[圣者三部曲翻译计划][第一部 阴影谷][序章+附录+吐槽]

翻译前言:
最近订购的Avatar五部曲实体书终于全部入手了,介于之前只看到有人翻译过第一部序章和前几章就没有音讯了,本来计划下个月开始慢慢翻译Avatar的第一部,现在实在忍不住开始从序章开始着手(因为之前看过的序章试阅实在让我看不下去。。)一直奇怪圣者系列这么经典竟然没组织翻译(之前看过前几章的片段和某台湾论坛上的个人翻译,但是水品实在。。看起来像是从来没解除过DND的),还是说我离开主物质位面太久没有看到组织的消息。。?不过现在既然没人给我翻译计划,所以凭着兴趣一边慢慢读一边连载着翻译啦,反正每人催我,希望馆长大人和工会的童鞋们能一起讨论翻译和帮忙校对润色~~(原版三部曲的小说和战役设定集我有PDF版的,后两部有word版,没有的童鞋可以管我要~)
P.S.
我的翻译原则:
从翻译开始人名地名特殊名词都保留原文,因为音译一直都不准确,许多精妙的东西也会被混淆,所以这些地方都一律保留原名,另外有些巧妙的语言运用地方实在没法在汉语中表达的,我会尽量意译并在附加的括号中加入注解,以尽量还原本来的含义,那些不确定的或者没法特别准确的翻译的地方,或者还有争议有疑义的地方我会同样把原文附在括号中,以便日后讨论。有时稍微吐槽一下也附在括号里,信徒们抗不过眼就直接跳过去,表追杀我了~~另外背景相关和人名地名特殊名词的对照表以后慢慢列出,目前先在括号中注明。
关于序章:
本来已经熟读的圣者第一部没想到光序章就花了这么长时间翻译,深感中英语言文化差异和汉语语言的局限性啊(或者说是因为我高考语文只有50分的水平。。。)不过不管怎么说中算是有了个好的开始,对照了下之前能找到的序章译版,序章翻译基本满意,不明之处也做了标记,期待校对和润色了~~
虽然这故事大家都耳熟能详了吧,不过毕竟没有正式较好的翻译,喜欢圣者的童鞋们可以先睹为快了~~

圣者三部曲 第一部 阴影谷 The Avator Trilogy Book I Shadowdale
作者:Scott Ciencin (这老同志当年的笔名叫Richard Awlinson,所以87年出版的三部曲作者都是笔名,后来五部曲全出了之后再版了才用的真名)

序章
译者:Seti (以前的马甲还用过Mr.XP,动荡之年后也潜藏与众多巴尔之子中~:)

