琼达斯人是一个坚强的民族，他们不怕冒险、旅行或定居在新的土地，他们总是希望自己和家人在金钱上更好。由于琼达斯人文化在这么多遥远的土地上扎根，琼达斯人在大多数人类社会中都很舒适。许多琼达斯人都是各种各样的商人，为了金钱出售他们的技能和劳动成果。尽管琼达斯人是熟练的雇佣军和狡猾的游荡者，但琼达斯文化并没有鼓励人们学习艺术或伟大的宗教热情。值得注意的例外也存在，特别是在对内海北部西部受到耐色瑞尔影响的琼达斯文化中的艺术的研究。
Chondathans are hardy folk, not afraid to take risks, travel, or settle new lands, and are always looking to better themselves and their families monetarily. As Chondathan culture has taken root in so many distant lands, Chondathans are comfortable in most human societies. Many Chondathans are merchants of one sort or another, selling their skills and the fruits of their labors for coin. Although Chondathans make skilled mercenaries and cunning rogues, Chondathan culture has not encouraged study of the Art or great religious fervor. Notable exceptions exist, particularly in the study of the Art among the Netherese influenced Chondathan cultures that lie north and west of the Inner Sea.
从维洪海岸的发源地开始，琼达斯人移民已经在大部分西部和中部内海地区以及大部分西部央土定居了。在他们的祖国之外，包括奥屯贝尔、科米尔、谷地南部、巨龙海岸、巨谷、隆德斯城和维洪海岸的北岸、内海海盗岛、桑比亚和赛斯派茨，琼达斯人构成了主要的种族群。多亏了远行的琼达斯商人，即使在纯血琼达斯人很少或几乎不存在的地区，也有人能说琼达斯语。琼达斯人的祖先、语言和文化构成了达玛拉人、瓦萨人和泰瑟尔人遗产的重要组成部分。
From the cradle of the Vilhon Reach, Chondathan emigrants have settled most of the western and central Inner Sea region as well as much of the Western Heartlands. Outside their homeland, Chondathans form the primary racial stock of Altumbel, Cormyr, the southern Dalelands, the Dragon Coast, the Great Dale, Hlondeth and the north shore of the Vilhon Reach, the Pirate Isles of the Inner Sea, Sembia, and Sespech. Thanks to farwandering Chondathan traders, the Chondathan tongue is spoken even in regions where the number of pureblooded Chondathans is small or nearly nonexistent. Chondathan ancestry, language, and culture form a significant portion of Damaran, Vaasan, and Tethyrian heritage.
琼达斯人是苗条的黄褐色皮肤人种，从近乎金色到近乎黑色的棕色头发。大多数琼达斯人都很高，有绿色或棕色的眼睛，但所有的体型、头发和眼睛的颜色都可能出现。那些居住在落星海北部和西部（桑比亚除外）的琼达斯人比出生在南部的人更有可能拥有蓝色的眼睛、更美丽的肤色和更深色的头发，这是一个重要的耐色瑞尔人后裔的证据。在琼达斯本土，特别是在与赛斯派茨接壤的土地上，最近几个世纪大量涌入的夏亚人给了许多琼达斯土著更多的橄榄色肤色。
Chondathans are slender, tawny-skinned folk with brown hair ranging from almost blond to almost black. Most Chondathans are tall and have green or brown eyes, but all builds and hair and eye hues may be seen. Those Chondathans who dwell north and west of the Sea of Fallen Stars (except in Sembia) are more likely to have blue eyes and have fairer complexions and darker hair than those born in the South, evidence of a significant Netherese heritage. In Chondath itself, particularly in the lands bordering Sespech, a significant Shaaran influx in recent centuries has given many natives of Chondath more of an oliveskinned hue.
琼达斯人认为自己几乎是偶然地控制了费伦中部；他们通过贸易和结算而不是通过军队“征服”了更多的土地。他们对自己的语言和文化的优越性很少表现出的傲慢和骄傲。同样，与他们的族群相比，琼达斯人更倾向于根据他们的民族起源（如科米尔人、谷地人桑比亚人）来确定自己的身份。如果琼达斯人确实有一个共同的缺点，那可能是他们的文化重点放在财富和财富的获取上。这并非偶然，在琼达斯人中，威望和影响力往往直接与财富挂钩，商人贵族在大多数受琼达斯文化影响的社会中发挥着重要作用。
Chondathans regard themselves as having come to dominate central Faerun almost by accident; they have “conquered” more land through trade and settlement than with armies. They show little arrogance and only a small amount of pride regarding the predominance of their language and culture. Likewise, Chondathans are more apt to identify themselves by their national origins (such as Cormyrean, Dalesfolk, or Sembian) than by their ethnic group. If Chondathans do have a common vice, it is perhaps their cultural focus on wealth and its acquisition. Among Chondathans, prestige and influence are often directly tied to wealth, and it is no accident that the merchant nobility plays a strong role in most societies influenced by Chondathan culture.
