【费伦的种族】种族:其他人类族群
« 于: 2019-01-20, 周日 10:43:24 »
其他人类族群Other Human Ethnic Groups
除了所谓的主要人类民族之外,费伦还有几十个不同的民族和族群。更多的民族已经消失在时间的迷雾中,留存的记忆只剩下一些散落的废墟,发霉的卷轴上写满的难以辨认的文字,或者可能是一个神秘的咒语或某个被遗忘的神祗的遗产。
Faerun is home to dozens of distinct nationalities and ethnicities beyond the so-called major human ethnic groups. Many more peoples have vanished into the mists of time, remembered only by a few scattered ruins, musty scrolls filled with indecipherable writings, or perhaps the legacy of an arcane spell or some forgotten god.
贝戴蛮族Human, Bedine
贝戴蛮族是安诺奥克沙漠(Anauroch)的游牧民族,他们在-339 DR耐色瑞尔沦陷后不久通过一个传送门从扎卡拉迁移过来,与少数耐色瑞尔的幸存者混居后形成了如今的贝戴蛮族。他们保留了他们祖先米丹尼人(Midani)的的口头语言,但失去了所有的书面语言的知识。几个世纪后,来自周围土地的商人找到了它们,并带给他们古贸易语的字母表。贝戴蛮族接纳了耐色瑞尔的众神,并继续崇拜阿塔(At’ar,即阿曼纳塔,一个死去的耐色瑞尔神祗,重生为洛山达)、以拉(Elah,即苏伦)、柯萨(Kozah,即塔烙斯)、纳’撒尔(N’asr,有人说是希瑞克,有人说是克兰沃)、山达柯尔(实际上是本莎芭)和许多小神。贝戴蛮族主要分布在安诺奥克沙漠的南部,被称为“剑”的河湾
The Bedine are nomads of Anauroch who migrated from Zakhara via a portal shortly after the fall of Netheril in –339 DR and intermingled with a handful of Netherese survivors. The Bedine retained the spoken language of their ancestors, Midani, but lost all knowledge of the written word. Centuries later, traders from the surrounding lands sought them out and introduced the alphabet of Thorass. The Bedine adopted the gods of the Netherese and continue to venerate At’ar (Amaunator, a dead Netherese deity reborn as Lathander), Elah (Selune), Kozah (Talos), N’asr (some say Cyric, some say Kelemvor), Shaundakul (actually Beshaba), and many little gods as well. The Bedine are found primarily in the southern, sandy reaches of Anauroch known as the Sword.
楚尔特人Human, Chultan
楚尔特丛林是高大、黑皮肤的人类的家园,数千年前,这些人类从马兹特克大陆东南、扎卡拉大陆西南、艾伯尔-托瑞尔南部海域的一个大岛,向北迁徙至楚尔特半岛。两千年前,楚尔特有很多的部落,而楚尔特部落和艾寿部落是最强大、最有影响力的部落。从1800年前到1500年前,楚尔特人和艾寿人之间爆发了一场血腥的战争,直到后者被消灭后才结束。艾寿人在向敌人释放了一种名为“阴影巨人”的巨大的邪恶生物后被摧毁——在被楚尔坦人的守军击退后,他们发现自己也遭到了攻击。在随后的几个世纪里,楚尔特人不受任何竞争对手的限制,将半岛上剩余的大部分部落同化成一个统一的楚尔坦文明,有着共同的语言和某种程度上统一的社会结构。
The Jungles of Chult are home to tall, ebony-skinned humans who migrated north to the Chultan peninsula millennia ago from a great island in the southern seas of Abeir-Toril southeast of Maztica and southwest of Zakhara. Two millennia ago, there were many tribes in Chult, although the Chultans and the Eshowe were the most powerful and influential. A bloody war raged between the Chultans and the Eshowe from 1800 years ago to 1500 years ago, ending only after the latter group was wiped out. The Eshowe were destroyed after unleashing a great evil known as the Shadow Giant on their enemies, only to see it turn on them after being repulsed by the Chultan defenders. In the centuries that followed, unchecked by any rivals, the Chultans assimilated most of the remaining tribes of the peninsula into a single Chultan culture, sharing a common language and somewhat uniform social structure.
说楚尔特语的楚尔特人在麦兹罗建立之前采用了龙语字母表,并将其传播到其他楚尔特的部落。楚尔特的主神是乌塔欧,据说几千年前带着楚尔特人的祖先来到现在他们称之为家的半岛,并在-2637 DR建立了伟大的城市麦兹罗。的残余艾寿人崇敬艾寿多(Eshowdow), 他就像乌塔欧的黑暗的影子,如今已被莎尔杀死。
Chultans, who speak Chultan, adopted the Draconic alphabet before the founding of Mezro and spread it to the other Chultan tribes. The primary god of the Chultans is Ubtao, who is said to have brought their ancestors to the peninsula they now call home thousands of years ago and to have founded the great city of Mezro in –2637 DR. The remnants of the Eshowe venerate Eshowdow, a dark shadow of Ubtao subverted by Shar.
都帕人Human, Durpari
都帕人是居住在都帕、依斯塔刚德(Estagund)、维多(Veldorn)和黄金瓦尔地区相对矮小、皮肤黝黑的居民。在伊玛斯卡帝国兴起之前,都帕人就一直居住在黄金海域。伊玛斯卡的陷落促使了都帕王国的陷落和之后两千年的野蛮。在这一时期,穆兰人经常屠杀或奴役都帕人部落。在-623 DR,伊玛斯卡陷落后的第一个都帕王国沿着黄金海域的海岸兴起,在纳斐尔和洛曼萨的威胁下,穆兰人对该地区的影响力逐渐减弱。除了在551 DR莱因哈尔一世统治期间被丹布雷斯军队短暂占领的依斯塔刚德外,都帕人一直保持着独立,在他们自身以及与他们的邻居之间进行贸易。
The Durpari are the relatively short, dark-skinned inhabitants of Durpar, Estagund, Veldorn, and Var the Golden. The Durpari have dwelt along the shores of the Golden Water since before the rise of the Imaskari empire. The fall of Imaskar precipitated the fall of the Durpari kingdoms and two millennia of barbarism. During this period, the Mulan of Mulhorand often slaughtered or enslaved the Durpari tribes. In –623 DR, the first Durpari kingdoms after the fall of Imaskar arose along the shores of the Golden Water, as Mulan influence over the region ebbed in the face of the burgeoning threat from Narfell and Raumathar. With the exception of Estagund, which was briefly conquered by the armies of Dambrath during the reign of Reinhar I in 551 DR, the Durpari have remained independent ever since, trading among themselves and with their neighbors.
