灰矮人居住在幽暗地域中的地底城市里,他们是盾矮人的近亲,以残忍和冷酷著称。像他们的地表亲属一样,灰矮人以他们的铁匠和手艺而闻名,但与他们在地表国度的兄弟们不同,杜尔加(duergar)是冷酷和沉闷的,生活在无尽的劳作中。像他们的金矮人和盾矮人亲属一样,杜尔加们建立了伟大的帝国,他们在在无尽黑暗的国度中建立了地底王国格莱克斯图格(Gracklstugh)的钢铁王国顿帕尔林(Dunspeirrin)。
Dwelling in great subterranean cities of the Underdark, the gray dwarves are deep-dwelling cousins of shield dwarves, known for their cruelty and bitterness. Like their surface-dwelling kin, gray dwarves are famed for their smithwork and craftsmanship, but unlike their brethren in the Realms Above, the duergar are grim and cheerless, living lives of endless toil. Like their gold and shield dwarf kin, the duergar have forged great empires, founding such realms as the Deepkingdom of Gracklstugh and the Steel Kingdom of Dunspeirrin in the endless darkness of the Realms Below.
灰矮人平均4英尺高,几乎和成年人类一样重。尽管其他矮人都身体圆润,肌肉结实,杜尔加只是肩膀很宽,但身材瘦削,四肢肌肉发达。灰矮人的皮肤是浅灰色或深灰色,眼睛是暗黑色。灰矮人不论男女通常都是秃头,男性有长长的灰色胡须和胡须。
Averaging 4 feet tall, gray dwarves weigh nearly as much as an adult human. While other dwarves tend to be round-bodied and stoutly muscled, duergar are wide of shoulder but wiry and lean, their limbs corded with tough muscle. The skin of a gray dwarf is light or dark gray, and his eyes are dull black. Both genders are usually bald, with males having long gray beards and mustaches.
灰矮人被痛苦所吞噬,他们觉得自己的种族被永远剥夺了应有的权利。杜尔加们期望并过着没完没了的苦役生活。虽然他们的作品足以与盾牌和金矮人的作品相提并论,但他们对自己的技艺毫无兴趣,仅仅只是不屈不挠的完美主义者。他们乐于折磨弱者和无助者,只有残忍的笑话和琐碎的折磨才能给大多数灰矮人带来片刻的微笑。
Gray dwarves are consumed with bitterness, feeling their race has forever been denied what was rightfully theirs. The duergar expect and live lives of never-ending drudgery. While their work rivals that of shield and gold dwarves, they are relentless perfectionists who take no pleasure in their craftsmanship. Only cruel jokes and petty torments bring a moment’s smile to most gray dwarves, and they delight in tormenting the weak and the helpless.
灰矮人的寿命和年龄类别在《玩家手册》表6-4和6-5中为符合矮人设定,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:
Gray 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:
灰矮人,男性3'9" +2d4 110 磅 × (2d4) 磅
灰矮人,男性3'7" +2d4 80 磅 × (2d4) 磅
Gray dwarf, male 3'9" +2d4 110 lb. × (2d4) lb.
Gray dwarf, female 3'7" +2d4 80 lb. × (2d4) lb.
