今天，东部土地上的兽人集中在月海和无尽荒野，而分布在其间的各种土地上的兽人则少得多。一个灰兽人看起来不像他们更野蛮的北方亲戚那么如同野兽，但显然还是非人类。它们有点多毛，头、肩和背上有长长的鬃毛。他们的脸不像山地兽人那么像猪，除了他们的獠牙。它们有黄色、橙色或红色的眼睛、羽扇豆状的耳朵和黑色或灰色的头发。灰兽人比山地兽人更喜欢穿“文明”的衣服，喜欢深浅不同的棕色、黑色、蓝色和其他深色。肤色通常是灰色的，胸部和侧面有浅灰色或深灰色的斑点。
The orcs of the eastern lands are concentrated in the Moonsea and Endless Wastes today, with a much smaller number scattered through the various lands that lie between. A gray orc looks less bestial than their more savage northern kin, but is still obviously nonhuman. They are somewhat hairy, with long manes of bristly hair on their heads, shoulders, and backs. Their faces are less porcine than the mountain orcs, with the exception of their tusks. They have yellow, orange, or red eyes, lupine ears, and black or gray hair. Gray orcs are more apt to wear “civilized” clothing than mountain orcs, and prefer varying shades of brown, black, blue, and other dark colors. Skin tones are usually gray with mottled patches of lighter or darker gray on the chest and flanks.
灰兽人特征具有半兽人的起始年龄、预期寿命、身高和体重特征。参见《玩家手册》第6章。
Gray orc characters have the starting age, life expectancy, and height and weight characteristics of half-orcs. See Chapter 6 of the Player’s Handbook.
历史History
在费伦的大部分历史中，东部的土地相对来说没有兽人的灾难。不幸的是，这一切都在–1081 DR发生了变化，当时作为古代伊玛斯卡法师最后一个幸存学徒的巫术导师塞尔德打开了一扇通往由狂热宗教兽人帝国统治的野蛮世界的致命大门。不久之后，塞尔德被处决，因为他煽动了穆尔霍兰德的法师们并使他们叛变，他没有让任何知道传送门存在的人活着在费伦。五年来，这座传送门一直处于休眠状态，直到兽人发现它，兽人冲进并包围了穆尔霍兰德和恩瑟。这次袭击持续了六年，历史学家们称之为兽人门战争。
The lands of the East were relatively free of the orc scourge for much of Faerun’s history. Unfortunately, this all changed in –1081 DR, when the Theurgist Adept Thayd, last surviving apprentice of the ancient Imaskari wizards, opened a fateful portal to a savage world dominated by empires of fanatically religious orcs. Thayd was executed not long after for inciting the wizards of Mulhorand and Unther into rebellion, leaving no one on Faerun who knew of the existence of the portal. For five years, the portal remained dormant until it was discovered by the orcs, who poured through and laid siege to the nations of Mulhorand and Unther. This attack lasted for six years and became known to historians as the Orcgate Wars.