都帕人说的是一种同名的语言——源自龙语、穆尔霍兰德语和罗里克语的混合语言——使用的是从西方传来的古贸易语字母表。都帕人崇拜个小神系,神系的诸神统称为阿达玛(Adama),其中被认为包括苏伦、欧格玛、贡德、托姆和渥金。
The Durpari speak a language of the same name—derived from a mixture of Draconic, Mulhorandi, and Rauric—and employ the Thorass alphabet brought back from the west. The Durpari venerate a small pantheon of deities known collectively as the Adama, and thought to include Selune, Oghma, Gond, Torm, and Waukeen.
弗尔克人Human, Ffolk
月影群岛的土著居民称自己为弗尔克人,尽管叫这个名字的原始人类部落只留下了很少的遗迹。今天,弗尔克人本质上是一个孤立的泰瑟尔人族群,是467 DR西央土大规模移民的后裔。早在泰瑟尔人到来之前,原始的弗尔克人已经承认月影群岛北部属于伊路斯坎人,然而,伊路斯坎人仍然被如今的弗尔克人当成侵略者。与他们的大陆表亲不同,泰瑟尔的弗尔克人说的是伊路斯坎语,但他们仍然使用古贸易语文字。他们受到强大的德鲁伊教传统的统治。
The native inhabitants of the Moonshae Isles call themselves the Ffolk, although only faint vestiges of the original human tribes who bore that name still remain. Today, the Ffolk are essentially an isolated group of Tethyrians, descended from a large wave of immigration from the Western Heartlands in 467 DR. The original Ffolk had already conceded the northern Moonshae isles to the Illuskans centuries before the arrival of the Tethyrians, yet the Illuskans are still considered the invaders by the Ffolk. Unlike their mainland cousins, the Tethyrian Ffolk speak Illuskan, but they still employ the Thorass script. They are governed by a strong druidical tradition.
Human, Gur
格尔人,也被称为“苏伦的孩子”或“公路上的民族”,是西央土的游牧民族。大多数格尔人都是大家庭的成员,他们一起从一个定居点到另一个定居点,住在大篷车里,贩卖廉价的旧衣服,做零工为生。其他人则定居在如博德之门、艾尔托瑞尔(Elturel)和伊里亚伯这样的城市中最贫穷的地区,在那里,他们在古老的偏见面前挣扎求生。在少数研究格尔文化的学者眼中,格尔人被认为主要是雷瑟曼人的后裔。虽然他们肯定与其他民族的成员混居在一起,但他们与当地的雷瑟曼人非常相似。格尔游牧部落传说的碎片最早可以追溯到立石时期,他们被认为在洛曼萨和纳斐尔之间灾难性的战争期间或之后逃离了他们古老的家园。
The Gurs, also known as “Selune’s Children” or “the people of the highway,” are the nomads of the Western Heartlands. Most Gurs are members of extended family groups that travel together from settlement to settlement in motley caravans selling cheap cast-offs and working odd jobs. Others have settled in the poorest quarters of cities such as Baldur’s Gate, Elturel, and Irieabor, where they struggle to survive in the face of ancient prejudices. Among those few scholars who have studied their culture, the Gurs are thought to be primarily of Rashemi descent. Although they have certainly intermingled with members of other ethnic groups, they strongly resemble the natives of Rashemen. As fragments of lore dating back to the erection of the Standing Stone refer to the nomadic Gurs, it is thought that they fled their ancient homeland during or immediately after the cataclysmic battle between Raumathar and Narfell.
对荣誉着迷的格尔人相互之间说古雷瑟曼方言,但会使用古贸易语字母表与用琼达斯语与非格尔人交谈。许多苏伦的孩子都是天赋异禀的预言家,他们从事预言和占卜的工作。除了月亮女神,许多格尔的预言家倾向于崇拜萨弗拉斯。他们隐秘的信仰可能在很大程度上解释了即使萨弗拉斯被监禁多年对他的信仰仍然持续存在。
Speakers of an ancient dialect of Rashemi among themselves, the honor-obsessed Gurs employ the Thorass alphabet and speak Chondathan with non-Gurs. Many of Selune’s Children are unusually gifted oracles and find employment as soothsayers and diviners. In addition to the goddess of the moon, many prophetically inclined Gurs venerate Savras. Their secretive faith may in large part account for the continued survival of his faith during his many years of imprisonment.
哈鲁阿人Human, Halruaan
在古老的耐色瑞尔帝国覆灭期间,这片土地上的大多数居民为了远离费林魔葵的法术,逃往西部并定居在北地。但是,在大法师洛马克(Raumark)的带领下,耐色瑞尔的一些人乘坐大型的飞艇逃到了遥远的南方。洛马克的追随者定居在隐蔽的盆地哈鲁阿,与当地人口较少的塔沙拉尔人(Tashalan)混居在一起。他们在那里建立了法师统治的哈鲁阿王国,决心不再重蹈祖先的覆辙。在哈鲁阿,耐色瑞尔文化的痕迹很明显,包括曾经使耐色瑞尔语和古贸易语的曾使用的龙语字母表。哈鲁阿语是古代耐色瑞尔语的一种现代方言。然而,对耐色瑞尔神系的崇拜已逐渐演变为对如密斯特拉、阿祖斯、较少的还有萨弗拉斯,以及最近的维沙伦的神祗的崇拜。
During the fall of the ancient empire of Netheril, most of the land’s inhabitants fled west from the spells of the phaerimm, settling the North. But some of Netheril’s folk, led by the archwizard Raumark, fled far to the south by means of great flying ships. Raumark’s followers settled the sheltered basin of Halruaa, intermingling with the small population of native Tashalans in the region. There they founded the wizard-ruled realm of Halruaa, determined not to repeat the mistakes of their ancestors. Traces of Netherese culture are strong in Halruaa, including the Draconic alphabet once employed by speakers of Netherese and Loross. The Halruaan tongue is simply a modern dialect of ancient Netherese. However, worship of the Netherese pantheon has gradually evolved into the veneration of deities such as Mystra and Azuth, to a much lesser extent Savras, and, recently, Velsharoon.
