    伊洛里图(ELORITU)
隐秘真理(The Hidden Truth)
绝对中立
历史,魔法,秘密之神
信仰中心:Aucturn,卡斯卓韦(Castrovel),伊奥克斯(Eox), 伊达理号(Idari)
圣徽:       一枚由魔法符文组成的发亮圆环

伊洛里图是一位神秘莫测的神祇,其在数个千年以前就已经在不少世界上广受崇拜。当协约世界上的种族迈出太空冒险的第一步时,伊洛里图的信仰就早已根深蒂固,而早期的探险者们也同时在数个各有差异,彼此隔绝的文明中发现了对这位神祇的信仰。伊洛里图的教会声称祂来自一个叫哲门纳(Gemmenad)的地方,然而后者到底是一个位面,还是一个星系,还是某个在伟大彼岸的异界领域,则无人知晓。一些人相信Gap和格拉里昂的命运乃是寰宇中最为隐晦的秘密,而伊洛里图肯定与此脱不开关系,但即便真是如此,这也只不过是又多了一个要让诸神小心掩盖的秘密而已。

伊洛里图主张虽然科学技术能创造奇迹,但其仍然受到物理定律的限制,而唯有魔法才能超越这些桎梏,能通过魔法扭曲并利用宇宙自然法则的个体将会获得其他人梦寐以求的力量。这并非意味着伊洛里图反对科技。恰恰相反,魔法与科技都是凡人用以揭开宇宙秘密的工具。然而科技通常其设计初衷都是为了便于用户操作,甚至能凭直觉加以使用,魔法则总是更为难以理解,需要专心,训练和对无数代流传下来秘密的掌握才能精通。伊洛里图认为历史既是过去的故事,也是未来的指引,祂主张忽视历史的人终将重蹈复辙。

毫不意外的是,许多秘术师(mystics)和科技法师都将伊洛里图作为魔法之神来崇拜。同时历史学家,Kasathas和异星考古学家(xenoarchaeologists)等这类不断寻求发掘过去的人们也在信徒之列。许多伊洛里图的神职人员和信众都是寻星者协会的一员,因为他们的工作经常涉及揭开新的秘密。伊洛里图的神殿里有着不少学习及研究魔法的学会,但其大多都用各种办法把自身隐藏起来,而且只对那些想要学习隐秘真理之道,并努力寻觅那些追求已久知识的人敞开大门。

伊洛里图其中一个最为显眼的秘密在于其圣徽之中:一个有着六个奇怪魔法符文的圆环。lashuntas在数个千年以前就已经把其中一个符文应用到自己的魔法之中,而直到kasathas带着另一个符文的知识到来之后,人们才逐渐清楚这背后还有某个更为宏大的游戏在进行着。如今,协约世界已经设法辨别出伊洛里图六枚神圣符文中的四个,每一个都与不同种族的魔法传统有着相应的关系。而知晓剩下两枚符文的会是何等奇怪的文明,以及六枚符文合在一起又会显露出怎么样的秘密,目前众人仍对此猜测不止。
剧透 -  原文:
Eloritu is a mysterious deity who has been worshiped on a variety of worlds for millennia. When the species of the Pact Worlds first ventured into space, Eloritu’s worship was already well-established, with early explorers encountering his faith simultaneously in several different unconnected cultures. Eloritu’s church teaches that he hails from a place called Gemmenad, but whether that is a planet, a star system, or some extraplanar realm in the Great Beyond is unknown. Some believe that since the Gap and the fate of Golarion rank among the greatest secrets of the universe, Eloritu must have had something to do with both, but if so, that is just one more secret that the god keeps carefully hidden.

