> *Pulled from* [[3-spcultures-(Bannerlord)]] — (*Note*: “Boscoric” is a name under Vlandia, not the Empire like I had expected as the Ember of the Flame are imperials, maybe at some point in development they are not, and instead were a minor clan from Vlandia.)

text="{=awCIaqxG}Ho there. Will you join me in a cup of ale?" />
<string
id="str_npc_intro_response_1.6"
text="{=qrfeidLk}Very well. Here's to your health." />
<string
id="str_npc_intro_response_2.6"
text="{=C6GmacOA}I am otherwise occupied, sir." />
<string
id="str_npc_backstory_a.6"
text="{=8O8jU9Jp}And to your health, both physical and spiritual! And always remember - spiritual health comes only from repentence, and for that you have need of something to repent." />
<string
id="str_npc_backstory_b.6"
text="{=gI4xkaaR}I'll grant that's a bit of a heretical notion to the imperial priesthood, but then I was raised a heretic. Perhaps you've heard of the Embers of the Flame? Well, I was born into the retinue of a Perfect, back when the Embers were blazing fire and we wandered the countryside preaching faith and rebellion." />
<string
id="str_npc_interrupt_1.6"
text="{=TGYJUUn0}Go on." />
<string
id="str_npc_interrupt_2.6"
text="{=fpQnbafH}This conversation got rather dangerous rather quickly." />
<string
id="str_npc_backstory_c.6"
text="{=FkhUMTpJ}I reckon I had a gift for a sermon. We'd wander into a village and I'd cut loose with a speech that would have the villagers selling their lands and joining us on our endless pilgrimage. But you know, I suppose the Perfect got a little jealous, started accusing me of deadly error here and the sin of pride there..." />
<string
id="str_npc_backstory_d.6"
text="{=QNVJgFbF}It got tiresome, I can tell you, being accused of heresy by a heretic while living on donations by day and hiding in the hedgerows at night lest the local nobility got tired of us coaxing their tenants into holy poverty. I told the Perfect I wished to bring our message to the towns, and he gave me leave to come here, but I reckon I've gone a little bit astray." />
<string
id="str_npc_backstory_response_1.6"
text="{=igGhbdFj}The Heavens lead us where they will. And how do you make your living?" />
<string
id="str_npc_backstory_response_2.6"
text="{=eUkVaqJN}A colorful life, I suppose, but of little interest to me. Good day to you." />
<string
id="str_npc_signup.6"
text="{=i53bBgar}So, then... I've had odd jobs for the past few years. Mostly I stand in marketplaces shouting out the virtues of this one's saddles or that one's melons..." />
<string
id="str_npc_signup_2.6"
text="{=on8y3fa6}But suppose I found an ambitious young captain - perhaps someone like your good self, someone who needed to sway a crowd or inspire soldiers at some point. I reckon I could travel with that captain - sharing all the battles and hardships of the road, of course - and perhaps teach them a bit of what I know." />
<string
id="str_npc_signup_response_1.6"
text="{=5E6L8WcA}I might be able to hire someone like that." />
<string
id="str_npc_signup_response_2.6"
text="{=LcihqCpu}My apologies, but that is not of interest to me." />
<string
id="str_npc_payment.6"
text="{=Gyslal3Y}Splendid! Ah, but before I sign on... A few of the girls working in this tavern... Well, on the off-chance I've left one or two of them with child, I should leave a bit of coin with them before I go. {NPCPAYMENT}{GOLD_ICON} should cover it. Can you advance me that? " />
<string
id="str_npc_payment_response.6"
text="{=BIXQz5yS}If that's your last 'last request,' I suppose I can. Here's {NPCPAYMENT}{GOLD_ICON}." />