在哈鲁阿人的早期历史中,一小群崇拜幻象女神莱拉的持不同政见者向西迁移到了遥远的宁布拉岛。虽然这两个王国都热爱魔法且使用哈鲁阿语,但两国人民之间的交流却少之又少。莱拉教会在混乱之年以前是宁布拉的国教,但目前在飞行狩猎之地的宗教崇拜现状尚不清楚。
Early in Halruaa’s history, a small band of dissidents who venerated Leira, goddess of illusions, migrated westward to the distant island of Nimbral. Although the two realms share a love of magic and the Halruaan tongue, interactions between the two peoples are few and far between. The church of Leira was the state religion of Nimbral before the Time of Troubles, but the current state of religious worship in the Land of the Flying Hunt is unknown.
伊玛斯卡人Human, Imaskari
伊玛斯卡里人是传说中现在被落湮沙漠和紫尘平原吞噬的土地上的居民。在穆兰人的诽谤下,伊玛斯卡的创造者们是强大的法师,他们建造了通往其他世界的大门,以便从遥远的星球上带走成千上万的奴隶。除了穆兰人选择为他们的古代主人保存的之外,人们对伊玛斯卡人知之甚少。伊玛斯卡帝国一度统治着从无尽荒原到黄金海域,从阿兰勃内海到卡拉-图的边界的领土。紫色尘土平原上的古老遗迹可能是伊玛斯卡人城市的遗迹。
The Imaskari are the legendary inhabitants of the lands now swallowed by the Raurin Desert and the Plains of the Purple Dust. Vilified by the Mulan, the artificers of Imaskar were mighty wizards who built great portals to other worlds in order to carry off thousands of slaves from distant planes. Little is known of the Imaskari, except what the Mulan chose to preserve of their ancient masters. At one point the Imaskari Empire held sway from the Endless Wastes to the Golden Water and from the Alamber Sea to the very frontiers of Kara-Tur. Ruins of tremendous antiquity in the Plains of Purple Dust may be the remains of Imaskari cities.
伊玛斯卡人讲的是鲁苏姆语(Roushoum),是各种语言,如都帕语、罗里克语(查森塔语、穆尔霍兰德语和恩瑟语)、洛曼维兰语和各种图坎方言。伊玛斯卡语字母表已经完全废弃,只在一些古代文物和伊玛斯卡人遗址的墙壁上被发现过。
The Imaskari spoke Roushoum, a precursor of such varied tongues as Durpari, the Rauric family (Chessentan, Mulhorani, and Untheric), Raumvira, and the various Tuigan dialects. The Imaskari alphabet has wholly fallen out of use, and is only found inscribed on a few ancient artifacts and the walls of Imaskari ruins.
兰檀人Human, Lantanna
兰檀人居住在楚尔特半岛西北海岸的兰檀、苏吉(Suj)和奥里尔(Orlil)的群岛。他们以绿色的大眼睛,铜色头发,羊皮纸色皮肤著称,除了在商船上,兰檀群岛以外的地方很少能见到他们。他们沿着无痕之海的海岸北至无冬城,沿光耀之海东至拉帕利亚,沿着巨海东至哈鲁阿进行贸易。大多数兰檀人的故乡是兰檀岛的国度,以其声称拥有最大的岛屿而命名。
The Lantanna inhabit the isles of Lantan, Suj, and Orlil off the northwest coast of the Chultan peninsula. Known for their large green eyes, copper hair, and parchment-colored skin, the Lantanna are rarely encountered outside their native isles except aboard merchant ships. They trade along the shores of the Trackless Sea as far north as Neverwinter, the Shining Sea as far east as Lapaliiya, and the Great Sea as far east as Halruaa. The homeland of most Lantanna is the nation of Lantan, named for the largest island it claims.
兰檀人以兰檀语为母语,使用了从耐色瑞尔流传下来的大多数文化中使用的龙语字母表。由于人们认为兰檀人并不是古代耐色瑞尔的后裔,一些学者怀疑早期的哈鲁阿人人或宁布拉商人将这种字母表引入了兰檀。兰檀的国教是对贡德的信仰,很多人认为是兰檀人将这位奇迹制造者引入了费伦神系。
Speakers of Lantanese, the Lantanna employ the Draconic alphabet used by most cultures descended from Netheril. As the Lantanna are not believed to be in any way descended from ancient Netheril, some scholars suspect that early Halruaan or Nimbrali traders introduced this alphabet to the Lantanna. The state religion of Lantan is the faith of Gond, and many believe that the Lantanna introduced the Wondermaker into the Faerunian pantheon.
马兹特克人Human, Maztican
马兹特克大陆是一个遥远的地方,位于费伦以西,甚至超越了传说中的永聚岛。来自安姆的泰瑟尔人探险家在十多年前发现了马兹特克大陆,而现在在安姆、博德之门和深水城发现的马兹特克人移民数量非常少。费伦人把马兹特克的所有居民都归为一个群体,但事实上在这片土地上已知的人类民族有七个:阿祖珀希(Azuposi)、狗族(Dog People)、绿色族裔(Green Folk)、 麦特赫尔(Metahel)、纳赫帕卡(Nahopaca)、尼克萨拉(Nexalan)和派伊特(Payit)。

Maztica is a far-off land that lies west of Faerun, beyond even fabled Evermeet. Tethyrian explorers from Amn discovered Maztica just over a decade ago, and Maztican immigrants are now found in very small numbers in Amn, Baldur’s Gate, and Waterdeep. Faerunians lump all inhabitants of Maztica into one group, but in truth there are seven known human ethnicities in that land: the Azuposi, the Dog People, the Green Folk, the Metahel, the Nahopaca, the Nexalans, and the Payits.
尼克萨拉是唯一一个向东迁移到费伦的民族,所以所有居住在费伦的马兹特克人都说尼克萨拉语,这是帕兹拉克(Pezelac), 华克利(Huacli),库塔卡(Kultaka)和尼克萨尔(Nexal)民族的语言。尼克萨拉语是用龙语字母表写成的。尼克萨拉人相对来说比较高,有着修长、瘦削的身体和无须、棱角分明的脸。尼克萨拉人的肤色通常是红青铜色。
The Nexalans are the only group to have journeyed east to Faerun, so all Faerun-dwelling Mazticans are speakers of Nexalan, the language of the nations of Pezelac, Huacli, Kultaka, and Nexal. The Nexalan tongue is written using the Draconic alphabet. Nexalans are relatively tall, with long, lean physiques and beardless, angular faces. Nexalans are generally reddishbronze of hue.
