<string

text="{=8aEcRzM7}I will tell you. If you are a partisan of the Khan Urkhun and his brood, however, you may not like it." />
<string
id="backstory_a.spc_wanderer_khuzait_6"
text="{=mSQSZyEF}You probably know that the Khuzaits once lived out on the open grass. But our khans became used to luxuries. They lived in cities, and wished to trade with and make war upon other kings. Khan Urkhun, whom some call the Great and others call the Cruel, decided the clans must live in fixed places, so he could count their warriors and levy them, and count their flocks and tax them. Thirty years ago Khan Urkhun ordered all the clans of the Khuzaits to claim land and live upon it, and the noyans to build castles. Most complied, for they had come to value their comforts more than their freedom." />
<string
id="backstory_b.spc_wanderer_khuzait_6"
text="{=phhXgKRm}Some resisted. The Karakhergit - you may have heard of them. They still dwell in the steppes but they are outcaste, raided for slaves by the others. My people were the Uvait. We were broken up - some bands were lured into the villages with silver, others were hunted down, defeated, and their sons taken as hostages. " />
<string
id="backstory_c.spc_wanderer_khuzait_6"
text="{=TxQztLfy}I am one of those whose clan was hunted down a generation ago when they refused the decree of Urkhun Khan, that they must settle and be taxed. They took our flocks, and we have since lived like beggars on the edge of the towns. The far grass teases us with its beauty, but if we went there with no sheep, we would soon starve." />

text="{=TVQEb0MJ}Such a cruel decree..." />
<string
id="response_2.spc_wanderer_khuzait_6"
text="{=YDPpShfF}Sensible man, that Urkhun. Nomads are the enemy of order." />
<string
id="backstory_d.spc_wanderer_khuzait_6"
text="{=sbK6AEjB}I have scraped together a few coins. I will not say how, but they were enough to buy a sword. I am determined to earn enough to buy my people what was taken away from them - herds. I am sad to say I know little of the steppe, but I know much of the towns, of the back streets, of how to live in the gutters and shadows and grow strong." />
<string
id="generic_backstory.spc_wanderer_khuzait_6"
text="{=BxJA6fS5}Urkhun Khan decreed a generation ago that all the Khuzaits must settle, to be conscripted and taxed. We refused. His men took our flocks, and we have since lived like beggars on the edge of the towns. I have resolved to go out and earn the money we need to buy new flocks, and then we shall go again into the great grass, beyond the reach of any tyrant or khan." />
