<string
id="backstory_a.spc_wanderer_vlandia_8"
text="{=1Gr3wo1m}I was a smith. As you can see I'm a big fellow, strong... I was good at my job. Had a nice shop on the high street through my town. Saved a bit of money and thought about finding a girl to wed." />
<string
id="backstory_b.spc_wanderer_vlandia_8"
text="{=jsuOEu3a}There was a woman who lived out on the street. Refugee from the wars. Had a small child, a baby really. It was all she had. She'd make small cakes of wheat over a fire. Then one day a young man from the palace came down the street in his horse. Wasn't looking where he was going, didn't care, and his horse crushed that baby's head." />
<string
id="backstory_c.spc_wanderer_vlandia_8"
text="{=rpOla1Vp}I saw her nurse that babe through two fevers. The patience, the sacrifice, of that mother - to see all for which she suffered snatched away like that from her, by some young drunk's carelessness... There was a crowd around them, he was yelling. I just walked over with my hammer and struck him dead.... That was the end of my life in the city. I think back, though, and can't imagine doing different." />

<string
id="backstory_d.spc_wanderer_vlandia_8"
text="{=DHCTLcp1}So here I am. I know men like me can make money guarding merchants, doing other tasks such as that. As long as no one wants me to hurt the innocent... Some day, I hope to find a new place to set up a smithy and start again." />
<string
id="generic_backstory.spc_wanderer_vlandia_8"
text="{=XEsq2Gd6}I was a smith, but I had a problem with gambling. I borrowed from an alley gang, I couldn't pay back, and, well, you probably know what comes next. A smith just can't pack up and go to another place. There's guilds that make that difficult. But I'm a big fellow, I figure I can swing a weapon as well as my tools, and there might be work for me in the wars." />
