The cause might have been a misunderstanding or something you or the former friend did. | | 4 | You lost all your possessions in a disaster, and you had to rebuild your life. | | 5 | You were imprisoned for a crime you didn't commit and spent `dice:1d6\|noform\|noparens\|avg` (`1d6`) years at hard labor, in jail, or shackled to an oar in a slave galley. | | 6 | War ravaged your home community, reducing everything to rubble and ruin. In the aftermath, you either helped your town rebuild or moved somewhere else. | | 7 | A lover disappeared without a trace. You have been looking for that person ever since. | | 8 | A terrible blight in your home community caused crops to fail, and many starved.