历史History
琼达斯人的祖先可以追溯到古代扎姆达斯的剑之十二城，由伟大的武士国王贾姆在大约-5800 DR建立。扎姆达斯位于琼达尔森林北部，沿维洪海岸南岸，前哨从巨龙海岸延伸至阿卡纳（Akanal）。只有伟大的琼达尔森林公然违抗了扎姆达斯的统治，人类的军队和斧头被奈克瑞玛斯王国（Nikerymath）的木精灵们阻挡在海湾里许多年。
Chondathans trace their ancestry back to the Twelve Cities of Swords in ancient Jhaamdath, founded around –5800 DR by the great warrior-king Jhaam. Jhaamdath lay north of the Chondalwood along the south shore of the Vilhon Reach, with outposts stretching from the Dragon Coast to the Akanal. Only the great Chondalwood defied Jhaamdath’s dominion, the human armies and axes held at bay for many years by the wood elves of Nikerymath.
在-5032 DR，扎姆达斯与米尔王国和柯兰珊王国在控制蒸汽湖的问题上发生冲突，促成了卡林杉的统一。经过几十年的战斗，卡林杉和扎姆达斯同意在-5005 DR休战。在随后的几千年里，扎姆达斯止步不前，居民变得越来越仇外和孤僻。扎姆达斯甚至从大约-1500 DR到-1069 DR被恩瑟打败了。
In –5032 DR, Jhaamdath clashed with the Kingdoms of Mir and Coramshan over control of the Lake of Steam, precipitating the unification of Calimshan. After several decades of fighting, Calimshan and Jhaamdath agreed to a truce in –5005 DR. In the millennia that followed, Jhaamdath sank into stagnation, its inhabitants becoming increasingly xenophobic and withdrawn. Jhaamdath even fell under the sway of Unther from roughly –1500 DR to –1069 DR.
直到-276 DR，在扎姆达斯最后一个军阀夺取政权并呼吁建立一支强大的海军，驶向内海，征服新的土地后，扎姆达斯的居民再次向外转移。建造这样的船只需要砍伐许多树木，这一举动重新引发了扎姆达斯和精灵统治的奈克瑞玛斯之间的战争，并导致了精灵王国的毁灭。为了复仇，四位奈克瑞玛斯高等法师释放出一股巨大的潮水，咆哮着冲上扎姆达斯的海湾，粉碎了剑之十二城，并将地形重塑成今天所称的“维洪海岸”。然而，精灵高等法师的行为并非毫无后果，因为他们的奥艺加速了海精灵阿瑞瑟尔马里尔帝国（Aryselmalyr）的衰落，并释放出人类无情的扩张浪潮，最终取代了费伦中北部的大部分精灵王国。
Not until –276 DR did Jhaamdath’s inhabitants turn outward once again, after Jhaamdath’s last warlord seized power and called for the building of a strong navy to sail out upon the Inner Sea and conquer new lands. Such ship-building required the felling of many trees, a move that reignited war between Jhaamdath and elven-ruled Nikerymath and led to the elven realm’s destruction. Seeking vengeance, four High Mages of Nikerymath unleashed a gargantuan tidal wave that roared up Jhaamdath’s bay, smashing the Twelve Cities of Swords and reshaping the topography into what is known today as the Vilhon Reach. The actions of the High Mages were not without consequence, however, for their Art precipitated the fall of the sea elven empire of Aryselmalyr and unleashed an inexorable tide of humanity that eventually displaced most of the elven realms of northcentral Faerun.
许多在这一年的暴风骤雨中幸存下来的人（–255 DR）——务实的探矿者、讨厌精灵的士兵、商人和少量和平的学者和农民的大潮——开始殖民那些后来被称为因布图、塞斯克和翰土的土地。在占据了内海中北部大部分地区之后，扎姆达斯人的后代于1 DR开始从因布图向西迁移，定居在谷地和龙湖的北岸。后者于26 DR在奥博斯卡（Obarskyr）家族的统治下建立了科米尔森林王国。
Many of those who survived the Year of the Furious Waves (–255 DR) set out to colonize lands that would later become known as Impiltur, Thesk, and the Vast, in a vast tide of pragmatic prospectors, elf-hating soldiers, merchants, and a sprinkling of peaceful scholars and farmers. After occupying much of the northcentral Inner Sea region, the descendants of Jhaamdath began migrating westward from Impiltur in the year 1 DR, settling the Dalelands and the northern shore of the Dragonmere. The latter group founded the Forest Kingdom of Cormyr in 26 DR under the rule of House Obarskyr.