历史History
灰矮人的历史可以追溯到沙纳塔八国之一的巴拉奎尔(Barakuir)的建立。这个钢铁王国被杜尔格家族的盾矮人统治,他们崇拜拉杜格(Laduguer)作为他们王国的守护神。虽然他们宣誓效忠于龙颅王座,但杜尔格家族的统治者认为他们的国王应该在第二次蜘蛛战争结束时被选为沙纳塔的统治者。由于痛苦,巴拉奎尔的矮人大部分从帝国的其他地方离开了。约-8100 DR,当灵吸怪(夺心魔)的城市,位于光辉平原地底的奥灵多尔(Oryndoll)爆发了战争时,这一行动很快就被证实愚蠢至极。虽然沙纳塔(Shanatar)与奥林多尔(Oryndoll)的战争陷入了对峙,但敌人的军队设法切断了巴拉奎尔的外部增援。当心灵对话战争结束时,巴拉奎尔已经在灵吸怪手中沦陷,其大部分居民都成为了奴隶。
Gray dwarves trace their history back to the establishment of Barakuir, one of the eight kingdoms of Shanatar. The Iron Kingdom was dominated by the shield dwarves of Clan Duergar, who venerated Laduguer as their kingdom’s patron. Although they swore allegiance to the Wyrmskull Throne, the rulers of Clan Duergar thought their king should have been selected to rule Shanatar at the conclusion of the Second Spider War. Consumed with bitterness, the dwarves of Barakuir largely turned away from the rest of the empire. The foolishness of this action was quickly proved when war broke out with the illithids of Oryndoll, a city that lies deep beneath the Shining Plains, around –8100 DR. Although Shanatar battled the illithids to a stalemate, the enemy’s armies managed to cut off Barakuir from outside reinforcement. By the time the Mindstalker Wars had ended, Barakuir had fallen to the illithids, and most of its inhabitants had been enslaved as thralls.
经过千百年的奴役和无数的非法繁殖实验,杜尔加家族的后代变成了一个新的矮人亚种:灰矮人。大约在谷地历开始之前的四千年,杜尔加们开始反抗他们的灵吸怪主人,最终解放了他们自己,脱离了夺心魔的统治。这些新解放的灰矮人在欧司朗(Orsraun)山脉地下的北部幽暗地域和大冰川下面的偏远的洞穴中挖掘出自己的领地。
After millennia of enslavement and countless illithid breeding experiments, the descendants of Clan Duergar were transformed into a new dwarven subrace: the gray dwarves. Roughly four thousand years before the start of Dalereckoning, the duergar rebelled against their illithid masters and eventually freed themselves of the mind flayers’ dominion. These newly liberated gray dwarves carved out their own holdings in the northern Underdark beneath the Orsraun Mountains and in isolated caverns deep beneath the Great Glacier.
在北方,灰矮人在-3717 DR建立了刀刃之城格莱克斯图格。作为北地的第一个同类城市,不断的壮大在地表和地底都没有竞争对手。地下王国在-2600 DR左右达到了顶峰,但在-1803 DR,王国在粉碎了位于世界之脊下的泽地熊人(quaggoth)王国Ursadunthar之后,陷入了缓慢的衰落。此后的几个世纪里,过度扩张的灰矮人与野蛮的泽地熊人(被卓尔精灵煽动)战斗,而这场地底熊战争一直持续到-1350 DR。
In the North, gray dwarves founded Gracklstugh, City of Blades, in –3717 DR. As the first city of their kind in the North, its holdings grew without rival throughout the upper and middle Underdark. The Deepkingdom reached its peak around –2600 DR, but in –1803 DR, the kingdom fell into a slow decline after smashing the quaggoth nation of Ursadunthar which lay deep beneath the Spine of the World. For centuries thereafter, the overextended duergar battled barbaric quaggoths (who were incited by the drow), as the Deepbear Battles raged until –1350 DR.
