极地矮人，自称因纽戈卡利库瑞特（Inugaakalikurit），是费伦最北端的孤独居民。极地矮人生长于大冰川中心的山脉和其他北方地区，外界对它们知之甚少。大多数极地矮人是游侠、野蛮人或战士，因为他们对施法艺术或对神的崇拜不感兴趣。
Arctic dwarves, who call themselves the Inugaakalikurit, are the isolated inhabitants of Faerun’s northernmost reaches. Native to the mountains at the heart of the Great Glacier and other northerly regions, arctic dwarves are little known to the outside world. Many arctic dwarves are rangers, barbarians, or fighters, for they hold little interest in the spellcasting arts or godly worship.
极地矮人在粗壮族裔中是独一无二的，因为他们的祖先没有追溯到贝瑞丹，这个宏伟洞窟后来落入了塔伦提瓦的卓尔精灵之手，现在成为了开放的大裂谷。因此，他们与其他粗壮族裔乎没有共同点，缺乏任何共同的政治、宗教、工艺或魔法传统。近些年来，少数极地矮人穿越冰雪覆盖的北部荒地，在大冰海沿岸和银月联盟中建立了新的定居点，但在大多数因纽戈卡利库瑞特却会好几代人都完美的过着与世隔绝的生活，并且乐此不彼。
Arctic dwarves are unique among the Stout Folk in that they do not trace their ancestry back to Bhaerynden, the great cavern that later fell to the drow of Telantiwar and now lies open as the Great Rift. As such, they have little in common with other Stout Folk, lacking any common political, religious, craft, or magical traditions. In recent years, a handful of arctic dwarves have migrated across the icy northern wastes to establish new settlements along the shores of the Great Ice Sea and in the Silver Marches, but for the most part the Inugaakalikurit have dwelt in splendid isolation for uncounted generations, wholly content with their lot in life.
极地矮人矮胖结实，身材魁梧，面部紧绷，腿粗短。它们很少超过3英尺高，而且几乎和它们的高一样宽。他们的眼睛是明亮的蓝色，他们的脸颊像苹果一样红润。他们的皮肤是白色的，泛着蓝光，但是由于喜欢在明亮的阳光下晒太阳，他们中的许多人从头到脚都被晒红了，不过这种情况不会导致他们不适或其他不良影响。他们的手指和脚趾又粗又钝，脚又平又宽。卷曲的白发遮住了他们的头，几乎从背部垂到了腰部。男性留着短胡须和纠缠的大胡子。男女都喜欢简单的北极熊皮衣，一般都是赤脚。
Arctic dwarves are squat and hardy, with blocky bodies, pinched faces, and stubby legs. They rarely exceed 3 feet in height and are nearly as broad as they are tall. Their eyes are bright blue, their cheeks as ruddy as apples. Their skin is white, almost bluish, but because of their fondness for basking under the bright sun, many of them are sunburned red from head to toe, a condition that causes them no discomfort or other ill effects. Their fingers and toes are thick and blunt and their feet flat and wide. Curly white hair covers their heads and tumbles down their backs nearly to their waists. Males sport short beards and twisting mustaches. Both sexes favor simple tunics of polar bear fur and generally go barefoot.
极地矮人是开放和友好的，除了他们鄙视的霜巨人外可以很好地与其他邻近的种族交流。与其他矮人不同的是，因纽戈卡利库瑞特对采矿和手工艺品几乎没有兴趣，相反，他们专注于狩猎、抚养孩子和安逸的生活。在极地矮人社会中，如家庭和家族这样对于其他矮人来说的传统限制，几乎没有什么影响力，历史和祖先过去的成就对他们来说只是有趣故事的来源。极地矮人非常好奇外面的世界，但他们很少有兴趣亲自走出去看看。
Arctic dwarves are open and friendly and can be quite sociable with neighboring races, with the exception of frost giants, whom they despise. Unlike other dwarves, Inugaakalikurit have little interest in mining or crafts, instead devoting themselves to hunting, raising children, and leisure. Traditional dwarven strictures, such as those imposed by family and clan, hold little weight in arctic dwarf society, and history and the past achievements of one’s ancestors are seen as little more than a source of enjoyable tales. Arctic dwarves are quite curious about the outside world, although they have little inclination to go and see it.
