<!-- veteran backstory - bitter about riots -->
<string
id="prebackstory.spc_wanderer_sturgia_3"
text="{=gysOh3M5}Aye - you've heard about the death of the last Emperor?" />
<string
id="backstory_a.spc_wanderer_sturgia_3"
text="{=DFW5i63X}I'll tell you - what most people believe is a pack of lies. I was in the Vaegir guard in the time of Arenicos. We took our discipline seriously; we were proud of it. Then the riots happened. What I saw in {IMPERIALCAPITAL}.. Even now it makes me feel ashamed." />
<string
id="backstory_b.spc_wanderer_sturgia_3"
text="{=mGTuBDtF}It wasn't easy for the men. They felt the city turn against them, blame them for killing the emperor. Whereas we were sure that we were innocent of his blood, that there was some sort of trick. But even so, there was no excuse." />
<string
id="backstory_c.spc_wanderer_sturgia_3"
text="{=SwwXXPNe}We could have marched out in battle array. No one would have stood against us. If we couldn't restore order, at least we could have gone home with honor. But instead, we turned our anger against the city. My comrades looted, set fires, even murdered those who we were supposed to protect. It was a disgrace." />
<string
id="response_1.spc_wanderer_sturgia_3"
text="{=HiJTqUPJ}I have heard about the riots in {IMPERIALCAPITAL}. It was an ugly thing all round." />
<string
id="response_2.spc_wanderer_sturgia_3"
text="{=JHduQdEb}The Guard didn't kill the Emperor? Funny, that's not what the witnesses said." />
<string
id="backstory_d.spc_wanderer_sturgia_3"
text="{=ZoxPPYLX}I thought of going home. But I lost what denars I had saved during the riots. If there is a warband looking for good men, I would like to earn it back." />
<string
id="generic_backstory.spc_wanderer_sturgia_3"
text="{=7tCl75xJ}I was part of the old Emperor Arenicos's Vaegir Guard. But the people turned on us after his death, and attacked us. Maybe you've heard the story before. There's a whole lot of us, spat out into the world by the ungrateful Calradians." />
