冰晶凤凰 the Cryophoenix
台词
“我是暴雪之怒,寒风之噬,极冰之寒。我就是弗雷尔卓德。”
''I am the fury of the blizzard, the bite of the wind, and the cold of the ice. I am the Freljord.''
传记
艾尼维亚是一个充满仁慈的飞禽形态灵体,曾经历过无数次诞生、死亡与重生的轮回,始终眷顾着弗雷尔卓德。她是生于凛冽冰风中的半神,可以操控冰雪的元素之力,阻挡那些胆敢侵犯她家园的人。艾尼维亚指引并保护着北方贫瘠土地上的人类部落,而这些人类也将她奉为希望的象征和重大变革的预兆。她的每一次奋战都不遗余力,因为她知道,自己的记忆将会超越牺牲,长久地留存,而她也将在崭新的明天中重生。
Anivia is a benevolent winged spirit who endures endless cycles of life, death, and rebirth to protect the Freljord. A demi-god born of unforgiving ice and bitter winds, she wields those elemental powers to thwart any who dare disturb her homeland. Anivia guides and protects the tribes of the harsh north, who revere her as a symbol of hope, and a portent of great change. She fights with every ounce of her being, knowing that through her sacrifice, her memory will endure, and she will be reborn into a new tomorrow.
艾尼维亚是来自弗雷尔卓德的古代半神,代表生、死与复生的永恒轮回,如同喻示着季节的更迭一般。对于那些崇敬她的人,她是弗雷尔卓德的永恒灵魂——象征着希望,也催驱着变革。
Anivia is an ancient Freljordian demi-god who represents the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth, intrinsically associated with the changing seasons. To those who venerate her, she is the elemental soul of the Freljord—a symbol of hope, and a sacred catalyst of change.
历经无数年岁传唱未衰的故事里,讲述了她如何奖励那些善良和谦逊的人。根据极少数见过——或者至少是自称见过她的人的描述,她是一只高贵的冰霜灵鸟,晶莹的双翼荡阔苍天,凛锐的鸣啼刺破龙卷。
Stories passed down through the ages often tell of how she rewards those who are kind and humble. On the rare occasion a mortal glimpses her—or at least claims to—she is described as a noble spirit-bird of ice, with glittering wings that span the heavens, and a piercing cry that can be heard over even the fiercest storm.
在名为诺台的游牧氏族中,流传着艾尼维亚为世间带来第一场雪的歌谣。当她从巨大的冰霜之卵中破壳而出,冰壳的碎屑被掀上云霄,其后化作不绝的飞雪从天而降。而根据殇鸦部族的传说,席卷弗雷尔卓德大地的罡风,就是她初次拍打双翼所卷起的冽息。
The songs of the nomadic Notai tribe tell how Anivia’s birth first brought snow into the world. When she burst from her giant egg of ice, tiny pieces of it were hurled into the sky, and it has fallen as snow ever since. And, according to the sagas of the Mourncrow tribe, the frigid winds that scour the Freljord originate from the first beats of her wings.
艾尼维亚确实能够指使凛冬的全部力量。任何妄图亵渎她故土的人,都将饱尝残酷的反击。一旦她被激怒,无论是铜墙铁壁还是崇山峻岭都会在她的冲击下化作纸帛,即使是再坚韧的钢铁都会在她召唤的暴风雪中崩裂脆断。
Indeed, the full power of winter is Anivia’s to command, and to those who seek to desecrate her homeland, she is a bitter foe. When roused to anger, she can cleave fortresses and mountains, and her screech can summon blizzards cold enough to shatter steel.
在众多流传已久且被人深信不疑的故事中,有一个最受崇敬的说法,认为艾尼维亚带给弗雷尔卓德最伟大的礼物,是她创造了臻冰。这是一种纯粹且沉蕴的物质,被注入了元素魔法,永不消融。那些最伟大的先知和冰霜法师们自古就对它不倦求索,利用臻冰的碎片使他们的力量倍增。而哪怕是一丝一毫的臻冰,如果能铸炼于武器之上,就能变成超乎想象的夺命神兵。
One of the most enduring and respected beliefs is that Anivia’s greatest gift to the Freljord was the creation of True Ice. Infused with elemental magic, this unmelting substance is pure and potent, and the greatest seers and ice-mages have long strived to use shards of True Ice to amplify their might, while weapons that have even a tiny sliver forged into them are deadly beyond belief.
凡人首次出现在弗雷尔卓德时,艾尼维亚便接纳了他们。她看到他们无法抵御寒冷,就引他们来到避风的深谷,扎根定居,在磨练中适应这里的元素之力。她精心哺育,帮助凡人度过了最为凶险的最初几百年——而凡人则为此而膜拜、崇敬她。
When mortals first arrived in the Freljord, Anivia welcomed them. Seeing that they could not withstand the cold, she guided them to secluded valleys where they could shelter, become established, and slowly harden themselves against the elements. She nurtured and watched over them for those first precarious centuries—and they, in turn, worshipped her.