极地矮人在玩家手册的表6-4和6-5中符合了矮人的预期寿命和年龄类别，但使用以下随机身高和体重特征，而不是表6-6中描述的特征：
Arctic dwarves have the life expectancy and age categories defined for dwarves in Tables 6–4 and 6–5 of the Player’s Handbook, but use the following random height and weight characteristics instead of those described on Table 6–6:
极地矮人，男性2'8" +2d4 50 磅 × (1d4) 磅
极地矮人，女性2'4" +2d4 40 磅 × (1d4) 磅
Arctic dwarf, male 2'8" +2d4 50 lb. × (1d4) lb.
Arctic dwarf, female 2'4" +2d4 40 lb. × (1d4) lb.
历史History
由于极地矮人除了他们自己的故事之外没有其他的历史记录，所以很少有人知道这个神秘的亚种的真实历史。学者们认为，极地矮人和最初建立贝瑞丹的矮人同时移居费伦北部，但如果这是真的，他们却没有留下任何过去的痕迹。有人声称因纽戈卡利库瑞特曾统治过一个与贝瑞丹的帝国相抗衡的北部帝国，但过去的大冰川摧毁了它可能留下的任何废墟。
Since the arctic dwarves have no historical record other than their own stories, little is known about the true history of this enigmatic subrace. Scholars believe that the arctic dwarves migrated into northern Faerun around the same time as the Stout Folk who originally founded Bhaerynden, but, if that is true, they have left no trace of their passing. Some claim that the Inugaakalikurit once ruled a northern empire that rivaled great Bhaerynden, but the Great Glacier long ago crushed any ruins it might have left.
极地矮人并不总是声称诺弗拉龙的高耸山峰是他们的家园。在乌鲁提欧人到来之前，他们居住在横跨大冰川的小村庄里。自从适应了高山家园，极地矮人一直生活在安静的与世隔绝之中，没有被时间的流逝所影响。
Arctic dwarves did not always claim the towering peaks of Novularond as their home. Prior to the coming of the Ulutiuns, they dwelt in small villages across the Great Glacier. Since adapting to their alpine homes, the arctic dwarves have dwelt in quiet isolation, untouched by the passage of time.
性格tlook
极地矮人是友好和外向的，很少关心阶级或族群的区别。他们充分的受生活，几乎不会积累钱财或物质财富。他们相信狩猎和采集足够的食物来养活自己，但除此之外对任何形式的劳动都没有兴趣。他们把可能多的时间花在安逸的生活事、摔跤等运动以及与孩子玩游戏上。
Arctic dwarves are friendly and outgoing, little concerned with class or clan distinctions. They enjoy life to the fullest and see little reason to accumulate wealth or material possessions. They believe in hunting and gathering sufficient food to feed themselves but otherwise have little interest in labor of any sort. They strive to spend as much time as possible in leisurely pursuits, storytelling, sports such as wrestling, and games with their children.
极地矮人很少喜欢冒险，但那些确实对其他文化有好奇心的矮人却很愿意放弃他们原本追求的休闲生活而踏上旅途。他们不会待在遥远的冰河家园中等待与其他文化的接触，而是出发去探索世界，寻找异域风情和新事物。正因为如此，他们偶然地闯入了冒险，愉快地探索他们遇到的任何新环境。
Arctic dwarves are rarely drawn to adventuring, but those who do usually evince a curiosity about other cultures so strong that they willingly forgo the life of leisure they might otherwise pursue. Instead of waiting to chance upon evidence of other cultures in their remote glacial homes, they head out to explore the world, seeking out the exotic and the new. As such, they stumble into adventures by happenstance, happily exploring any new environment they come across.
