传记

作为阿瓦罗萨部族的战母，寒冰血脉的艾希率领着北方人数最多的部落。她克己、智慧、忠于理想，但并不适应自己作为领袖的角色，艾希与自己血脉中蕴藏的先祖魔法相通，挽起了臻冰打造的长弓。她的族人相信她就是神话中的女英雄阿瓦罗萨的转世，在人们的追随下，艾希希望夺回那些属于部族的古代领土，从而让弗雷尔卓德再次实现统一。

Iceborn warmother of the Avarosan tribe, Ashe commands the most populous horde in the north. Stoic, intelligent, and idealistic, yet uncomfortable with her role as leader, she taps into the ancestral magics of her lineage to wield a bow of True Ice. With her people’s belief that she is the mythological hero Avarosa reincarnated, Ashe hopes to unify the Freljord once more by retaking their ancient, tribal lands.

艾希来自北方弗雷尔卓德，在这里，部落间的劫掠和氏族间的战争如同呼号的寒风和不化的坚冰一样，都是这片土地的一部分。

Ashe hails from the northern Freljord, where brutal tribal raids and inter-clan warfare are as much a part of the landscape as the scream of the frozen winds, and the unyielding cold of the tundra.

小部落阿瓦罗萨的女族长葛伦娜只育有艾希一个女儿，她是一名冰裔，注定要成为战士，天生就被赋予与这片土地的远古魔法连接，而且还拥有罕见的使用臻冰的力量。每个人都认为艾希将会继承她的母亲，成为部落的下一任领袖。然而，艾希从未渴求过那种光荣。战争血脉的冷酷责任以及杰出非凡的天赋反而让艾希觉得自己感到隔绝、负担、孤独。

The only child of Grena, the matriarchal chieftain of the tiny Avarosan tribe, Ashe was Iceborn: a member of the warrior caste, gifted with an ancestral connection to the magic of her lands, and the rare ability to wield the power of True Ice. Everyone assumed that Ashe would follow her mother as the tribe's next leader. However, this was never a glory Ashe desired. The grim responsibility of her warlike lineage and extraordinary gifts instead left Ashe feeling isolated, burdened, and alone.

她唯一的慰藉是瑟庄妮，这名来自姊妹部落的冰裔小姑娘每年都会随部落一起来渡过夏天，在奥恩卡尔岩地周围捕猎。两个小姑娘之间的友谊是她们童年回忆的全部，但却在她们十岁以后戛然而止。葛伦娜不知怎么就触怒了瑟庄妮的祖母，她们部落之间的友好突然就结束了。

Her only respite was when Sejuani, an Iceborn girl from a sister tribe, would stay with them for the summer hunts around the Ornnkaal Rocks. The girls' friendship defined their childhoods, but was cut short just as they reached their teens. Somehow, Grena had offended Sejuani's grandmother, and the fellowship between their tribes ended suddenly.

不久后，艾希的母亲知道自己青春将逝，便开始向着“阿瓦罗萨的王座”进行毕生的追寻，那应该是一大堆财宝和魔法物品，她希望可以借此让她的人民重新振兴。

Soon after, with her youth fading, Ashe's mother began her lifelong quest for the “Throne of Avarosa”, a supposed hoard of treasures and magical items that she hoped would return her people to greatness.

但葛伦娜对预言和传奇的笃信让她铤而走险，以至于经常让部落萧条潦倒。最终，在一次危险且不必要的对其他部落领土的劫掠行动中，葛伦娜被杀了。她突然的死让年轻的艾希落荒而逃，而她大部分族人都被赶尽杀绝。

But Grena’s belief in prophecies and legends led her to take risks, which often left her tribe enfeebled. Finally, during a dangerous and unnecessary raid in another tribe's lands, Grena was killed. Her sudden death left young Ashe on the run, while most of her tribe was wiped out.

形单影只、追兵在后的艾希按照她母亲最后留下的地图来到了一片荒无人烟的冰川，在那里她应该是找到了阿瓦罗萨的坟墓，也找到了她的臻冰魔法弓。艾希用那把武器为母亲完成了复仇，然后开始向西走。

Alone, pursued, Ashe followed her mother's last map to a deserted glacier where she found the supposed grave of Avarosa, and her magical bow of True Ice. Ashe used the weapon to avenge her mother's death, then turned west.