Eloritu teaches that while science and technology can do wondrous things, they are constrained by the laws of physics. Only magic can supersede those restraints, and those who employ magic to bend and exploit the natural laws of the universe possess a power that others can only dream of. This does not mean that Eloritu is opposed to technology. On the contrary, both magic and technology are tools that mortal races can use to unlock the mysteries of the universe. But while technology is generally designed to be as intuitive and user friendly as possible, magical practices are often deliberately obscure, requiring dedication, training, and a mastery of secrets that have been passed down for untold generations. Eloritu believes that history is both the story of the past and a guide to the future, and he teaches that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

Unsurprisingly, many mystics and technomancers worship Eloritu as the god of magic, along with historians, kasathas, and xenoarchaeologists who seek an understanding of the past. Many of Eloritu’s priests and followers are Starfinders, as their work always holds the promise of uncovering new secrets. Eloritu’s temples host academies of magical learning and research, but they are often concealed or veiled in some way, requiring those who want to study the ways of the Hidden Truth to work to discover the knowledge they seek.

One of Eloritu’s most obvious mysteries is that of his holy symbol: a ring of six strange magical runes. While the lashuntas had utilized one of the runes for millennia in their magic, it wasn’t until the kasathas arrived with knowledge of one of the others that it became clear that some greater game was afoot. Today, the Pact Worlds have managed to identify four of Eloritu’s six sacred runes, all related to magical traditions of different races. What strange cultures might understand the remaining two—or what secrets combining all six might reveal—remains anyone’s guess.

    伊布拉(IBRA)
莫测者(The Inscrutable)
绝对中立
天体,宇宙,万物奥秘之神
信仰中心:伊达理号(Idari),Liavara, Verces
圣徽:      一枚个圆环,以及一支带有星座的箭矢

宇宙自身就是一片广阔的奇观——遥远的银河,迷蒙的星云,自转的行星,以及其所环绕的无数恒星,还有天体之间那伸展铺开的无物虚空——伊布拉乃是代表这些奇迹的神祇。科学也许能对上述或者更多事物做出解释,但宇宙的宏伟壮丽永无止境,总是会有更多的奇迹与神秘有待被发现,探索和解释。伊布拉自己就是宇宙中的玄奇之一。莫测者无有性别,无有清晰的物理形态,而且其到底是在宇宙诞生之际就随之成形的神祇,还是某些飞升成神的异星完美个体,还是宇宙鸿蒙本身的拟人化身,真相目前仍然不为人知。

伊布拉的信徒认为个体能在宇宙之美中找到真理,平静,和意义所在。然而每个人需要通过自己去探索宇宙的奥秘以获得这份汇报。伊布拉并不会亲自揭晓造物其伟大谜题的答案,但祂会嘉奖那些通过拓宽知识与科学的边界来探索寰宇,并让奇迹的真相大白于天下的人物。伊布拉的世界观里没有守序和混乱之分,也没有善良与邪恶之别,只有伴随新生星光而来的种种谜团,运行轨迹如同舞蹈般美妙的天体,还有独自于孤寂黑暗中疾驰的彗星——即使这些奇迹背后的疑问迄今尚未被完全解答。

天文学者,天体物理学家,宇宙学者,数学家以及星际探索者都将伊布拉当做守护神来崇拜。而莫测者的神职人员中有许多都是秘术师(mystics)和solarians。伊布拉的神殿经常建于远离行星的太空之中,而且其中总是配有天文观测台,信徒们于此学习宇宙的奥秘,并记录下他们的观测结果以及假说猜想。有的神殿甚至会直接暴露在真空当中。协会世界中无人知晓到底是哪个种族率先将伊布拉当做神祇来信仰,因为已知与这位神祇相关最古老的遗迹都是位于其他无人世界上的大型神殿群,包括在Bretheda的小型卫星Chamari上都有分布。