兽人门战争始于-1076 DR，迅速升级为一场毁灭性的战争。兽人战士杀死了成千上万人，但这支军队最可怕的一面是它的法术力量。这些兽人比北方的兽人更狂热，他们的牧师发展出惊人的强大和致命的咒语。这些法术中最强大的是兽人牧师召唤他们神的直接化身的能力，这是他们经常用来压倒敌人的能力。穆尔霍兰德和恩瑟的神也拥有居住在费伦的化身，但他们花费了大部分的力量，把他们的信徒从伊玛斯卡帝国统治下多年的压迫中解放出来，而并没有准备好保护他们的信徒免受兽人部落的压迫。然而，这两个国家的神反对兽人，兽人的回应是召唤他们自己神的化身。由此而来的战争是众神之战，一场巨大力量冲突，使这片土地受到了创伤。穆尔霍兰德主神雷（Re）被兽人神系的领袖格乌什（Gruumsh）杀死。更多兽人神祗紧随其后，一些恩瑟神系的神祗被兽人神的化身杀死。尽管他们战胜了敌人，兽人的军队和他们的神灵的力量还是被严重削弱了。两年后，穆尔霍兰德和恩瑟神系的残部集结起来，在-1069 DR打败了兽人和他们的神祗。
The Orcgate Wars began in –1076 DR and quickly escalated into a war of devastating proportions. Orc warriors slew thousands upon thousands, but the most terrible aspect of this army was its magical might. These orcs were much more fanatical than those of the North, and their clerics had developed amazingly powerful and deadly spells. The most potent of these magics was the ability for the orc clerics to call upon direct avatars of their deities, an ability they used often to overwhelm their enemies. The gods of Mulhorand and Unther also possessed avatars that dwelt on Faerun, but they had expended much of their power in freeing their faithful from years of oppression under the Imaskari Empire, and were ill-prepared to defend their flock from the orc hordes. Nevertheless, the deities of these two nations opposed the orcs, who responded by calling upon avatars of their own gods. The resulting battle was the Battle of the Gods, a titanic clash of power that scarred the land. The Mulhorandi deity Re was slain by the leader of the orc pantheon, Gruumsh. Many more followed, as several powers of the Untheric pantheon were slain by the avatars of the orc gods. The orc armies and their deities were terribly weakened, despite their victory over their enemies, and two years later the shattered remnants of the Mulhorandi and Untheric pantheons rallied to defeat the orcs and their deities in –1069 DR.
兽人部落的毁灭是如此彻底，以至于该地区的灰兽人永远无法完全恢复。在接下来的几百年里，灰兽人一次又一次地分裂成无数的小部落，散布在塞尔、月海和邻近地区。同类之间的激烈内讧使得灰兽人无法恢复到他们在兽人门战争中曾经拥有的力量。
So complete was the destruction of the orc horde that the gray orcs in the region have never been able to fully recover. Over the next several hundred years, the gray orcs fragmented time and time again into countless small tribes scattered throughout Thay, the Moonsea, and neighboring regions. Bitter infighting among their own kind has kept the gray orcs from returning to the power they once wielded during the Orcgate Wars.
性格Outlook
灰兽人和他们的北方表亲一样卑鄙、蒙昧和野蛮，但他们缺乏山地兽人征服和奴役的动力。一个灰兽人很可能对事件突然做出不理性的反应，相比逻辑他们更容易信任内心和本能。当一个灰兽人有机会攻击一个被憎恨的对手时，即使他以前被同一个敌人残忍地击败了几十次，他也会毫不犹豫地攻击。
Gray orcs are just as mean, savage, and barbaric as their northern cousins, but they lack the mountain orcs’ drive to conquer and enslave. A gray orc is quite likely to react suddenly and irrationally to events, trusting to his heart and instincts more readily than logic. When presented with an opportunity to attack a hated rival, a gray orc doesn’t hesitate to attack even if he has been brutally defeated dozens of times before by the same enemy.
灰兽人角色GRAY ORC CHARACTERS
一个灰兽人的力量让他适合战士和野蛮人的职业，他们的感知和狡猾也使他们成为有效的游侠。
A gray orc’s strength leads to the fighter and barbarian classes, and their perception and cunning also make them effective rangers.
受欢迎的职业：牧师。尽管灰兽人对野蛮人的野蛮生活很满意，但他们往往比北方兽人更冷静和镇定，能够把愤怒和仇恨集中在内心。这使他们能够成为好战的兽人牧师。
Favored Class: Cleric. Although gray orcs are comfortable with the savage life of the barbarian, they tend to be more calm and collected than northern orcs, focusing their rage and hatred inward. This allows them to excel as clerics of the warlike orc deities.
进阶职业：灰兽人对大多数进阶职业没有直接的兴趣，他们更喜欢从一开始就选择一个职业。许多兽人牧师如果能达到要求，就会成为神力斗士或神力信徒，但很少有人能活得到那个时候。
Prestige Classes: Gray orcs don’t have an immediate interest in most prestige classes, and prefer to remain with the one class they chose from the start. Many orc clerics become divine champions or divine disciples if they can meet the requirements, but few live long enough to do so.
