And this craving for more of it would reshape the world yet a second time.411Please respect copyright.PENANAG4ft47H4jw
The Centra technology would make the world a smaller place, as through it the411Please respect copyright.PENANAhBWnY2kn3r
tribes not only began negotiating among themselves, thus giving birth to the one411Please respect copyright.PENANAyONyMkKV1C
tongue, but they would also learn to build great many things. The skills of bow and411Please respect copyright.PENANAiJqT97uOuE
spear were replaced with much better weaponry, villages became cities, and much of411Please respect copyright.PENANAZJM8CxJstM
the animal power was replaced with machinery. Small boats, in time, became ships and411Please respect copyright.PENANAH5EFn9ofeo
later these too, would be for the most part dropped as soon as the first airship took to411Please respect copyright.PENANAVXbVaAPzJp
flight, and the skies proved to be much safer routes.411Please respect copyright.PENANAa7NTkP0SKi
However, amongst all this growth, the seeds of fear and paranoia, of distrust for411Please respect copyright.PENANAF0XHsJgNBz
the other races were also growing just as much, if not more so, than the seeds of joy411Please respect copyright.PENANA5zw466TZv9
and illumination. All it took was the sheer thought of what any other race could411Please respect copyright.PENANAUuBi6okBvO
be after and what would they do if they obtained it, for all to succumb to despair.411Please respect copyright.PENANAZxpXGdIKjP
The newfound freedom and safety the world had been blessed with were thus not411Please respect copyright.PENANAPJQ8xdL149
meant to last.411Please respect copyright.PENANAU06XIQwt4q
Turn on each other, they did. The more advanced, the further ahead in this arms race411Please respect copyright.PENANAWW4NOC0Klw
a civilisation was, the bigger the shadow they would cast upon the rest. The race began411Please respect copyright.PENANAHL6sj9gvro
in this manner, propelled by fear and thirst for power with the two biggest offenders411Please respect copyright.PENANAXLbLrMOCxj
being the Kingdom of Man and the Nharkim.411Please respect copyright.PENANAUMdyaLIeVo
These two, somehow, quickly distanced themselves from all and for many years they411Please respect copyright.PENANAUWIeyg3vVP
were almost on equal footing. Then something happened. The Nharkim took the lead411Please respect copyright.PENANA3CbPdX57Ov
and ever since then, they were ahead of any other. For many years these two empires411Please respect copyright.PENANAS9Tx0iTAiC
waged war on each other until finally the Nharkim suddenly decided to leave the411Please respect copyright.PENANAK8Wxtsh5jD
continent they all shared and settle themselves on a large archipelago to the East.411Please respect copyright.PENANApNzQ6sVIqM
They left without any announcement and have not been seen since. Not quite...411Please respect copyright.PENANAFiw3k58SX0
Naturally, it was the Humans who inherited the large landmass quickly renaming411Please respect copyright.PENANAx8MpIhi0OG
it “The Celitian Continent” after their own capital “Celitia City”. Years passed and411Please respect copyright.PENANAmtSnx37hCf
most of the other races that shared the continent began to scatter as the Human411Please respect copyright.PENANAR57ceREu8y
Empire kept on pushing them till there was no more land for them to run to.411Please respect copyright.PENANA1hcn06TnC3
Humans expanded and everything else diminished. Generation after generation,411Please respect copyright.PENANAlHanCUecEO
the more humans were spreading the more and more could other races be seen in their411Please respect copyright.PENANAJoDkrwiebx
cities, free to live as they deemed fit. They still had their very own towns here or there,411Please respect copyright.PENANA5OpNYJCZVX
but these were growing scarce and so, for the most part, every other race could be seen411Please respect copyright.PENANAakyf9XNAG4
much like today in any number of Human settlements. Earning an honest day’s work411Please respect copyright.PENANA63rPaCdLbt
or drinking their lives away much like Humans love to do, for they have always shared411Please respect copyright.PENANAOa6aKlXkik
equal rights.411Please respect copyright.PENANA5CSBgaFNi4
Still, for all this, many dislike the race of Man for “absorbing” everyone into their411Please respect copyright.PENANAaNMkKuwiab
kingdom, slowly making other traditions and values disappear. So sometimes it is411Please respect copyright.PENANAo1xuGXPwzl
dangerous for Humans to come across other, more “hateful” races.411Please respect copyright.PENANAVWODK3AtYp
Nowadays occasionally, one comes across a nonhuman town that is exclusive to411Please respect copyright.PENANAcoKDvZobY3
their own kin. Not in the main continent at least, where the Humans have long taken411Please respect copyright.PENANA82NWB0cIdw
over and their laws are enforced pretty much everywhere. Equal rights for the price of411Please respect copyright.PENANAIpnNetIp6I
equal duties. Of course, on other more uncharted and undesirable masses of land, who411Please respect copyright.PENANAlav8XGDiJI
knows who or what makes their kingdom there. Despite all, nothing has changed, and411Please respect copyright.PENANAnE3iWylmF2
no hunger has been lost as most races still fear one another. Most still compete with411Please respect copyright.PENANALAmcM2jqNM
one another, fiercely as each one seeks that Centra gift that might just give them the411Please respect copyright.PENANAjtvEkkOhLF
edge.411Please respect copyright.PENANAdOK2EGPb0D
From the greater empires to the smaller tribes living underground or in swamps, all411Please respect copyright.PENANAaTtDA98gJV
around the world, across any landmass where there is smart enough life, someone is411Please respect copyright.PENANAIubHCzeGDw
pursuing those Centra secrets. To sell to the highest bidder or for the glory of their411Please respect copyright.PENANAEu3vJBgdS2
own race, the search is never-ending. It has been like this since this Era started and it411Please respect copyright.PENANAy3JQdS60Qe
is this way even now.411Please respect copyright.PENANAi2eUqp1ydm
And such unravel of this world’s decline shows no signs of slowing down, as411Please respect copyright.PENANAPsbsFoJ5yf
especially the Humans, keep on wanting. They alone hold the majority of all the greed411Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ah0HwNEF8
and all the fear that infests the world in these dark times, as they keep pushing fiercely411Please respect copyright.PENANAYwhzFojWE3
for the monopoly of all the Centra market. The acquisition of all Centra findings411Please respect copyright.PENANADGG5bnNlGy
for which the Human king is willing to do anything for, either paying for them411Please respect copyright.PENANA6BKeu0AlTK
handsomely or by taking them by any other means if need be.