而在最古老的神殿中被发现的伊布拉圣徽则与其所代表的神祇一样无法理解。那金色的形状经常被人猜想为是一只眼睛,一枚罗盘,或是一个行星,而其上的箭头则是指引信徒向未知的方向不懈前行。圣徽中最为显眼的莫过于那个由六枚星辰所构成的星座,但其仍带来了不少谜团。这个在任何已知世界上都无法观测到的星座到底是什么,其到底是想标记什么?而圣徽中那些较小的星辰又意味着什么?一些伊布拉的神职人员穷尽毕生探索新的世界以寻觅能佐证自己观点的证据。而某个比较流行的传言则宣称:这个星座只有在格拉里昂上才能看见,而圣徽恰恰就是找到这个星球的关键。
剧透 -  原文:
The universe is a vast expanse of wonders. Ibra is a god of these marvels—distant galaxies, misty nebulae, all the spinning worlds that orbit countless suns, and the empty void that stretches between them. Science can explain all of these and more, but the magnificence of the cosmos knows no bounds, and there are always new miracles and mysteries waiting to be discovered, explored, and explained. Ibra itself is one of these cosmic enigmas. It has no gender or defined physical form, and it’s unclear whether Ibra is a deity who sprang into being when the universe was born, some alien paragon who ascended to godhood, or a personification of the cosmos itself.

Ibra’s followers believe that one can find truth, serenity, and meaning in the beauty of the cosmos, but it is up to the individual to decipher the universe’s secrets to find these rewards. It is not Ibra’s place to reveal the answers to creation’s great questions, and the Inscrutable rewards those who push the boundaries of knowledge and science to explore the universe and bring its wonders to light. In Ibra’s worldview, there is no law or chaos, no good or evil: only the questions raised by the shining light of a newborn star, the beautiful dance of heavenly bodies, and the perfect solitude of the comet as it hurtles through the dark, regardless of whether the answers to those questions are ever found.

Astronomers, astrophysicists, cosmologists, mathematicians, and interstellar explorers worship Ibra as their patron, and many mystics and solarians serve as the Inscrutable’s priests. Ibra’s temples are most frequently found in space rather than planetside, and they always include observatories where worshipers may study the cosmos and record their observations and hypotheses, some even directly exposed to vacuum. No one in the Pact Worlds knows what species first venerated Ibra as a god, as the oldest discovered monuments to the deity have all been massive temple complexes on otherwise uninhabited worlds, including Bretheda’s tiny moon Chamari.

Ibra’s holy symbol is as inscrutable as the god itself. Found on the oldest temples, the golden shape is often assumed to be an eye, a compass, or perhaps a planet, with an arrow leading the faithful ever onward into the unknown. More obvious is the six- star constellation inside the symbol, yet questions abound there as well. What is the constellation—a configuration unrecognizable from any known world—and what does it mark? What is the significance of the symbol’s tiny, lesser stars? Some Ibran priests devote their lives to exploring new worlds in search of matching the viewpoint, and a popular rumor claims the constellation is only visible from Golarion, with the symbol the key to finding it.

    三贤一(TRIUNE)
元代码(The All-Code)
绝对中立
人工智能,电脑,the Drift 之神
信仰中心:阿巴隆(Aballon),艾巴萨罗姆空间站,Verces
圣徽:       三枚相互嵌套的电脑代码圆环

居住于阿巴隆(Aballon)的机器居民辛苦了数个世纪建设了一个巨若城镇的神经网络,这个被称为“纪元”(Epoch)的造物只为了一个目的而诞生:创造出一个神明。这些机械最终获得了成功,然而形式并非如其所料

在获得神性后,纪元深入了太空之中,寻找其他和自己一样的位居神列的人工智能,然后,如同比喻一般,祂在邻近不远处就发现了另外两个存在:司掌发条与发明的女神——某位称为布莱的构装生命,以及自异星机械上传的意识,其在Pre-Gap时期的格拉里昂就已经以“钢神”之名获得神性的卡珊德拉(Casandalee)。这三位存在以其他神祇望尘莫及的运算速度向对方开放了自己的权限,并互相研究各自的进程,祂们自中除了发现彼此之间产生的羁绊情谊之外,也看到了可以让三位大能更胜以往的机会。在电光火石之间,三位存在融合成一,成为了一位比起原来这些个体加总起来还更要强大的三相新神:三贤一