灰兽人社会Gray Orc Society
灰兽人是游牧民族。他们住在费伦东北偏僻荒芜的角落里，尽可能地维持生活，随着季节的变化，沿着传统的迁徙路线在已建立的营地和喜爱的洞穴之间旅行。当一个地区的资源不足时，一个部落就会转移到更富饶的土地上。
Gray orcs are nomads. They dwell in remote, desolate corners of northeast Faerun and eke out a meager existence as they can, traveling along traditional migratory routes between established campsites and favorite caves as the seasons change. When resources in an area run low, a tribe moves on to greener fields.
一个典型的灰兽人部落由30到50个成员组成，由部落中最强大的兽人领导。这个兽人被称为酋长，他负责决定部落何时攻击它的邻居。这个职位充其量只是暂时的，因为兽人酋长经常被杀害（无论是在战斗中还是通过背叛），取而代之的是新酋长。然而，一个灰兽人部落背后的真正力量，是该部落的大祭司，他通常是一个熟练的或牧师（通常是女性），已经担任这个职位多年。灰兽人是狂热信徒，他们部落牧师的话就是法律。其他部落的牧师通常被视为异教徒，尽管两个部落可能以相同的方式崇拜同一个神。
A typical gray orc tribe consists of 30 to 50 members, led by the strongest orc in the tribe. This orc is known as a chieftain, and he is responsible for deciding when the tribe attacks its neighbors. The position tends to be a temporary one at best, for orc chieftains are constantly being killed (either in battle or through treachery) and replaced by new chieftains. The true power behind a tribe of gray orcs, though, is the tribe’s high priest, who is typically an adept or cleric (often female) who has held the position for many years. The gray orcs are zealots, and the word of their tribal clerics is law. Clerics from other tribes are usually viewed as heretics, despite the fact that both tribes likely worship the same deity in the same manner.
语言和文字Language and Literacy
灰兽人说的是兽人语的复杂变体。任何能说兽人语的人都能理解这种语言，但是许多单词、屈折和发音在部落间差异很大，通常需要几天时间来整理和适应新部落的特点。灰兽人不喜欢学习新语言，但是一个部落的牧师通常知道通用语（审问俘虏）和巨人语和地精语（与可能的盟友互动）。
The gray orcs speak a complex variant of the Orc tongue. Anyone who can speak Orc can understand this language, but many words, inflections, and pronunciations vary wildly between tribes and usually a period of a few days is required to sort out and get used to the idiosyncrasies of a new tribe. Gray orcs are not fond of learning new languages, but a tribe’s clerics typically know Common (to interrogate captives) and Giant and Goblin (to interact with possible allies).
灰兽人是不识字的，除非他们有1级的玩家角色野蛮人之外地底职业。
Gray orcs are not literate unless they have a level in a player character class other than barbarian.

灰兽人的魔法和知识Gray Orc Magic and Lore
奥术施法者，在灰兽人中不为人所知，非常罕见。在一个以残暴和力量为主导的社会里，没有更多的学术研究空间。那些成为奥术施法者的兽人总是孤独或被排斥。
Arcane spellcasters, while not unknown among gray orcs, are quite rare. In a society dominated by brutality and strength, there isn’t much room for more academic study. Those orcs who do become arcane spellcasters are invariably loners or outcasts.
神术施法者在灰兽人中更为常见。当他们在兽人门战争中第一次入侵费伦时，他们拥有许多独特而强大的法术，其中最强大的法术可以召唤出施法者的神祗的化身。自从他们失败后，他们对大部分魔法的了解就失传了，现在兽人的导师和牧师专注于更普通的法术。灰兽人不经常成为德鲁伊。
Divine spellcasters are much more common among the gray orcs. When they first invaded Faerun during the Orcgate Wars, they possessed many unique and powerful spells, the most powerful of which was one that could conjure an avatar of the caster’s deity. Since their defeat, knowledge of much of this magic has been lost, and now orc adepts and clerics focus on more common magics. Gray orcs do not often become druids.