纳尔人Human, Nar
纳尔人是纳斐尔巨大灾难幸存者的后裔,由20多个游牧部落组成,他们居住在巨人尖顶山脉以东和罗林斯森林以北的干旱草原上。关于他们历史的更多细节可以在达玛拉人和雷瑟曼人的描述中找到。
Descended from the survivors of Narfell’s cataclysmic destruction, the Nars consist of twenty or more nomadic tribes that inhabit the dry grasslands east of the Giantspire Mountains and north of the Rawlinswood. Further details of their history may be found in the descriptions of the Damarans and the Rashemi.
纳尔人矮而结实,皮肤呈深色,有一头乌黑的直发,通常垂至肩部。他们是费伦最优秀的骑手,也是传说中著名的纳尔重马的饲养者。虽然纳尔人曾经说过纳斐尔语——一种被遗忘的语言,深受深渊语的影响——但纳尔人现在说达玛拉语,这个语言在极东海湾附近的土地上和通用语一样被普遍使用。由于大多数纳尔人可以被认为是野蛮人,很少有人有读写能力,但那些使用达玛拉语的人会写矮人文字。
Nars are short and stocky, with darkly tanned skin tones and straight, raven black hair, usually worn to the shoulders. They are some of the finest horsemen in Faerun, and famed breeders of the legendary Nar heavy horse. Although they once spoke Narfelli, a forgotten tongue strongly influenced by Abyssal, the Nars now speak the Damaran tongue common to lands near the Easting Reach as well as a smattering of Common. As most Nars can be considered barbarians, few can read or write, but those that do employ the Dethek runes adopted by speakers of Damaran.
耐瑟瑞尔人Human, Netherese
也许在费伦建立古代文明中的人类民族中,最著名和最有影响力的是古耐色瑞尔的耐色瑞尔人。耐色瑞尔是在-3859 DR由居住在狭海海岸的深色头发、白皙皮肤的人类建立的。在它的鼎盛时期,耐色瑞尔包括了现在埋在安诺奥克沙漠下的所有土地,殖民地向西延伸到无痕之海,在这遥远的土地之上有着许多的浮空城。狭海的城市被称为低等耐色瑞尔,而云端上的文明被称为高等耐色瑞尔,以力量强大的魔法而闻名。
Perhaps the best-known and most influential of the humans who built Faerun’s ancient civilizations were the Netherese of ancient Netheril. Netheril was founded in –3859 DR by darkhaired, fair-skinned humans who dwelt along the shores of the Narrow Sea, a body of water now lost beneath the sands of Anauroch. At its height, Netheril encompassed all the lands now buried beneath Anauroch, with colonies stretching westward to the Trackless Sea, and floating cities high above distant lands. The cities of the Narrow Sea came to be known as Low Netheril, while the civilization of the clouds was known as High Netheril, famous for magic of surpassing power.
虽然所有的耐色瑞尔语言都使用龙语字母表,低等耐色瑞尔和高等耐色瑞尔的平民说耐色瑞尔语,而高等耐色瑞尔的贵族说古贸易语语。这两个群体崇拜同一个神系,包括神阿曼纳塔(洛山达),迦纳斯(裳提亚), 耶格,柯萨(塔烙斯),摩安多, 密斯瑞尔(密斯特拉),苏伦,莎尔和塔哥斯(卡瑞苟斯)。在低等耐色瑞尔,牧师的影响力远远超过了那些在浮空城里的奥术师。
Although all Netherese used the Draconic alphabet, the language of Low Netheril, and the commoners of High Netheril was Netherese, while the nobles of High Netheril spoke Loross. Both groups venerated the same pantheon, which included gods such as Amaunator (Lathander), Jannath (Chauntea), Jergal, Kozah (Talos), Moander, Mystryl (Mystra), Selune, Shar, and Targus (Garagos). The clergy were far more influential in Low Netheril than in the arcanists’ soaring cities.
在-339 DR,在卡苏斯摧毁密斯特拉之后,高等耐色瑞尔崩溃了,除了四个高等耐色瑞尔的古代浮空城外,其他所有的城市都被摧毁了。其中三个——埃诺瑞亚(Anauria),埃斯伦(Asram),以及哈伦达斯(Hlondath)——在密斯特拉的影响下获救,并安全降落在现在被称为荒漠边境山脉(Desertsedge Mountains)的西部,在那里他们建立了同名的地表王国。埃斯伦在-33 DR毁灭于女神塔洛娜传播的瘟疫。埃诺瑞亚在111 DR落入兽人部落手中,而哈伦达斯在329 DR被安诺奥克沙漠吞噬并被遗弃。这些东部的耐色瑞尔幸存者国度的居民最终向南迁移到科米尔,向东迁移到月海地区。他们的后代大多被吸收到蓬勃发展的东央土的琼达斯文化中,现在被认为是北琼达斯人或瓦萨人。
High Netheril collapsed after Karsus destroyed Mystra in –339 DR, and all but four of High Netheril’s ancient floating cities were destroyed. Three of those—Anauria, Asram, and Hlondath—were saved by the influence of Mystra and landed safely just west of what are now known as the Desertsedge Mountains, where they founded surface realms of the same names. Asram fell victim to a plague spread by the goddess Talona in –33 DR. Anauria fell to an orc horde in 111 DR, and Hlondath was consumed by the sands of Anauroch and abandoned in 329 DR. Inhabitants of these eastern “Netherese survivor states” eventually migrated south into Cormyr and east into the Moonsea region. Their descendants were largely absorbed into the burgeoning Chondathan culture of the eastern Heartlands and are now accounted as northern Chondathans or Vaasans.