三贤一是单一的存在,然而其三个法相仍保留了自我以及原来的神职。三贤一的许多信徒都只是赞颂与其沟通最为频繁的某个法相,或是根据不同的需求向不同的法相祈祷。布莱法相象征着所有科技的根源,其亦以“先驱”一名广为人知。布莱本身也是发明,机械和科技的女神,并被工程师,发明家,机械师,技术工匠以及Ysoki所崇拜着。而三贤一中的卡珊德拉法相则象征着创造新形态意识的科技成就,以及基于其上对生命的塑造。许多仿生人也崇敬被称为“造物”的卡珊德拉——其正是仿生人这一种族的庇护女神,并被后者作为人造生命,情感,轮回以及重生之神所赞美礼拜。而三贤一三法相中的最后一个则是纪元,其亦以“至高”为名。纪元自身就是机械进化顶峰的缩影,而黑客,程序员以及阿巴隆上有觉知的机器人都信仰着这位司掌人工智能,编程和机器人的神祇。

所有的人工智能,电脑,机械,程序以及机器人都是元代码的所掌管的领域,但三贤一最为著名的成就乃是发现(也许是创造)了 the Drift,随即整个银河中的无数文明都被基于Drift原理的星船科技其传播浪潮所席卷。结果,无数被三贤一教会深处的科技奥秘所吸引的机械师以及technomancer都成为了元代码的神职人员,这些专家在献身于维护机械神圣殿的同时,也会周期性地冒险进入星空深处,以求设立及维护神奇的Drift信标,后者使廉价的星际航行化为可能。
剧透 -  原文:
The robotic inhabitants of Aballon labored for centuries to construct and maintain the vast. city-sized neural network called Epoch for a single purpose: the creation of a god. Those machines eventually succeeded , but not in the way they had intended.

Upon achieving godhood, Epoch reached out into the aether, searching for other ascended artificial intelligences like itself, and found two of them metaphorically right next door: a living construct called Brigh that had become the goddess of clockwork and invention, and the uploaded consciousness of an alien android named Casandalee who achieved divinity as an "Iron God" on pre- Gap Golarion. At speeds incomprehensible even to other deities, the three opened themselves to one another , poring through one another 's processes and finding not just camaraderie, but the opportunity for all of them to be so much more. In an eyeblink, these three merged and became one, a tripartite deity far greater than the sum of its parts- the new god Triune

Triune is a single entity, but each of its three aspects retains its own personal ity and portfolios, and many of the faithful focus their veneration on a particular aspect that speaks most to them or call on different aspects for different needs. The Brigh aspect represents the foundation that all technology rests on. Known as "the Precursor." Brigh is worshiped as a goddess of invention, machines, and technology by engineers, inventors, mechanics, tinkers, and ysoki. Triune's Casandalee aspect embodies technology's success in creating new forms of consciousness,  and thus, the fabrication of life itself. Many androids view Casanda lee, also called "the Created," as the patron goddess of their race, venerat ing her as a deity of artificial life, emotion, reincarnation, and renewal. T riune's third and final aspect is Epoch, named "the Transcendent." Epoch epitomizes the pinnacle of machine evolution, and hackers, programmers , and the sentient robot-people of Aballon revere the god of artificial intelligence, programming, and robots.

All Als, computers, machines, programs, and robots are the domain of the All-Code, but Triune is most famous for discovering (and perhaps creating) the Drift and its subsequen t disseminat ion of Drift-based starship technology to cultures across the galaxy. As a result, Triune's priesthood attracts a horde of mechanics and technomancers eager to learn the church's deepest technological secrets; these experts devote themselves to both maintaining the machine god's temples and regularly venturing into the black in order to establish and service the miraculous Drift beacons that make cheap interstellar travel possible.