在费伦的中心地带,灰矮人在欧司朗山脉地下建造了顿帕尔林,一座由下沉尖塔组成的城市。随着时间的推移,这个城市也被称为“地底尖顶城”,它逐渐包围了突米斯和巨龙海岸地下的幽暗地域,灰矮人也变得强大起来。-1850 DR,在他们最伟大的皇后杜拉的领导下,灰矮人发动了一系列的进攻,攻击安德莱斯城的卓尔精灵,奥林多尔的灵吸怪(据说杜拉从他们手中夺走了看不见的艺术(灵能)的秘密),以及其他黑暗种族。大约在-1800 DR左右,杜拉的军队将他们沸腾的仇恨转向了深地沙纳塔的残余势力——灰矮人超越了Ultoksamrin和Holorarar,并征服了Alatorin的洞穴。拉杜格用神力提升来奖励杜拉。后来,顿帕尔林陷入了长达数百年的衰落,直到最近才开始摆脱。在混乱之年,深地·杜拉的回归引发了帝国建设的新时代,但现在,城市的钢铁军队发现自己陷入了一场历时三年,与金矮人军队对古代沙纳塔洞穴的控制权发生的冲突中。
In the heart of Faerun, gray dwarves founded Dunspeirrin, City of Sunken Spires, beneath the Orsraun Mountains. In time, the holdings of Underspires, as the city was also known, grew to encompass the Underdark of Turmish and the Dragon Coast, and the gray dwarves grew strong. In –1850 DR, under the leadership of their greatest queen, Duerra, the gray dwarves launched a series of attacks against the drow of Undraeth, the illithids of Oryndoll (from whom Duerra is said to have wrested the secrets of the Invisible Art), and other Underdark races. Duerra’s armies turned their simmering hatred against the remnants of Deep Shanatar sometime around –1800 DR. The gray dwarves overran Ultoksamrin and Holorarar and conquered the caverns of Alatorin for themselves. Laduguer rewarded Duerra with divine ascension. Afterward, Dunspeirrin fell into a centuries- long decline, from which it has only recently begun to emerge. The return of Deep Duerra during the Time of Troubles has sparked a new age of empire-building, but the city’s Army of Steel now finds itself locked in a three-year-old conflict with the gold dwarf Army of Gold over control of the caverns of ancient Shanatar.
性格Outlook
灰矮人以悲观的眼光看待这个世界,他们深信家庭、家族、其他矮人与世界上其他的一切都骗走了他们天生与应得的权力。他们把生命看作是无休止的辛劳劳动,从出生到死亡的折磨。灰矮人对无助者和弱者没有丝毫的怜悯,喜欢折磨他们的受害者。从小时候起,灰矮人就很快接受了严酷世界的教育,他们被教导说,他们生活中的命运只不过是伴随着背叛和死亡的永无止境的劳动。灰矮人很少选择冒险。那些被流放或被迫逃离的人往往只为了生存而加入到冒险的生活中。灰矮人冒险者通常专注于物质财富的获取,很少关心他人的困境。
Gray dwarves view the world with bitterness, convinced family, clan, other dwarves, and the rest of the world have cheated them of their birthright and their due. They see life as nothing more than endless backbreaking labor, a torment from birth through death. The duergar evince little mercy for the helpless or the weak and enjoy tormenting those they can prey upon. From a young age, gray dwarves are quickly schooled in the harshness of the world, taught that their lot in life is nothing more than never-ending labor accompanied by betrayal and then death. Gray dwarves rarely adventure out of choice. Those who are exiled or flee imminent banishment often gravitate to the life of an adventure simply in hopes of surviving. Adventuresome duergar are usually focused on the acquisition of material wealth, caring little for the plight of others.
灰矮人角色GRAY DWARF CHARACTERS
从很小的时候起,所有笼罩在黑暗中的危险就教导了灰矮人。大多数灰矮人接受过战士或游荡者的训练,以便更好地保护他们的家园,抵御那些盗取他们辛苦挣来的财富的人。牧师也很常见,因为那些服务于双神的人在他们家族中相对更有影响力。将传统的铁匠工艺与奥术技巧结合起来的专家也受到了尊重。在灰矮人中,巫师比术士更常见。常见的多职业组合包括战士/牧师、战士/专家和战士/游荡者。
The ever-present dangers of the all-enveloping darkness are taught to gray dwarves from a young age. Most receive some training as fighters or rogues to better defend their homes against those who would steal their hard-earned wealth. Clerics are common as well, for those who serve the duergar gods claim positions of relative influence within their clan. Experts who combine traditional smithcraft with skill in the arcane arts are also much respected. Wizards are much more common than sorcerers among the gray dwarves. Common multiclass combinations include fighter/cleric, fighter/expert, and fighter/rogue.