极地矮人角色ARCTIC DWARF CHARACTERS
极地矮人通常是优秀的游侠和野蛮人，因为他们具备在极端环境中生存的良好条件。同样，一代又一代的与霜巨人和其他怪物战斗的极地矮人也有着强大的军事传统。这些职业的存在使极地矮人能够自给自足，他们会对持续生存感到舒适，因此产生了许多人对生活的轻松态度。因纽戈卡利库瑞特没有奥术施法的传统，他们也缺乏宗教信仰所以无法成为牧师或圣骑士的作用。极地矮人通常多职业的，如游侠/战士或游侠/野蛮人。
Arctic dwarves typically make good rangers and barbarians, since they are well equipped to survive in extreme environments. Likewise, generations of battling frost giants and other monsters have given rise to a strong martial tradition. The selfsufficiency of these classes enables arctic dwarves to feel comfortable about their continued survival and hence engenders the relaxed attitude many feel toward life. Inugaakalikurit have no arcane spellcasting tradition, and their lack of religious faith precludes the role of cleric or paladin. Arctic dwarves often multiclass as ranger/fighters or ranger/barbarians.
受欢迎的职业：极地矮人喜欢的职业是游侠。大冰川严酷的极地环境锻炼了那些拥有卓越生存技能的人，因纽戈卡利库瑞特和他们的霜巨人宿敌之间持续的矛盾需要通过拥有特殊技能猎杀巨兽的游侠来解决。
Favored Class: An arctic dwarf’s favored class is ranger. The harsh polar environment of the Great Glacier rewards those who possess excellent survival skills, and the intermittent feuding between the Inugaakalikurit and their frost giant enemies demands the specialized skills of a giant-killing ranger.
Arctic Dwarf Society
极地矮人的文化非常独特，这是几个世纪以来与费伦其他种族隔离的结果。与其他矮人文化相比，因纽戈卡利库瑞特几乎不重视血统或宗族。尽管个人成就确实能够赢得尊重，但这种成就很少能被超过一代人记住。对休闲的追求被置于艰苦的工作或熟练的手工之上，很少有极地矮人被驱使去完成超出持续生存之外的任务。
Arctic dwarf culture is remarkably homogeneous, the result of centuries of isolation from the other races of Faerun. Compared to other dwarven cultures, Inugaakalikurit place almost no emphasis on bloodline or clan. While individual accomplishment does garner respect, rarely are such feats remembered for more than a generation. The pursuit of leisure is placed above hard work or skilled artisanship, and few arctic dwarves are driven to accomplish more than continued survival.
极地矮人在童年时受到了很多人的关注，社区里的所有成年成员都在不同程度上扮演着父母的角色。人们对因纽戈卡利库瑞特青年的期望很低，所以他们整天都在玩乐。作为成年人，每一个极地矮人都被期望为社区的福祉做出贡献，但即使做出最低限度要求的工作也没什么社会奖励。人们认为，年迈的极地矮人有权在余下的日子里过着悠闲的生活，当死亡最终来临时，他们会埋葬在冰雪之下。极地矮人移居到几乎荒无人烟的群山中的地方，所以他们作为其他文化中的少数民族的经验非常少。那些离开家园的极地矮人通常会寻找性格相似，而非种族相同的人交往，并试图重新回到他们在家乡那样舒适的生活方式。
Arctic dwarves receive a great deal of individual attention in childhood, with all adult members of the community serving as parental figures to varying degrees. Little is expected of Inugaakalikurit youth, so they spend their days engaged in playful pursuits. As adults, each arctic dwarf is expected to contribute to the community’s well-being, but there is little societal reward for doing more than the minimum required. Elderly arctic dwarves are considered to have earned the right to live out the rest of their days engaging in leisurely pursuits and are simply encased beneath the ice and snow when death finally claims them. Arctic dwarves have emigrated in such small numbers from their mountain homes that they have very little experience as minorities within other cultures. Those who do leave usually look for individuals of similar temperament, regardless of race, and attempt to recreate the easygoing lifestyle of their native villages.
