And this craving for more of it would reshape the world yet a second time.131Please respect copyright.PENANA9snXv4EkW2
The Centra technology would make the world a smaller place, as through it the131Please respect copyright.PENANA0MoMNjTb9p
tribes not only began negotiating among themselves, thus giving birth to the one131Please respect copyright.PENANAopHTujKga5
tongue, but they would also learn to build great many things. The skills of bow and131Please respect copyright.PENANADyITORpCKW
spear were replaced with much better weaponry, villages became cities, and much of131Please respect copyright.PENANAspISfNiSMf
the animal power was replaced with machinery. Small boats, in time, became ships and131Please respect copyright.PENANAmEjbUbaACv
later these too, would be for the most part dropped as soon as the first airship took to131Please respect copyright.PENANADKXEvTKm1G
flight, and the skies proved to be much safer routes.131Please respect copyright.PENANAWprPUEILeF
However, amongst all this growth, the seeds of fear and paranoia, of distrust for131Please respect copyright.PENANANcTEVRmXPF
the other races were also growing just as much, if not more so, than the seeds of joy131Please respect copyright.PENANAJsixo3ZJDO
and illumination. All it took was the sheer thought of what any other race could131Please respect copyright.PENANA1j9HqECs6z
be after and what would they do if they obtained it, for all to succumb to despair.131Please respect copyright.PENANARiakbHYKN4
The newfound freedom and safety the world had been blessed with were thus not131Please respect copyright.PENANAojj0P0D5Cj
meant to last.131Please respect copyright.PENANAFXUEH5RP0j
Turn on each other, they did. The more advanced, the further ahead in this arms race131Please respect copyright.PENANAoBGOwykraN
a civilisation was, the bigger the shadow they would cast upon the rest. The race began131Please respect copyright.PENANA3OPnpMk1de
in this manner, propelled by fear and thirst for power with the two biggest offenders131Please respect copyright.PENANAD0RtuJol1M
being the Kingdom of Man and the Nharkim.131Please respect copyright.PENANAwpFIdyFghw
These two, somehow, quickly distanced themselves from all and for many years they131Please respect copyright.PENANAGbkLeZ1ClX
were almost on equal footing. Then something happened. The Nharkim took the lead131Please respect copyright.PENANAHD6JnQ2SQH
and ever since then, they were ahead of any other. For many years these two empires131Please respect copyright.PENANAgnXws5H92U
waged war on each other until finally the Nharkim suddenly decided to leave the131Please respect copyright.PENANAiHTCOPtLy0
continent they all shared and settle themselves on a large archipelago to the East.131Please respect copyright.PENANAOkwqaLOziO
They left without any announcement and have not been seen since. Not quite...131Please respect copyright.PENANAjtYgyp6mgB
Naturally, it was the Humans who inherited the large landmass quickly renaming131Please respect copyright.PENANAJSHUQiPR7t
it “The Celitian Continent” after their own capital “Celitia City”. Years passed and131Please respect copyright.PENANAMsyNGBfDF2
most of the other races that shared the continent began to scatter as the Human131Please respect copyright.PENANAE8guiBUAT9
Empire kept on pushing them till there was no more land for them to run to.131Please respect copyright.PENANAfVDFfP1h60
Humans expanded and everything else diminished. Generation after generation,131Please respect copyright.PENANAgJCfjeLGq2
the more humans were spreading the more and more could other races be seen in their131Please respect copyright.PENANALjnJyybaTP
cities, free to live as they deemed fit. They still had their very own towns here or there,131Please respect copyright.PENANAEWBzLqVLwe
but these were growing scarce and so, for the most part, every other race could be seen131Please respect copyright.PENANAGsoKm4VNAO
much like today in any number of Human settlements. Earning an honest day’s work131Please respect copyright.PENANACzSnSvFaXK
or drinking their lives away much like Humans love to do, for they have always shared131Please respect copyright.PENANAjnw61e1Fk0
equal rights.131Please respect copyright.PENANAFRVJWSWc3P
Still, for all this, many dislike the race of Man for “absorbing” everyone into their131Please respect copyright.PENANAJXmLmAoU28
kingdom, slowly making other traditions and values disappear. So sometimes it is131Please respect copyright.PENANAXpwENHBFQB
dangerous for Humans to come across other, more “hateful” races.131Please respect copyright.PENANA1MBgekaqpY
Nowadays occasionally, one comes across a nonhuman town that is exclusive to131Please respect copyright.PENANAX91x6n3J5K
their own kin. Not in the main continent at least, where the Humans have long taken131Please respect copyright.PENANAgrrMN03ijA
over and their laws are enforced pretty much everywhere. Equal rights for the price of131Please respect copyright.PENANACGJbXeGlGE
equal duties. Of course, on other more uncharted and undesirable masses of land, who131Please respect copyright.PENANABa9Tt5Um1A
knows who or what makes their kingdom there. Despite all, nothing has changed, and131Please respect copyright.PENANAJG28Xu6oS8
no hunger has been lost as most races still fear one another. Most still compete with131Please respect copyright.PENANAQWony7NN3G
one another, fiercely as each one seeks that Centra gift that might just give them the131Please respect copyright.PENANAUNDY7OcTtM
edge.131Please respect copyright.PENANACM2Mg1iYbK
From the greater empires to the smaller tribes living underground or in swamps, all131Please respect copyright.PENANAav6w4L0By1
around the world, across any landmass where there is smart enough life, someone is131Please respect copyright.PENANAGyNfYz1AFN
pursuing those Centra secrets. To sell to the highest bidder or for the glory of their131Please respect copyright.PENANAPVP9h4y6zG
own race, the search is never-ending. It has been like this since this Era started and it131Please respect copyright.PENANAuWpLPpxyv6
is this way even now.131Please respect copyright.PENANAt4xWcasFnK
And such unravel of this world’s decline shows no signs of slowing down, as131Please respect copyright.PENANA2oyndtuSGS
especially the Humans, keep on wanting. They alone hold the majority of all the greed131Please respect copyright.PENANAyEWNZIC0bL
and all the fear that infests the world in these dark times, as they keep pushing fiercely131Please respect copyright.PENANASA9LGQQOud
for the monopoly of all the Centra market. The acquisition of all Centra findings131Please respect copyright.PENANAQygOx6k3bM
for which the Human king is willing to do anything for, either paying for them131Please respect copyright.PENANAn91HRa7ntx
handsomely or by taking them by any other means if need be.
