This one, the second Era of this world... the aptly called Age of Pursuit...409Please respect copyright.PENANAF015aFWyim
The Centra were gone but the world would continue, still bound to their will but409Please respect copyright.PENANALTAMKvSVX9
now without their guiding hand. Instead, it would be all that they had left behind that409Please respect copyright.PENANABLpNYzL09B
would now set a new curse for the world after them. Once the Centra had claimed this409Please respect copyright.PENANAluqW1JuXaY
world to themselves, thanks to their mastery of all sciences, magics and technology409Please respect copyright.PENANAeYEEPrE9Tf
that provided them with the unparalleled (hateful profanities to some and cause for409Please respect copyright.PENANAs1NvMc9wM9
divine worship to others) that ran rampant across the entire planet to this very day.409Please respect copyright.PENANA5Et7kYKCwa
All that they built and accomplished, all that defined their very existence; an entire409Please respect copyright.PENANAhQZqmhkjM2
empire spanning across all continents, all seas and the one sky, was left behind for409Please respect copyright.PENANAIW1xkBhtXS
those that would eventually follow.409Please respect copyright.PENANAswRx40dDCx
Who would dare guess how long it came to pass since the world woke up one day in409Please respect copyright.PENANAccTKbNLl3n
complete silence, the sound of their rulership absent, before life would finally resume409Please respect copyright.PENANAYln7y6SSXm
its course? With no more thunderous machines or hovering cities, and with no more409Please respect copyright.PENANAn152gOtBKH
Centra to command it all, an entire world was now free. How long for the first races409Please respect copyright.PENANA0jJyJrz7B3
to sprout forth and begin their own curse, and does any of it matter?409Please respect copyright.PENANAE4sqmbeJge
Eventually, of course, they did. And little by little they grew. At first, little more409Please respect copyright.PENANAdWJnDy3Xol
than animals scrapping for food but in time they would master several forms of409Please respect copyright.PENANAoTWh0QRagk
hunting and fishing, and from there they would evolve to the races of our current time.409Please respect copyright.PENANAtFG7tZznM4
Slowly but surely, that was how the current races of this world came about. Humans409Please respect copyright.PENANAjRPh328U3y
and those that would later call themselves the Nharkim as well as countless others;409Please respect copyright.PENANAC2vYVS8PHU
Twinkledinnes, Sandrackar, Maruic, Dreibos and many more. And for an exceedingly409Please respect copyright.PENANA3gzFzHC6I3
long time, they were just that, tribes of fishermen and hunters struggling to find shelter409Please respect copyright.PENANA5vnzXbfFKp
from the heavy rains. Nothing more than primitive and superstitious creatures, each409Please respect copyright.PENANAcp6ZgGfolP
with their customs and fears for the world may have been silent, the Centra absent,409Please respect copyright.PENANAYfN1z8CFEO
but fear still roamed the lands and kept all living things in check, regardless of beliefs.409Please respect copyright.PENANA3gX3nBbOqx
And would continue to do so for aeons. I would claim it still does so, even today, if409Please respect copyright.PENANAW3wvsIYS2F
only for the less privileged.409Please respect copyright.PENANAIDQM5KD7CF
Our current Era really began, as always, with an apparent meaningless action of409Please respect copyright.PENANAKUObtu3LXN
not much importance, but enough to start the largest of all chain of events. That small409Please respect copyright.PENANAn1FqjmiKrm
gesture that opened the way for what would define our world to this very day; the Era409Please respect copyright.PENANAsu3NHAq5aJ
of Pursuit began, the moment a member of the small and meek tribe of Twinkledinnes,409Please respect copyright.PENANArWp741gjRO
one of the tiniest races one could ever hope to meet, decided to venture forth into one409Please respect copyright.PENANAATjxxwQdMw
of the forbidden zones. Any area where Centra remnants were known to exist were409Please respect copyright.PENANAoMDH2sIVgM
best avoided - a taboo.409Please respect copyright.PENANAzFSGzVeHy0
What was the motive that drove such a small creature?409Please respect copyright.PENANAxoPoZ0ci8Y
That is now lost to us, dissolved in the ebb and flow of time but the result of such an409Please respect copyright.PENANAt5nXqtIj3O
action defines all things today. Into one of the Centra ruins that Twinkledinne went409Please respect copyright.PENANAVZEdsE8F7c
and when he came out, he did so with something in his hands. That very moment,409Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ6VJuS4Dj
where this small creature showed there was not only nothing to fear from those areas409Please respect copyright.PENANAg1WcEmM5iM
but there were also rewards to be picked up, that was when this Era truly began.409Please respect copyright.PENANAS4SjzCiXeG
Word began to spread, and the veil of fear and superstition was lifted. All tribes,409Please respect copyright.PENANA7uMiKJ4L1t
in time, came to learn that there was nothing to fear from venturing into Centra409Please respect copyright.PENANAT0c2V1wlOo
territories. No longer were these Centra remnants cursed places, to be feared and409Please respect copyright.PENANAzmP0K55yKI
avoided for either religious reasons imposed by most tribes or the mere common sense409Please respect copyright.PENANAL4a9D4UgS3
of the passing traveller. No. Now anything Centra was a place to be actively sought out409Please respect copyright.PENANAmlBq8ZoNFw
and where fortune could be found. One by one every tribe of every race got into this,409Please respect copyright.PENANA6DSk4rhynG
offering handsome rewards to anyone presenting them with anything made by Centra,409Please respect copyright.PENANAMR7VxONytu
even to those outside their own race.409Please respect copyright.PENANABlr9oW1lxN
And so, greed was ironically enough, the will that broke any previous isolation and409Please respect copyright.PENANABTjMXuquyq
made most embrace outside relations. But what brought all the races together would409Please respect copyright.PENANAnrcOrwlLlb
also tear them apart. At first, most things were bought and sold as decorum, but as409Please respect copyright.PENANA0q2tzY9MSc
time went on and the races kept evolving and learning from these finds, their value and409Please respect copyright.PENANAKHSZ9htaSS
their importance kept increasing.409Please respect copyright.PENANAx1aDV9f0hS
From the study and learning of these Centra finds, most races began evolving,409Please respect copyright.PENANADlmbVqgvPY
building, finding cures for the sick and easier ways to withstand the cold storms.409Please respect copyright.PENANAnAY1WpRZ4B
It became obvious to all that this was their future, that the finding of more and more409Please respect copyright.PENANAzx49J6Tj3q
Centra technology, or anything concerning it, was their new path.