        Helm(海姆,大家都熟悉的死脑筋中立神了,博德之门2中中立牧师信仰的神祗),不眠之眼,守护之神,警戒地伫立着,审视着他的诸神同胞。集结已经完毕,每一位神,半神和元素神都到场了。诸神所在的万神殿墙壁早已消失,只有窗户还完好地悬浮在真空中,透过这些窗户Helm看到的是一个瓦解着的破碎宇宙。万神殿和里面被完成的祭坛就坐落于这不停扩散的瓦解宇宙的中心,建立在一个刚好能容纳众神集会大小的小岛上。
        一条有破碎的灰色石阶构成的通道漂浮在这瓦解之海上,通往连众神都无法感知的彼端。这也是唯一逃离万神殿的通路,但是没有一个神愚蠢到想要踏上那崎岖的石阶,害怕这条路会通向比这更可怕的地方。
        天空如白色帆布般包围着小岛,点缀着乌黑的群星。忽然一条光带划过天际,如此刺眼以至于连神都无法长久注视,接着光带烧开象牙色的天空形成符文,Helm只能战栗着阅读这些符文。
        ‘世间万物,永劫不复。我们所知所信皆属谎言。诸神的时代即将结束。’
        随即符文便消失了。Helm开始怀疑这是不是某个被召来的神试图以隐喻来恐吓其他众神,但很快就打消了这个念头。他清楚这些符文所蕴含的力量远远超越他身边这些众神。
        Helm倾听着滚滚的闷雷,随着一片夹杂着黑色闪电的巨大灰云飘来,整个万神殿都被阴影笼罩,纯白的天空淡入在云雾之中,漂浮在万神殿之外的石阶崩溃并沉入浩瀚的瓦解之海。
        Helm是第一个被召唤的。前一刻他还在自己的神殿中反复数落自己作为诸神之主Ao的守护者的失职,下一刻他就独自站在万神殿之中,很快他的诸神同胞也相继出现。众神们似乎都因为被强行拽到这个未知的地方的经历而显得晕头转向,虚弱不堪。
        这个召唤是以每个神最恐惧的形态和面孔出现的,对Mystra这位魔法女神(密斯拉二代目,第二任魔法女神就不用多介绍了吧)而言,出现的是一场魔法混乱的征兆;对爱与美的女神Sune Firehair(苏娜.火发,爱美的神竟然一直这么受欢迎,居然还是强大神力,败了。。。)来说出现的是一个骨瘦如柴恶病缠身的生物,哭喊着自己命运同时向她传达着她的命运;而对黑暗之王Bane(班恩,这位主儿就更不用多提了,无敌的强大神力,在冰风谷2中还差点被自己的恶魔儿子Xvim复活,不过最后似乎也成功了,不知道第四版的命运如何),召唤则是以披着绝对的爱与理解的外衣出现,当将黑暗之王脱离自己的国度时,这爱之光芒甚至灼烧了他的本质。
        Helm稍稍望旁边一瞥就看到主神Bane,Myrkul(米尔库,死者之神,怎么说也是个强大神力,但是在三部曲之外似乎出现很少,貌似只在死亡三神历史中提到过是个老骷髅。。)和Mystra女士正在吵得不可开交,最终Mystra恼怒地转身离开去寻找更有理性的同伴。瞥向另一边时,Helm看到Llira(感觉应该是Lliira,怀疑原文拼错了,黎尔拉,虽然有强大信徒贝多芬大人但在费伦算是无名的弱小神力),欢乐女神,带着悲伤的表情无意识地绞着自己的手,然后她回过神来,恐惧地看着自己的双手。站在她旁边的是Ilmater(伊尔马特,信徒无数,小崔系列和博德之门系列出现多次,有名的自虐狂大叔),苦难之神,不能自已地一边狂笑一边手舞足蹈,不住地自言自语着。(whispering knowing comments to no one in particular.)
        正当Helm观察着众神的表情时,一小群没有被召唤所影响得如此不堪的神祗围了上来,守护之神试图忽略这些神的哀诉,他们如今已经尊严不再,抓住他哀嚎着请求更多的信息。
        “我的家被毁了!我在各个位面的神殿都被毁了!”这些神一个接一个地重复同样的怨言,而Helm则只得对这些充耳不闻。
        “是Ao发起的召唤,时机成熟时一切自将明朗。”Helm这样告诉他们,但很快就厌烦了不断的重复,最终他警告着将着小群神打发走。Helm揣摩着他不朽君王Ao的意志,必定有大事要发生了,这点毫无疑问。
        Ao的意志是如此的强大,他自时间之始就从混沌迷雾中开天辟地,建立起秩序与混乱的平衡。从平衡中诞生出世间万物,首先是天界众神,然后是国度中的凡人。Ao,世间万物的造物主,选择了Helm作为自己的右手,而Helm知道正是Ao的力量将众神带到这个疯狂混乱的地方。
        正当Helm静静沉思的时候,Talos(塔洛斯这位大神的名气也不用多说了吧,自耐瑟时代来就存在的强大神力,现在换了个马甲依然信徒无数,博德之门2和冰风谷2中Talos大神的牧师可是强大到没边了~),风暴之神,上前吼道:“我说,这个把戏玩够了吧!如果我们的主人想要表达什么,就让他快说吧,就让他那智慧填补我们空白的灵魂和空洞的心智吧!”Talos试图尽量轻蔑地强调“智慧”二字,但其他众神都明白,他和他们一样明显地恐惧。
        Talos的挑衅并没有得到回应,之前离他一臂之遥的众神现在都躲地他远远的。接下来的寂静预示出了比任何声明更令神震惊的答案,这寂静即是Ao的最终审判。众神这是已经意识到他们的命运了,无论即将发生什么,远在召唤之前就已经注定了。恐怖的寂静充斥着万神殿的大厅,但这寂静迅速被打破了。
        “平衡的守护者们,我向你们所有人讲话!”
        这是Ao的声音,充满着无限的力量,在这种力量面前众神只能屈膝回应,只有主神Bane试图仅用单膝跪在万神殿冰冷的地面上。
        “你们本应是最崇高的存在,你们肩负着稳定那随时都会翻覆的平衡之秤的使命,维持秩序和混沌的和谐,然而你们的行为却像个孩子一样,为了追逐权利与力量而不择手段地盗窃。。。”
        Bane忽然怀疑,这位曾经赐予众神生命的存在召唤它的杰作们来到这里,是否只是为了摧毁他们好重新开始。
        “毁灭也将会降临到你,Bane”Ao宣布着,黑暗之王的思想在Ao面前就好像被大声说出来一样,“但你不用为此担心,这个命运和你接下来的下场相比简直太仁慈了,对其他背板我的神亦不例外。”
        这时Helm上前说道:“Ao大人,石板本是由我守护的,就让--”
        “安静,Helm,免得你遭受和他们一样的命运。”
        Helm转身面对集结的众神,“至少你们应该知道你们的罪名,命运石板被被偷了。”
        忽然从黑暗中爆发出一束光紧紧缠住了守护之神,像鞭子一样的白色火焰箍住Helm的手腕和脚踝,并将他举起到未知的高度,甚至连众神都无法感知,只能惊愕地注视着。Helm从未被双脚悬空,只得无助地咬紧牙关,注视着那片超越一切的黑暗,那片活生生的要吞噬一切的黑暗,那象征着Ao大人愤怒的黑暗。
        “要和你的众神同胞站在一起,不要妄图和你的主人并驾齐驱,明白吗,听话的好Helm?”("Stand you with your fellows and not your liege, good Helm?")
        守护之神只得从紧咬的牙关中挤出一句回复:“遵命”
        Helm忽然间被抛了下来,下降得如此之快和剧烈,已经超出了所有神的感知。Helm被这冲击摔得满身鲜血遍体鳞伤,他试图挣扎着站起来面对他的主人,但这对他来说已经不可能了。他的众神同胞都不敢上前去帮助他,甚至不敢去直视他哀求的眼神,只能任由他面朝下跌倒在万神殿的石头地板上。
        不时闪烁着的光芒中浮现出逐渐席卷向众神的黑暗能束。
        “你们将不再坐在你们的晶壁之塔中俯视国度,这个世界并使仅仅是创造来娱乐你们的。”
        “放逐,”Bane艰难地喘着气低语道。
        “没错,”主神Myrkul说道,一股甚至连这位死者之神都能感受到的战栗充斥着他那无生命的灵魂。
        “你们将不再忽视赐予你们生命的目的!你们将明白你们犯下的罪行并永远铭记,你们违反你们的主人的罪孽将受到惩罚。”
        Bane感到包围着的黑暗更加靠近了。
        “那个贼!”Mystra喊道,“请让我们为您找出那个贼并归还命运石板吧!”
        Tyr(提尔,强大的善神,无冬之夜中因为他的信徒艾瑞贝丝而名声大噪,但是这里极衰。。。),公正之神,张开双臂申诉道:“请不要因为我们同胞中的一个所犯下的愚行而惩罚我们所有人,Ao大人!”