受欢迎职业:灰矮人中最受欢迎的的职业是战士。(如果你的dm在你的游戏中使用了灵能手册,这可以由dm选择变为灵能战士。)幽暗地域的环境严酷无情,只有最强者才能生存。灰矮人战士经过多代已经成了灰矮人军队的基石,使灰矮人能够抵御诸如底栖魔鱼、卓尔精灵、灵吸怪、寇涛鱼人和地底侏儒等各种各样的威胁。
Favored Class: A gray dwarf’s favored class is fighter. (If your DM uses the Psionics Handbook in your game, this could be changed to psychic warrior at the DM’s option.) The Underdark is a harsh and unforgiving environment, where only the strongest can survive. Gray dwarf fighters have formed the bedrock of duergar armies for generations, enabling them to hold off such varied threats as aboleth, drow, illithids, kuo-toa, and svirfneblin.
进阶职业:灰矮人倾向于,如刺客和黑暗卫士这样的进阶职业。一些人成为矮人防御者。和他们的表亲盾矮人一样,灰矮人也有传统的符文魔法,所以一些神职人员成为符文师。
Prestige Classes: Gray dwarves gravitate toward prestige classes such as assassin and blackguard. A few become dwarven defenders. As with their cousins, the shield dwarves, the gray dwarves have a tradition of rune magic, and so a number of clerics become runecasters.
语言和文字Language and Literacy
像所有矮人一样,灰矮人会说矮人语并使用矮人文字母表。灰矮人也会说地底通用语,这是地底王国的贸易语言。原始的灰矮人方言杜尔加语是盾矮人方言的一个分支,深受地下卓尔语、灵吸怪语影响,语言结构与地底通用语相似。
Like all dwarves, gray dwarves speak Dwarven and employ the Dethek rune alphabet. Gray dwarves also speak Undercommon, the trade tongue of the Realms Below. The primary gray dwarven dialect, Duergan, is an offshoot of the shield dwarven dialect, heavily influenced by drow and illithid words and language constructs found in Undercommon.
常见的第二语言反映了灰矮人传统敌人所说的语言,包括龙语、精灵语(卓尔语)、巨人语、哥布林语和兽人语。那些与土元素生物有广泛接触的灰矮人经常学习土族语,而那些与上述领域的居民进行贸易的人经常学习贸易语言通用语。
Common secondary languages reflect those spoken by traditional foes, including Draconic, Elven (the drow dialect), Giant, Goblin, and Orc. Those who have extensive dealings with creatures of elemental earth often learn Terran, while those who trade with inhabitants of the Realms Above often learn the trade tongue Common.
除了野蛮人以外,所有灰矮人都有有读写能力。
All gray dwarf characters are literate except for barbarians.
灰矮人的魔法和知识Gray Dwarf Magıc and Lore
灰矮人有很强的神术施法传统,许多粗壮族裔被召唤作为牧师、符文师或符文铁匠为侍奉拉杜格尔或深地·杜拉。奥术施法者更为罕见,但擅长制作魔法物品的法师却备受尊敬。
Gray dwarves have a strong divine spellcasting tradition, with many of the Stout Folk called to serve Laduguer or Deep Duerra as clerics, runecasters, or runesmiths. Arcane spellcasters are much rarer, but wizards skilled in the crafting of magic items are much respected.
法术和施法SPELLS AND SPELLCASTING
灰矮人喜欢有助于他们战斗能力、有助于工艺或采矿或有助于秘密行动的法术。
Gray dwarves favor spells that aid their abilities in combat, assist in craftwork or mining, or facilitate stealthy movement.
施法传统:一些灰矮人拥有灰矮人心灵塑造者的专长(见附录),这是他们从夺心魔那里偷来的一部分知识。
Spellcasting Tradition: Some gray dwarves take the Duergar Mindshaper feat (see the appendix), part of the lore they stole from the mind flayers.