回到维洪海岸，那些在50 DR左右仍在建立新城市的人，包括伊尔加克（Iljak）、穆萨（Mussam）、萨马拉（Samra）和阿拉巴（Arrabar）。在经历了又一场瘟疫，再次引起了琼达尔森林——39 DR于琼达斯成立的城市联邦——的精灵的愤怒之后，琼达斯就一直存在，尽管在877 DR的抵抗精灵之剑和900–902 DR的腐烂战争中，它只不过是一个城邦集合。
Back in the Vilhon Reach, those who remained established new cities around the year 50 DR, including Iljak, Mussam, Samra, and Arrabar. After suffering yet another plague and again incurring the wrath of the elves of Chondalwood, the cities united to form Chondath in 139 DR. Chondath has existed ever since, although it was reduced to little more than a collection of city-states during the Elfblade Stand of 877 DR and the Rotting War of 900–902 DR.
第三波琼达斯人的迁徙发生在380 DR年代，当时来自琼达斯的定居者沿着后来成为商业王国桑比亚领土的海岸建立了Chancelgaunt（后来是塞尔刚特Selgaunt）和Chondahan（后来是塞尔伦Saerloon）的殖民地。与科曼索精灵的敌对行动导致了“歌唱箭支之战”（884 DR）的失败，并导致琼达斯人在腐烂战争之后放弃了对遥远殖民地的统治。这反过来导致了在913 DR银乌鸦之地桑比亚的成立。
A third wave of Chondathan migration occurred in the 380s DR, when settlers from Chondath established the colonies of Chancelgaunt (later Selgaunt) and Chondathan (later Saerloon) along the coast of what would later become the Merchant Kingdom of Sembia. Hostilities with the elves of Cormanthyr led to defeat at the Battle of Singing Arrows (884 DR) and led Chondath to renounce the governance of its far-flung colonies in the aftermath of the Rotting War. This in turn led to the founding of Sembia, the Land of the Silver Raven, in 913 DR.
在随后的几个世纪里，桑比亚的商人，以及还有少部分科米尔和谷地的商人继续以较小的数量向西和西北方向发展，将琼达斯文化和语言从泰瑟尔传播到野蛮的边境。659 DR，银月城作为一个魔法研究的中心的兴起，促使一部分少数但有影响力的琼达斯人迁移到银月城，并在一个只有少数琼达斯商人才能到达的土地上建立了琼达斯文化和语言。
Traders from Sembia and, to a lesser extent, Cormyr and the Dalelands continued west and northwest in smaller numbers in the centuries that followed, spreading Chondathan culture and language from Tethyr to the Savage Frontier. The rise of Silverymoon as a center of magical study in 659 DR precipitated the migration of a small, but influential, number of Chondathans to Silverymoon and established Chondathan culture and language in a land that had only been reached by a handful of Chondathan merchants until that time.
今天，琼达斯文化和语言主导了费伦的中部和西部。古贸易语，由扎姆达斯和卡林杉的古老王国之间的相互交流产生的文字，通常被用作大多数人类语言的文字。此外，费伦的贸易语言通用语只是一种现代版本的thorass（“古通用语”），后者主要基于扎姆达斯语（“古琼达斯语”）和阿瑟多语（卡林杉的语言）。尽管卡林杉人、伊玛斯卡人、穆兰人和耐色瑞尔人各自在他们的时代打造了费伦最伟大的人类帝国时，现在文化占主导地位的是琼达斯，一个由商业和金钱而非由刀剑或法杖发展壮大的帝国。
Today, Chondathan culture and language dominates much of central and western Faerun. Thorass, the alphabet that arose from interactions between Jhaamdath and the Old Kingdoms of Calimshan, is commonly employed as the alphabet of most human tongues. Moreover, Common, the trade language of Faerun, is simply a modern version of Thorass (“ Old Common”), which in turn was largely based on Jhaamdathan (“Old Chondathan”) and Alzhedo, the language of Calimshan. While the Calishites, the Imaskari, the Mulan, and the Netherese may have each forged the greatest human empires of Faerun in their day, it is the Chondathans whose culture now predominates, an empire spread by commerce and coin, not by sword or staff.
性格Outlook
琼达斯人通过人或家庭获得了多少财富和影响力来衡量其他人。对于一个琼达斯人来说，假设可以在价格上达成一致，所有的东西都是出售的。阴谋和秘密操纵只是达到目的的手段，但不必要的流血是毁灭性和浪费性的。去大多数人发现，权力不可避免地会转向控制钱袋的人，而不是持有最强武力的人，并据此设定他们的愿望。各行各业的激烈竞争是琼达斯人社会的指导原则，在其限定范围内成长的人们习惯于看到财富的得失与地位的得失相称。琼达斯人希望每个人都只顾自己，当别人无私的时候，他们常常会感到惊讶。
Chondathans measure others by how much wealth and influence a person or family has acquired. To a Chondathan, all things are for sale, assuming one can agree upon a price. Intrigue and covert manipulation are simply means to an end, but unnecessary bloodshed is destructive and wasteful. Chondathans have found that power inevitably swings to whoever controls the purse strings, not whoever carries the biggest sword, and set their aspirations accordingly. Fierce competition in all walks of life is the guiding rule of Chondathan society, and those raised within its confines are used to seeing fortunes won or lost, with commensurate gains or losses in stature. Chondathans expect each individual to look out for himself or herself, and they are often surprised when others act selflessly.
