And this craving for more of it would reshape the world yet a second time.400Please respect copyright.PENANAWhJQm6lRz9
The Centra technology would make the world a smaller place, as through it the400Please respect copyright.PENANAdjnxfX5WyF
tribes not only began negotiating among themselves, thus giving birth to the one400Please respect copyright.PENANAJxlRc4nNGY
tongue, but they would also learn to build great many things. The skills of bow and400Please respect copyright.PENANAO2edPl3cRL
spear were replaced with much better weaponry, villages became cities, and much of400Please respect copyright.PENANAhEPqLe5r6U
the animal power was replaced with machinery. Small boats, in time, became ships and400Please respect copyright.PENANADebXBvrebe
later these too, would be for the most part dropped as soon as the first airship took to400Please respect copyright.PENANAljiyeQigBy
flight, and the skies proved to be much safer routes.400Please respect copyright.PENANAKLL5FHtDEf
However, amongst all this growth, the seeds of fear and paranoia, of distrust for400Please respect copyright.PENANAwoDlHquyeM
the other races were also growing just as much, if not more so, than the seeds of joy400Please respect copyright.PENANAdp3p6GGeDV
and illumination. All it took was the sheer thought of what any other race could400Please respect copyright.PENANAGI2yuyokQI
be after and what would they do if they obtained it, for all to succumb to despair.400Please respect copyright.PENANANl29qA1abn
The newfound freedom and safety the world had been blessed with were thus not400Please respect copyright.PENANAv5c0b1NMYp
meant to last.400Please respect copyright.PENANAa4mrMp6wgQ
Turn on each other, they did. The more advanced, the further ahead in this arms race400Please respect copyright.PENANAnR7lyrUvMm
a civilisation was, the bigger the shadow they would cast upon the rest. The race began400Please respect copyright.PENANANx6iA7HfMx
in this manner, propelled by fear and thirst for power with the two biggest offenders400Please respect copyright.PENANAKRCnPiOZ5k
being the Kingdom of Man and the Nharkim.400Please respect copyright.PENANAmq4EEiALWp
These two, somehow, quickly distanced themselves from all and for many years they400Please respect copyright.PENANAoUP6TwCfCW
were almost on equal footing. Then something happened. The Nharkim took the lead400Please respect copyright.PENANADU9gJS4WGv
and ever since then, they were ahead of any other. For many years these two empires400Please respect copyright.PENANAnSs4s0WgvX
waged war on each other until finally the Nharkim suddenly decided to leave the400Please respect copyright.PENANAF7B8Qa1rGY
continent they all shared and settle themselves on a large archipelago to the East.400Please respect copyright.PENANAPGVzRci0Fb
They left without any announcement and have not been seen since. Not quite...400Please respect copyright.PENANAVK3OJ9LDal
Naturally, it was the Humans who inherited the large landmass quickly renaming400Please respect copyright.PENANA5SORVuxuNW
it “The Celitian Continent” after their own capital “Celitia City”. Years passed and400Please respect copyright.PENANAf3BSaAaHE0
most of the other races that shared the continent began to scatter as the Human400Please respect copyright.PENANAoh5Atr4zkT
Empire kept on pushing them till there was no more land for them to run to.400Please respect copyright.PENANAfQ09ApEWai
Humans expanded and everything else diminished. Generation after generation,400Please respect copyright.PENANADs5VpQcZi8
the more humans were spreading the more and more could other races be seen in their400Please respect copyright.PENANAs0VmSeUYWm
cities, free to live as they deemed fit. They still had their very own towns here or there,400Please respect copyright.PENANA4kwmKQu1EJ
but these were growing scarce and so, for the most part, every other race could be seen400Please respect copyright.PENANAzezJbuKJbD
much like today in any number of Human settlements. Earning an honest day’s work400Please respect copyright.PENANAAZFCnziaiS
or drinking their lives away much like Humans love to do, for they have always shared400Please respect copyright.PENANA3Zjq0FehQh
equal rights.400Please respect copyright.PENANAvtnszXQW1f
Still, for all this, many dislike the race of Man for “absorbing” everyone into their400Please respect copyright.PENANAD6De3o5JjQ
kingdom, slowly making other traditions and values disappear. So sometimes it is400Please respect copyright.PENANAn8w1CkTrzU
dangerous for Humans to come across other, more “hateful” races.400Please respect copyright.PENANApYHM3u51W5
Nowadays occasionally, one comes across a nonhuman town that is exclusive to400Please respect copyright.PENANAjQxzkxHZEn
their own kin. Not in the main continent at least, where the Humans have long taken400Please respect copyright.PENANAAuolV7IME1
over and their laws are enforced pretty much everywhere. Equal rights for the price of400Please respect copyright.PENANAwyZorKCqtK
equal duties. Of course, on other more uncharted and undesirable masses of land, who400Please respect copyright.PENANA3gEjlBUBXL
knows who or what makes their kingdom there. Despite all, nothing has changed, and400Please respect copyright.PENANAq5gDy1UPx9
no hunger has been lost as most races still fear one another. Most still compete with400Please respect copyright.PENANAjQjs3B84ny
one another, fiercely as each one seeks that Centra gift that might just give them the400Please respect copyright.PENANAfvouVLPcoX
edge.400Please respect copyright.PENANAZLJLpAkESL
From the greater empires to the smaller tribes living underground or in swamps, all400Please respect copyright.PENANAXcLqgwOFi6
around the world, across any landmass where there is smart enough life, someone is400Please respect copyright.PENANA913qC0vaiq
pursuing those Centra secrets. To sell to the highest bidder or for the glory of their400Please respect copyright.PENANAeJyNJUsNE2
own race, the search is never-ending. It has been like this since this Era started and it400Please respect copyright.PENANA96b9OyAG9Y
is this way even now.400Please respect copyright.PENANARqNUt7E5LA
And such unravel of this world’s decline shows no signs of slowing down, as400Please respect copyright.PENANA3QmQleVJ1w
especially the Humans, keep on wanting. They alone hold the majority of all the greed400Please respect copyright.PENANAfYlAzelLg6
and all the fear that infests the world in these dark times, as they keep pushing fiercely400Please respect copyright.PENANAIty0dqEVKV
for the monopoly of all the Centra market. The acquisition of all Centra findings400Please respect copyright.PENANASfEAzyx8wi
for which the Human king is willing to do anything for, either paying for them400Please respect copyright.PENANA3rghTx5ndU
handsomely or by taking them by any other means if need be.