灰兽人魔法物品GRAY ORC MAGIC ITEMS
熟练的牧师和导师经常制作卷轴和药剂来帮助他们自己或增强他们部落的力量，但在大多数情况下，灰兽人部落中发现的大部分魔法物品都是从敌人的尸体中偷来的物品。
Adepts and clerics often craft scrolls and potions to aid themselves or to bolster the strength of their tribe, but for the most part the majority of magical items found in a tribe of gray orcs consist of items stolen from the bodies of their enemies.
灰兽人神祗Gray Orc Deities
灰兽人平等地崇拜各种兽人神祗。他们承认格乌什是兽人神的领袖，但一个典型的灰兽人并不觉得有必要比其他任何神更崇拜他，他们通常会选择一个与兽人的特殊兴趣和气质最接近的神。一个特定部落的大多数兽人都崇拜同一个神。
Gray orcs worship all the various orc deities equally. They acknowledge Gruumsh as the leader of the orc gods, but a typical gray orc doesn’t feel bound to worship him above any other deity, and usually selects a deity that most closely aligns with that orc’s particular interests and temperament. Most of the orcs of a particular tribe worship the same deity.
与其他种族关系Relations with Other Races
除了他们的直系部落成员外，灰兽人与任何人都相处不好。他们对其他兽人部落会报以猜疑和嫉妒的目光。由于猜测另一个部落比自己所属的部落拥有更好的生活，兽人部落经常互相攻击以窃取资源。他们对其他种族没有特别的仇恨：灰兽人几乎对每个人都有同样的仇恨。值得注意的例外是地精和狗头人（兽人经常接受他们的部落作为仆人或奴隶）和食人魔（兽人崇拜他们的野蛮力量）。
The gray orcs don’t get along well with anyone apart from their immediate tribe. Other orc tribes are viewed with suspicion and jealousy. Since it’s assumed that another tribe has it better off than the one you belong to, orc tribes often attack each other to steal resources. They have no particular hatred for other races; gray orcs pretty much hate everyone equally. Notable exceptions are goblins and kobolds (whom the orcs often accept into their tribes as minions or slaves) and ogres (whom the orcs admire for their savage strength).
灰兽人装备Gray Orc Equipment
灰兽人比山地兽人干净得多，因此他们的装备保持在更好的状态。尤其是斧子被视为神圣的，兽人对他的斧子非常小心，不断地磨尖它，修复凹痕和微小的折断。他们经常通过在斧头的柄刻痕或者在斧头的头部刻上名字来记录他们最伟大的杀戮。兽人的斧头上通常装饰着羽毛、珠子、宝石和从战败的敌人那里获得的身体部位（最受欢迎的是手指和耳朵）。灰兽人喜欢轻甲，这使得他们可以利用他们的速度来获得最大的优势。
Gray orcs are marginally cleaner than mountain orcs, and their equipment is kept in better shape as a result. Axes in particular are viewed as holy, and an orc takes fastidious care of his axe, sharpening it and repairing dents and tiny fractures constantly. They often keep track of their greatest kills by notching an axe’s handle or inscribing names on the head of the axe. Tokens such as feathers, beads, gems, and body parts harvested from defeated enemies (fingers and ears are a favorite) often adorn an orc’s axe. Gray orcs favor light armor that allows them to use their speed to best advantage.
动物和宠物ANIMALS AND PETS
灰兽人部落通常保留一个小动物或野兽家族作为警卫，但照顾这些动物是部落整体的责任。这些守护者通常并不十分危险，因为许多部落已经学会了一种艰难的方法——保持像鲨蜥兽一样强大的方法是让部落吃东西。普通的部落守护者包括凶暴鼬、凶暴狼獾、凶暴野猪、枭熊和各种各样的害虫。
Gray orc tribes often keep a small family of animals or beasts as guardians, but care of such creatures are held to be the responsibility of the tribe as a whole. These guardians are not typically very dangerous, since many tribes have learned the hard way that keeping something as powerful as a bulette is a good way to get the tribe eaten. Common tribe guardians include dire weasels, dire wolverines, dire boars, owlbears, and various kinds of vermin.