琼达斯人之所以喜欢冒险，有两个原因：一是一些人拿起武器和咒语来捍卫他们最珍视的东西，这是一个传统，可以追溯到早期的琼达斯定居者。另一些人则被同样的冲动所吸引，这种冲动会让琼达斯商人进入陌生的土地寻找贸易机会，渴望在未知的地方寻找财富。大多数以冒险为职业的琼达斯人都被吸引去通过掠夺一些早已被遗忘的坟墓或从一个古老的废墟中回收一些神奇的宝藏来获得巨大财富。
Chondathans are drawn to adventuring for one of two reasons: Some take up arms and spells to defend that which they hold most dear, a tradition harkening back to the early Chondathan settlers. Others are drawn to a life on the road by the same impulses that send Chondathan merchants into unfamiliar lands in search of trading opportunities, a hunger to search for wealth in the unknown. Most Chondathans who adopt adventuring as a career are drawn to the potential of acquiring great wealth by looting some long-forgotten tomb or recovering some fabulous treasure from an ancient ruin.
琼达斯人角色CHONDATHAN CHARACTERS
遵从文化中长期存在的雇佣传，统琼达斯人通常是优秀的战士。同样地，许多琼达斯人发现他们的称呼是游荡者，这是他们文化强调财富获取和广泛技能的产物。在琼达斯中最常见的多职业组合是战士/游荡者。琼达斯人很少成为野蛮人、法师或术士，因为没有一个庞大的琼达斯人群体恢复到野蛮状态；古代扎姆达斯人与龙、社会或其他方面的关系相对较少；而法术长期以来与琼达斯人民间传说中瘟疫的释放有关。那些确实存在的琼达斯人术士通常来自内海北部和西部的土地，他们的祖先中有一个或多个高等耐色瑞尔奥术师。
Chondathans typically make good fighters, drawing on their culture’s long-standing mercenary tradition. Likewise, many Chondathans find their calling as rogues, a product of their culture’s emphasis on the acquisition of wealth and the wide range of skills. The most common multiclass combination among Chondathans is fighter/rogue. Chondathans are rarely barbarians, sorcerers, or wizards, as no sizable group of Chondathans has ever reverted into barbarism; ancient Jhaamdath had relatively few relations with dragons, social or otherwise; and wizardry has long been associated with the unleashing of plagues in Chondathan folklore. Those Chondathan sorcerers who do exist usually hail from lands north and west of the Inner Sea and have one or more High Netherese ancestors in their heritage.
进阶职业：琼达斯经常成为受到神启发的进阶职业，如奥术信徒、神力斗士、神力信徒、神力寻者和大祭司。琼达斯人既崇拜邪恶的神祗也崇拜善良的神祗，因此在这个种族的邪恶阵营成员中，黑色卫士并不少见。许多竖琴手属于琼达斯的文化遗产，因此竖琴手斥候的进阶职业也很常见。同样地，科米尔人大部分都是琼达斯人后裔，所以很多紫龙骑士都是琼达斯人。
Prestige Classes: Chondathans often take up the study of the divinely inspired prestige classes, such as arcane devotee, divine champion, divine disciple, divine seeker, and hierophant. Chondathans worship evil deities as well as good, so blackguards are not unusual among evil-aligned members of this ethnic group. Many Harpers are of Chondathan heritage, so the Harper scout prestige class is also common. Similarly, the folk of Cormyr are largely of Chondathan descent, so many Purple Dragon knights are Chondathans.
琼达斯人社会Chondathan Society
整个费伦各地区的琼达斯人文化差异很大。与其他文化，特别是卡林杉文化和穆兰文化相比，琼达斯人社会的阶级划分相对较弱。辛勤工作和好运足以使不止一个下层阶级的成员成为商人贵族。商业在所有以琼达斯人为主的文化中都扮演着重要的角色，这就产生了一个格言：一切都是以一定的价格出售的。尽管不是出于道义上的原因，但琼达斯人信守他们的诺言。一个人的声誉就像一个钱包，里面有固定数量的金钱，一旦浪费掉，回购的成本就会很高。
Chondathan culture varies widely across Faerun. Compared to other cultures, particularly Calishite and Mulan, Chondathan societies have relatively weak class divisions. Hard work and good fortune have been enough to catapult more than one member of the lower classes into the merchant nobility. Commerce plays an important role in all Chondathan-dominated cultures, giving rise to the maxim that everything is for sale at some price. Chondathans honor their word, although not for moral reasons. One’s reputation is like a purse with a fixed number of coins that, once squandered, is costly to repurchase.
