This one, the second Era of this world... the aptly called Age of Pursuit...281Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1MBltv9Fv
The Centra were gone but the world would continue, still bound to their will but281Please respect copyright.PENANA54h67u5Ni1
now without their guiding hand. Instead, it would be all that they had left behind that281Please respect copyright.PENANAEZbJQz9PqD
would now set a new curse for the world after them. Once the Centra had claimed this281Please respect copyright.PENANATvTB9VFil4
world to themselves, thanks to their mastery of all sciences, magics and technology281Please respect copyright.PENANA37JSD8MDcr
that provided them with the unparalleled (hateful profanities to some and cause for281Please respect copyright.PENANAMboTCGQhH7
divine worship to others) that ran rampant across the entire planet to this very day.281Please respect copyright.PENANAaJTwSLk9sV
All that they built and accomplished, all that defined their very existence; an entire281Please respect copyright.PENANAG0sIELrxDN
empire spanning across all continents, all seas and the one sky, was left behind for281Please respect copyright.PENANAwIEvXobW3F
those that would eventually follow.281Please respect copyright.PENANAVFaYZxHEOA
Who would dare guess how long it came to pass since the world woke up one day in281Please respect copyright.PENANAlvxBJ4oOvt
complete silence, the sound of their rulership absent, before life would finally resume281Please respect copyright.PENANA9RXoXNYWiT
its course? With no more thunderous machines or hovering cities, and with no more281Please respect copyright.PENANAFUSObgCIya
Centra to command it all, an entire world was now free. How long for the first races281Please respect copyright.PENANAqfQQVNLnkF
to sprout forth and begin their own curse, and does any of it matter?281Please respect copyright.PENANAC5bvs8uTdP
Eventually, of course, they did. And little by little they grew. At first, little more281Please respect copyright.PENANA3TOCdidGuY
than animals scrapping for food but in time they would master several forms of281Please respect copyright.PENANA05RvCQMhey
hunting and fishing, and from there they would evolve to the races of our current time.281Please respect copyright.PENANAuDHkhk6lL8
Slowly but surely, that was how the current races of this world came about. Humans281Please respect copyright.PENANAJk9GnnKdnU
and those that would later call themselves the Nharkim as well as countless others;281Please respect copyright.PENANAhokZ6mCWVA
Twinkledinnes, Sandrackar, Maruic, Dreibos and many more. And for an exceedingly281Please respect copyright.PENANAHBV7TNVWFw
long time, they were just that, tribes of fishermen and hunters struggling to find shelter281Please respect copyright.PENANATVhwOXnI2h
from the heavy rains. Nothing more than primitive and superstitious creatures, each281Please respect copyright.PENANAE9FUtIcXH7
with their customs and fears for the world may have been silent, the Centra absent,281Please respect copyright.PENANAQJaYxtiGwN
but fear still roamed the lands and kept all living things in check, regardless of beliefs.281Please respect copyright.PENANAEYJjSIRPBn
And would continue to do so for aeons. I would claim it still does so, even today, if281Please respect copyright.PENANAS7GMhmc3GC
only for the less privileged.281Please respect copyright.PENANATucjFM3Ejn
Our current Era really began, as always, with an apparent meaningless action of281Please respect copyright.PENANAV5zRkwt1aN
not much importance, but enough to start the largest of all chain of events. That small281Please respect copyright.PENANAdWJSlkors0
gesture that opened the way for what would define our world to this very day; the Era281Please respect copyright.PENANAkWkW6sSM53
of Pursuit began, the moment a member of the small and meek tribe of Twinkledinnes,281Please respect copyright.PENANA9O3xqgSqs9
one of the tiniest races one could ever hope to meet, decided to venture forth into one281Please respect copyright.PENANAOw3XCihLz2
of the forbidden zones. Any area where Centra remnants were known to exist were281Please respect copyright.PENANAxdL60Unowk
best avoided - a taboo.281Please respect copyright.PENANAHxdFSKeayh
What was the motive that drove such a small creature?281Please respect copyright.PENANAgeJj6Vfnuc
That is now lost to us, dissolved in the ebb and flow of time but the result of such an281Please respect copyright.PENANA14zguGlLEH
action defines all things today. Into one of the Centra ruins that Twinkledinne went281Please respect copyright.PENANA1qmvVeMllX
and when he came out, he did so with something in his hands. That very moment,281Please respect copyright.PENANAlX6ZXvhsk2
where this small creature showed there was not only nothing to fear from those areas281Please respect copyright.PENANAf0Lq1iQgVh
but there were also rewards to be picked up, that was when this Era truly began.281Please respect copyright.PENANASG3g0N6lSA
Word began to spread, and the veil of fear and superstition was lifted. All tribes,281Please respect copyright.PENANAFnAfekcsCL
in time, came to learn that there was nothing to fear from venturing into Centra281Please respect copyright.PENANAREQn3ZL1zl
territories. No longer were these Centra remnants cursed places, to be feared and281Please respect copyright.PENANAToBypfUzSG
avoided for either religious reasons imposed by most tribes or the mere common sense281Please respect copyright.PENANAXMdAQ1eYZi
of the passing traveller. No. Now anything Centra was a place to be actively sought out281Please respect copyright.PENANASkGA5HHD3j
and where fortune could be found. One by one every tribe of every race got into this,281Please respect copyright.PENANAH3OzAJrBmo
offering handsome rewards to anyone presenting them with anything made by Centra,281Please respect copyright.PENANAAwZTMbxO2F
even to those outside their own race.281Please respect copyright.PENANABRy4P1mLGQ
And so, greed was ironically enough, the will that broke any previous isolation and281Please respect copyright.PENANAtkxybWFdem
made most embrace outside relations. But what brought all the races together would281Please respect copyright.PENANAswixq4Fbnz
also tear them apart. At first, most things were bought and sold as decorum, but as281Please respect copyright.PENANAX1lNYk9cFm
time went on and the races kept evolving and learning from these finds, their value and281Please respect copyright.PENANAvuLFICk6Hc
their importance kept increasing.281Please respect copyright.PENANAwnUkiFT7su
From the study and learning of these Centra finds, most races began evolving,281Please respect copyright.PENANAXjZX6WzJHz
building, finding cures for the sick and easier ways to withstand the cold storms.281Please respect copyright.PENANArT8u0KOtxR
It became obvious to all that this was their future, that the finding of more and more281Please respect copyright.PENANABKETFskUI8
Centra technology, or anything concerning it, was their new path.
