You resorted to attacks on government treasuries and corrupt
politicians' houses. And now you realize who the old woman is:
One of the servants in a small fortress you burned down! You quickly
tell her that your enemy is the king, not the people. She lets you go
but keeps the sword ready.
"Tell me more," she whispers.
Suddenly, it all becomes clear. When you were young, your parents were
savagely murdered by an army invading your peaceful village. You
wereforced to the streets, living like a dog and begging for food. One
day, an old thief took you in. He taught you how to fend for yourself
in the world, and most importantly, how to evade the Empire that took
everything from you.
