费伦的野精灵是与世隔绝和野蛮的,因此很少能在他们的森林家园外见到他们。在过去的岁月里,野精灵(或更为常见的绿精灵)在森林中建立了伟大的王国,并派出军队保卫家园,但随着时间的推移,他们已经放弃了文明的外衣,成为一个偷偷摸摸、与世隔绝的种族。野精灵总是与自然亲近,甚至比其他精灵更亲近,但他们已经忘记了许多他们的民族的高等艺术和知识,选择潜行和生存,而非建筑和书本上的学习。野精和其他精灵相比显得矮壮,他们的皮肤往往是深棕色,发色从黑色到浅棕色不等,随着年龄的增长会变亮到银白色。他们在除了自己的同类之外任何人周围都很安静,而在这种不舒服的情况下,他们很快就会怀有敌意。在野精灵生活中,服装是尽量少被使用的,但它们用各种纹身、战漆、羽毛和珠饰来弥补这一点,这些都显示出令人惊讶的、复杂和美丽的艺术特征。
The wild elves of Faerun are insular and savage, and as a result are rarely seen outside their forest homes. In ages past the wild elves (or green elves, as they were more commonly known) raised great kingdoms in the forests and fielded armies to defend their homes, but with the march of time they have abandoned the trappings of civilization, becoming a furtive, reclusive race. The wild elves were always close to nature, even more so than other elves, but they have forgotten many of the high arts and lore of their people, choosing stealth and survival over building and book learning. Wild elves are stocky and strongly built for elves. Their skin tends to be dark brown, and their hair ranges from black to light brown, lightening to silvery white with age. They are quiet around anyone except their own kind, and quickly become hostile in these uncomfortable situations. Clothing is kept to a minimum among the wild elves, although they make up for this with body decoration of all sorts—tattoos, war paint, feathers, and beaded jewelry that shows a surprising streak of complex and beautiful artistry.
野性精灵有他们的月亮和太阳精灵亲属相同的高度,但更重的体型。它们具有《玩家手册》表6-4和6-5中描述的老化特征,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:
Wild elves share the height of their moon and sun elf kin but are more heavily built. They have the aging characteristics described on 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:
野精灵,男性4'10" +2d10 100磅 × (2d4) 磅
野精灵,女性4'5" +2d10 80磅 × (2d4) 磅
Wild elf, male 4'10" +2d10 100 lb. × (2d4) lb.
Wild elf, female 4'5" +2d10 80 lb. × (2d4) lb.
History
野精灵并不总是如同他们今天变成了野性生物。很久以前,就他们当时所知道的,绿精灵是第一个发现艾勃尔-托瑞尔Abeir-Toril的精灵探险家(连同伊利斯瑞和翼精灵),他们很快就被这个神奇的年轻世界迷住了。在精灵的第一次迁徙中,绿精灵很轻易的成功了,他们建立了几个注定要成为大国的王国:泰阿尼塔Thearnytaar、艾勒Eiellur、西_皮尔Syopiir、米耶里塔Miyeritar和凯尔托米尔Keltormir。不幸的是,随着皇冠战争的到来,这些国家是最先陷落的。艾勒尔于-11400 DR和-11200 DR落入伊利斯瑞(黑暗精灵)之手。位于至高荒原的米耶里塔王国(Miyeritar)于-10500 DR完全被黑暗灾难所吞噬,而其他绿精灵王国情况则稍有好转。和平的绿精灵被证明对于残忍的黑暗精灵是相对容易的牺牲品,当皇冠战争在-9000 DR结束时,绿精灵田园诗般的世界被粉碎了。他们的伟大国家在几个世纪的残酷战争中被夷为平地,绿精灵开始了一段他们称之为流浪者的时期。他们从未完全从一万二千年前的挫折中恢复过来,也没有再在费伦建立大城市。
The wild elves were not always the feral creatures they have become today. Ages ago the green elves, as they were then known, were the first elven explorers (along with the lythari and the avariels) to discover Abeir-Toril, and they quickly became entranced with the wondrous young world. Of this first migration of elves, the green elves were easily the most successful, and they established several territories destined to become great nations: Thearnytaar, Eiellur, Syòpiir, Miyeritar, and Keltormir. Unfortunately, with the coming of the Crown Wars, these nations were among the first to fall. Eiellur fell to the Ilythiiri (the dark elves) in –11,400 DR, and Thearnytaar in –11,200 DR. The realm of Miyeritar, located where the High Moor now lies, was utterly consumed by the Dark Disaster in –10,500 DR, and the other green elf realms fared little better. The peaceful green elves proved to be relatively easy prey for the cruel dark elves, and by the time the Crown Wars ended in –9000 DR, the idyllic world of the green elves had been shattered. Their great nations razed in centuries of relentless warfare, the green elves began a time they refer to as the Wandering. They never recovered fully from the setbacks of twelve thousand years ago, and raised no more great cities in Faerun.