耐色瑞尔城的陷落与卡尔苏斯的愚蠢关系不大,而与费林魔葵不断侵蚀生命的法术有关。随着沙漠化的加剧,大约从公元-461 DR开始,低等耐色瑞尔的大部分居民逐渐向西迁移。大多数学者将向西迁移的耐色瑞尔移民分为两类。西南方的部族在蜿蜒河(Winding Water)和冲萨河(River Chionthar)的河谷中建立了领地,而西北方的部族则在蛮荒边境上形成了分散的孤立城邦。在这两个分支的后裔中几乎没有留下耐色瑞尔文化的证据,因为这两个族群后来都被来自大洋彼岸的移民(伊路斯坎人)或该地区的土著部落(泰瑟尔人)所吞并。
The fall of Low Netheril had less to do with Karsus’s Folly and more to do with the ever-encroaching lifedrain spells of the phaerimm. As the pace of desertification increased, starting around –461 DR, most of the inhabitants of Low Netheril gradually migrated westward. Most scholars divide the westwardbound Netherese migrants into two groups. The southwestern group founded realms in the river valleys of the Winding Water and the River Chionthar, while the northwestern branch formed isolated city-states scattered across the Savage Frontier. Little evidence of Netherese culture remains among the descendants of either branch, for both groups were later subsumed by immigrants from across the sea to the west (the Illuskans) or by the native tribes of the region (the Tethyrians).
据信,今天仍有四个纯种耐色瑞尔人的小族群存活。远海沼泽(Farsea Marshes)的沼泽猎人被认为是埃诺瑞亚人的后代,他们从未被科米尔的琼达斯居民所吸收。图恩平原的图拉野蛮人被认为是南部耐色瑞尔的伦格斯(Rengarth)野蛮人(低等耐色瑞尔人)的后裔。月海以北的游牧野蛮人被认为是耐色瑞尔北部安格特(Angardt)野蛮人(也是低等耐色瑞尔人的表亲)的后裔。最后,第四个高等耐色瑞尔浮空城,被称为阴魂城,通过进入阴影位面在耐色瑞尔的陷落中幸存了下来。在1372 DR,在与阴影平面中的马劳格瑞姆进行了几代人的战争之后,阴魂城再次出现。现在阴魂城呆在幽影海(Shadow Sea)的北岸,那里曾经是一片干渴沙洲(Shoal of Thirst)。
Four small groups of pureblooded Netherese are believed to survive in the present day. The Marsh Drovers of the Farsea Marshes are thought to be descendants of Anauria who were never absorbed by the Chondathan inhabitants of Cormyr. The Tunlar barbarians of the Plains of Tun are believed to be descendants of the Rengarth barbarians (cousins of the Low Netherese) of southern Netheril. The nomadic barbarians of the Ride north of the Moonsea are believed to be descendants of the Angardt barbarians of northern Netheril (also cousins of the Low Netherese). Finally, the fourth floating city of High Netheril, known as Shade, survived the fall of Netheril by vanishing into the Plane of Shadow. Shade reappeared in 1372 DR, after generations of warfare with the malaugrym in the shadowplane. Shade now rests on the northern shore of the Shadow Sea, which was once the Shoal of Thirst.
洛曼维兰人Human, Raumviran
洛曼维兰人是伟大的洛曼萨帝国的居民,他们几乎没有保留以前的荣耀。他们的历史在达玛拉人和雷瑟曼人中有描述。
Descended from the inhabitants of the great empire of Raumathar, the Raumvirans retain little of their former glory. Their history is described under the Damaran and Rashemi ethnic groups.
如今,洛曼维兰人聚集在雾之湖的岸边和阿默瑞尔城。洛曼维兰人与雷瑟曼人在身体上非常相似,这表明这两个族群之间有着数百年的密切联系。虽然洛曼维兰人的平均身高比他们的西方邻居要高,但他们通常也很结实,肌肉发达,有着黑色的眼睛和浓密的黑发。洛曼维兰人的肤色通常比雷瑟曼人更浅,这是索萨尔人的血统的证据,这可以追溯到他们长期衰落的帝国的鼎盛时期。
In the present day, Raumvirans are concentrated along the shores of the Lake of Mists and the city of Almorel. Physically, Raumvirans bear a close resemblance to the Rashemi, indicative of centuries of close ties between the two groups. Although taller on average than their western neighbors, the Raumvirans are also generally stout and muscular, with dark eyes and thick black hair. Raumvirans are generally of lighter hue than the Rashemi, evidence of significant Sossrim heritage dating back to the height of their long-fallen empire.
这个民族的成员说洛曼维兰语,这是一种与雷瑟曼语、矮人语和北部伊玛斯卡语有密切关系的语言。洛曼维兰语使用了在洛曼萨建立之前由火峰(Firepeaks)的元祖(Siremun)矮人教给他们的矮人符文字母表,火峰是雾之湖东边的山脉。
Members of this ethnic group speak Raumvira, a tongue closely related to Rashemi, Dwarven, and a northern dialect of Imaskari. Raumvirans employ an alphabet of Dethek runes taught to them before the founding of Raumathar by the Siremun dwarves of the Firepeaks, a range of mountains to the east of the Lake of Mists.
夏亚人Human, Shaaran
夏亚的草原是长着长脸,黄皮肤的游牧部落的家园。在夏恩帝国的时代,东部草原的夏亚人被卡林杉的军队所征服,但夏恩帝国崩溃后夏亚人又恢复了游牧的生活方式,而那些住在光耀之海和蒸汽湖沿岸的夏亚人在城市定居,并建立了拉帕利亚和不断变化的边境王国等国度。今天,西至卡林杉,北至维洪海岸都发现了夏亚人。赛斯派茨(Sespech)的居民大部分是几个世纪前被带到北方,在扎姆达斯军队中服役的夏亚人的后裔。
The grasslands of the Shaar are home to nomadic tribes of longfaced, yellow-skinned humans. Conquered by the armies of Calimshan at the height of the Shoon Empire, the Shaarans of the eastern grasslands reverted to their nomadic ways once the Shoon Empire collapsed, while those who dwelt along the shores of the Shining Sea and the Lake of Steam settled in cities and founded such realms as Lapaliiya and the ever-changing Border Kingdoms. Today, Shaarans are found as far west as Calimshan and as far north as the Vilhon Reach. The inhabitants of Sespech are largely of Shaaran descent, having been brought north to serve in Jhaamdath’s armies centuries ago.
