And this craving for more of it would reshape the world yet a second time.678Please respect copyright.PENANANYaEO1qQkj
The Centra technology would make the world a smaller place, as through it the678Please respect copyright.PENANAiV6IfXIrz4
tribes not only began negotiating among themselves, thus giving birth to the one678Please respect copyright.PENANAbnqgeOxfd2
tongue, but they would also learn to build great many things. The skills of bow and678Please respect copyright.PENANAjIOW2cks8L
spear were replaced with much better weaponry, villages became cities, and much of678Please respect copyright.PENANAdFXajYfg0K
the animal power was replaced with machinery. Small boats, in time, became ships and678Please respect copyright.PENANANnAd1oZ9Lp
later these too, would be for the most part dropped as soon as the first airship took to678Please respect copyright.PENANAK6qqCqETU1
flight, and the skies proved to be much safer routes.678Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ0VIE6XRj
However, amongst all this growth, the seeds of fear and paranoia, of distrust for678Please respect copyright.PENANAC8BHTDBbeb
the other races were also growing just as much, if not more so, than the seeds of joy678Please respect copyright.PENANAvqIJvXAEBp
and illumination. All it took was the sheer thought of what any other race could678Please respect copyright.PENANAn2ebHdBiIS
be after and what would they do if they obtained it, for all to succumb to despair.678Please respect copyright.PENANA3XSkYBtwIm
The newfound freedom and safety the world had been blessed with were thus not678Please respect copyright.PENANAD1gxMhgQxR
meant to last.678Please respect copyright.PENANARZ2rvK1r9Y
Turn on each other, they did. The more advanced, the further ahead in this arms race678Please respect copyright.PENANA7ijjKUxLp3
a civilisation was, the bigger the shadow they would cast upon the rest. The race began678Please respect copyright.PENANAkUwVcO5Iq6
in this manner, propelled by fear and thirst for power with the two biggest offenders678Please respect copyright.PENANAzSbBr04wud
being the Kingdom of Man and the Nharkim.678Please respect copyright.PENANAOvh0Vhz9e0
These two, somehow, quickly distanced themselves from all and for many years they678Please respect copyright.PENANAukZKOkN1S8
were almost on equal footing. Then something happened. The Nharkim took the lead678Please respect copyright.PENANAxWmXlEyddr
and ever since then, they were ahead of any other. For many years these two empires678Please respect copyright.PENANANBwLx6JmNJ
waged war on each other until finally the Nharkim suddenly decided to leave the678Please respect copyright.PENANAgXbPxjj0ai
continent they all shared and settle themselves on a large archipelago to the East.678Please respect copyright.PENANAW2YgbiAG0P
They left without any announcement and have not been seen since. Not quite...678Please respect copyright.PENANAgA1wJOz76t
Naturally, it was the Humans who inherited the large landmass quickly renaming678Please respect copyright.PENANAQA6oU172c0
it “The Celitian Continent” after their own capital “Celitia City”. Years passed and678Please respect copyright.PENANAL7SAwmjUJ1
most of the other races that shared the continent began to scatter as the Human678Please respect copyright.PENANAWbNE7adLDT
Empire kept on pushing them till there was no more land for them to run to.678Please respect copyright.PENANACPd7FkQzU3
Humans expanded and everything else diminished. Generation after generation,678Please respect copyright.PENANAKBQBsOD6qf
the more humans were spreading the more and more could other races be seen in their678Please respect copyright.PENANAdgTQO7di7n
cities, free to live as they deemed fit. They still had their very own towns here or there,678Please respect copyright.PENANAxMdV2wXynC
but these were growing scarce and so, for the most part, every other race could be seen678Please respect copyright.PENANARcJ6O2eXPs
much like today in any number of Human settlements. Earning an honest day’s work678Please respect copyright.PENANAyl5s0GTGMd
or drinking their lives away much like Humans love to do, for they have always shared678Please respect copyright.PENANADL6rxB6Shn
equal rights.678Please respect copyright.PENANAh5NkkwYiZ1
Still, for all this, many dislike the race of Man for “absorbing” everyone into their678Please respect copyright.PENANArwSS6kuvpL
kingdom, slowly making other traditions and values disappear. So sometimes it is678Please respect copyright.PENANA1qNKumRUfW
dangerous for Humans to come across other, more “hateful” races.678Please respect copyright.PENANA22nByZYcxZ
Nowadays occasionally, one comes across a nonhuman town that is exclusive to678Please respect copyright.PENANAuCxE1D6OFn
their own kin. Not in the main continent at least, where the Humans have long taken678Please respect copyright.PENANAayco7fdkOA
over and their laws are enforced pretty much everywhere. Equal rights for the price of678Please respect copyright.PENANAs2NpF6dTPw
equal duties. Of course, on other more uncharted and undesirable masses of land, who678Please respect copyright.PENANA9Fpj72WzKF
knows who or what makes their kingdom there. Despite all, nothing has changed, and678Please respect copyright.PENANAqwzhpYU1op
no hunger has been lost as most races still fear one another. Most still compete with678Please respect copyright.PENANALnb88cyGw8
one another, fiercely as each one seeks that Centra gift that might just give them the678Please respect copyright.PENANA9l0s2ZzlND
edge.678Please respect copyright.PENANAcnMKvEZLDX
From the greater empires to the smaller tribes living underground or in swamps, all678Please respect copyright.PENANA8nx3tpR1uh
around the world, across any landmass where there is smart enough life, someone is678Please respect copyright.PENANA0tAhvK4cdX
pursuing those Centra secrets. To sell to the highest bidder or for the glory of their678Please respect copyright.PENANAf1x1a77e7f
own race, the search is never-ending. It has been like this since this Era started and it678Please respect copyright.PENANAjeRcJzMWjH
is this way even now.678Please respect copyright.PENANAy2iYWJ0nVR
And such unravel of this world’s decline shows no signs of slowing down, as678Please respect copyright.PENANAsfLhZRk63L
especially the Humans, keep on wanting. They alone hold the majority of all the greed678Please respect copyright.PENANAzKZflu5o0i
and all the fear that infests the world in these dark times, as they keep pushing fiercely678Please respect copyright.PENANAmfx7upfBPp
for the monopoly of all the Centra market. The acquisition of all Centra findings678Please respect copyright.PENANAyFSErYNlq5
for which the Human king is willing to do anything for, either paying for them678Please respect copyright.PENANAROuQC3cQ0s
handsomely or by taking them by any other means if need be.