绿精灵的漂泊延续了几代精灵。幸存的绿精灵们越来越远离精灵社会,被迫作为逃亡者、奴隶或无根的流浪者生活了几个世纪,退到了费伦最深的森林和山脉中。当其他的精灵亚种在永聚岛Evermeet和科曼索Cormanthyr等地方建立了第二代精灵王国时,绿精灵将他们的信任放在了秘密和潜藏上,而不是城墙和力量上,仍然隐藏在他们的森林家园中。到约-5800 DR年扎姆达斯(Jhaamdath)崛起之时,绿精灵已经定居在几个仍然是他们古老家园的地方:琼达尔森林Chondalwood、阿穆塔Amtar森林和其他费伦南部的古老林地。
The Wandering of the green elves lasted for many long elven generations. Forced to live for centuries as fugitives, slaves, or rootless vagabonds, the surviving green elves receded further and further from elven society, withdrawing to the deepest forests and mountains of Faerun. While the other subraces races raised the second generation of elven realms in places like Evermeet and Cormanthyr, the green elves placed their trust in secrecy and stealth instead of walls and might, remaining hidden within their forest homes. By the time of Jhaamdath’s rise around –5800 DR, the green elves had settled into several of the places that are still their ancient homelands: the Chondalwood, the Forest of Amtar, and other great old woodlands of southern Faerun.
在过去的许多年里,绿精灵们越来越忘记他们古老的知识和技能,只关注那些重要的技能:潜行、生存、狩猎和隐藏。他们首先是氏族,然后是部落文化,最后是原始人。当然,他们仍然是精灵,高贵和魔法的物种,但是他们失去了释放强大法术和锻造魔法武器的技能。他们与当时崛起的人类帝国的短暂接触加剧了绿精灵的隐居,使他们更深入到荒野中,远离他们旧的生活方式。今天,绿精灵被更广泛地称为野精灵,这是一个在费伦南部炎热森林中的失落的种族。
Over the course of many years, the green elves forgot more and more of their ancient lore and skill, focusing on the only skills that mattered: stealth, survival, hunting, and hiding. They became first a clannish folk, then a tribal culture, and finally a primitive people. They remained elves, of course, creatures of nobility and magic, but they lost the arts of crafting mighty spells and forging magic weapons. Their fleeting contacts with the rising human empires of the day reinforced the green elf reclusiveness, driving them deeper into the wilds and further from their old ways. Today, the green elves are more widely known as the wild elves, a race lost in time in the sweltering forests of southern Faerun.
性格Outlook
野精灵的悲惨历史使他们不信任外界。他们对付入侵者的战术因部落而异。有些野精灵只是藏起来,让入侵者在不知情的情况下经过,而另一些则会攻击捕获这些入侵者。他们很少杀死他们捕获的人,而更喜欢使用魔法来改变他们的记忆,然后在释放它们之前把它们带到很远的地方。他们交朋友的速度很慢,而大多数非精灵的寿命根本不足以获得绿精灵部落的信任。他们擅长战斗,经常沉迷于混乱而原始的愤怒。没有什么能比一个愤怒的绿精灵部落的更加的暴怒。
The tragic history of the wild elves has left them untrusting of outsiders. Their tactics for dealing with intruders vary from tribe to tribe. Some simply hide and allow the trespassers to go by unknowing, while others attack to capture such interlopers. They rarely kill those they capture, preferring to use magic to alter their memories and carry them far away before releasing them. They make friends slowly, and most nonelves simply don’t have the lifespans required to gain the trust of a tribe of green elves. They excel in combat and often revel in its chaos and primal fury. Little can match the fury of an enraged tribe of green elves.