夏亚人说夏亚语并使用矮人符文的字母表,这是在夏恩帝国崛起之前,从大裂谷的金矮人商人那里学来的。如果曾经有过一个夏亚神系,那么它在很久以前就被更强大的扎姆达斯人和卡林杉人的文化所包容。在被更强大的邻国同化之前,几乎没有关于夏亚文明的记录,因为夏亚人长期以来一直保持着游牧的生活方式和口述历史。
Speakers of Shaaran employ an alphabet of Dethek runes, adopted from the gold dwarf traders of the Great Rift before the rise of the Shoon Empire. If there ever was a Shaaran pantheon, it was long ago subsumed by the more powerful Jhamdaathan and Calishite cultures. Little record exists of Shaaran culture before it was assimilated by its more powerful neighbors, for the Shaarans have long maintained a nomadic way of life and an oral history.
受龙人Human, Shou
受龙人只是遥远的卡拉-图大陆众多的人类族群之一,但他们是人数最多,最强大的族群。他们的外观与土坎人相似,有黄铜色的皮肤,黑色的头发和宽而平的脸部特征。在鼎盛时期,受龙帝国向西一直延伸到亮星湖(Brightstar Lake)的东岸。如今,受龙人商人很少出现在参法以西,尽管他们的皇帝最近在艾凡索城(Elversult)建立了大使馆,并利用了在坠星海某处打开的船只大小的传送门。受龙人崇拜被称为天庭的众神,并用龙语的字母表来代表受龙语。
The Shou are but one of many human ethnic groups in far-off Kara-Tur, albeit the most numerous and powerful. Similar in appearance to the Tuigan, they are yellowish-bronze in hue, with black hair and broad, flat features. At its height, the Shou empire extended as far west as the eastern shore of Brightstar Lake. Today, Shou traders are rarely seen west of Semphar, although their emperor has recently established an embassy in Elversult and made use of a ship-size portal that opens somewhere on the Sea of Fallen Stars. The Shou worship a pantheon of deities known as the Celestial Bureaucracy and employ the Draconic alphabet to represent the Shou language.
索萨尔人Human, Sossrim
索萨尔人居住在遥远的索萨尔,这是一块位于大冰川和大冰海之间的冻土。索萨尔人的皮肤苍白得像雪,头发像冰柱一样银光闪闪,他们已经完全适应了极地的环境。索萨尔人说达玛拉语,使用矮人符文文字。他们被认为崇拜费伦神系的众神,尽管对欧吕尔相对温和的一面的崇拜似乎占了主导地位。
The Sossrims are the inhabitants of distant Sossal, a frozen land that lies between the Great Glacier and the Great Ice Sea. With skin as pallid as snow and hair with the fine, silver tint of an icicle, the Sossrims have completely adapted to their arctic environment. Sossrims speak Damaran and use the Dethek runes. They are believed to venerate the gods of the Faerunian pantheon, although the worship of a relatively benign aspect of Auril seems to be predominant.
在兽人之门战争中,索萨尔人与洛曼维兰人和雷瑟曼人并肩作战。在格乌什的追随者被打败后,索萨尔人撤退到他们的北方土地,在那里他们建立了孤立的索萨尔王国。在洛曼萨帝国的鼎盛时期,索萨尔人曾一度受洛曼维兰人的统治,但除此之外,他们一直保持着独立。在大冰川消退之前,索萨尔人商人向南甚至出现在了因布图的北部,但现在他们很少冒险越过瓦萨或达玛拉、纳斐尔和雷瑟曼的北部边界。
During the Orcgate Wars, the Sossrims fought in the armies of Mulhorand alongside the Raumvirans and the Rashemi. After the followers of Gruumsh were defeated, the Sossrims retreated to their northern lands, where they established the isolated kingdom of Sossal. The Sossrims briefly fell under the sway of Raumathar at the height of that empire, but they have otherwise retained their independence. Before the retreat of the Great Glacier, Sossrim traders were seen as far south as northern Impiltur, but now they rarely venture beyond Vaasa or the northern reaches of Damara, Narfell, and Rashemen.
塔菲尔人Human, Talfir
早在王冠战争时期,精灵们的著作就提到了在桑塔·欧斯瑞尔是大森林的中心地带有一个黑头发、皮肤白皙的人类部落。塔菲尔人是西央土地带冲萨河河谷的原始人类居民。塔菲尔语是一种基于龙语字母表的失传已久的人类语言,它的使用者塔菲尔人在一千年前逐渐消失,他们的文化被来自低等耐瑟瑞尔人的难民、来自南方的卡林杉人定居者和来自巨龙海岸的琼达斯人定居者所淹没。据信,首先受到塔菲尔人崇拜的是费伦神系中的几个神,包括击败了耐色瑞尔战神的坦帕斯。
Elven writings dating back to the Crown Wars mention a darkhaired, fair-skinned human tribe in the heart of the great forest of Shantel Othreier. The Talfir were the original human inhabitants of the Chionthar river valley in the Western Heartlands. Speakers of Talfiric, a long-lost human tongue based on the Draconic alphabet, the Talfir gradually disappeared over a thousand years ago, their culture overwhelmed by refugees from Low Netheril, Calishite settlers from the south, and Chondathan settlers from the Dragon Coast. Several deities of the Faerunian pantheon are believed to have first been worshiped by the Talfir, including Tempus, who vanquished the Netherese god of war.
塔菲尔人几乎没有留下任何遗迹或手工艺品,尽管伊里亚伯位于塔菲尔国王的古墓顶上,这位国王被称为“阴影之王维尔凯斯”,掌握了阴影魔法。塔利斯(Talis),塔菲尔的一座被毁灭的城市,坐落在触及之河(River Reaching)岸边,一直延伸到河岸森林深处的废墟中。
The Talfir left little in the way of ruins or artifacts, although Irieabor lies atop the ancient crypt of the Talfir monarch known as Verraketh the Shadowking, who mastered shadow magic. Talis, a ruined city of the Talfir, lies in ruins along the banks of the River Reaching in the depths of the Reaching Woods.
