAjdq6
in time, came to learn that there was nothing to fear from venturing into Centra398Please respect copyright.PENANAaARGybLpGC
territories. No longer were these Centra remnants cursed places, to be feared and398Please respect copyright.PENANAsxwlNmRoTt
avoided for either religious reasons imposed by most tribes or the mere common sense398Please respect copyright.PENANArqLi5DNVMT
of the passing traveller. No. Now anything Centra was a place to be actively sought out398Please respect copyright.PENANApr0yQtXdFY
and where fortune could be found. One by one every tribe of every race got into this,398Please respect copyright.PENANAhpFXabuSjC
offering handsome rewards to anyone presenting them with anything made by Centra,398Please respect copyright.PENANA1i3a2ydDhK
even to those outside their own race.398Please respect copyright.PENANAElGaSn9VIA
And so, greed was ironically enough, the will that broke any previous isolation and398Please respect copyright.PENANApfc1gQeDHE
made most embrace outside relations. But what brought all the races together would398Please respect copyright.PENANAyVgbQuRU7v
also tear them apart. At first, most things were bought and sold as decorum, but as398Please respect copyright.PENANA3x25e7R9Hj
time went on and the races kept evolving and learning from these finds, their value and398Please respect copyright.PENANAQkBGeHRpbF
their importance kept increasing.398Please respect copyright.PENANARcuNQK1gIu
From the study and learning of these Centra finds, most races began evolving,398Please respect copyright.PENANAeOiqEKX3jk
building, finding cures for the sick and easier ways to withstand the cold storms.398Please respect copyright.PENANAc81qzORjxm
It became obvious to all that this was their future, that the finding of more and more398Please respect copyright.PENANAGYjd2v1PlC
Centra technology, or anything concerning it, was their new path.