野精灵角色WILD ELF CHARACTERS
与其他精灵相比,野精灵更看重武力。野蛮人和游侠在野精灵中很常见。野精灵并不觉得自己接近席德瑞恩诸神,也不经常成为神职人员,而作为梅丽凯Mielikki、西凡纳斯Silvanus或瑞里芬·莱勒菲Rillifane Rallathil的德鲁伊信仰大自然本身。野精灵没有书写的传统,他们在任何情况下都没有足够的耐心学习数小时,因此他们很少成为发生。与其他精灵不同,他们更欣赏术士的艺术。
More so than any other elves, wild elves value the martial skills. Barbarians and rangers are very common among the wild elves. The wild elves do not feel close to the Seldarine and do not often become clerics, instead venerating nature itself as druids of Mielikki, Silvanus, or Rillifane Rallathil. Wild elves have no written tradition and little patience for hours of study in any event and so rarely become wizards. Unlike other elves, they prefer the sorcerer’s arts.
受欢迎的职业:尽管他们缺乏学习和技能,野精灵在奥术魔法方面的天赋和大多数其他精灵一样。他们最喜欢的职业是术士,这是一条奖励自发性和创造性能量而非在古老、已成型的大部头书中学习数小时的力量之路,。
Favored Class: Despite their lack of learning and skill, wild elves are just as naturally talented at arcane magic as most other elves. Their favored class is sorcerer, a path of power that rewards spontaneity and creative energy instead of hours of dry study in ancient, moldering tomes.
进阶职业:少数野精灵战士/术士遵循魔弓手的道路,但绿精灵中最常见的进阶职业是大祭司。野性精灵可以成为非常强大的德鲁伊,他们的领袖经常向德鲁伊寻求指导和支持。
Prestige Classes: A small number of wild elf fighter/sorcerers follow the path of the arcane archer, but the most common prestige class among the green elves is the hierophant. Wild elves can become very powerful druids, and their leaders often turn to druids for guidance and support.
野精灵社会Wild Elf Society
在与朋友和亲戚在一起时,野精灵是像月亮精灵般愉快和外向的。他们的盛宴和庆祝活动是非常欢乐的活动,有唱歌、跳舞和各种各样的娱乐活动。最受欢迎的庆祝方式之一是狩猎。狩猎是部落事务,所有的精灵,无论老少,都要参与。实际上狩猎本身有时只是整个活动的一小部分,其中还包括宗教仪式和部落节日。
Among their friends and kinfolk, wild elves are pleasant and outgoing, somewhat like the moon elves. Their feasts and celebrations are events of great joy, with singing, dancing, and all manner of merry-making. One of the most beloved ways to celebrate is to engage in a hunt. Hunts are tribal affairs in which all elves, young and old, have a part. The actual hunt itself is sometimes only a small part of the overall event, which also includes a religious ceremony and a tribewide festival.
绿精灵分散的部落性质也意味着没有两个完全相同的部落。一些人定居在永久性的村庄中,拥有简陋的小屋;而另一些人则是游牧民族,居住在帐篷里,在广阔的荒原上游荡。野精灵中性别隔离也很常见,有些部落是纯母系的,而另一些则是父系的。
The scattered, tribal nature of the green elves also means that no two tribes are exactly alike. Some have settled in permanent villages with crude huts, while others are nomadic, dwelling in tents and wandering over vast wilderness territories. Gender segregation is common; some tribes are exclusively matriarchal, while others are patriarchal.
