text="{=l01koCnM}My story? This is my tale in a nutshell - men's greed for cattle cost me my home and my kin." />
<string
id="backstory_a.spc_wanderer_battania_9"
text="{=DZTOovh6}My uncle - he had a great herd of cows, and in the Battanian upcountry that is only kind of wealth we value. But they were taken by his chief herdsman, a man we trusted. So we took up spears to get them back, but my uncle was now poor, but the thief had many kinsmen. Having nothing else to lose, my uncle ordered that even the women of our family take up spears and ride out to fight, and so we did." />
<string
id="backstory_b.spc_wanderer_battania_9"
text="{=RBwhiMkD}We came down on the thief's village one day at dawn. They were too many, and we were beaten. My brothers and most of my kin were all slain. I had nowhere to go." />
<string
id="backstory_c.spc_wanderer_battania_9"
text="{=ECaJe7d8}But I had killed three men with a spear that day, and found I had a taste for it. And I learned that thieves grow rich, while honest men die. So I lived in the hills, and took the cows of families more fortunate then my own. But I sold the cows I took, and kept the denars close to my chest." />

<string
id="backstory_d.spc_wanderer_battania_9"
text="{=fkbaYOGt}But I don't intend to live this way forever. There are a thousand paths to turning outlaw, you see, but they mostly come to a single end. So I'm here, in the town, looking for other work." />
<string
id="generic_backstory.spc_wanderer_battania_9"
text="{=0ttlPDSr}My family was in a feud. Over stolen cattle, as is often the case in the upcountry. Well, the family we fought turned out to be rather stronger than us, and most of us were killed. The rest were scattered. I lived for a while as a thief, stealing to eat, but that is a bitter path, and now I am looking for something better." />