语言和文字Language and Literacy
像所有的矮人一样，极地矮人讲矮人的方言，使用矮人文字母表。他们也讲通用语的索萨尔方言。矮人文的因纽戈卡利库瑞特方言被称为库尔特语，与乌鲁伊克语——大冰川中人类和北地的冰猎人所说的乌鲁提欧语言——有着密切的联系。常见的额外语言包括乌卢伊克语、巨人语、达玛拉语和龙语，它们使极地矮人能够与他们的邻居交流。
Like all dwarves, arctic dwarves speak a dialect of Dwarven and employ the Dethek rune alphabet. They also speak the dialect of Common spoken in Sossal. The Inugaakalikurit dialect of Dwarven is known as Kurit and has strong ties to Uluik, the Ulutiun tongue spoken by the humans of the Great Glacier and the Ice Hunters of the North. Common secondary languages include Uluik, Giant, Damaran, and Draconic, which enable arctic dwarves to communicate with their neighbors.
除了野蛮人、贵族、专家、战士和平民外，所有极地矮人都能够读写。
All arctic dwarf characters are literate except for barbarians, adepts, aristocrats, experts, warriors, and commoners.

极地矮人魔法和知识Arctic Dwarf Magic and Lore
极地矮人对魔法持务实的看法：如果它能帮助他们狩猎，这就是有用的，但除此之外，咒语和施法者——尤其是奥术——都是给年轻人讲的故事。
Arctic dwarves take a pragmatic view toward magic: It’s useful if it helps them hunt, but otherwise spells and spellcasters—especially arcane ones—are a matter for tales told to youngsters.
法术和施法SPELLS AND SPELLCASTING
极地矮人没有奥术施法的传统。因为他们不崇拜矮人的神，他们也缺乏强大的神术施法传统。大多数极地矮人施法者都是德鲁伊、导师和游侠。德鲁伊特别喜欢火魔法，因为他们的许多最常见的敌人（如霜巨人和霜虫）害怕和憎恨火焰。
Arctic dwarves do not have an arcane spellcasting tradition. Since they do they not worship the dwarven deities, they lack a strong divine spellcasting tradition as well. Most arctic dwarf spellcasters are druids, adepts, and rangers. The druids in particular have an affinity to fire magic, because many of their most common foes (such as frost giants and frost worms) fear and hate flames.
极地矮人魔法物品ARCTIC DWARF MAGIC ITEMS
极地矮人很少使用魔法物品，因为他们没有神术或奥术施法者的来制作这些物品。那些少量的魔法物品通常由德鲁伊或罕见的极地矮人奥术施法者制造，包括自然盔甲护身符和极速雪鞋（与极速靴相同）。
Arctic dwarves rarely employ magic items, as they do not have a cultural tradition of clerics or arcane spellcasters to craft such items. Those few items that do exist are usually fashioned by druids or the rare arctic dwarf arcane spellcaster and include such items as amulets of natural armor and snowshoes of speed (identical to boots of speed).
在大冰川的洞穴中，极地矮人培育出硬币大小的冰晶，其锋利度极高。在库尔特语中称为克伦德里特Kerrenderit，这些水晶可以附魔，形成致命的箭头（见附录中的魔法项目部分）。克伦德里特水晶在冰洞中形成需要很长时间，所以只有极地矮人中最伟大的猎人才能在箭袋中携带克伦德里特箭。
In caves carved into the Great Glacier, arctic dwarves nurture coin-sized ice crystals of exceeding sharpness. Called kerrenderit in the Kurit tongue, these crystals can be magically enhanced to form deadly arrowheads (see the Magic Items section of the Appendix). The kerrenderit crystals take a long time to form in their icy caves, so only the greatest hunters among the arctic dwarves carry kerrenderit arrows in their quivers.
