<string
id="prebackstory.spc_wanderer_empire_3"
text="{=B3UQTCRE}Refill my glass and I'll tell you." />
<string
id="backstory_a.spc_wanderer_empire_3"
text="{=H7tFXLVN}I'm a soldier by trade. I've served in the empire's legions for 20 years. Once upon a time they were worthy of being called 'legions.' We served together for years, and we'd die rather than see our standards falter or fall." />
<string
id="backstory_b.spc_wanderer_empire_3"
text="{=DzyAgYIX}But Drosios Neretzes led the pick of the legions into an ambush in the Battanian woods. You may have heard that story. I was laid up sick at the time. But a lot of my comrades didn't come back, and things were never the same afterward." />
<string
id="backstory_c.spc_wanderer_empire_3"
text="{=6OF0vjQV}After Arenicos's so-called reforms, they try to maintain an army on the cheap, letting the rich run the show out of their own pocket. No wonder the whole thing's collapsed into a bunch of squabbling factions and we're mocked by the barbarians we used to rule." />
<string
id="response_1.spc_wanderer_empire_3"
text="{=0SnKUaex}No doubt a sad state of affairs. So what do you do?" />
<string
id="response_2.spc_wanderer_empire_3"
text="{=WQCAanal}Ah, the old days. And no doubt back then they complained about the older days. I've heard enough." />
<string
id="backstory_d.spc_wanderer_empire_3"
text="{=yx5yqDby}Well, I can't just sit around and drink myself to death, so I sell my sword to anyone worth following. I'm a good trainer - I don't bother with horsemen or archers, but if you've got good steady footmen I can do a lot with them. I know a bit about siege machinery too." />
<string
id="generic_backstory.spc_wanderer_empire_3"
text="{=GLXrkZbW}I'm a soldier of the imperial legions. How we came to this sorry state is a sad tale that you've no doubt heard already from my comrades. But I'm sure you're familiar with our mettle in battle, and our skill at turning youths into soldiers." />
