<string
id="prebackstory.spc_wanderer_khuzait_0"
text="{=OqzUb0E6}My story? Certainly I can tell you, if it interests you." />
<string
id="backstory_a.spc_wanderer_khuzait_0"
text="{=axVcadKQ}My father learned his trade in the time of the old Urkhun Khan. Back then, the Khuzaits were invincible in battle, but had little knowledge of rams, catapults or even ladders, and even the most humble fortress defied them. " />
<string
id="backstory_b.spc_wanderer_khuzait_0"
text="{=Kaz4NbDN}So Urkhun, a man of vision, offered to pay the weight in silver of any imperial engineer captured alive. These captives were forced to teach men like my father the art of siegecraft. My father, in turn, taught me." />
<string
id="backstory_c.spc_wanderer_khuzait_0"
text="{=uSYQb9KY}Now, in Urkhun's day, if a Khuzait apprenticed in siegecraft went to work for another master, it meant a very painful death if he was recaptured. But times have changed. The richest plums of the empire's cities have fallen, and they build their walls higher than they once did. The Khuzait lords pay less for a siegemaster, and that pay is often late. So I am up to taking other employment, if it is offered." />
<string
id="response_1.spc_wanderer_khuzait_0"
text="{=HSHRP59J}Of course, of course. A good engineer deserves his pay." />
<string
id="response_2.spc_wanderer_khuzait_0"
text="{=cPpWwCU9}How virtue has crumbled since the old days." />
<string
id="backstory_d.spc_wanderer_khuzait_0"
text="{=l0OCTrl9}Indeed... Well, at any rate, if you find there is an inconvenient wall between you and the object of your desire, and you wish it reduced to rubble, you know where to find me." />
<string
id="generic_backstory.spc_wanderer_khuzait_0"
text="{=9cFEa5EB}My father was one of the men that Urkhun Khan had trained by captured imperial engineers. Our people knew little of siegecraft in those days. Well, he was not allowed to work for anyone but the Khan, or he would be killed in a very unpleasant way. But he taught me, his son, what he knew, and in this generation things are a little more lenient. So I can work for whom I please. " />