        黑暗如同鞭子一般劈向Tyr的脸,将它他抽倒在地,惨叫着抓着他失明的眼睛。(吐槽一下,好歹人家也是公正之神,Ao这么玩也不好吧。。。但是好处从此费伦大陆就多了一个叫做提尔之眼的魔法物品,镶嵌在卡索缪尔上可以变成+6的神器。。。)
        “你以为你们貌似无辜就能得到救赎吗!”("You see nothing but the salvation of your own skins!"我问了EdGreenwood的老乡,确认大意如此,直译的话就是“你那短浅的目光就只能想到你以为没有偷窃石板的同胞的救赎”,预示着将要发生动荡之年将发生在所有神身上,不管他们做了什么都因为一直的低级表现让Ao大人失望,也许创说中的耶各大人除外。。。)
        众神沉默了,黑暗能束迅速在他们之间穿行,将众神拉向一起,似乎要让Ao的怒火有一个集中的目标。众神或恐惧或痛苦地哭喊着,他们从来没有尝过这种滋味。
        "全是懦夫。盗窃命运石板将是你们最后一次冒犯,你们诸将归还于我。但首先,你们将要为我千年来的失望付出代价。"
        Bane站在原地抵抗着能束,这些刺痛的黑暗能束忽然爆发成耀眼的蓝白火焰,深深地灼烧着他。他透过光芒隐约看见Mystra也同样在挣扎着站在原地,面部划过一丝微笑。(不愧是泼辣的第二代女神啊,这么喜欢SM。。。-_-听到这话肯定要被密斯拉的选民们大卸八块了。。。)然后能束包住Bane,他的世界就只剩下只有神才能想象和感受到的痛苦了。
        在无止境的折磨过后,所有的神都被黑暗能带的力量拉住紧紧绑在一起,接着他们发现自己恢复了知觉能够再度思考。
        而紧接着感受到就是恐惧,这种感觉他们现在已经熟知了。
        最终,主神Talos勉强开口了,声音微弱而嘶哑,每个字都带着恐惧的喘息:“终于结束了吗?就只有这样吗?”
        万神殿忽然间消失了,仍然被绑在一块的神发现他们正在全神贯注地盯着自己最恐惧的面孔:混乱,痛苦,真爱,生命,无知,从中众神也同样看到他们自己的毁灭。
        “那仅仅浅尝我的愤怒而已,现在,畅饮真神之怒吧!”
        接着传来的声音与之前完全不同。
        众神的尖叫。
        Mystra挣扎着试图重新找回一点仅剩的控制力,接着发现她被飞快地卷入一个不可思议的漩涡。她遭受着无法忍受的痛苦,同时被剥夺了神格。但魔法女神并非是唯一受此折磨的,除Helm外所有的众神都被打下天界。
        过了一段时间,Mystra在国度中醒来,她惊讶地发现自己的形态退化成了最原始的本质,她的身体只剩下一小团蓝白色火焰。
        “你要选择一名圣者(Avatar,即神在凡间的化身,三部曲的主线,卡梅隆大人在多年前也计划过这么一部电影。)”Ao的声音回响在她的脑海中,“你将附在凡人的肉体中,向人类一样活着。只有这样你才有可能学会珍惜那些你以为是天经地义的东西。”
        接着就只剩下Mystra独自一人。
        陨落的女神彷徨了一会,仔细回想着Ao的话。如果她必须选择一名圣者并附体在血肉之躯中的话,那么Ao确实是打算将众神放逐在位面之外了。即使Mystra早已预感到Ao将要为他仆从犯下的过错而惩罚他们--而她也早已就为此就做好了准备,秘密地将自己力量的一小部分碎片藏于国度之中(众所周知可怜的老12345,午夜,凯特兰和可怜的密斯拉选民们。。。就这么被自己的女神当成后备粮食。。)--女神还是不能接受她的损失,她那在天界中美丽的宫殿。
        Mystra环视四周,她那无形的身躯似乎都在发抖。她周围这片大陆对凡人来说也许很迷人:延绵的山脉环绕着魔法女神,一座古老破碎的城堡坐落在西方的地平线上。没错,大部分的人类都会觉得这景色祥和,Mystra心想,但比起我的家来这简直不堪入目。
        Nirvana,Mystra的领域所在的终极秩序位面,(印象中的位面不是极乐界Elysium么?还是说我时空错位了。。。望高手指教~)那是一片完美的领域,无边广阔,在那里无论是光明与黑暗、炎热与寒冷都处于和谐的平衡。Nirvana不像国度中的地形那样混乱,它的结构如同一个巨大钟表的内部,所有的齿轮都有序地均匀分布,彼此完美地咬合,在每一个齿轮上都栖息着一个守序神的在这个位面的国度,当然Mystra视她自己的国度为全Nirvana乃至所有位面中最美丽的国度,事实的确如此。(吐槽一下,密姐姐不光自大而且比Sune女神还要自恋,这第二代女神也太。。。无语了)
        女神观察了一会那城堡的遗迹,然后默默地诅咒着Ao。即使在那城堡刚刚新建好时,也还不如我家中的一个壁橱,Mystra苦苦地想着,而她那神奇光亮宫殿的景象不由自主地出现在她脑海中,在她国度中的那些城堡都是由纯魔法能量建成的,所有的能量都直接取自包围着Faerun的魔法网络。(好过分的密姐姐,把我们国度众生当什么了。。。难怪Ao发怒~)和Nirvana的其他地方一样,她的宫殿也如此的完美和永恒,所有的高塔都是绝对整齐的高度,所有窗户都是同样的形状尺寸,就连建造城堡的每一块魔法网络做成的砖都是完美地一模一样。在Mystra家的中心耸立着她的图书馆,保存着世间所有的书籍和卷轴,陈列着世上所有已知的和未被发现的卷轴。
        Mystra转向天空中那片黑色暴风之云,“我会重新拥有我的家的,Ao”她轻声说到,“而且我会很快。”
        在魔法女神凝视着那片滚云的同时,她注意到空中有着什么发光的东西。但当她试图聚焦到那似乎悬在云中的光线时感到了一阵眩晕,Ao的攻击竟然还让我这么昏乱,她这么想着,再次试图看清在天空和城堡遗迹间的闪光。过了一阵,她的视觉清晰起来,认出了她面前波动着的景象。
        是座天界圣梯。
        在Mystra注视的同时圣梯在不断地变化形状,那是众神在国度和他们各个位面的家园之间旅行的通道,即使Mystra很少使用这个通道去Faerun,她也知道在整个国度中有许多这样的通道通往天界的网络连接中心(Nexus,指连接所有的,四通八达的神经结,上古和辐射有名的T网就叫这个,但是想不到更好的翻译了,欢迎指正~),这些网络则连接着所有神的家园。
        Mystra朦胧地注视那从长长的木质螺旋梯变换成美丽的大理石阶梯的圣梯,忽然意识到她为何连观察天界圣梯都感到困难:只有神或极其强大凡人(比如12345和“那个”巴尔之子:))的视觉才能看到圣梯,而现在她什么也不是。
        陨落的女神意识到这个之后,刺激着她立刻做出行动,开始着手恢复从她在Ao召唤几个小时前就藏于在国度中虔诚的信徒(再次可怜老12345。。)中的能量碎片,Mystra开始施展一个法术来定位她之前储存的能量。即使在这云雾状的形体中,魔法女神仍然能够轻松地完成施法时所必要的复杂手势并咏唱出咒文(不亏还是在第二版,现在基本连所有凡人都会法术默发和静立施法了),但当她完成施法时什么也没发生。
        “不!”Mystra呼喊到,她的声音回响在群山之间,“你不能夺走我的艺术,Ao,我不容许这样!”(再次吐槽泼辣的密姐姐,您不知道Ao大人能够感知到所有和他名字相关的东西和接下来的24个字么,竟然这么公开亵渎。。。)
        女神试图再次施法,一道绿色的能量光柱从地面爆发出来并迅速席卷向Mystra,能量击打着她非固体的形态,使得Mystra不断惨叫着。绿色的光箭射穿了魔法女神蓝白色的雾状躯体,使她的愈发痛苦地尖叫,在失去意识前的几秒她的视线始终不离那斡旋在光亮天界圣梯周围的黑色卷云。
        在圣梯的顶端,在位面的连接中心,主神Helm,守护之神,注视着Mystra被走火的法术击中失去意识。Helm仍然由于Ao的怒火而遍体鳞伤浑身鲜血,但不像其他众神,他仍保持着他在位面中的形态:一个巨大全身着甲的武士,钢护手上印着永恒看守之眼。
        Helm之眼还可以清晰地看到一切,但当他转身仰望上空脉动的黑云时眼中透露着忧伤。“请问我的惩罚是什么,Ao大人?”
        一片寂静。当Ao回答时,Helm缓缓的点头,他的答案并不出乎意料。