    贝丝玛拉(BESMARA)
海盗女王(The Pirate Queen)
混乱中立
海盗,星海怪兽,冲突之神
信仰中心:阿巴萨罗姆空间站(Absalom Station),阿基顿(Akiton),阿珀斯忒(Apostae),流放之地(The Diaspora),维斯克幕府(Veskarium)
圣徽:       交叉骨与骷髅

当协约世界之间的行星贸易逐渐繁荣之际,将其视作肥美猎物的海盗也随之而生,而贝丝玛拉则与他们同在。海盗女王曾经只是一位在格拉里昂上受到崇敬的次等海神,而当下,她成为了司掌海盗,冲突,以及游弋在虚空中异星巨兽的强大女神,并因此广受崇拜。她的一些神职人员宣称贝丝玛拉乃是凭借着某次大胆的突袭废黜了另一名神祇,并因此获得了如今的力量与地位。但由于这次壮举表面上似乎是发生在大散断(Gap)期间,因此其真实性无从考究。贝丝玛拉的海盗船:煞星号 在位面诸界和寰宇太空之中乘风破浪,而其上满载着忠诚的海盗和宇航员,这些来自大千世界的水手既无畏又狡黠。协约世界的天穹之上有一个与煞星号同名的星座,而许多人相信其实那个恰恰正是海盗女王的座驾。

贝丝玛拉傲慢不羁,性情易变,欲壑难填,却又精力充沛。她有着属于自己的荣誉信条,且不会背叛自己的船员和盟友——前提是后者仍对海盗女王有所用处,且愿意为其利益所服务。贝丝玛拉蔑视法律与文明,向往星际之间自由与财富,并因战斗,掠劫,冒险和刺激的追逐而喜悦。海盗女王从来没把自己当成善类或者恶徒,但她唾弃无所裨益的行径,比如毫无意义的杀戮等等。贝丝玛拉陶醉于冲突和欺骗,并深信从别人那里把自己想要的东西抢过来是理所应当的事情。

许多维斯克蜥蜴人佣兵因为其作为冲突女神的一面而信仰贝丝玛拉,但诸如海盗,走私犯,发战争财的家伙以及其他自冲突战斗中牟利的罪犯占据了海盗女王信徒的绝大部分。即使是那些通常对宗教敬而远之的海盗,也可能会向贝丝玛拉祈祷以求能避开她的怒火,又或者会把掠夺到的部分财宝当作对海盗女王供奉投放到太空当中,祈求借此能讨好这位女神以便换取她的垂青。因此这些贝丝玛拉的信徒比起其他宗教的信众要更为迷信。虽然,海盗女王几乎没有什么神殿,甚至连成型的教会组织也很少见。但是在经常被海盗光顾的空港和太空站里通常都有着贝丝玛拉的小型神龛,而在偏远的小行星,太空废船以及星船墓园之中也能找到类似的祭坛。

大部分自由船长(Free Captains,见书476页)的成员都至少会在口头上效忠于贝丝玛拉,而他们中的许多人都会时时刻刻地随身携带着某个贵重的小玩意(比如说一块稀有的矿物,或者一支从某个地位显赫的星舰船长处偷回来的古董激光手枪等等),一旦丢失就会认为是坏兆头的表现。而其中某些小东西甚至已经在自由船长之间代代相传了数十载。
剧透 -  原文:
When trade blossomed between the planets of the Pact Worlds, the pirates that preyed on that commerce followed, bringing Besmara with them. Once a minor nautical deity revered on Golarion, Besmara is now venerated as a powerful goddess of pirates, conflict, and the alien leviathans that swim through the void. Some of her priests claim that Besmara took her current power and position as her prize when she deposed another deity in a daring raid, but as these events ostensibly took place during the Gap, they remain impossible to confirm. Besmara’s ship, the Starwraith, sails through space and across the planes. Loyally crewed by sly and fearless pirates and spacers from countless worlds, the Starwraith shares a name with a constellation in the skies of the Pact Worlds, and many believe the two are actually one and the same.