由于琼达斯人重视书本学习，许多人在成长过程中接受了一定的教育。琼达斯人的年轻人12岁时就已成为一名大师的学徒，他们在学徒期间还将学习贸易。琼达斯人对健全的贫困人口几乎没有耐心，所有的成年人都应该在他们所训练的任何领域里获得自己的生活费。在琼达斯人社会，富人受到了极大的尊重，那些愚蠢地挥霍金钱的人受到了轻视。琼达斯人将一直工作到身体不能再工作或死亡。即使是那些体弱无力谋生的人，也常常在原来的工作地点度过日子，为那些取代他们的人提供建议。
As Chondathans place a high value on book learning, many receive some amount of schooling while growing up. Chondathan youths are apprenticed to a master by the age of 12 and are expected to learn a trade during their apprenticeship. Chondathans have little patience for able-bodied indigents, and all adults are expected to earn their own keep in whatever field they were trained. Wealthy persons are afforded great respect in Chondathan societies, and those who squander money foolishly are looked down upon. Chondathans are expected to work until no longer physically capable or until death. Even those too infirm to earn a living often pass their days at their former place of work, offering advice to those who have replaced them.
在琼达斯人主宰的土地之外，琼达斯人努力融入当地文化，即使这意味着学习一种新的语言或转向对当地神的崇拜。当然，这样的整合策略不会干扰与当地民众分享琼达斯人的生活必需品和习俗，随着时间的推移，这种做法逐让他们渐融入当地文化。琼达斯人少数民族通常会组织自己进入商会或交易成本商，以获得保护，并最大限度地增加获利机会。
Outside Chondathan-dominated lands, Chondathans strive to integrate into the local culture, even if that means learning a new tongue or converting to the worship of the local gods. Of course, such integration strategies do not interfere with sharing Chondathan necessities and customs with the local populace, a practice that over time slowly subsumes the local culture. Chondathan minorities usually organize themselves into merchant houses or trading costers for protection and to maximize their opportunities for profit.
语言和文字Language and Literacy
琼达斯人说通用语和琼达斯语两种关系密切的语言。琼达斯语是通用语的来源之一，是扎姆达斯语（“旧琼达斯语”）的现代形式，是古贸易语（“古通用语”）的两个来源之一。琼达斯语使用了古贸易语的字母表——用于表示数千年前在蒸汽湖沿岸开始使用的贸易语言的字符。
Chondathans speak Common and Chondathan, two closely related tongues. Chondathan, one of the root tongues of Common, is the modern form of Jhaamdathan (“Old Chondathan”), which was one of two root tongues of Thorass (“Old Common”). Chondathan employs the Thorass alphabet, a set of characters used to represent the trade tongue that came into use thousands of years ago along the shores of the Lake of Steam.
由于许多琼达斯人居住在其他人类文化中（或至少与此类社会有广泛的贸易联系），许多人学习当地语言或最近邻居的语言。通常学习的第二语言包括伊路斯坎语（如果被调查的人生活在西央土或北地）、达玛拉语（如果她生活在费伦中北部）、夏亚语（如果她生活在维洪海岸的南部）、图拉米语（如果她生活在维洪海岸的北岸）或阿瑟多语（如果她生活在蒸汽湖的沿岸）。施法者，尤其是那些居住在科米尔或谷地的人，通常学习耐色瑞尔语和精灵语，以便从旧的来源获得魔法。在这些地区之外，很少有琼达斯人学习精灵语，这是一个世代冲突的遗留产物，也是未来冲突的一个可能来源。
As many Chondathans dwell amid other human cultures (or at least have extensive trade contacts with such societies), many individuals learn the local tongue or the language of their nearest neighbor. Commonly learned second languages include Illuskan if the individual in question lives in the Western Heartlands or the North, Damaran if she lives in northcentral Faerun, Shaaran if she lives south of the Vilhon Reach, Turami if she lives on the northern shore of the Vilhon Reach, or Alzhedo if she lives along the shores of the Lake of Steam. Spellcasters, particularly those who dwell in Cormyr or the Dalelands, usually learn Netherese and Elven in order to acquire magic from old sources. Few Chondathans outside those areas learn Elven, a legacy of generations of conflict and a likely contributor to future conflicts.
除了野蛮人外，所有的琼达斯人都是有读写能力的。
All Chondathan characters are literate except for barbarians.