附录1:之前forgauss大人写的介绍

《圣者三部曲》的内容简介

作者 :forgauss



《圣者三部曲》主要发生在Time of Troubles这个混乱年代,这个事件的起因大家可能都知道了,死亡三人组Bane(纷争之神)、Myrkul(死者之神)、Bhaal(谋杀之神,他老兄因为博德之门系列而名声大噪)偷走了圣物命运石板,企图发现其中的秘密来要挟神上之神AO。AO发觉后感到十分愤怒,加上他长久以来对诸神的不满,决定借此给这些狂妄家伙一次深刻教训。他召集了所有的神,将他们全部贬下凡尘(主物质界面),每个神可以选择拥有一个圣者(Avatar,也叫神使,可以理解为神的化身),只有找到命运石板的神才可以返回天界(外层界面)。为了防止诸神私自返回外层界面,AO留下了他最信任的一个神Helm,让他来把守返回外层界面的通道(守序中立的Helm恐怕是完成这项任务的最佳人选,后面我们就会看到他是怎样的“忠于职守”)。
《圣者三部曲》的故事就是在这样一种情况下开始的,主人公是一个四人冒险团队,按照加入顺序分别是:战士Kelemvor、盗贼Cyric、牧师Adon和女魔法师Midnight(Kelemvor和Midnight后来还成了一对恋人),他们被一个年青的女孩Caitlan雇佣,去解救一位被关押在Kilgrave城堡中的女士。这位女士表面上是Caitlan的女主人,实际上她就是魔法女神Mystra,而关押她的人就是强大的纷争之神Bane(Bane的圣者出现在扎塔林堡,很快拥有了一批强大的手下),Caitlan和Midnight身上都注入了魔法女神的一部分神力(从某种意义上讲,她们都成了Mystra的圣者)。
经过一番苦战,四人组击退了Bane,救出了Mystra,Mystra和Caitlan合体成为一个人。为了报答四人组,Mystra许诺给他们想要的任何东西,战士Kelemvor只要了马和补给。Mystra感到非常奇怪,因为四人组居然没有借此机会向她索取神格。在了解到这一点后,盗贼Cyric的心中产生了一个伟大计划。
Mystra决定立即返回外层界面去通知AO:偷走命运石板的就是死亡三人组。可惜守卫通道的是死脑筋的Helm,不管Mystra怎么说,Helm就抱定了一条:只有拿到命运石板的神才能返回外层界面。最后这两位神之间不可避免的产生一场大战,被贬入主物质界面Mystra的力量已被大大削弱,最后终于死在Helm手下(准确的说是她的一个主要圣者Caitlan死了,而另一个次要圣者Midnight还活着)。
这时四人组来到了阴影谷,了解到Bane即将率领扎塔林堡的军队进攻这里,于是四个人留下来协助防守。Midnight和Adon留在Elminster塔里面保护老魔法师Elminster,这位伟大的魔法师计划通过一个召唤仪式召唤出一个强大的生物来对付Bane。但在召唤仪式进行到最关键的时候,听到风声的Bane突然出现,和Elminster大战起来,把Elminster推进了召唤仪式产生的裂缝中。但这时Elminster召唤出来的元素生物也出现了,把Bane也推进了裂缝中。经过这么几次折腾,Elminster塔完全倒塌了。只有Midnight和Adon从废墟中生还。这时扎塔林堡的军队已经被击退了,人们发现了Elminster塔的倒塌,受人尊敬的Elminster不知去向,于是怀疑是Midnight和Adon搞得鬼,把他们俩关了起来。
Midnight和Adon以谋杀Elminster的罪名被宣判死刑,多亏Cyric把他们救了出来。
这三个人开始逃亡生涯,被很多人追杀,其中包括他们原来的朋友Kelemvor。后来Cyric和另外两人分开了,自己组织了一支邪恶队伍,来完成他成为神的伟大计划。其间他获得了一把魔剑,这把剑其实就是影子之神Mask的圣者,具有强大的力量(后来因此得了外号屠神剑)。有了这把剑,Cyric更是如虎添翼。
Midnight和Adon了解到第一块命运石板在Tantras,于是赶到了那里,正义之神Torm正守卫着那里。Torm帮助Adon恢复了信心,之后Adon发现了大难不死的Elminster,洗清了自己的冤屈。
为了获取命运石板,Bane又率领大军尾随来到了Tantras,在那里他和Torm展开了一场大战,最后这一正一邪两个神同归于尽了(弱小神力的Torm能和强大神力的Bane同归于尽,值了)。不过后来AO又把Torm复活了,而Bane就没那么好运气了(AO巴不得Bane这个罪魁祸首完蛋呢)。
Kelemvor、Adon和Midnight得到了第一块命运石板,并了解到第二块在深水城,于是出发前往那里,他们原来的伙伴Cyric为了获得命运石板,也开始跟踪他们。死亡三神的老三、一直窝在家里生孩子的Bhaal这时终于出动了(其实也不能怪Bhaal,无情的老大Bane为了对付Torm,决定吸取Bhaal的能量,杀了Bhaal无数信徒,使他的力量大为削弱,只能窝在家里传宗接代),决定尾随Kelemvor等三人,伺机夺取第一块命运石板。