GRAY DWARF MAGIC ITEMS
灰矮人喜欢有助于战斗,有助于制作工艺,保护心灵,或使之能够隐形移动的魔法物品。刀刃和斧头通常有中毒、敏锐、秩序、强化劈砍、分裂攻击、晕眩、邪恶和伤害的特殊能力。锤和钉头锤通常有中毒、冲击、秩序、投掷返回、晕眩、分裂攻击、强化投掷和邪恶的特殊能力。盔甲通常有轻灵、暗影、光滑、无声动作和特殊的强化潜行移动的持续法术能力来制造的。
Gray dwarves favor magic items that aid in combat, facilitate craftwork, shield the mind, or enable stealthy movement. Blades and axes are commonly crafted with bane, keen, lawful, mighty cleaving, sundering, stunning, unholy, and wounding special abilities. Hammers and maces are commonly crafted with bane, impact, lawful, returning, stunning, sundering, throwing, and unholy special abilities. Armor is typically crafted with etherealness, shadow, slick, silent moves, and spell resistance special abilities that facilitate stealthy movement.
常见的魔法物品:蜘蛛斗篷、无迹尘埃、心灵守护环和锋利边缘的磨石。灰矮人对外来者的怀疑是出了名的,但是灰矮人的商人在整个幽暗地域进行贸易。在任何大型城镇规模的灰矮人定居点中,这些商品通常可享受10%的折扣。
Common Magic Items: Cloaks of arachnida, dust of tracelessness, rings of mind shielding, and whetstones of keen edge. Duergar are notoriously suspicious of outsiders, but duergar merchants trade throughout the Underdark. These items are commonly available at a 10% discount in any duergar settlement of at least large town size.
标志性魔法物品:灰矮人制造了许多独特的魔法物品,如吸收盾牌、冲击螺栓和岩石掠夺者斧头(见附录)。
Iconic Magic Items: Gray dwarves have fabricated many unique magic items, such as absorbing shields, bolts of battering, and stonereaver axes (see the appendix).
灰矮人神祗Duergar Deities
拉杜格,灰矮人的保护者,是灰矮人的严厉的监工和他们这个矮人亚种的守护神。虽然灰矮人名义上崇敬所有摩丁萨曼的矮人诸神,但事实上,他们只崇敬拉拉杜格和他的女儿杜拉。在沙纳塔崛起之前,每个盾矮人王国都有自己的守护神。巴拉奎尔王国,由杜尔格家族的矮人统治,尊崇拉杜格,但他却从未接受杜马松的拔擢,成为盾矮人的守护神。灰矮人的祖先在长期被奥林多尔的灵吸怪奴役期间继续崇拜拉拉杜格。与他们的盾矮人兄弟不同,灰矮人并没有将他们的宗教崇拜演变为对整个神系的崇拜。
Laduguer, the Gray Protector, is the harsh taskmaster of the duergar and the patron of their subrace. Although the duergar nominally venerate all the dwarven deities of the Morndinsamman, in truth they venerate only Laduguer and his daughter, Deep Duerra. Before the rise of Shanatar, each of the shield dwarven subkingdoms had its own patron deity. The kingdom of Barakuir, dominated by the dwarves of Clan Duergar, honored Laduguer and never accepted the ascension of Dumathoin as the patron deity of shield dwarves. The ancestors of the gray dwarves continued to honor Laduguer during their long enslavement by the illithids of Oryndoll. Unlike their shield dwarven brethren, the duergar did not evolve their religious practice toward the veneration of the pantheon as a whole.
据说,拉杜格的女儿深地·杜拉是一位伟大的武士皇后,她从夺心魔之神伊尔神思因(Ilsensine)那里窃取了许多灵能的秘密。深地·杜拉主要受到研究灵能的灰矮人和那些他们宁愿粉碎他们的地下邻居,也不愿与他们交易的好战的灰矮人的尊敬。她的信仰在突米斯的欧司朗山底下尤为强烈,在那里她的追随者统治着沉没尖塔之城顿帕尔林。
Deep Duerra, the Daughter of Laduguer, is said to have been a great warrior queen who stole many secrets of the Invisible Art (psionics) from Ilsensine, god of mind flayers. Deep Duerra is venerated primarily by duergar who study the Invisible Art and by those militant gray dwarves who would rather crush their subterranean neighbors than trade with them. Her faith is particularly strong beneath the Osraun Mountains of Turmish, where her followers rule Dunspeirrin, the City of Sunken Spires.