琼达斯人魔法和知识Chondathan Magic and Lore
琼达斯人没有强大的奥术施法传统，琼达斯人血统也不包括产生大量术士的祖先。然而，许多人被神祗吸引，成为牧师或德鲁伊。在千年前的大迁徙中，琼达斯人把他们的许多神的崇拜带到了费伦的各个角落；有时有人说琼达斯人用他们的黄金和神征服了一个大陆。Chondathans do not have a strong arcane spellcasting tradition, nor do Chondathan bloodlines include the ancestry that gives rise to a great number of sorcerers. However, many Chondathans are drawn to the divine and become clerics or druids. In their great diaspora of a thousand years past, the Chondathans carried the worship of many of their gods to all corners of Faerun; it’s sometimes said that Chondathans conquered a continent with their gold and their gods.
法术和施法SPELLS AND SPELLCASTING
研究法术的琼达斯人仍然是多面手，成为炼金师学习广泛的法术选择的，或者成为护法师的来学习防护系的法术。
Chondathans who study wizardry remain generalists, become transmuters for the wide spell selection, or learn the abjurer’s art for the protection such spells afford.
施法传统：琼达斯人有很强的神术施法传统，特别是那些致力于与自然和谐的神，包括德鲁伊和游侠职业。任何有助于穿越遥远的琼达斯陆地的魔法都会受到赞赏，无论是一个用于安全夜晚休息的低级绳索技巧，还是一个强大的风行法术。其他受欢迎的是有助于商业的神术，如真理区、传送、语言和正义标志（执行合同）。在被指控传播信仰的琼达斯人牧师中，选择琼达斯传教士的专长（见附录）很常见。
Spellcasting Tradition: Chondathans have strong divine spellcasting traditions, especially among those devoted to deities attuned to nature, including druids and rangers. Any spell that helps travel across the far-flung Chondathan lands is appreciated, whether it’s a lowly rope trick for a safe evening’s rest or a powerful wind walk spell. Also favored are divine spells that assist in commerce, such as zone of truth, sending, tongues, and mark of justice (to enforce contracts). Among Chondathan clerics charged with spreading the faith, the Chondathan Missionary feat (see the appendix) is common.
独特的咒语：琼达斯人文化的广泛性，再加上琼达斯人中缺乏奥术施法传统（除非是由耐色瑞尔难民引入），使得了很少有咒语与琼达斯文化有独特的联系。古代扎姆达斯有着瘟疫魔法，如大规模传染病和瘟疫携带者（见附录），它们毁城灭国的效果十分令人恐惧，但幸运的是，它们只被记录在长期隐藏的大部头书中。
Unique Spells: The widespread nature of Chondathan culture, combined with the lack of an arcane spellcasting tradition among Chondathans (except where introduced by Netherese refugees), has ensured that few spells are uniquely associated with Chondathan culture. The plague magics of ancient Jhaamdath, such as mass contagion and plague carrier (see the appendix), are much feared for their fell effects but are fortunately recorded only in long-hidden tomes.
琼达斯魔法物品CHONDATHAN MAGIC ITEMS
琼达斯人喜欢提供个人保护或舒适、方便旅行、防止盗窃以及能够秘密收集信息的魔法物品。剑和匕首通常是用防御、敏锐和速度的附魔来制造的。盔甲通常是用箭偏转、强化和法术抵抗的附魔能力来制作的，这反映了琼达斯文化长期以来对精灵和游荡者的恐惧。
Chondathans favor magic items that provide personal protection or comfort, facilitate travel, guard against theft, and enable the surreptitious gathering of information. Swords and daggers are commonly crafted with defending, keen, and speed special abilities. Armor is typically crafted with arrow deflection, fortification, and spell resistance special abilities, reflecting Chondathan culture’s long-standing fear of elves and rogues.
常见的魔法物品：魔法之手，伪装帽子，休沃德的随身背包，箭套手套，穆林德的勺子，以及防毒用具。由于这些物品在琼达斯人的土地上的普遍存在，在科米尔、桑比亚、巨龙海岸或维洪海岸的任何大城市，可以以正常价格的10%折扣购买这些项目。
Common Magic Items: Hand of the mage, hat of disguise, Heward’s handy haversack, gloves of arrow snaring, Murlynd’s spoon, and periapt of proof against poison. Due to the prevalence of these items in Chondathan lands, they may be purchased at a 10% discount from the normal price in any large city in Cormyr, Sembia, the Dragon Coast, or the Vilhon Reach.
标志性魔法物品：同样，由于琼达斯人商人的影响，很少有琼达斯文化独有的魔法物品没有在费伦广泛传播。这条规则的一个例外是猫眼胸针（见附录），这被许多富裕的琼达斯人视为的好运和魅力而佩戴，他们把猫视为好运和抵御疾病威胁的卫士。
Iconic Magic Item: Again, thanks to the influence of Chondathan merchants, there are few magic items unique to Chondathan culture that have not been widely disseminated across Faerun. One exception to this rule is the catseye brooch (see the appendix), a good luck charm worn by many well-to-do Chondathans, who view cats as good luck and defenders against the threat of disease.
