And this craving for more of it would reshape the world yet a second time.413Please respect copyright.PENANAb23bQmdM3t
The Centra technology would make the world a smaller place, as through it the413Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ny1VRLCy4
tribes not only began negotiating among themselves, thus giving birth to the one413Please respect copyright.PENANA0bIlIH70Na
tongue, but they would also learn to build great many things. The skills of bow and413Please respect copyright.PENANAhuNoUCPbIj
spear were replaced with much better weaponry, villages became cities, and much of413Please respect copyright.PENANAEOa3IlAJLA
the animal power was replaced with machinery. Small boats, in time, became ships and413Please respect copyright.PENANA8eAOMp8CRV
later these too, would be for the most part dropped as soon as the first airship took to413Please respect copyright.PENANAr9JcnGaAQI
flight, and the skies proved to be much safer routes.413Please respect copyright.PENANAY9rn8bjpL4
However, amongst all this growth, the seeds of fear and paranoia, of distrust for413Please respect copyright.PENANATv52Ekrz5w
the other races were also growing just as much, if not more so, than the seeds of joy413Please respect copyright.PENANAuz14H6Jkv2
and illumination. All it took was the sheer thought of what any other race could413Please respect copyright.PENANAEDCrwwZ91V
be after and what would they do if they obtained it, for all to succumb to despair.413Please respect copyright.PENANAyy6zz9lwKF
The newfound freedom and safety the world had been blessed with were thus not413Please respect copyright.PENANAj36Kdul99n
meant to last.413Please respect copyright.PENANAitDCpOqxD0
Turn on each other, they did. The more advanced, the further ahead in this arms race413Please respect copyright.PENANAF0UzOz9P1q
a civilisation was, the bigger the shadow they would cast upon the rest. The race began413Please respect copyright.PENANAo0OQXHOLe0
in this manner, propelled by fear and thirst for power with the two biggest offenders413Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8DV2Jbrq8
being the Kingdom of Man and the Nharkim.413Please respect copyright.PENANAao62w4tR29
These two, somehow, quickly distanced themselves from all and for many years they413Please respect copyright.PENANAqklRNcWhvy
were almost on equal footing. Then something happened. The Nharkim took the lead413Please respect copyright.PENANAw0duewdOSG
and ever since then, they were ahead of any other. For many years these two empires413Please respect copyright.PENANA4nezGzNJzI
waged war on each other until finally the Nharkim suddenly decided to leave the413Please respect copyright.PENANAaqQxCx8fqS
continent they all shared and settle themselves on a large archipelago to the East.413Please respect copyright.PENANAOEZHQB1sAq
They left without any announcement and have not been seen since. Not quite...413Please respect copyright.PENANAu24LTNhOgX
Naturally, it was the Humans who inherited the large landmass quickly renaming413Please respect copyright.PENANALJGJaSHWPm
it “The Celitian Continent” after their own capital “Celitia City”. Years passed and413Please respect copyright.PENANALtzr3NSSIh
most of the other races that shared the continent began to scatter as the Human413Please respect copyright.PENANAcZo1SNib4M
Empire kept on pushing them till there was no more land for them to run to.413Please respect copyright.PENANAQUTHBtD7aF
Humans expanded and everything else diminished. Generation after generation,413Please respect copyright.PENANAxTBxgdCJa3
the more humans were spreading the more and more could other races be seen in their413Please respect copyright.PENANAIRUbsrgmjD
cities, free to live as they deemed fit. They still had their very own towns here or there,413Please respect copyright.PENANA2deVxEql9S
but these were growing scarce and so, for the most part, every other race could be seen413Please respect copyright.PENANAEj0VkvYRfI
much like today in any number of Human settlements. Earning an honest day’s work413Please respect copyright.PENANAScDJNTRVq1
or drinking their lives away much like Humans love to do, for they have always shared413Please respect copyright.PENANADYpFUKemk6
equal rights.413Please respect copyright.PENANAzcso4ApAeT
Still, for all this, many dislike the race of Man for “absorbing” everyone into their413Please respect copyright.PENANAprV10gnvCQ
kingdom, slowly making other traditions and values disappear. So sometimes it is413Please respect copyright.PENANAJRSP8lT4k3
dangerous for Humans to come across other, more “hateful” races.413Please respect copyright.PENANANy36cFur2q
Nowadays occasionally, one comes across a nonhuman town that is exclusive to413Please respect copyright.PENANAEG5vvIGTml
their own kin. Not in the main continent at least, where the Humans have long taken413Please respect copyright.PENANAIpedDMmJUS
over and their laws are enforced pretty much everywhere. Equal rights for the price of413Please respect copyright.PENANA4F7mTo2EDj
equal duties. Of course, on other more uncharted and undesirable masses of land, who413Please respect copyright.PENANA2P0g8pqs5M
knows who or what makes their kingdom there. Despite all, nothing has changed, and413Please respect copyright.PENANAkxV7RRkM5a
no hunger has been lost as most races still fear one another. Most still compete with413Please respect copyright.PENANArASkAlIGoZ
one another, fiercely as each one seeks that Centra gift that might just give them the413Please respect copyright.PENANAINPQxaWCj4
edge.413Please respect copyright.PENANAhjM6sw0wKs
From the greater empires to the smaller tribes living underground or in swamps, all413Please respect copyright.PENANAPpTTIwP1wF
around the world, across any landmass where there is smart enough life, someone is413Please respect copyright.PENANAwitBrFAKSA
pursuing those Centra secrets. To sell to the highest bidder or for the glory of their413Please respect copyright.PENANAnrwz8eWHkz
own race, the search is never-ending. It has been like this since this Era started and it413Please respect copyright.PENANANjQyN5Vbs6
is this way even now.413Please respect copyright.PENANAhvWHVPTqCJ
And such unravel of this world’s decline shows no signs of slowing down, as413Please respect copyright.PENANA50VsOzHMFO
especially the Humans, keep on wanting. They alone hold the majority of all the greed413Please respect copyright.PENANAK1u4cB1e9l
and all the fear that infests the world in these dark times, as they keep pushing fiercely413Please respect copyright.PENANATh7JS8xoYX
for the monopoly of all the Centra market. The acquisition of all Centra findings413Please respect copyright.PENANAZGP4sPhTOY
for which the Human king is willing to do anything for, either paying for them413Please respect copyright.PENANA6mKouag0wn
handsomely or by taking them by any other means if need be.