与其他种族关系Relations with Other Races
灰矮人冷酷,对外界充满怀疑,他们和所有其他种族,包括其他矮人亚种,关系都很差。灰矮人深恨他们的盾矮人表亲,这可以追溯到盾矮人在心灵对话战争中未能帮助杜尔加家族。亲属间的冲突永远巩固了两个矮人子亚种相互之间的仇恨,这种仇恨至今仍在继续。灰矮人认为他们的金矮人表亲是傲慢的对手和潜在的威胁,但这两个群体之间仍然在进行贸易。
Dour and suspicious of outsiders, gray dwarves have uniformly bad relations with all other races, including other dwarven subraces. The duergar regard their shield dwarf cousins with particular bitterness, dating back to the shield dwarves’ failure to succor Clan Duergar during the Mindstalker Wars. The Kin Clashes forever cemented the mutual animosity between the two dwarven subraces, a hatred that continues today. Gray dwarves regard their gold dwarf cousins as arrogant rivals and potential threats, but trade is possible between the two groups.
灰矮人对于地表居住的种族——精灵和半精灵,侏儒,半身人,半兽人,和神魔裔——保持怀疑,但愿意与那些鲁莽冒险进入地底的人进行贸易。灰矮人对他们的地下对手卓尔精灵和地底侏儒深恶痛绝。然而,他们经常与这两个群体进行贸易,尽可能使他们二者之间相互竞争。
Gray dwarves view the surface-dwelling races—elves and halfelves, gnomes, halflings, half-orcs, and planetouched—with suspicion but willingly trade with those who are foolhardy enough to venture into the depths. The duergar harbor a longstanding hatred of their subterranean rivals, the drow and the svirfneblin. Nevertheless, they regularly trade with both groups, pitting them against one another whenever possible.
灰矮人装备Gray Dwarf Equipment
灰矮人将流血的场景雕刻成许多他们制作的物品。虽然他们非常欣赏精细的工艺,但他们很务实,避免了华丽的装饰(如闪闪发光的宝石),因为这样可以防止他们从幽暗地域里被偷走。灰矮人商人可能富有也可能贫穷,这取决于他们寻求的讨价还价的能力。
Duergar carve and emboss scenes of bloodshed into many items they craft. Though they have a fierce appreciation for fine craftsmanship, they are pragmatic enough to shun ostentatious decoration (such as glittering gems) when it prevents them from creeping unseen through the Underdark. Duergar traders may be richly appointed or seem poorly equipped, depending on the sort of bargaining advantage they seek.
常见物品:异国军用马鞍、雷霆石和任何毒药。
Common Items: Exotic military saddles, thunderstones, and any poison.
独特的物品:灰矮人拥有完善的装甲润滑剂来帮助装甲战士进行秘密行动(见附录)。
Unique Items: Gray dwarves have perfected armor lubricant to assist armored warriors in stealthy maneuvering (see the appendix).
武器与防具ARMS AND ARMOR
与其他矮人相比,灰矮人更喜欢明显来源于工匠工具的武器。他们喜欢各种锤子和镐子。Even more so than other dwarves, duergar favor weapons clearly derived from the craftsman’s tools. They favor hammers and picks of all sorts.
常见物品:重型镐、轻型十字弓、轻型镐、锤、战锤、胸甲、链甲。
Common Items: Heavy pick, light crossbow, light pick, maul, warhammer, breastplate, chainmail.
动物和宠物ANIMALS AND PETS
灰矮人喜欢常见的蝙蝠、毛茸茸的蜘蛛、异足鼠和喷吐蜥蜴作为宠物和魔宠。地底洛斯兽是家畜的首选类型。他们用群居蜥蜴作为驮畜。尽管灰矮人以使用骑乘蜘蛛(steeder)(见附录)作为坐骑而闻名,但一些部落也使用骑蜥蜴。
Gray dwarves favor common bats, hairy spiders, osquips, and spitting crawlers as pets and familiars. Deep rothé are the preferred type of livestock. They employ pack lizards as beasts of burden. Although gray dwarves are known for their use of steeders (see the appendix) as mounts, some clans employ riding lizards as well.