不知是出于责任还是因为孤独，艾希一路上保护了许多散落各地的炉户部落并因此声名远扬。她摒弃了传统的方式，没有把那些人当做奴隶，而是选择将那些走投无路的人接纳为自己新部落的正式族人。很快，许多人都开始相信她不仅是拿着阿瓦罗萨的武器——而且她就是阿瓦罗萨本尊转世重生，注定要让弗雷尔卓德再次统一。

Whether it was out of duty or loneliness, Ashe gained a reputation by protecting the many scattered hearthbound tribes she encountered. She spurned the custom of taking thralls, and instead chose to adopt these desperate people as full members of her new tribe, and her fame grew quickly. Soon many began to believe that she did not just carry the weapon of Avarosa—Ashe was the legend herself, reborn and destined to reunite the Freljord.

但是奇谈佳话可不能喂饱她追随者的肚子，在他们漫长的南下过程中，部落即将面临饥荒。于是艾希利用了关于自己的传说，与强大富饶的南方部落缔结盟约，承诺要将他们统一成为一个强大的国家，强大到足以向邻国发起挑战。

But tall tales would not feed her followers, and their long march south left the tribe on the verge of starvation. So, Ashe leveraged the myths surrounding her, using them to form alliances with the powerful and land-rich southern tribes, promising to unite them into a nation capable of challenging neighboring kingdoms.

新的盟约也带来了新的危险，艾希很快就发现自己处于政治斗争的中心。战母，也就是弗雷尔卓德部落的首领，理应谈婚论嫁，但无论从哪个大部落里选丈夫，都会激怒其他部落。艾希可以选择多名丈夫，但这样只会把沸腾的冲突带入自己帐下，接踵而至的血战只会让她辛苦缔造的联盟土崩瓦解。

These new alliances brought new dangers, and Ashe quickly found herself at the center of a political feud. A Warmother, as Freljordian tribal leaders are known, was expected to wed, and taking a husband from one of the major tribes would anger the others. Ashe could take several husbands, but this would only bring the conflict to a boil within her own household, and the ensuing bloodshed would shatter the alliances she had fought to build.

她的答案是一名流浪汉——战士泰达米尔。他一无所有，他的山岭氏族也几乎被赶尽杀绝。他既不是兽灵行者，也没有元素之力的禀赋，但自打他来到艾希的新都的第一天，泰达米尔就杀进了每一座他能找到的决斗场。他战斗的方式不顾一切，绝望地想要证明自己氏族的幸存者即便一贫如洗也值得被最强的部落接纳。但即便以弗雷尔卓德的标准，他的野蛮战法和非凡体力也足以让人感到不安，许多人都怀疑他被黑魔法侵染。艾希没有在意这些，她提出接纳他的族人，但前提是他成为她第一、也是唯一的血盟。

Her answer was an impoverished vagabond from a mountain clan that had been nearly wiped out—the warrior Tryndamere. He was neither a spirit-walker nor blessed with any elemental powers, but upon his arrival in Ashe’s new capital, Tryndamere had thrown himself into every dueling ring he could find. He fought with abandon, desperate to prove the destitute survivors of his clan were worthy of adoption by one of the stronger tribes. But even for the Freljord, his brutal fighting style and extraordinary vitality were unsettling, and many suspected he was touched by dark magic. Ignoring this, Ashe offered to adopt his people as her own, if he became her first and only bloodsworn.

泰达米尔不情愿地接受了。虽然这是一场政治婚姻，但他们可以明显感到彼此的吸引，于是二人之间渐渐萌生了真正的爱慕。

Tryndamere accepted reluctantly. Though a political marriage, the attraction they felt for each other was palpable, and slowly a true affection blossomed.

如今，艾希率领着弗雷尔卓德几个世代以来最大的部落联合。即便如此，这来之不易的统一和和平正在遭到诸多威胁：内部阴谋、外族势力、凛冬之爪的暴力崛起、还有一个她自己至少需要假装坚信的命运……

Now, Ashe stands at the head of the largest coalition of Freljordian tribes in many generations. Even so, the unity she would bring rests upon an uneasy peace threatened by internal intrigues, foreign powers, the growing violent horde of the Winter's Claw, and a supposed destiny that Ashe must at least pretend to believe…
