And this craving for more of it would reshape the world yet a second time.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyCws5XCq4
The Centra technology would make the world a smaller place, as through it the317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfjF0UsMJj
tribes not only began negotiating among themselves, thus giving birth to the one317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsBEsrdmMe
tongue, but they would also learn to build great many things. The skills of bow and317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0uFoqkbbX
spear were replaced with much better weaponry, villages became cities, and much of317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst4llmZbUM
the animal power was replaced with machinery. Small boats, in time, became ships and317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJvDarz8bB
later these too, would be for the most part dropped as soon as the first airship took to317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KhDBsJiqM
flight, and the skies proved to be much safer routes.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NyxWzL5cT
However, amongst all this growth, the seeds of fear and paranoia, of distrust for317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDpRHYU8SH
the other races were also growing just as much, if not more so, than the seeds of joy317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy4Gx5lGS2
and illumination. All it took was the sheer thought of what any other race could317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0k3lqNswV
be after and what would they do if they obtained it, for all to succumb to despair.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeuXzGVsWM
The newfound freedom and safety the world had been blessed with were thus not317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayDGnlVWj6
meant to last.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXPktnWoD4
Turn on each other, they did. The more advanced, the further ahead in this arms race317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM301GnsEpt
a civilisation was, the bigger the shadow they would cast upon the rest. The race began317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqAlI9OGxO
in this manner, propelled by fear and thirst for power with the two biggest offenders317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmIB0y60D6
being the Kingdom of Man and the Nharkim.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLrP4jNkfK
These two, somehow, quickly distanced themselves from all and for many years they317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfkbIgrvb2
were almost on equal footing. Then something happened. The Nharkim took the lead317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnsgBLuyVv
and ever since then, they were ahead of any other. For many years these two empires317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwAfbJc4P0
waged war on each other until finally the Nharkim suddenly decided to leave the317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiH8nWVpCJ
continent they all shared and settle themselves on a large archipelago to the East.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9i9L51VyR
They left without any announcement and have not been seen since. Not quite...317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV7iIYxWA8
Naturally, it was the Humans who inherited the large landmass quickly renaming317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGhmB5luhL
it “The Celitian Continent” after their own capital “Celitia City”. Years passed and317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZREfb5hMGW
most of the other races that shared the continent began to scatter as the Human317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTC1Xqkzlk
Empire kept on pushing them till there was no more land for them to run to.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitU0ND4JPD
Humans expanded and everything else diminished. Generation after generation,317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWebw9CVF8k
the more humans were spreading the more and more could other races be seen in their317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDBSnA4mQl
cities, free to live as they deemed fit. They still had their very own towns here or there,317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp03KQVoE09
but these were growing scarce and so, for the most part, every other race could be seen317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFwdAjSdWg
much like today in any number of Human settlements. Earning an honest day’s work317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWqRgDP3Wl
or drinking their lives away much like Humans love to do, for they have always shared317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn334P2Pszt
equal rights.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRJOmbsOdw
Still, for all this, many dislike the race of Man for “absorbing” everyone into their317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GtAMo9LNc
kingdom, slowly making other traditions and values disappear. So sometimes it is317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z8Jb9gKhE
dangerous for Humans to come across other, more “hateful” races.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO36m0Z4lx
Nowadays occasionally, one comes across a nonhuman town that is exclusive to317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6GmdGOO9K
their own kin. Not in the main continent at least, where the Humans have long taken317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsuWlLkNgY
over and their laws are enforced pretty much everywhere. Equal rights for the price of317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv6aDnNxwj
equal duties. Of course, on other more uncharted and undesirable masses of land, who317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCClDv2eI2
knows who or what makes their kingdom there. Despite all, nothing has changed, and317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcKCiQpjED
no hunger has been lost as most races still fear one another. Most still compete with317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C3c9iGOim
one another, fiercely as each one seeks that Centra gift that might just give them the317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj48vYL3B9
edge.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbttN9UfNp
From the greater empires to the smaller tribes living underground or in swamps, all317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLg6bUDNHr
around the world, across any landmass where there is smart enough life, someone is317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lMU3PKfor
pursuing those Centra secrets. To sell to the highest bidder or for the glory of their317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17DBZuFtex
own race, the search is never-ending. It has been like this since this Era started and it317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRry5jZbvzS
is this way even now.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2jDnb8qym
And such unravel of this world’s decline shows no signs of slowing down, as317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXHqwthHal
especially the Humans, keep on wanting. They alone hold the majority of all the greed317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOcf7U3jwh
and all the fear that infests the world in these dark times, as they keep pushing fiercely317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02vr2JogEV
for the monopoly of all the Centra market. The acquisition of all Centra findings317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UvIB2Rzr7
for which the Human king is willing to do anything for, either paying for them317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uvj0IGdPh
handsomely or by taking them by any other means if need be.