这几路人马最后在Boareskyr桥遭遇了,Bhaal成功劫持了Midnight,夺取了第一块命运石板,但遭到Cyric的攻击。双方展开一场混战,最后Cyric靠着手上的魔剑杀了Bhaal,但他自己也受了重伤,Midnight趁机逃脱,Bhaal的死使Boareskyr桥下的河水变成了永久的毒水。
Kelemvor、Adon和Midnight来到了龙矛堡,在那里,死亡三神的最后一位死神Myrkul为他们设下了一个陷阱。实际上,第二块石板并不在深水城,而是在死神Myrkul的老巢——死亡之地的骨头城堡中。但由于死亡之地位于外层空间,Myrkul自己去不了(真是一个讽刺呀),于是他决定诱使Midnight替他拿回来。经过重重考验,Midnight拿到了第二块石板,并成功与朋友们在深水城汇合,而第三块命运石板就在那里。
气急败坏的Myrkul决定孤注一掷,他打开了通往低层界面的通道,使大量的恶魔进入了深水城,成功地吸引了大部分的守卫,而他自己则在黑杖塔中单挑Elminster以及三人组(少了一个Cyric,四人组变三人组了)。
在这最后的战斗中,由于Adon以及一位狮鹫骑士的英勇奋战,Midnight成功摧毁了Myrcul。但此时Cyric出现了,他杀死了Kelemvor(Cyric一直以来就很讨厌Kelemvor),击伤了Adon,带着命运石板逃走了。
愤怒的Midnight和Adon紧追Cyric,一直追到深水山,这时AO出现了,Cyric把三块命运石板献给了AO,为了奖励Cyric,AO把他封为神,并把死亡三神的所有神力都化归给了他。AO当然也不会亏待Midnight,他问她是否愿意接替Mystra成为魔法女神,起初Midnight并不感兴趣,但Adon提醒她,只有成为神才能与Cyric对抗,才能为Kelemvor报仇。于是Midnight成为了魔法女神,而Adon成了新的Mystra的第一个牧师。
后来AO又试图复活了Bhaal,但并没有成功(Cyric也不是好惹的)。Cyric成了神之后,胃口越来越大,不久他就在影子之神Mask(其实就是Cyric手上那把魔剑)的帮助下,谋杀了幻影女神Leira,夺取了他的神力。
这时的Cyric几乎成了所有神中最为强大的,可惜物极必反,Midnight联合一些正义之神开始对付他,Cyric受了刺激,变得有点神志不清。后来他又发现Mask背叛了他,于是愤怒地折断了手中那把魔剑,这样被囚禁在魔剑中的Kelemvor的灵魂得到了解放。趁着疯狂的Cyric把死亡之地搞得一团糟,Kelemvor成功地接替了Cyric在这个领域地神权,成为了新的死神(Kelemvor是守序中立,总比原来那个邪恶的Myrkul好)。
Bane,这个在Time of Troubles被摧毁的神,通过他的恶魔儿子Xvim,也成功复活
了,夺取了Cyric在纷争这一块的神权(Cyric、Kelemvor、Bane都是强大神力,可见原来的Cyric能力有多强大!)。后来Cyric终于在他的信徒的帮助下清醒了,这时他的神权只剩下谎言、欺骗、谋杀了,而且可能还要面对无畏的Bhaal之子(玩家?)的挑战。

四人组一共出了三个神,只有Adon不思进取,到头来还是当他的牧师(他原来是爱神Sune的牧师),只不过换了个主子罢了。

众神行踪原文:

Deity Locations During the Time of Troubles
    Compiled and Written by Thomas M. Costa

The year 1358 DR, the Year of Shadows and the Time of Troubles, also known as the Godswar, the Avatar Crisis, or when gods walked Toril, was the most destructive and disruptive time in Faer?n's recent history. While the Avatar Trilogy (Shadowdale, Tantras, and Waterdeep) follows the quest of four mortal heroes and involves a handful of Faer?n's gods directly, the power of a god tends to get noticed, and other Forgotten Realms novels and game supplements have revealed the goings-on of many other powers. Some of these gods died and are slowly fading into memories, others wreaked havoc, and still others served as divine shields against their fellow powers and magic gone awry.

Faer?nian Pantheon
The Faer?nian pantheon was the most closely involved in the Time of Troubles, with its members directly responsible for the events leading up to and ending the crisis.

Azuth: The Lord of Spells spent much of his time caring for part of Mystra's power and guarding a statue of her at the Pool of Yeven in Battledale.

Bane: Lord Bane first arrived at Zhentil Keep, but moved onwards to travel throughout the eastern Heartlands of the Realms in his quest for the Tablets of Fate.

Bhaal: Bhaal first appeared as a killing force who could possess humans in Eveningstar, Cormyr, where he began a spree of murder and destruction. He too traveled far during the Avatar Crisis.

Eldath and Mielikki: Eldath appeared with Mielikki in the North among the boughs of the Misty Forest, where together they worked to prevent their followers from great sin.

Garagos: Garagos rampaged through Westgate's harbor before wading out into the Sea of Fallen Stars, leaving a blood-red harbor in his wake.

Gond: The Wonderbringer fell to Toril as a gnome on the shores of Lantan. In gratitude for the sanctuary, he taught the Lantanese the secrets of smokepowder.

Gwaeron Windstrom and Shialla: Following his defeat at the claws of Nobanion, Malar, the Lord of Beasts, was relentlessly pursued throughout the North by Gwaeron and could not shake the Master of Tracking from his trail. Shialla allied with Gwaeron Windstrom, repairing the damage Malar's destructive rampages caused.

