[閒聊] 維基我流譯文之瓦拉基斯七世

[johnkry (john)]

[1].
本文譯自維基

在龍與地下城角色扮演遊戲裡，

瓦拉基斯發音[vlakiθ]，

他是在集結同胞起義對抗伊立西魔的吉絲死後，

吉斯洋基一族的第一個統治者。

瓦拉基斯一百五十七世也為人所知是位巫妖，在遊戲裡的一位小說角色與敵人。

歷史

瓦拉基斯一世是一位吉絲的參謀，

他協助吉斯訂立了吉斯洋基與紅龍一族的條約。

吉斯洋基後來所有繼位的女王均以她的名字做為稱號。

最後的吉斯洋基女皇，瓦拉基斯一五七世，

她在沒有留下任何後嗣的情況下死於登基之後，

並以－巫妖－典型的不死形式復活回歸。

瓦拉基斯一五七世統治吉斯洋基人的時間已超過千年，她的家，

低語城堡（the Castle Susurrus）位於吉斯洋基人的首都，

蘇那拉斯（Tu'narath），其為一座建立在消逝神力之神島的城市，

到目前為止，人們對這具神屍的所知僅限於其漂浮於銀色虛空而已

（The One in the Void）

巫妖女皇的擎愛

在一篇發行在地下城１００期，名為”巫妖女皇的擎愛”的冒險中，

她以直接性的敵人角色登場，可以被冒險者擊敗並殺死。

這場冒險的情節亦透露是她抽乾了這位逝去神靈的力量，

（現在神屍已重組為石）成為蘇那拉斯城的基石。

蘇那拉斯，在憑藉著殺死等級超過十六級以上的吉斯洋基角色這樣的統治法則下，

這座城市得以發展壯大。

這方式也給了她足夠的經驗值得以施展數以千計的祁願法術，

也給了她獲取已逝神力，朝封神之路前進的動力。

這場冒險發生的時點正於瓦拉基斯準備封神，並描述了若是玩家讓他成功後的結果。

原文如下
In the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game,

 Vlaakith (pronounced [vlakiθ]) i

s the name of the first ruler of the githyanki race after the death of Gith,

the rebel leader that united them against the illithids.

 Vlaakith CLVII, also known as the Lich Queen,

is a fictional character and adversary in the game.

[edit] History

Vlaakith I was an advisor to Gith and helped seal the pact between

red dragons and the githyanki.

All subsequent queens of the githyanki have been named after her.

 The last queen of the githyanki, Vlaakith CLVII,

died after ascending the throne without giving birth to an heir,

but returned as a lich, a type of undead.

 Vlaakith has ruled the githyanki for over a thousand years.

Her home, the Castle Susurrus, is in the githyanki capital city,

Tu'narath, which is built on the god-isle of a deceased power

known only as "The One in the Void"[citation needed].

[edit] The Lich-Queen's Beloved

In an adventure entitled "The Lich-Queen's Beloved" in Dungeon issue 100,

 she was presented as a direct adversary who could be defeated and

slain by adventurers.

The adventure also revealed that she had been siphoning off the power

of a dead god (now resembling rock) on which Tu'narath was built,

 which she accomplished, rules-wise, by killing Githyanki that had

risen above character level 16.

This in turn gave her enough experience points to cast thousands of

 wish spells and come a fraction closer to

getting the dead god's power and becoming a deity.

 The adventure takes place just as Vlaakith is about to ascend to godhood,

 and describes the consequences if the players allow her to succeed

→ Arcanum:3.rules-wise應該不是英明統治，而是「就規則而言」
→ Arcanum:(上面第二行是接在第三行後)
推 P2:為什麼DND的神死掉後，屍體往往會跑到Astral Plane，並膨脹為島
→ Arcanum:這設定應是基於Astral plane是所謂的mental realm,
→ Arcanum:而神是思緒、概念與信仰的存在。
→ johnkry:真的是157世...冏...我一直以為只有七世...