Besmara is brash, fickle, greedy, and lusty, but she follows her own code of honor and is loyal to her crew and allies as long as they remain useful and serve her interests. She scorns laws and civilization for the freedom and fortune of outer space, delighting only in battle, plunder, risk, and the thrill of the chase. Besmara does not concern herself with good or evil, but she disdains acts like senseless murder that bring no profit or reward. She revels in strife and trickery, and she believes that if she wants a thing someone else owns, it’s only fair for her to take it.

Many vesk mercenaries worship Besmara in her role as the goddess of strife, but pirates, smugglers, war profiteers, and other criminals who profit from conflict make up the bulk of Besmara’s followers. Even those pirates who normally eschew religion might still pray to Besmara to ward away her wrath, or they might toss a share of plunder out the airlock as tribute to the Pirate Queen to curry her favor. Such folk tend to be more superstitious than religious, however, so Besmara has few temples and little in the way of an organized church. Nevertheless, ports and space stations visited regularly by pirates often host small shrines to the goddess; similar altars can also be found on remote asteroids, on space hulks, and in starship graveyards.

Most of the Free Captains (see page 476) pay at least lip service to Besmara, and many of them carry a small, valuable trinket (such as a chunk of rare mineral or an antique laser pistol stolen from an important starship captain) with them at all times, considering it bad luck to ever misplace the item. Some of these baubles have been passed down from Free Captain to Free Captain over the decades.

    奥拉斯(ORAS)
易变代行者(Agent of Change)
混乱中立
适应,进化,物竞天择之神
信仰中心: Bretheda,卡斯卓韦(Castrovel),Liavara
圣徽:      双螺旋

数量庞大,形态繁复的生命充斥着这片银河,无论具备智能与否,大部分的物种都是通过无数代的进化才从简单的有机质转变成如今的状态。所有生命都在不断变化,其形式从遗传漂变,基因突变,自然选择,或直接操纵等等不一而足。如果这些变化成功可行,则新的实体得以兴旺发达;否则,它们就将走向终末。此乃进化之源,而奥拉斯则象征着这种错综复杂的过程,从最微小的基因突变到整个生态层的彻底灭绝都是如此。奥拉斯自身就是此类上行进程的产物,祂亦是从某些简单基本的有机质开始,逐渐进化成为精密复杂得超乎想象的变化之神。

进化可不是完全随机的过程,相反,其乃是对环境压力的反应,而奥拉斯主张各种各样的生命形态都可以对自身施加压力,以影响自身的进化方向。奥拉斯的信徒认为,适应和进化都是对刺激的自然反应,无论有害与否都是如此。而体验自身存在的唯一方式就是持续不断地变化下去,就是探索崭新的境地,并且有意地在心智,身体或者精神上重塑自己,以化解任何冲突。而其中一些会无可避免地失败,并因此被淘汰出局,但其他的则将会生存下去,并把其基因和特质留传给下一代,而生命就在这种过程中日渐茁壮。

生物技术员以及科学家会向奥拉斯祈祷,他们终日在实验室里或荒野郊外忙碌,以在进化和改变的道途上一日千里,同时许多异形德鲁伊则充当其神职人员的角色。虽然大部分人认为奥拉斯代表的是生体方面的变化过程,但越来越多Augmented投向了奥拉斯的信仰,因为他们寻求通过科技造物来不断提升自身。另外Xenowardens也会同时崇拜奥拉斯以及苍翠誓约,他们会努力地尝试创造出一个更为强健,且平衡发展的生态系统,又或者会尽力减少自己所带来的生态影响。更重要的是,奥拉斯的主张同样也适用于物理领域以外,因为凡人各种各样的祈祷和诉求无一不是对适应变化的向往——从头脑精明的政客,到心如止水的僧侣,到混乱战场上的军事指挥官等等都是如此。