虽然他们对音乐和艺术有很大的兴趣,但野精灵很少创造出永久的艺术作品。对于野性精灵来说,艺术的乐趣在于创作的过程,即兴创作歌曲、舞蹈或其他效果。他们厌恶地认为,试图通过制作永久性的艺术作品、以书面形式录制歌曲或故事等方式来“捕捉”这一过程会禁锢世界不断变化的美。
Although they have a great interest in music and art, wild elves create few permanent works of art. To the wild elf, the joy of art lies in the creative process, the spontaneous creation of song or dance or effects. They view with distaste attempts to “capture” this process by making permanent works of art, recording songs or stories in writing, and so on, maintaining that to do so imprisons the ever-changing beauty of the world.
语言和文字Language and Literacy
所有的野精灵都会说精灵语,通用语,和他们家乡的语言。他们是孤立主义者,不信任外人,所以他们很少学习邻居的语言,尤其是敌人的语言。常见的附加语言包括豺狼人语,伊路斯坎语,兽人语,木族语,塔夏拉语。
All wild elves speak Elven, Common, and the language of their home region. They are isolationists and do not trust outsiders, so they rarely learn the languages of their neighbors, especially their enemies. Common additional languages include Gnoll, Illuskan, Mulan, Orc, Shaaran, Sylvan, and Tashalan.
玩家(野蛮人除外)的野精灵角色是识字的,但所有其他野精灵角色都是文盲。
Wild elf characters who choose a player character class (other than barbarian) are literate, but all other wild elf characters are illiterate.
Abilities and Racial Features
野精灵拥有被遗忘的国度战役设定中列出的所有种族特征,除了如下:
•精通半矛、短弓和长弓。与其他精灵亚种不同的是,野精灵喜欢不用金属和铁匠制作的武器。
Wild elves have all the racial traits listed in the FORGOTTEN REALMS Campaign Setting, except as follows:
• Proficient with halfspear, short bow, and long bow. Unlike the other elf subraces, wild elves favor weapons they can make without a source of metal and a smithy.
野精灵的魔法与知识Wild Elf Magic and Lore
虽然在古代,绿精灵是精灵高等魔法的主要开发者之一,但他们作为这一强大艺术的实践者的日子早已一去不复返。今天,他们的施法者几乎都是德鲁伊或术士。
Although in ancient times the green elves were one of the key developers of elven high magic, their days as practitioners of this potent art are long gone. Today, their spellcasters are almost all druids or sorcerers.
法术与施法SPELLS AND SPELLCASTING
野精灵的魔法经常与自然紧密相连。虽然他们的法术背后的理论可能与其他种族的法术相同,但野精灵施法者通常会在法术中添加额外的语言、身体动作和物质成分,以使其看起来更自然(见附录中的原始施法者专长)。这些附加组件不会显著增加法术的实际施法时间。
Wild elf magic is often tied closely to nature. Although the theory behind their spells may be identical to that practiced by other races, wild elf spellcasters often add additional verbal, somatic, and material components to a spell simply to make it seem more naturalistic (see the Primitive Caster feat in the appendix). These additional components do not significantly increase the actual casting time of the spell.
野精灵魔法物品WILD ELF MAGIC ITEMS
如果野精灵觉得自己与自然世界距离太远,它们甚至会避开强大的魔法物品。他们特别厌恶锻造金属和穿着大多数服装。他们自己的魔法物品看似粗犷原始,但和他们更加文明的亲戚一样有效。他们特别喜欢魔法纹身,很多野精灵都有纹身魔法专长(见附录)。
Wild elves eschew even the most powerful magic items if they appear to be too far removed from the natural world. They have a particular aversion to forged metal and to most clothing. Their own magic items appear to be crude and primitive, but they are just as effective as their more civilized counterparts. They are particularly fond of magic tattoos, and many wild elves take the Tattoo Magic feat (see the appendix).
野精灵神祗Wild Elf Deities
野精灵崇拜席德瑞恩诸神,特别是瑞里芬·莱勒菲,但这种崇拜并不接近其他精灵亚种的有组织的教会结构。相反,绿精灵在冲动驱使下会单独崇拜。他们经常与自然神灵的神系交流,每一个神系成员都代表着动物或自然现象的原型。
The wild elves worship the Seldarine, in particular Rillifane Rallathil, but this worship does not approach the regimented, organized structure of the other elven subraces. Rather, the green elves worship individually when the urge takes them. They commune constantly with a pantheon of nature spirits, each representing an archetypal member of an animal or natural phenomenon.