琼达斯人神祗Chondathan Deities
琼达斯人崇拜费伦神系的神。大量的琼达斯人聚居地遍布费伦，没有任何神是琼达斯人特别崇拜的。事实上，琼达斯人传统上采用了其他文化的神灵，将它们融入到他们庞大的神系中。在琼达斯地区主要被崇拜的神祗包括阿祖斯、裳提亚、迪奈尔、埃达丝、海姆、克兰沃、洛山达、黎尔拉、劳薇塔、玛拉、麦斯克、梅丽凯、密黎尔、密斯特拉、诺班恩、欧格玛、苏伦、西凡纳斯、淑妮、塔烙斯、坦帕斯、托姆、泰摩拉、提尔、安博里和渥金。
Chondathans honor the deities of the Faerunian pantheon. Such is the magnitude of the Chondathan diaspora that no deity is particularly favored by the majority of Chondathans across Faerun. In fact, Chondathans have traditionally adopted the deities of other cultures, incorporating them into their sprawling pantheon. Gods and goddesses venerated in regions inhabited primarily by Chondathans include Azuth, Chauntea, Deneir, Eldath, Helm, Kelemvor, Lathander, Lliira, Loviatar, Malar, Mask, Mielikki, Milil, Mystra, Nobanion, Oghma, Selune, Silvanus, Sune, Talos, Tempus, Torm, Tymora, Tyr, Umberlee, and Waukeen.
古代的扎姆达斯是最早发展文字的人类文明之一，因此，有文化的琼达斯人长期以来都尊崇所有象形文字和图像之主迪奈尔。当琼达斯的商人们传播通用的贸易语言或其前身古贸易语时，迪奈尔教堂已经传播到其他文明，并带来了古贸易语字母表。目前，在居住在科米尔和桑比亚的有读写能力的琼达斯人中，迪奈尔教堂的影响最大。
Ancient Jhaamdath was one of the first human cultures to develop the written word, and, as such, literate Chondathans have long honored Deneir, the Lord of All Glyphs and Images. The church of Deneir has spread to other cultures as Chondathan traders spread the trade tongues of Common or its antecedent, Thorass, bringing with them the Thorass alphabet. At present, the church of Deneir has its greatest influence among those literate Chondathans who dwell in Cormyr and Sembia.
同样地，古代扎姆达斯的战争也伴随着可怕的魔法瘟疫，因此塔洛娜自文明兴起以来就一直是琼达斯文化的一部分。尽管近年来其他宗教的活动在费伦造成了更大的破坏，但塔洛娜教堂在现代的琼达斯还是广受恐惧和辱骂。然而，由于她所产生的恐惧和痛苦，少数的琼达斯人转向瘟疫之母，并希望获得古老的瘟疫滋生魔法——据说她的邪教控制了这种魔法。
Similarly, ancient Jhaamdath’s wars were fought with horrible magical plagues, so Talona has been a part of Chondathan culture since the rise of that culture. The church of Talona is widely feared and reviled among modern-day Chondathans, despite the activities of other faiths that have wreaked far greater devastation across Faerun in recent years. Nevertheless, a small number of Chondathans turn to the Mother of All Plagues precisely because of the fear and misery she has engendered and in hopes of acquiring the ancient plague-spawning magic her cult is said to control.
与其他种族关系Relations with Other Races
琼达斯人的历史充满了与各种精灵王国的冲突，因此，很少有琼达斯人（除了一些科米尔人和大多数谷地人）与优雅族裔或他们的半精灵兄弟有良好的关系。同样地，琼达斯人传统上把接触到的神魔裔视为可以的目标，因为琼达斯人文化从来没有与外层位面有过太多的互动，他们遇到的大多数接触到的神魔裔都是琼达斯文明的竞争文明的代表（如卡林杉的风和火元素裔，或穆尔霍兰德的阿斯莫和提夫林）。恩瑟半兽人被大多数琼达斯人认为比他们的血腥同胞好不了多少。他们被视为仅仅是为了破坏贸易和掠夺辛勤移民的农场而四处袭击渣滓。
Chondathan history is replete with clashes with various elven realms, and, as a result, few Chondathans (with the exception of some Cormyreans and most Dalesmen) have good relations with the Fair Folk or their half-elven brethren. Likewise, Chondathans have traditionally regarded the planetouched with a great deal of suspicion, as Chondathan culture has never had a great deal of interaction with outsiders and most planetouched they have encountered were representatives of rival cultures (such as the air and fire genasi of Calimshan, or the aasimar and tieflings of Mulhorand and Unther). Half-orcs are considered little better than their full-blooded brethren by most Chondathans. They are seen as little more than raiding scum intent only on disrupting the flow of trade and pillaging the farms of hardworking settlers.