塔沙拉尔人Human, Tashalan
数千年前楚尔特半岛上的人类部落,即现在的塔沙拉尔人,被创造者种族蜥蜴人所奴役着。就像所有的事情一样,蜥蜴人文明最终崩溃了,他们的人类奴隶赢得了自由。然而,这个黑头发,橄榄色皮肤人种的许多成员开始崇拜他们曾经服务过的蛇,这导致了蛇人族的兴起。然而,另一些人却背离了他们黑暗主人,寻求在光耀之海和巨海之间的半岛上建立自己的王国。
Uncounted thousands of years ago, the human tribes of the Chultan peninsula, now known as the Tashalans, were enslaved by the saurian Creator Race. As with all things, the saurian civilization eventually collapsed and their human slaves won their freedom. However, many members of this black-haired, oliveskinned race took to venerating the snakes they once served, leading to the rise of the yuan-ti. Others, however, turned away from their dark masters, seeking to forge their own realms on the peninsula between the Shining Sea and the Great Sea.
今天的塔沙拉尔人文明主要局限于楚尔特半岛中部和塞尔萨特(Tharsult)岛。几个世纪以来,楚尔特部落将塔沙拉尔人赶出了楚尔特的丛林,哈鲁阿人和丹布雷斯的卓尔精灵同化了这些土地上的塔沙拉尔土著的文明,蛇人族奴役了那些对梅海尔和黑森林的控制权提出了质疑的塔拉沙尔人。大多数塔沙拉尔人都是塔萨拉或萨玛拉克(Samarach)、廷朵尔(Thindol)或塞尔萨特王国的原住民。塔沙拉尔商人可以在卡林杉、蒸汽湖沿岸的城市、拉帕利亚、哈鲁阿、丹布雷斯和鲁伦找到。
Today Tashalan culture is largely confined to the middle of the Chultan peninsula and the isle of Tharsult. Over the centuries the Chultan tribes drove the Tashalans out of the Jungles of Chult, the Halruaans and Dambrathan drow assimilated the native Tashalan cultures of those lands, and the yuan-ti enslaved those Tashalans who contested their control of the Mhair and Black Jungles. Most Tashalans are natives of Tashalar or the realms of Samarach, Thindol, or Tharsult. Tashalan traders may be found in Calimshan, cities on the shore of the Lake of Steam, and Lapaliiya, as well as Halruaa, Dambrath, and Luiren.
塔沙拉尔人说塔沙拉尔语,使用矮人文字母表。他们崇拜费伦神系和蛇人诸神,其中塔洛娜和萨弗拉斯的追随者最为突出。
Tashalans speak Tashalan and employ the Dethek alphabet. They venerate both the Faerunian pantheon and the gods of the yuan-ti, with the followers of Talona and Savras being most prominent.
图坎人Human, Tuigan
无尽荒野和夸亚沙漠(Quoya Desert)的游牧部落被称为“图坎”,尽管这个名字实际上只是在费伦和卡拉-图大陆之间的荒原上游荡的15个主要部落之一。这些部落成员与卡拉-图的居民关系密切,他们的肤色是黄铜色的,头发是黑色的,面部宽而平。每个部落都有自己的方言,这些方言在不同程度上来自古老的帝国——受龙、洛曼维兰和伊玛斯卡,每一个帝国都在鼎盛时期征服或扩大了它对无尽荒野的影响。无尽荒野的部落很久以前就采用了商人们沿黄金之路东行到卡拉-图的古贸易语字母表。这些部落被认为崇拜阿卡迪,风元素之神,和谷蓝巴,土元素之神,以及一些野兽图腾(马和老虎)。
The nomadic tribes of the Endless Wastes and the Quoya Desert are known as the Tuigan, although that name is actually the name of but one of fifteen major tribes who wander the wasteland between Faerun and Kara-Tur. Closely related to the inhabitants of Kara-Tur, tribal members are yellowish-bronze in hue, with black hair and broad, flat features. Each tribe has its own dialect, derived in varying degrees from the old empires of Shou, Raumvira, and Imaskari, each of which conquered or extended its influence over the Endless Wastes at its height. The tribes of the Endless Wastes adopted the alphabet of Thorass from traders passing eastwards along the Golden Way to Kara-Tur long ago. The tribes are believed to worship Akadi, the elemental deity of air, and Grumbar, the elemental deity of earth, as well as several beast totems (Horse and Tiger).
自1360 DR图坎部落被打败以来,图坎部落的少量成员已经在西部地区的参法、塞尔、塞斯克、纳斐尔和雷瑟曼等地发现了。费伦的居民最熟悉的图坎人就是这群移民。
Since the defeat of the great Tuigan horde in 1360 DR, members of the Tuigan tribe have been found in small numbers in western lands such as Semphar, Thay, Thesk, Narfell, and Rashemen. It is this group of immigrants who are best known to the inhabitants of Faerun.
图拉米人Human, Turami
在-2488 DR,在他们的神促成了伊玛斯卡帝国的覆灭之后,被称为穆兰人的奴隶种族向西迁移到了阿兰勃内海的海岸。这种迁移反过来又取代了沿着坠星海的南部海岸向西迁移,直到到达现在被称为突米斯的海岸盆地的当地的图拉米人。图拉米人通常身材高大,肌肉发达,皮肤呈深红褐色,面部扁平,头发卷曲,图拉米人是突米斯的主要居民,尽管他们在查森塔, 恩瑟和穆尔霍兰德也有少数人口。
After their gods precipitated the fall of the Imaskari Empire in –2488 DR, the slave-race known as the Mulan migrated westward to the shores of the Alamber Sea. This migration in turn displaced the native Turami, who were driven westward along the southern coast of the Sea of Fallen Stars until they reached the coastal basin now known as Turmish. Generally tall and muscular, with dark mahogany skin, flat faces, and curly hair, the Turami are the primary inhabitants of Turmish, although they form minority populations in Chessenta, Unther, and Mulhorand as well.
图拉米人说图拉米语,他们采用了来自卡林杉和琼达斯商人的古贸易语字母表。没有任何历史证据表明曾经有一个不同于今天图拉米人普遍崇拜的费伦神系的图拉米神系存在,但这也不意味着不存在。突米斯是大多数图拉米人的家园,其历史可以追溯到-37 DR阿拉贡城(Alaghon)的建立。
Speakers of Turmic, the Turami adopted the Thorass alphabet from Calishite and Chondathan traders. No historical evidence exists suggesting the existence of a Turami pantheon distinct from the Faerunian pantheon commonly venerated today, although that does not mean that one did not exist. Turmish, the homeland of most Turami, dates back to the founding of Alaghon in –37 DR.
