And this craving for more of it would reshape the world yet a second time.407Please respect copyright.PENANAfifPvOalYU
The Centra technology would make the world a smaller place, as through it the407Please respect copyright.PENANAZbkErRafMF
tribes not only began negotiating among themselves, thus giving birth to the one407Please respect copyright.PENANALTydu0MGNO
tongue, but they would also learn to build great many things. The skills of bow and407Please respect copyright.PENANAhwINsoZ2ke
spear were replaced with much better weaponry, villages became cities, and much of407Please respect copyright.PENANAkepuGEjk5V
the animal power was replaced with machinery. Small boats, in time, became ships and407Please respect copyright.PENANASyq1eKwD4Q
later these too, would be for the most part dropped as soon as the first airship took to407Please respect copyright.PENANAawevzhOiqf
flight, and the skies proved to be much safer routes.407Please respect copyright.PENANAZt69iNzG2B
However, amongst all this growth, the seeds of fear and paranoia, of distrust for407Please respect copyright.PENANA0Twcm1mRMJ
the other races were also growing just as much, if not more so, than the seeds of joy407Please respect copyright.PENANA47bp9On7oW
and illumination. All it took was the sheer thought of what any other race could407Please respect copyright.PENANAn6oK2Ae0nt
be after and what would they do if they obtained it, for all to succumb to despair.407Please respect copyright.PENANAjD90lMdxZV
The newfound freedom and safety the world had been blessed with were thus not407Please respect copyright.PENANAEyVrbqrEyz
meant to last.407Please respect copyright.PENANAeV6WTgnpQ8
Turn on each other, they did. The more advanced, the further ahead in this arms race407Please respect copyright.PENANAXfLRcE1dQd
a civilisation was, the bigger the shadow they would cast upon the rest. The race began407Please respect copyright.PENANAnDBkxGfJ3R
in this manner, propelled by fear and thirst for power with the two biggest offenders407Please respect copyright.PENANAqSlP6gbyCl
being the Kingdom of Man and the Nharkim.407Please respect copyright.PENANA045W45cJZC
These two, somehow, quickly distanced themselves from all and for many years they407Please respect copyright.PENANAc3g3tsFNM9
were almost on equal footing. Then something happened. The Nharkim took the lead407Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vy7IHgWNL
and ever since then, they were ahead of any other. For many years these two empires407Please respect copyright.PENANA8QHPPjYxnN
waged war on each other until finally the Nharkim suddenly decided to leave the407Please respect copyright.PENANAyOBybG6tMH
continent they all shared and settle themselves on a large archipelago to the East.407Please respect copyright.PENANAI9diswGmg6
They left without any announcement and have not been seen since. Not quite...407Please respect copyright.PENANALAuvMuKd0L
Naturally, it was the Humans who inherited the large landmass quickly renaming407Please respect copyright.PENANAtb6lQmdaCH
it “The Celitian Continent” after their own capital “Celitia City”. Years passed and407Please respect copyright.PENANAD7ftXGXYH5
most of the other races that shared the continent began to scatter as the Human407Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ9DDdxdY0
Empire kept on pushing them till there was no more land for them to run to.407Please respect copyright.PENANAxV7CTbrsz5
Humans expanded and everything else diminished. Generation after generation,407Please respect copyright.PENANAXxBQ628Skf
the more humans were spreading the more and more could other races be seen in their407Please respect copyright.PENANAwK8hXuZ31c
cities, free to live as they deemed fit. They still had their very own towns here or there,407Please respect copyright.PENANAj5tsea14Zb
but these were growing scarce and so, for the most part, every other race could be seen407Please respect copyright.PENANAvOHC6CkY25
much like today in any number of Human settlements. Earning an honest day’s work407Please respect copyright.PENANAOakrjqbtBg
or drinking their lives away much like Humans love to do, for they have always shared407Please respect copyright.PENANArsLvbZzP9n
equal rights.407Please respect copyright.PENANAEvEizIwuT0
Still, for all this, many dislike the race of Man for “absorbing” everyone into their407Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0SzEWP6cl
kingdom, slowly making other traditions and values disappear. So sometimes it is407Please respect copyright.PENANA6JA0ouhxcM
dangerous for Humans to come across other, more “hateful” races.407Please respect copyright.PENANA68jmZJyDIt
Nowadays occasionally, one comes across a nonhuman town that is exclusive to407Please respect copyright.PENANANpDvq4dWjR
their own kin. Not in the main continent at least, where the Humans have long taken407Please respect copyright.PENANAuSoY5wGYB0
over and their laws are enforced pretty much everywhere. Equal rights for the price of407Please respect copyright.PENANAkNJqX4PRDB
equal duties. Of course, on other more uncharted and undesirable masses of land, who407Please respect copyright.PENANA7IEzObre7M
knows who or what makes their kingdom there. Despite all, nothing has changed, and407Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6wQlZOnXZ
no hunger has been lost as most races still fear one another. Most still compete with407Please respect copyright.PENANAIrRUtTYKSM
one another, fiercely as each one seeks that Centra gift that might just give them the407Please respect copyright.PENANAG6aXkYOwXA
edge.407Please respect copyright.PENANAyHwLiDxZCl
From the greater empires to the smaller tribes living underground or in swamps, all407Please respect copyright.PENANA4PFkgs3QcF
around the world, across any landmass where there is smart enough life, someone is407Please respect copyright.PENANAs1TPUvlUMY
pursuing those Centra secrets. To sell to the highest bidder or for the glory of their407Please respect copyright.PENANA3cvkd6tHtz
own race, the search is never-ending. It has been like this since this Era started and it407Please respect copyright.PENANASaDb22YRv0
is this way even now.407Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3gmkqAvyl
And such unravel of this world’s decline shows no signs of slowing down, as407Please respect copyright.PENANAdIYPRESdMv
especially the Humans, keep on wanting. They alone hold the majority of all the greed407Please respect copyright.PENANAdzIGrtv3t5
and all the fear that infests the world in these dark times, as they keep pushing fiercely407Please respect copyright.PENANAEd30Gbx3wY
for the monopoly of all the Centra market. The acquisition of all Centra findings407Please respect copyright.PENANAVOlifLOEUW
for which the Human king is willing to do anything for, either paying for them407Please respect copyright.PENANA0qXtL1hFBO
handsomely or by taking them by any other means if need be.