艾尼维亚希望,这些新出现的部族能够一直联合下去,共同保卫弗雷尔卓德免遭外界入侵……然而渐渐地,内斗和仇恨开始孳生,入侵已是迟早的问题。据传说讲述,一名贪婪的南方国王带着军队跨过崇山,企图占据这片土地,并将这里的狂野魔法禁锢起来凭他驱使。这群异邦人的傲慢与不敬令艾尼维亚勃然大怒。为了笞挞他们,她降下冰雪暴,持续了百年零一日。如今在浣石平原上散落孑立的岩块依然随处可见,据当地人说,这些是那支古代军队唯一残留下来的痕迹。
Anivia hoped that these newly arrived tribes would remain unified in defending the Freljord from outsiders… but slowly, infighting and blood-feuds became all too common, making an invasion inevitable. According to legend, a greedy southern king marched his warriors up through the mountains, seeking to claim dominion over the northlands and shackle their wild magic for himself. So enraged was Anivia at the outsiders’ hubris and disrespect that she blasted them with a snowstorm that lasted a century and a day. Scattered standing stones can still be seen on the Scouring Plain, which the locals claim are all that remain of that ancient army.
还有许多其他传说,比如阿瓦罗萨部族关于乌拉·裂枪的传奇故事。她是一名冰裔战母,因为从霜齿狼口中救下了一只幼小的隼鹰而受到了艾尼维亚的眷顾。乌拉其后一生始终受到冰晶凤凰的护佑,而当她看遍了一百季寒冬,最后在战斗中倒下之时,据说艾尼维亚张开双翼迎接了她。
Other tales include the Avarosan legend of Ulla Shatter-Spear, an Iceborn warmother who was favored by Anivia for saving a young hawk from a rimefang wolf. Across her lifetime, the Cryophoenix protected Ulla from harm, and when she finally fell in battle, having witnessed almost a hundred winters, it is said that Anivia welcomed her with wings spread wide.
如果这些传奇故事都是真的,那么艾尼维亚一定已经见证了无数个凡人文明的起落。虽然那些古老的时代依然留下了些许残迹,但大多数都已被彻底遗忘,封存于千年的寒冰之下。
If all these legends are true, then Anivia must have witnessed the rise and fall of countless mortal civilizations. While there are still some dwindling remnants of those earlier times, most have long been forgotten, and buried beneath millennia of ice.
不过,死亡无法触及艾尼维亚本尊。传说她在历史上多次被击倒并弑杀,但她总是能重生——因为只要弗雷尔卓德还存在,她的灵魂就是不朽的。虽然她的苏生崛起需要等待成百甚至上千年,但每次复活都与新纪元的到来不谋而合。因此,她的出现虽然被认为是奇迹与赐福,但却时常预示着某种可怕的事物即将来临。
But death cannot touch Anivia herself. The sagas speak of how she has been struck down and slain a handful of times throughout history, though she is always reborn—for as long as the Freljord exists, her soul is immortal. While it may be hundreds or even thousands of years before she rises again, each rebirth coincides with the dawning of a new era. Thus, her appearance, while regarded as a wondrous blessing, is often the harbinger of something terrible on the horizon.
据说,她曾为了阻拦一群身形高耸的祸麟而牺牲了自己。艾尼维亚知道她无法杀死这种巨大的生物,于是便撞向它们脚下的冰面,自己粉身碎骨的同时,也埋葬了它们。
Once, it is said, she sacrificed herself against a march of towering Balestriders. Anvia knew she could not slay these colossal creatures, and so she plunged into the ice beneath their feet, shattering her own body in order to entomb them.
最近,有人声称艾尼维亚已经再一次从卵中孵化,还说她出现在了阿瓦罗萨部族新任领袖——战母艾希的面前。或许,艾尼维亚终于在她身上看到了弗雷尔卓德再次统一的希望。
Recently, some claim Anivia has hatched from the egg once more, and that she has appeared before the new leader of the Avarosans—the Warmother Ashe. In her, perhaps Anivia sees one who may be able to finally reunite the Freljord.
越来越多的萨满和兽灵行者都在奔走相告,冰晶凤凰已经重返大地。但如果真是这样,那就有一个不可回避的问题:艾尼维亚的重生,意味着何等巨大的威胁呢?
Yet if the Cryophoenix has indeed returned, as more and more shamans and spirit walkers proclaim, then it must be asked: what great threat has she come to face?
