<string
id="backstory_a.spc_wanderer_vlandia_3"
text="{=xl6SnA6n}I was a soldier. It was my father's profession. I thought it would be easy for me. I wasn't scared of death or hardship. But things happen in war - not the deaths, the wounds, the screaming - but terrible things. It's difficult to explain." />
<string
id="backstory_b.spc_wanderer_vlandia_3"
text="{=xSKbicft}Let's say there's a man. He saves your life. He takes a blow for you. And he doesn't boast about it, he doesn't tell anyone else - he just grins at you. Because he knows you'd do the same for him. He's your brother. Every man who fights with him is his brother." />
<string
id="backstory_c.spc_wanderer_vlandia_3"
text="{=4MJsYhys}But everyone else - they're beasts to him. And he's a beast to them. And maybe a day comes that he's gone too far, and the lord is wondering whether to hang him, and a word from you determines whether he lives or dies. And if he lives, that means more peasant women will be raped and old men cut open to look for jewels in their bellies." />

text="{=spHoDrGN}I said nothing. I let my brother hang. I thought I did the right thing, but every night thereafter I saw accusation in the eyes of my fellows. I could not face them. I fled. And here I am now." />
<string
id="generic_backstory.spc_wanderer_vlandia_3"
text="{=bxKXHPp1}I served in the free companies. When I was young and foolish I loved it - the danger, the comraderie. But sometimes something you see turns your stomach. Something you saw a friend of yours do in a looted city. I will not speak of it. I need a new road to follow." />