极地矮人神祗Arctic Dwarf Deities
在各种矮人的亚种中，因纽戈卡利库瑞特是独一无二的，因为他们不崇拜摩丁萨曼诸神，或者，实际上他们不崇拜任何神。但仍然有一些例外，一些极地矮人已经转向崇拜人类的神乌鲁提欧。相反，极地矮人遵循德鲁伊教的传统，崇尚塔烙斯和乌鲁提欧。
Among the various dwarven subraces, the Inugaakalikurit are unique in that they do not venerate the Morndinsamman or, indeed, worship any gods. A few exceptions exist, including a few arctic dwarves who have turned to the worship of the human god Ulutiu. Instead, the arctic dwarves follow a druidic tradition, venerating Talos and Ulutiu.
与其他种族关系Relations with Other Races
极地矮人由于其所处的环境而与世隔绝，除了乌鲁提欧人和霜巨人外，他们对其他种族的成员几乎没有了解。他们和前者相处得很好，讨厌后者。由于大多数极地矮人和蔼可亲，爱好和平，除非有特别的理由，他们对大多数其他种族相处的都很好。因纽戈卡利库瑞特发现其他矮人和侏儒那熟悉的外表和奇怪（对极地矮人而言）的方式相结合后十分有趣，。同样地，对极地矮人来说除了乌鲁提欧人以外的人类是奇怪的，因为他们的文化与极地矮人已知的有很大的不同。因因纽戈卡利库瑞特对精灵和半精灵有一种敬畏之情，因为他们只见过有翅膀的精灵在他们的山间家园上空翱翔。半身人、半兽人和神魔裔对极地矮人来说是异乎寻常的种族。
Isolated as they are by their environment, arctic dwarves have little experience with members of other races aside from Ulutiun humans and frost giants. They get along well with the former and hate the latter. Since most arctic dwarves are amiable and peace-loving, they treat representatives of most other races favorably unless shown reason not to. The Inugaakalikurit find other dwarves and gnomes somewhat amusing, a combination of their familiar appearance and odd (to an arctic dwarf) ways. Likewise, humans other than Ulutiuns are seen as odd since their cultures differ greatly from that known to arctic dwarves. The Inugaakalikurit regard elves and half-elves with a measure of awe, having only ever seen winged elves soaring high above their mountain homes. Halflings, half-orcs, and planetouched are exotic creatures to a typical arctic dwarf.
极地矮人装备Arctic Dwarf Equipment
极地矮人通常只使用少数武器，包括战斧、半矛、短弓和短矛。大多数极地矮人都穿着皮甲其中北极熊的毛皮是最珍贵的。大冰川严酷的北极环境需要使用狗拉雪橇（玩家手册中的雪橇）、雪地护目镜和雪鞋。
Arctic dwarves commonly employ only a handful of weapons, including battleaxes, halfspears, shortbows, and shortspears. Most arctic dwarves wear hide armor, with pelts of polar bears being most highly prized. The harsh arctic environment of the Great Glacier requires the use of dogsleds (as sleds in the Player’s Handbook), snow goggles, and snowshoes.
极地矮人喜欢有着厚毛皮的骑犬作为宠物和驮畜。当他们在狗拉雪橇后面狩猎时，他们经常追捕猎物直至耗尽猎物的体力，然后用北极鱼叉完成狩猎（见附录中的装备部分）。尽管北极鱼叉对于极地矮人来说使用困难，但他们还是喜欢它，这是由于在神话传说中拿着北极鱼叉的矮人，击倒了大的不可思议的北极熊和其他猎物。
Arctic dwarves favor riding dogs with heavy winter coats as pets and pack animals. When they hunt behind dogsleds, they often chase down and exhaust their prey, then finish the hunt with arctic harpoons (see the Equipment section of the Appendix). While the arctic harpoon can be difficult for arctic dwarves to wield, they favor it anyway, motivated by a mythic tradition of arctic dwarf harpooners who felled impossibly large polar bears and other prey.
极地矮人地区Arctic Dwarf Region
大多数极地矮人生活在大冰川上。这个地区适合在冰封的冰川山脉中的民族家园中生长的因纽戈卡利库瑞特。
Most arctic dwarves live on the Great Glacier. This region is appropriate for an Inugaakalikurit raised in the race’s homeland in the icebound mountains of the glacier.
