Good for you if you didn't heard of Vierlande. Stay away from there, no jokes. I wasn't there myself, but I'm defenetely not going to. This is a special prison for any type of revolutionary-minded folk like these Hessians or Unioneers or someone else. Dark and gloomy hole for those waiting for execution or spending a life sentences for being too annoying to all-mighty strudelworld. Get there and you're done. No "honest work is the road to home." If you're thrown at Vierlande's depth then you have to know - it's your f*^@ home now, baby.
So. It happend somewhere in ... 796 year. Yes, I think so.
And now you'll hear a bit of a story about my dad, and it's "a bit" because I, myself, don't really know more. He was total jerk for sure.
So back in those years he was spending his own sentence at this great place. There is much to wonder about how he managed to slip away, but it's a fact. Rumores tells he was forced to work for the Rheinland military, those of 'em who are called the Bureau of Military Intelligence, and they managed his "escape". Maybe he managed to get out in the body bag being alife. Or is he a magician? In other words - no idea. Many would pay a solid amout of credits just to know how.
So his name was Fritz. Fritz, god damn, Gotfrig.
And yes ... if your stupid enough to bla away anything I'm telling you - I'll make you silent myself. Better safe then sorry.
So about Fritz. They took him in one of those riots between workers and police. And they maked him as a revolutioneer of cause. Bullshit I'd say. No, he was there not for this madness for sure. And there is another option. Shipment of ore is known for not lying on the road for free and is also known for being very profitable for those who'll get the hands on it. Stealing a transport loaded with unprocessed ore could be a great plan, but something went wrong.
He paid 6 years of Vierlande "heaven" for this mistake. And in the 796 A.S. he managed to trick his fate once again.
Fritz managed to run away to Bretonia space and there the story finally starts.