Helm: The Vigilant One was the only god to not lose his divine power and was charged with guarding the Celestial Stairway, a portal that leads to the otherworldly domains of the gods, from his brethren.

Hoar: Hoar stalked the Old Empires, appearing in Akanax, where he took the body of King Hippartes as his avatar. Then he appeared in Thay to obtain a cache of weapons, and he showed up in Unther, where he slew his ancient rival, Ramman, Untheric god of war.

Ibrandul: Ibrandul, god of caverns, was slain in the Underdark beneath Waterdeep by Shar in secret and his portfolio was stolen.

Iyachtu Xvim: The avatar of the godling Iyachtu Xvim, half-demon offspring of Bane, was imprisoned under Zhentil Keep.

Lliira and Waukeen: The Joybringer met with Waukeen near Shadowdale. From there the pair journeyed to the Celestial Stairway. Menaced by Helm, the two retreated to Cormanthor to plan further. There Waukeen used her divine contacts to escape to the Outer Planes, leaving what remained of her godhood in the care of Lliira. Waukeen traveled first to the Astral Plane and then the Abyss, where she was betrayed and captured by the Demon Lord Graz'zt. It would be over a decade before the Merchant's Friend was rescued from Graz'zt's Argent Palace.

Loviatar: The Goddess of Pain was believed to be in Waterdeep.

Malar: Malar battled Nobanion in the Gulthmere Forest before fleeing to the North where he was hunted by Gwaeron Windstrom.

Mask: Mask spent his time secretly traveling the heartlands of Faer?n in disguise.

Mielikki: See Eldath above.

Milil: Milil journeyed to Arbalest's House in Athkatala, Amn, where he personally founded a singing circle and charged his faithful with building a new temple.

Moander: The Darkbringer's avatar was presumably in the Lost Vale of Tarkhaldale, a long-since abandoned Daleland. There he rebuilt his strength from events involving the heroes Alias and the saurial Dragonbait. Shortly after the Time of Troubles, Moander was destroyed by mortal heroes led by Finder Wyvernspur, who seized Moander's godhood.

Myrkul: Myrkul spent much of his time in Waterdeep scheming.

Mystra: Mystra's power was spread among her chosen faithful ere she was captured by Bane in Castle Kilgrave in northern Cormyr. Upon her escape, she journeyed to the Celestial Stairway where she challenged Helm.

Nobanion: In a titanic combat known as the Roar of the Shadows, Nobanion and a handful of Emerald Enclave druids drove Malar north and west from the Gulthmere Forest along the Dragon Coast. Afterwards, Lord Firemane emerged from the Gulthmere to roam the Shining Plains.

Red Knight: The Red Knight appeared in northeastern Tethyr, where he helped that nation defeat monsters raiding from the Wealdath.

Savras: Long-ago imprisoned in the Scepter of Savras by Azuth, Savras remained so during the Time of Troubles. Following that crisis, Azuth agreed to release Savras in exchange for his pledge of fealty.

Sel?ne and Shar: Shar and Sel?ne fought another round of their age-old battle as mortals in Waterdeep. Shar also secretly slew Ibrandul beneath Waterdeep and stole his portfolio.

Shar: See Sel?ne above.

Sharess: Sharess took the form of the favorite concubine of the pasha of Calimport and was liberated from the growing influence of Shar by Sune.

Shaundakul: Shaundakul roamed the ruins of Myth Drannor, where he battled and destroyed the avatar of a minor orc deity.

Shiallia: See Gwaeron Windstrom above.

Siamorphe: Siamorphe manifested in the villa of a Waterdhaven lady and protected the North and Sea Wards of that great city from the large-scale damage caused by the Godswar.

Silvanus: Silvanus is reported to have been seen in the Winterwood and the Chondalwood, both of the Vilhon Reach.

Sseth: The avatar of Sseth, god of the yuan-ti serpent folk, appeared in the Black Jungles in the form of a giant, winged, magic-using snake, where he challenged his clergy to rebuild their strength. He also battled Ubtao to a draw on the eastern edge of Chult. The Mulhorandi Lord of Evil, Set, has since slain Sseth and absorbed his portfolio.

Sune: Sune rescued Sharess from the evil clutches of Shar by dousing Sharess in the sacred waters of Evergold before arriving in Teziir along the Dragon Coast.

Talona: Talona appeared to an evil human wizard named Aballister, gifted him with the recipe for the powerful Chaos Curse, and bade him to found a trifold order of wizards, priest, and warriors in the so-called mountain fort of Castle Trinity.

Talos: Talos, the Raging One, spent his time in Tsurlagol in the Vast.

Tempus: Tempus arrived in the shell of a shattered castle in Battledale before moving on to the battlefield of Swords Creek in Mistledale.

Torm: Torm discovered a great evil being done in his name in the Vast city of Tantras. There he traveled to rectify this wrong and protect that city.

Tymora: Tymora appeared at her temple in Arabel, Cormyr, and it is thought her presence there spared the city much destruction.

Ubtao: Ubtao stalked the length and breadth of Chult in the shape of a tyrannosaurus rex, where he battled to a draw with Sseth the Great Snake on the eastern edge of Chult.

Ulutiu: Ages ago, Ulutiu sank beneath the Cold Ocean causing it to freeze into the Great Glacier. There he has slept since, including throughout the Time of Troubles.

Umberlee: The Bitch Queen spent the Time of Troubles in the Sea of Fallen Stars, wreaking destruction on one pirate isle after another. She also appeared in the Trackless Sea, off the coast of Trisk near the Purple Rocks, where she is believed to have met with her seraph, a mighty kraken.

Waukeen: See Lliira above.

The locations of several Faer?nian powers remain unrevealed, though some might be deduced, including Akadi, Auril, Beshaba, Chauntea, Deneir, Eshowdow (since slain), Gargauth, Grumbar, Ilmater, Istishia, Kossuth, Lathander, Leira (since slain), Lurue, Oghma, Tyr, Uthgar, and Valkur. Likewise, the demigod Jergal is mysteriously said to have played no part in the Time of Troubles. In addition, a few gods had not yet become deities, including Finder Wyvernspur and Velsharoon.