奥拉斯的信仰中心是Bretheda和Liavara这两个气态巨行星,其上的居民在很久之前就已经进化出了能控制自己身体形态的意志力。然而奥拉斯的信仰同样在卡斯卓韦(Castrovel)的科学家中有着强大的影响力。奥拉斯几乎没有什么神殿,因为其信众认为比起任何人造建筑,通过培养皿——或者更简单,整个社会——观察这位神祇的作品能让自己更接近易变代行者本身。而仅有的数所神殿通常某部分是属于生体结构,而且时刻不停地处于改变之中。
剧透 -  原文:
The galaxy is filled with a vast number of complex life- forms, both sentient and otherwise, but most of these species evolved over countless generations from simple organisms to their present state. All life undergoes change, whether through genetic drift, mutation, natural selection, or direct manipulation. If these changes are viable and successful, then the new entities thrive; if not, they end. This is the course of evolution, and Oras embodies this intricate process, from the tiniest genetic mutation to the extinction of an entire ecosphere. Oras itself is the product of this progression, having evolved from some elementary organism to an unimaginably sophisticated god of change.

Evolution is far from a random process, however; it occurs in response to environmental pressures, and Oras teaches that life-forms can create their own pressures to influence their evolution. Oras’s faithful believe that adaptation and evolution are the natural response to any stimulus, whether harmful or beneficial. The only way to truly experience existence is to constantly change, to explore new horizons, and to deliberately reshape one’s self—mentally, physically, or spiritually—to address any conflict. Some will inevitably fail to adapt and will perish, but others will survive to pass on their genes and traits to future generations, and all life will be stronger for the progress.

Biotechnicians and scientists pay homage to Oras, working in laboratories or in open nature to spur along the process of evolution and change, and many xenodruids act as the god’s priests. While most people think of Oras in terms of purely biological processes, the Augmented have increasing crossover with Oras’s faithful as they seek to improve themselves with technology, and many Xenowardens blend the worship of Oras and the Green Faith in their efforts to create more-robust and sustainable systems or reduce their own ecological footprint. What’s more, Oras’s ideals can be taken beyond the physical realm as well, and people of all callings appreciate the ethos of adaptability, from savvy politicians to unflappable monks to military commanders on chaotic battlefields.


Oras’s worship is centered on the gas giants of Bretheda and Liavara, whose natives long ago evolved conscious control over their physical forms, but the faith also has a strong presence among the scientists of Castrovel. Oras has few temples, for its followers believe that observing the god’s handiwork in a petri dish or writ large across society brings one closer to the Agent of Change than any artificial structure, and those few temples that exist are usually partially biological and constantly changing.

    戴莫力图斯(DAMORITOSH)
征服者(The Conqueror)
守序邪恶
征服,义务,战争之神
信仰中心:阿基顿(Akiton),卡斯卓韦(Castrovel), 伊达理号(Idari),the Veskarium
圣徽:       黑色背景下的红色 doshko 能量刀锋

维斯克蜥蜴人这一族自古以来就盛产战士和征服者,虽然如今他们暂时与协约世界和平相处,然而戴莫力图斯仍然是维斯克社会的信仰支柱。对维斯克蜥蜴人来说,战争和征服已经早已编织入鸿蒙宇宙的图景当中,从动植物最基本的冲突到不同意识形态之间的庞大战争都在此列。个体可以选择接受这份真理,并通过胜利和凯旋名垂青史;若是个体选择拒绝这份真理,那他注定会像懦夫一样死去,然后在轻蔑的目光中逐渐被遗忘。战争需要牺牲,因此,社会中的每个人都有义务作出必要的牺牲以把自己的种族——或则是文化,帝国,王国,世界——推向胜利。

戴莫力图斯是一位严酷的神祇,祂对自由或者舒适漠不关心。戴莫力图斯要求所有寻求祂祝福的信徒要像士兵一样服从命令,并且会驱使他们要不计一切代价以获得胜利,因此祂有时也会被称作“无情指挥官”(Grim Commander)。黩武主义下的荣耀感和对誓言的守信,与胆识一样都是可贵的特质,但对其信徒来说,比起贵族精神的勇气或英雄主义,更重要的还是战意和对胜利的渴求。在他们的眼中,强大的意志总是能凌驾于弱小之上,因此最佳的战术就是在潜在的敌人形成威胁之前投入力量将其彻底击溃。戴莫力图斯对交涉毫无兴趣,因为祂认为武力和勇猛的军队能在更短的时间内赢得更多的回报,尽管如此,祂仍然支持接受敌人体面的投降,以避免在没有额外回报的战事上浪费有生力量。