与其他种族的关系Relations with Other Races
绿精灵不寻求与他人的关系,他们尽最大努力保持未知不被人察觉。然而,众所周知,野精灵会与冒险家、探险家和迷路的旅行者互动。通常,这些人被抓获后,他们的记忆会被神奇地被抹去,然后被释放到远离部落的地方。精灵很少允许流浪者参观他们的营地,通常除非是在极度危险,他们被迫求助于外界援助的时候。那些设法打动甚至成为野精灵部落的朋友的人会发现他们的友谊是强大的和稳固的,这些人通常还会被赋予野精灵纹身或灵魂兽彩绘。
The green elves do not seek out relations with others, and they do their best to remain unseen and unknown. Nevertheless, wild elves have been known to interact with adventurers, explorers, and lost travelers. Usually, these people are captured, their memories magically erased, and then let go somewhere far from the tribal lands. Rarely, the elves allow a wanderer to visit their camp, usually in times of dire peril when they are forced to call upon outside aid. Those who manage to impress and even befriend a tribe of wild elves find that their friendship is strong and loyal, and such individuals are often gifted with wild elf tattoos or spirit animals.
野精灵装备Wild Elf Equipment
野精灵喜欢在战斗或狩猎中制造和修理武器和工具。尽管野精灵鄙视“文明”的物品,但他们擅长于创造与自然和谐的事物。例如,他们的树顶村庄是健康的树木的不可分割的一部分,他们的工程与侏儒建筑师格格不入。
Wild elves prefer weapons and tools they can make and fix in the middle of a battle or hunt. Despite their disdain for “civilized” goods, wild elves are adept at crafting things in harmony with nature. Their treetop villages, for example, are inextricably part of the healthy trees that support them—an engineering feat that would baffle the best gnome architect.
武器和防具ARMS AND ARMOR
野精灵喜欢使用简单的武器:弓、粗骨匕首、刀和棍棒,这些武器可以用能够在野外被发现的材料制作。他们特别喜欢弓和半矛。如果有必要着甲,野性精灵更喜欢穿革甲。在大多数情况下,野性精灵认为盔甲限制了他们依靠隐蔽和敏捷的防御。
Wild elves prefer using simple weapons that can be crafted from materials found in the wilderness: bows, crude bone daggers and knives, and clubs. They have a particular fondness for bows and halfspears. Wild elves prefer to wear hide armor, if anything at all. For the most part, wild elves find armor too restrictive, relying on concealment and agility for defense.
动物和宠物ANIMALS AND PETS
野精灵非常喜欢动物,大多数部落把它们当作守护者和猎人的伙伴。狼通常存在于野精灵的部落中,各种各样的猛禽,大猫,甚至狼獾也会出现此。这些动物的进阶会稍微罕见一些。
Wild elves are quite fond of animals, and most tribes use them as guardians and hunters’ companions. Wolves are commonly found in wild elf tribes, as are birds of prey of all kinds, great cats, and even wolverines. Dire versions of these animals are only slightly more rare.
野精灵也相信他们每个人都是与一种灵魂动物一起出生的,这是一种作为守护天使和自然世界顾问结合的向导。所有年轻的野精灵都要经历一个复杂的仪式,在一个充满蒸汽和燃烧草药烟雾的封闭区域内需要几个小时(通常超过一天)。在这期间,野精灵会看到他的灵性动物,在他的余生中,他会感到被这种动物守卫和保护着。
Wild elves also believe that each of their kind is born with a spirit animal, a guide of sorts that serves as a combination of guardian angel and advisor to the natural world. All young wild elves undergo an involved ritual that demands several hours (often in excess of a day) in an enclosed area filled with steam and the smoke of burning herbs. At some time during this period the elf receives a vision of his spirit animal, and for the rest of his life he feels guarded and protected by this animal.