Mulhorandi Pantheon
Prior to the Godswar, the ancient nation of Mulhorand was ruled by the incarnations and manifestations of their gods. The Time of Troubles changed that, sending the Mulhorandi gods back to the Outer Planes, but also bringing about a new age of activism for the pantheon. The location of most of Mulhorand's gods during this time, including Hathor, Isis, Nephthys, Osiris, Sebek, Set, and Thoth, remains unrevealed -- although most of them likely were located in that ancient empire.

Anhur: Anhur distinguished himself during the Godswar by battling the avatar of Sekolah, the great white shark deity of the sahuagin, who prowled the Alamber Sea. He also claimed the portfolio of the Untheric god of war, Ramman, from his slayer, Hoar.

Geb: Geb led an army of his most faithful followers to construct a secret temple known as the Golden Forge in the depths of the volcano on the island known as the Ship of the Gods, where they struggle to prevent the volcano from exploding to this day.

Horus-Re: Horus-re ruled Mulhorand through his manifestation in Pharaoh Horustep III in the capitol city of Skuld. The end of the Avatar Crisis removed that divinity from Horustep, leaving him only a mortal of divine lineage.

Untheric Pantheon
After millennia of misrule and tyranny under Gilgeam, what remained of the Untheric pantheon came to an end during the Godswar.

Gilgeam and Tiamat: Gilgeam, the god-king of Unther, was slain by his rival Tiamat in Unthalass, ending his two-millennium rule of that nation and spelling the end of the Untheric pantheon. Tiamat then joined the factitious Faer?nian pantheon.

Ramman: Ramman, Untheric god of war, was slain by his ancient rival Hoar, but prevented his slayer from claiming his portfolio, instead passing it on to Anhur of the Mulhorandi pantheon

Nonhuman Powers
The locations of very few nonhuman gods have been revealed. The few that have been revealed are noted below.

Clangeddin Silverbeard and Labelas Enoreth: Clangeddin Silverbeard, in the form of three dwarves melded into a giant earth elemental, battled Labelas Enoreth, who had possessed the body of his cleric Vartan Hai Sylvar for use as his avatar, over a misunderstanding upon the isle of Ruathym. The battle resulted in the destruction of Clangeddin's avatar.

Deep Duerra: Duerra's avatar appeared in Underspires, a duergar city deep below the Osraun Mountains of northern Turmish, in the form of the Queen Mother, who was serving as regent of the city until the young king reached his maturity. Under the goddess' leadership, the city's army extended the holdings of Underspires, before she disappeared into the southernmost reaches of the Underdark.

Ilsensine: The Tentacled Lord of the mind flayers manifested in the city of Oryndoll, miles beneath the Shining Plains west of the Vilhon Reach, adopting the elder brain of Oryndoll as its avatar form.

Lolth: The Spider Queen appeared in her great city of Menzoberranzan, home of the outcast Drizzt Do'Urden, where she allegedly slew a minor drow deity of assassination and usurped her portfolio.

Segojan Earthcaller and Urdlen: Hardbuckler was said to have been the site of a great struggle between the avatars and servants of the Lord of Burrows, Segojan, and the Crawler Below, Urdlen.

Sekolah: The great white shark deity of the sahuagin fought Anhur off the coast of Mulhorand in the Alamber Sea.

Selvetarm: Selvetarm rampaged through the drow city of Eryndlyn, located in hidden caves beneath the High Moor, attacking strongholds of the followers of Ghaunadaur and Vhaeraun. The avatar was eventually driven into the wild Underdark by an alliance of the victimized cults.

For Those Who HAVE Read the Avatar Trilogy
If you have read the trilogy already, you won't find any spoilers below. However, those who haven't yet read the series, please take a look at this AFTER you have finished reading the novels unless you don't mind spoilers!

Ao: Lord Ao, the Overpower, the Hidden One, was responsible for casting the gods down to Faer?n. He appeared only briefly in extradimensional places and hideaways like the Flame Void and Elminster's Safehold, before finally appearing at the end of the Avatar Crisis at Mount Waterdeep.

Bane: Bane further traveled to Castle Kilgrave, Shadowdale, Scardale, and Tantras where he was slain in battle with Torm.

Bhaal: Bhaal traveled west to High Horn, agreed to help Myrkul following Bane's death at the hands of Torm, and was slain by Cyric, who wielded the sword Godsbane (the sword was secretly the avatar of Mask) at Boareskyr Bridge, where his remains poison the waters to this day.

Cyric, Kelemvor, and Midnight: Along with Adon, a cleric of Sune, Cyric, Kelemvor, and Midnight, were the heroes (and villain) of the Avatar Crisis and traveled throughout the heartlands of the Forgotten Realms. As a reward for their acts, Cyric and Mystra were elevated to godhood by Ao. Eventually, Kelemvor, who had been slain by Cyric, was freed from Godsbane, Mask's avatar form, and himself elevated to godhood.

Mask: The Master of All Thieves disguised himself as the magical soul-stealing sword, Godsbane, the blade wielded by Cyric during the Time of Troubles and used to slay both Bhaal and Kelemvor. Mask's ploy, however, backfired in part, since Cyric stole much of his power upon attaining godhood.

Myrkul: Myrkul was destroyed atop Mount Waterdeep by Midnight, who was empowered with the essence of Mystra.

Mystra: Mystra was destroyed by Helm for challenging him on the Celestial Stairway. Her power was reborn in her servant Midnight, who took up the goddess' name and mantle.

Torm: Torm stayed true to his duty. He defended the city of Tantras from Bane and died in battle with the Black Lord. However, because he was true to his own ethos, Ao raised him back up to godhood at the end of the Avatar Crisis.

这我倒是第一次听说。。。果然TSR用心险恶啊!因为我定的是2000年的再版,到了第三本深水城作者已经变成Troy Denning了(也或者是两个人一起写的?),第四部的作者就彻底换人了,前言还特意提到“接到前辈这个续写任务我表示压力很重。。”当时还奇怪怎么全书都是写的“Richard Awlinson's Avatar Series”呢,原来就是像"R.A. Salvatore's War of the Spider Queen"一样,就是给书捆绑发售嘛。。。

Tyr向Ao申诉后被活剐了,末了Ao还撂下一句"You see nothing but the salvation of your own skins!"
我这里翻译成“你以为你们貌似无辜就能得到救赎吗!”,因为我问了EdGreenwood的老乡,大意可能如此,直白地说就是”你那短浅的目光就只能想到你以为没有偷窃石板的同胞的救赎”,预示着将要发生动荡之年将发生在所有神身上,不管他们做了什么都因为一直的低级表现让Ao大人失望,也许创说中的耶各大人除外。。。不过总感觉有点不太对劲,Arcanum大大觉得这里这么翻译可以么?