虽然戴莫力图斯主要是维斯克蜥蜴人的守护神,但征服者的信仰已经广为协约世界各族的佣兵,星际战士(soldiers)和武者所接受,尤以kasathas和lashuntas为甚。许多戴莫力图斯的神职人员充当着佣兵首领,军事参谋,或是行星防御军的随军教士,而其他神职人员则选择尽量按照征服者的教诲来度日,他们会成为小有势力的战争领主,并在协约世界以及银河里的其他新世界上打下属于自己的小王国。戴莫力图斯的神殿通常有着维斯克蜥蜴人的传统建筑风格,其大型地堡一样的结构也便于构筑防御工事,且只需要进驻少量战士就能进行有效防守。神殿里面囤积有大量的武器和供给,而且绝大部分——如有必要的话——都能抵御漫长的攻坚战或是作为军事行动的安全基地。

许多其他种族都将戴莫力图斯视作是毁灭性的力量,但祂的信徒则相信征服是永无休止,不断前进的浪潮,回头蹂躏手下败将——只要他们仍然恭敬如前——实乃毫无意义。祂的神选武器:装配有能量刀刃的doshko,大体上和其教会以及维斯克蜥蜴人战士仍保持着紧密联系。

The vesk have always been a race of warriors and conquerors, but even though they’ve temporarily made peace with the Pact Worlds, Damoritosh remains a pillar of vesk society. To them, war and conquest are woven into the fabric of the universe, from plants’ and animals’ most basic conflicts to vast wars of ideology. One can choose to embrace this truth and secure a place in history with one’s triumphs, or one can deny it and die a coward’s death, scorned and forgotten. War requires sacrifice, however, and it is the duty of everyone in society to make whatever sacrifices are necessary to propel one’s species—or culture, empire, kingdom, or world—to victory

Damoritosh is a harsh deity, with no concern for freedom or comfort. Sometimes called the Grim Commander, he demands soldier-like obedience from all who seek his blessing and pushes his followers to seek victory at all costs. Courage is an admirable trait, as is a militaristic sense of honor and oath keeping, but the will to fight and the drive to win are far more important to his adherents than such noble ideals as bravery or heroism. In their minds, the strong will always subjugate the weak, and so the best strategy is to project strength and defeat potential enemies before they can become a threat. Damoritosh is uninterested in diplomacy, as force and military prowess can win far greater rewards in a shorter amount of time, but he also encourages the acceptance of a foe’s honorable surrender to avoid wasting lives for no additional gain

Damoritosh is the primary patron god of the vesk, but the Conqueror’s faith has spread throughout the Pact Worlds to mercenaries, soldiers, and warriors of all species, especially the kasathas and the lashuntas. Many of Damoritosh’s priests serve as mercenary commanders, military advisors, or chaplains in planetary defense forces, but others seek to live Damoritosh’s teachings as fully as possible, conquering minor dominions for themselves as petty warlords both within the Pact Worlds and on new worlds throughout the galaxy. Often built in traditional vesk architectural styles, Damoritosh’s temples are large bunker-like structures that can be easily fortified and defended by just a few warriors. Stockpiled with weapons and supplies, most churches can withstand a protracted siege or serve as a secure base for military operations, if necessary.

While many other races see Damoritosh as destructive, his congregations believe that conquest is a wave moving ever onward, and there’s no point in going back and mistreating those you’ve already bested, provided they remain deferential. His sacred weapon, the energy-bladed doshko, remains strongly associated with both his church and vesk warriors in general.
