第二十章 Rasha的崛起(The Coming of Rasha)
紀元 22,745 - 22,870 AE年
--------------------------------------
As Aestaria’s dependence on imported crystals far outstripped even the
onerous tribute taxes imposed on the vassal continents, it began to
accumulate massive debts. The mercantile class became increasingly powerful.
With few opportunities in the moribund Aestari economy, military service
gained in popularity among the increasingly disaffected Aestari youth — and
it gained in prestige, as well.
儘管艾斯塔利亞將徵收晶礦的義務強加海外殖民地，但這樣的依賴關係仍帶來巨大負債，
而商人階級的實力也逐漸強大。在景氣低迷下，不滿現狀的年輕人之間盛行從軍，軍方的
聲望也隨之升高。
This shift in the socio-economic paradigm gave birth to an elite warrior
class, called the Fists of Akrane in honor of the legendary Swords of Akrane
from the Age of Wonder. By the time an ambitious young soldier named Rasha
became the Lord Marshall of the Realm, the mercantile and warrior classes
represented the true power in Aestaria — reducing Emperor Sargos to little
more than a figurehead.
這種社經環境的轉變下，一個代表菁鋭戰士的階級開始抬頭，他們的名字是「阿克朗之拳
」，取自煇煌世代的傳奇組織-阿克朗之劍。隨著時間過去，一位叫作Rasha的年輕軍人滿
腹野心，成為了馬歇爾封地的領主。這個地方的商業與軍事階級掌握了艾斯塔利亞的真正
實力，而皇帝Sargos的權力則逐漸被架空。
Rasha had enlisted as a commoner orphan with no royal blood and had quickly
risen up through the ranks to Field Marshal during the Shadowlands campaign.
He transformed the Fists of Akrane into the dominant military power in
Aestaria. Led by Rasha, they pushed their own agenda and won the hearts of
the common people, who saw Emperor Sargos as ineffectual and the Great
Aestari Council as an inefficient bureaucracy run by privileged elites in
lofty white towers.
Rasha以一介平民孤兒的身份入伍，雖然沒有貴族血統，但他在陰影之地的戰役中履建軍
功，也使他在馬歇爾的地位能節節高升。他將阿克朗之拳打造成艾斯塔利亞中最強大的軍
隊。在Rasha的領導下，他們的勢力逐漸延伸，平民們因為皇帝Sargos的無能以及議會低
效率的官僚體系被權貴把持，轉而支持Rasha的勢力。
As part of the Inner Council, Lord Marshall Rasha supported the Emperor’s
view that construction of the Monolith should continue to completion. Rasha
agreed it was critical that Aestaria not be dependent on external resources
in the future. However, he also thought Aestaria was weakened by its reliance
on foreign trade and the mercantile class.
身為內閣的一員，馬歇爾的領主Rasha支持皇帝的看法，認為巨石柱的建造應該繼續完成-
艾斯塔利亞未來不應繼續仰賴國外進口的資源。不過，他也認為艾斯塔利亞因為過度依賴
國外貿易和商人階級而早已衰弱不堪。
He believed a simpler strategy to meet Aestaria’s needs was to take what it
wanted using its unrivaled military. Out of the Fists of Akrane, he developed
the Kurikan, or Swift Wind, a secret sect of elite assassin spies answerable
only to him. Valknu warned Sargos of Rasha’s growing power, but Sargos no
longer trusted the Magmar or their motives and quickly dismissed the warnings
as just another one of their misleading ploys.
他認為要改善艾斯塔利亞的現狀，方法非常單純，只要倚仗他們那無可匹敵的軍隊就好了
。在阿克朗之拳外，他另外建立了「庫立坎」-又稱「迅捷之風」，一支只聽命於他且由
菁鋭暗殺者組成的隱密集團。Valknu眼見Rasha的勢力逐漸坐大，對Sargos提出了警告，
不過此時Sargos已不再信任麥格瑪和他們的行事動機，將這份建言當作他們另一次故意的
誤導。