琼达斯人与矮人、侏儒和半身人有着良好的关系，因为所有这些种族都被证明是良好的贸易伙伴，并且传统上居住在琼达斯人社会的小飞地中。在人类文化中，琼达斯人与卡林杉人、达玛拉人、夏亚人、泰瑟尔人和图拉米人相处得最好。和穆兰人的关系从来都不好，伊路斯坎人被认为比兽人好一点，而其他文化在很大程度上是未知的。
Chondathans have good relations with dwarves, gnomes, and halflings, for all have proven to be good trading partners and have traditionally dwelled in small enclaves within Chondathan societies. Among human cultures, Chondathans get along best with Calishites, Damarans, Shaarans, Tethyrians, and Turami. Relations with the Mulan have never been warm, Illuskans are regarded as little better than orcs, and other cultures are largely unknown.
琼达斯人装备Chondathan Equipment
通过几个世纪的商业活动，琼达斯商人已经将他们的文化贸易商品遍布费伦，使他们喜爱的武器、盔甲和其他装备无一例外都成为整个地区的标准。同样地，琼达斯人也采用了其他文化中最有用的东西作为自己的东西，使它们在整个费伦地区司空见惯。因此，玩家手册中的设备列表可以被视为反映了琼达斯人标准。
Through centuries of commerce, Chondathan merchants have spread their culture’s trade goods across Faerun, making their favored weapons, forms of armor, and other equipment the norm throughout the region, not the exception. Similarly, Chondathans have adopted the most useful items of other cultures as their own, making them commonplace across Faerun. As such, the equipment lists found in the Player’s Handbook can be seen as reflecting the Chondathan norm.
武器与防具ARMS AND ARMOR
琼达斯人确实有一些独特的装备偏好。最受欢迎的武器包括十字弓（除非在以长弓为标准的谷地）和各种各样的刀刃，包括长剑、短剑和匕首。常用的防具形式包括皮甲、镶钉皮甲、链子衬衫、链甲、胸甲、半板甲和各种盾牌。较重的盔甲在坠星海以北较冷的地区更为常见。
Chondathans do have some distinct equipment preferences. Favored weapons include crossbows (except in the Dalelands where longbows are the norm) and all manner of blades, including the longsword, the short sword, and the dagger. Commonly employed forms of armor include leather armor, studded leather armor, chain shirts, chainmail, breastplates, half-plate, and shields of all kinds. Heavier forms of armor are more commonly employed in the cooler climes to the north of the Sea of Fallen Stars.
常见物品：链甲、链子衬衫、长剑和十字弓都可以在琼达斯人处以10%的价格购买。
Common Items: Chainmail, chain shirts, longswords, and crossbows can all be purchased among the Chondathans for 10% less.
独特的物品：琼达斯钢剑（见附录）刀刃比普通长剑更宽，更受雇佣兵和商人的青睐。
Unique Item: Somewhat broader in the blade than usual for a longsword, Chondathan steelswords (see the appendix) are favored by mercenaries and merchant guards.
动物和宠物ANIMALS AND PETS
琼达斯人喜欢猫科动物作为宠物和狩猎伙伴，特别是在科米尔森林王国。翼猫十分受那些负担得起的人的喜爱。养狗的人比较少，主要由看守、放牧和狩猎品种组成。马在琼达斯人社会中扮演着重要的角色，但是那些能负担得起马的人也雇佣了骏鹰，特别是在维洪海岸沿岸和科米尔的战争巫师。
Chondathans favor small felines as pets and hunting companions, particularly in the Forest Kingdom of Cormyr. Tressyms are highly favored by those who can afford them, as are lynxes. Dogs are owned to a lesser extent and consist primarily of guard, herding, and hunting breeds. Horses play an important role in Chondathan society, but those who can afford them also employ hippogriffs, particularly along the shores of the Vilhon Reach and in the service of the War Wizards of Cormyr.
相关生物：在隆德斯城（Hlondeth），蛇很常见，从米尔丛林进口的飞蛇近年来得到广泛的欢迎。飞蛇在附录的怪物部分有描述。
Associated Creature: In Hlondeth, serpents are the norm, with flying snakes imported from the Mhair Jungles achieving widespread popularity in recent years. Flying snakes are described in the Monsters section of the appendix.
琼达斯地区Chondathan Region
琼达斯人来自不同的土地，通常选择与他们的家乡一致的地区。这里描述的琼达斯人地区反映了商人、雇佣军和来自内海周围陆地的水手的流动人口。
Chondathans hail from a variety of different lands and typically choose the region matching their homeland. The Chondathan region described here reflects the mobile population of merchants, mercenaries, and sailors from the lands around the Inner Sea.
首选职业：僧侣、德鲁伊、战士、游侠和游荡者更喜欢琼达斯地区。这些职业之一的角色可以选择一个地区专长，并根据选择获得下列的1级角色奖励装备。其他职业的琼达斯人角色不能选择这里的地区专长，不获得奖励装备。
