This one, the second Era of this world... the aptly called Age of Pursuit...323Please respect copyright.PENANAcJcIMeRPMG
The Centra were gone but the world would continue, still bound to their will but323Please respect copyright.PENANAKq2kbTr98R
now without their guiding hand. Instead, it would be all that they had left behind that323Please respect copyright.PENANA518ItzbzV1
would now set a new curse for the world after them. Once the Centra had claimed this323Please respect copyright.PENANASPR22syG1I
world to themselves, thanks to their mastery of all sciences, magics and technology323Please respect copyright.PENANAQOpSQR3PNd
that provided them with the unparalleled (hateful profanities to some and cause for323Please respect copyright.PENANAKyVZDNyWnT
divine worship to others) that ran rampant across the entire planet to this very day.323Please respect copyright.PENANAjrVIW8KypV
All that they built and accomplished, all that defined their very existence; an entire323Please respect copyright.PENANAVJa0JU1RlU
empire spanning across all continents, all seas and the one sky, was left behind for323Please respect copyright.PENANASx4fa6MukS
those that would eventually follow.323Please respect copyright.PENANApZ78kT3It4
Who would dare guess how long it came to pass since the world woke up one day in323Please respect copyright.PENANA6vOABFmLti
complete silence, the sound of their rulership absent, before life would finally resume323Please respect copyright.PENANA1BP6B4Xpjz
its course? With no more thunderous machines or hovering cities, and with no more323Please respect copyright.PENANA6Eb91UOY5S
Centra to command it all, an entire world was now free. How long for the first races323Please respect copyright.PENANA4FgaVVea7g
to sprout forth and begin their own curse, and does any of it matter?323Please respect copyright.PENANAczF0wsqKca
Eventually, of course, they did. And little by little they grew. At first, little more323Please respect copyright.PENANAWxLGj1PRom
than animals scrapping for food but in time they would master several forms of323Please respect copyright.PENANAT5yAgQFXmZ
hunting and fishing, and from there they would evolve to the races of our current time.323Please respect copyright.PENANArB0b60uisc
Slowly but surely, that was how the current races of this world came about. Humans323Please respect copyright.PENANAYvt9Kdn4I5
and those that would later call themselves the Nharkim as well as countless others;323Please respect copyright.PENANAxbbd32GQSa
Twinkledinnes, Sandrackar, Maruic, Dreibos and many more. And for an exceedingly323Please respect copyright.PENANAjsZWIyTS49
long time, they were just that, tribes of fishermen and hunters struggling to find shelter323Please respect copyright.PENANAyxNRxX12kM
from the heavy rains. Nothing more than primitive and superstitious creatures, each323Please respect copyright.PENANA9qEOlNvvXe
with their customs and fears for the world may have been silent, the Centra absent,323Please respect copyright.PENANAG4ks2oWbvv
but fear still roamed the lands and kept all living things in check, regardless of beliefs.323Please respect copyright.PENANAAxlBJbjiYq
And would continue to do so for aeons. I would claim it still does so, even today, if323Please respect copyright.PENANArRdKqO0TrQ
only for the less privileged.323Please respect copyright.PENANAIEgTNTO1Ed
Our current Era really began, as always, with an apparent meaningless action of323Please respect copyright.PENANAmN6bkMG9j7
not much importance, but enough to start the largest of all chain of events. That small323Please respect copyright.PENANAaWMDMljVxO
gesture that opened the way for what would define our world to this very day; the Era323Please respect copyright.PENANAqMOF0MFlAk
of Pursuit began, the moment a member of the small and meek tribe of Twinkledinnes,323Please respect copyright.PENANAdfBbrf67J4
one of the tiniest races one could ever hope to meet, decided to venture forth into one323Please respect copyright.PENANAUzbCVb29ua
of the forbidden zones. Any area where Centra remnants were known to exist were323Please respect copyright.PENANAuJ5FRXCsIe
best avoided - a taboo.323Please respect copyright.PENANA6JSHomFKjG
What was the motive that drove such a small creature?323Please respect copyright.PENANAy6JwGVLkux
That is now lost to us, dissolved in the ebb and flow of time but the result of such an323Please respect copyright.PENANAwWadqybowX
action defines all things today. Into one of the Centra ruins that Twinkledinne went323Please respect copyright.PENANAA5npSbYh4Q
and when he came out, he did so with something in his hands. That very moment,323Please respect copyright.PENANAlV6V9hvc3M
where this small creature showed there was not only nothing to fear from those areas323Please respect copyright.PENANAZOtfS3PTlg
but there were also rewards to be picked up, that was when this Era truly began.323Please respect copyright.PENANA7jETPbKpwk
Word began to spread, and the veil of fear and superstition was lifted. All tribes,323Please respect copyright.PENANAFA5V3eVZK7
in time, came to learn that there was nothing to fear from venturing into Centra323Please respect copyright.PENANAGi67dOsKN4
territories. No longer were these Centra remnants cursed places, to be feared and323Please respect copyright.PENANAsx0quUEZcF
avoided for either religious reasons imposed by most tribes or the mere common sense323Please respect copyright.PENANAs0luPaXtUg
of the passing traveller. No. Now anything Centra was a place to be actively sought out323Please respect copyright.PENANA0OYLaBp9mM
and where fortune could be found. One by one every tribe of every race got into this,323Please respect copyright.PENANA13mxysRMYZ
offering handsome rewards to anyone presenting them with anything made by Centra,323Please respect copyright.PENANAEtkf7M68ZU
even to those outside their own race.323Please respect copyright.PENANAA7Z9pWX7CR
And so, greed was ironically enough, the will that broke any previous isolation and323Please respect copyright.PENANA2bxp7jyc4W
made most embrace outside relations. But what brought all the races together would323Please respect copyright.PENANA0NAZmr7936
also tear them apart. At first, most things were bought and sold as decorum, but as323Please respect copyright.PENANA5PKfQHpqTu
time went on and the races kept evolving and learning from these finds, their value and323Please respect copyright.PENANA0MOFcGzZNj
their importance kept increasing.323Please respect copyright.PENANALllwyoaVyN
From the study and learning of these Centra finds, most races began evolving,323Please respect copyright.PENANADFdZfyuECw
building, finding cures for the sick and easier ways to withstand the cold storms.323Please respect copyright.PENANALbFijmv8Qc
It became obvious to all that this was their future, that the finding of more and more323Please respect copyright.PENANA1vtGXVwIHm
Centra technology, or anything concerning it, was their new path.