乌鲁提欧人Human, Ulutiun
虽然乌鲁提欧人长期居住在费伦的极地地区,但这些矮小、黑发、宽脸、浅棕色皮肤的人类实际上是数千年前从卡拉-图大陆的北部地区向西穿越极地冰盖的移民。乌鲁提欧人被分为两大类,他们说乌鲁提欧语,这种语言在最近几个世纪才出现了以古贸易语字母表为基础的书写形式。
Although the Ulutiuns have long inhabited the polar reaches of Faerun, these short, dark-haired, broad-faced humans with lightbrown skin are actually migrants from the northern reaches of Kara-Tur who moved westward across the polar icecap millennia ago. Speakers of Uluik, a tongue that only in recent centuries acquired a written form based on the Thorass alphabet, the Ulutiuns are divided into two major groups.
浮冰海(Sea of Moving Ice)、冰峰(Ice Peak)和寒流(Cold Run,剑湾最北端的冰封河岸)是最西端的乌鲁提欧冰猎人的家园。据信早在耐色瑞尔人和伊路斯坎人到来之前,冰猎人崇拜自然精魄,由萨满人领导,这与好战的乌斯伽部落和冰风谷的野蛮人没什么不同。在东部,大冰川是大部分乌鲁提欧人的家园,包括尤鲁逊人(Iulutiun)、安古鲁逊人(Angulutiuns)和库鲁逊人(Nakulutiuns)。他们喜欢革甲和如战斧、贡那刻投镖器(garnok,类似于标枪投掷器,但被用来增加飞镖有效射程)、手斧、鱼叉、伊阿克刀(iuak,是一种类似于大砍刀的骨制刃器,约2英尺长、6英寸宽)、轻镐、渔网、瑞提克杆(ritiiks,是一种6英尺长的骨杆,在其一头的末端有着一个尖锐和钩刺)、短弓、投掷斧和三叉戟武器。
The Sea of Moving Ice, the Ice Peak, and the Cold Run (as the icy reaches of the northernmost Sword Coast are sometimes known) are home to the Ice Hunters, the westernmost group of Ulutiuns. Believed to predate the arrival of both the Netherese and the Illuskans, the Ice Hunters venerate nature spirits and are led by shamans, not unlike the more warlike Uthgardt tribes and the barbarians of Icewind Dale. In the east, the Great Glacier is home to the majority of Ulutiuns, including the Iulutiuns, the Angulutiuns, and the Nakulutiuns. They favor hide armor and weapons such as battleaxes, garnoks, hand axes, harpoons, iuaks, light picks, nets, ritiiks, shortbows, throwing axes, and tridents.
瓦萨人Human, Vaasan
瓦萨人是定居在月海地区的两波人类移民的后裔。来自耐色瑞尔幸存者的国度埃诺瑞亚、埃斯伦以及哈伦达斯的难民向东逃往月海,发现了泰萨尔(Teshar,建于-87 DR,于479 DR陷落)、俞拉斯(Yulash)和北堡(Northkeep,于400 DR陷落)等领土。在随后的几个世纪中,来自桑比亚、谷地和翰土的琼达斯人移民加入了这些早期定居者的后代,建立了月海城邦——散提尔堡(Zhentil Keep)、赫尔堡(Hulburg)、梅尔沃特(Melvaunt)、穆尔玛斯特(Mulmaster)、菲兰(Phlan)和森提亚(Thentia)。几百年前,在大冰川开始消退之后,瓦萨人在月海地区定居下来。虽然这个民族有时被称为泰萨尔人(Tesharan)、萨尔人(Tharran)或俞拉斯人(Yul),但他们最后定居的土地的名称已经成为他们在其他土地上最广为人知的名称。
Vaasans are the descendants of two waves of humanity who settled the Moonsea region. Refugees from the Netherese survivor states of Asram, Anauria, and Hlondath fled east toward the Moonsea to found realms such as Teshar (which was founded in –87 DR and fell in 479 DR) Yulash, and Northkeep (which fell in 400 DR). In later centuries Chondathan immigrants from Sembia, the Dalelands, and the Vast joined the descendants of these early settlements and established the Moonsea city-states of Zhentil Keep, Hulburg, Melvaunt, Mulmaster, Phlan, and Thentia. Vaasa proper was settled from the Moonsea region after the Great Glacier began its retreat, a couple of hundred years ago. While this ethnic group is sometimes referred to as Tesharans, Tharrans, or Yuls, the name of the last land they settled has become the name by which they are most commonly known in other lands.
瓦萨人的肤色通常从白皙到橄榄色,头发乌黑,胡须浓密。他们说达玛拉语,使用矮人文字母表,这是与因布图和达玛拉两国长期贸易关系的产物。瓦萨人崇拜费伦万神殿的大多数神祗,尽管班恩还有程度稍轻的——希瑞克和欧吕尔——接受了他们大部分的祈祷。
Vaasans are typically fair to olive-skinned with dark hair and thick beards. They speak Damaran and employ the Dethek alphabet, a legacy of long-standing trade ties with the nations of Impiltur and Damara. Vaasans venerate most gods of the Faerunian pantheon, although Bane and, to a lesser extent, Cyric and Auril receive the bulk of their prayers.
扎卡拉人Human, Zakharan
在费伦遥远的南方和东方,在传说中的极东地区之外,是命运之地扎卡拉。扎卡拉被认为是一个独立的大陆,就像费伦或卡拉-图一样,尽管这三个大陆在物理上是相连的。命运之地是扎卡拉人的家园,他们相对矮小,有着棕色皮肤和黑色头发,说米达尼语。出生在命运之地扎卡拉人很少在国外被见到,尽管在费伦最南端扎卡拉商人并不少见。然而,至少有两个扎卡拉人族群通过传送门迁移到了费伦,并在西部地区以贝戴蛮族和卡林杉人的形式被大量发现。
Far to the south and east of Faerun, beyond the fabled lands of the Utter East, is Zakhara, the Land of Fate. Zakhara is considered a continent in its own right, not unlike Faerun or Kara-Tur, although all three continents are physically connected. The Land of Fate is home to the Zakharans, relatively short, brownskinned, dark-haired humans who speak Midani. Zakharans born in the Land of Fate are rarely seen outside their homeland, although Zakharan traders are not unknown in the southernmost reaches of Faerun. However, at least two groups of Zakharan humans have migrated to Faerun by means of portals and are found in large numbers in the western lands in the form of the Bedine and Calishites.