一開始那三本因為時間有限,所以分配給不同的作者。如果用原名,以那時照作者名的上架方式會被拆開放,導致產品分散,所以就取一個共用偽名。

WoSQ的狀況應該不一樣,不是為了能被放在一起,而是廣告性質。

Ed針對Time of Troubles寫的Waterdeep是模組。

在Nirvana的是第一代Mystra,而第二代Mystra(Midnight)從Nirvana移往Elysium。

被Cyric攻擊的是第二代Mystra。

耐瑟时代的是一代魔法女神密斯拉,被卡尔萨斯非礼后自杀,改名叫密斯特拉,2代魔法女神

然后2代被海姆KO了,午夜继承了密斯特拉的名字,成了3代女神,然后被希瑞克KO了

这么说。。。也算是明白了,被Cyric杀害的其实就是Midnight吧?
因为初代Mystra被Karsus非礼后改名重生成萝莉形态,之后性情大变四处散播选民,所以一直认为这就是密姐姐第二代了。。。还是比较喜欢现在的密姐姐,

12楼貌似正解,一般都觉得Midnight就是第三代,只是完全继承了Mystra这个名字,最早奈瑟时代的密姐姐还是Mystryl,混乱中立但是基本还是维护国度魔网的和平,
后来查了一下,robflag说的没错,Karsus封神后初代密姐姐就被杀了,转生后改名改圣徽了,所以应该算是第二代,现在被杀的就是第三代Midnight。

Karsus没有封神,他使用了一个12级法术想篡夺Mystryl的神位,结果无法控制魔网而失败,造成魔法混乱,Mystryl不得不牺牲自己,中断魔网并转化为Mystra,这也造成了耐色的毁灭
Midnight作为第二任Mystra与第三代魔法女神不矛盾

陨落(The Fall)

3520年前后,伟大的大奥师伊奥勒姆失踪了。他的朋友们,包括卡尔萨斯,都相信他是因为严重依赖魔法的力量维持生命,才不得不离开耐色瑞尔(他已是近三千岁高龄)。伊奥勒姆的下落,最终成为一个谜。

民众获知了伊奥勒姆的失踪,顿时耐色瑞尔陷入一片恐慌。大奥师们始终担心不已,因为形势已经到了哗变的边缘。卡尔萨斯感到,一副无比沉重的担子压在肩头,那是耐色瑞尔的前途。该是勉力一搏,重振国家于危亡中的时刻了,他觉得。于是经过多年钻研,他创造出一种魔法,然后把它用在了自己的身上。

这个法术,就是“卡尔萨斯之化身”,绝无仅有的一个十二级法术。它能够暂时将一位神的力量盗走。卡尔萨斯选择了魔法女神密丝瑞尔,作为他的目标。终于,他施展了这个法术,却绝没有想到这将会永久地改变魔法运行的方式。广博的学识,往往反而压倒理性的智慧,卡尔萨斯也不例外。

他感觉到,神圣的力量从四面八方,争先恐后地涌入,汹涌着,狂野地激荡着。顿时,他的脑中充满了不可思议的知识。然而一霎那间,卡尔萨斯意识到他做了一件多么可怕的事情。他从一个神那里偷来了自己根本不该偷走的力量。密丝瑞尔的职责,需要她常常运用自己的神力来调控和修复魔法网(the weave of magic)---因为魔法网总是处在威胁之中,耐色瑞尔人对魔法的滥用和费林魔葵的吸魔术都经常使它受损。而当她失去了使原初魔法(指天然纯净的,未加处理的魔法能量)网维持稳定的能力,魔法能量顿时泛滥成灾。它们汹涌澎湃,无序地大起大落着,使得一切魔法的威力陡然倍增---尽管只持续了不长的时间。

为了保护魔法网,密丝瑞尔抢在局势发展得不可收拾之前,牺牲了自己。只有如此,才能切断她和卡尔萨斯之间的联系,同时封闭魔法网。这也导致全世界所有的魔法暂时消失。糟糕的是,失去了魔法动力的支撑,耐色瑞尔的浮空城纷纷坠落,而卡尔萨斯也迅速被死亡吞没。他臃肿的身体化作一尊石像,从浮空城摇摇欲坠的高台上跌倒下来,垂直地落向大地。他的身体沉坠在席席的风中,石化的双眼,却依旧闪耀着神明般全知全能的智慧光芒,隐隐约约地见证着一座座浮空城粉身碎骨的结局,和那里一切生命的凋零。
他的心碎了---贪求诸神的力量,使他亲手开启了毁灭的大门,将他的家园、他的亲人、他的好友、还有他的人民,统统葬送在灾难的深渊里。

很快密丝瑞尔转世重生了,新的魔法女神名为密斯拉(Mystra),她用了一个美丽的农家女的身体---虽然那个姑娘只会一些最基本的戏法,却天生就是一块当大奥师的料。此后,她的第一件事就是重建魔法网的秩序。这一回,她加入了一些限制性的规则,自此10级以上的法术再也不能被使用。到密斯拉完成了新魔法网的时候,她也只拯救了三座耐色瑞尔浮空城,其它的无一幸免。这三座城市是,安纳利尔(Anauria)、阿斯伦(Asram)与哈隆丹斯(Hlondath)。他们原来都位于极高的空域,才幸存到魔法网恢复之时。它们平安地降落在地面,居民们都在惊魂未定中,跌跌撞撞地从城里走出来。

魔法女神的牧师们,都被神明告知了卡尔萨斯的事情。有的是在梦中,有的则是通过祈祷时发生的幻像。密斯拉这样做的目的,是想告诫人们,防止今后再发生如此的惨剧。然而,卡尔萨斯依然被尊为有史以来,唯一一个靠着魔法达到神之境界的凡人,即便那只是昙花一现。
