传记

悉达·凯隐是暗影魔法的天纵之才，他战斗的意义，是为了实现自己真正的命运——为了有朝一日能够率领影流教派，开创艾欧尼亚霸业的新世代。凯隐挥舞着活体暗裔武器拉亚斯特，毫不在意它给自己身体和思想带来的腐化。这样后果只可能有两种：要么凯隐驯服这把武器屈从自己的意志；要么，这恶毒的刀刃将他彻底吞噬，为符文之地的毁灭铺平道路。

A peerless practitioner of lethal shadow magic, Shieda Kayn battles to achieve his true destiny—to one day lead the Order of Shadow into a new era of Ionian supremacy. He wields the sentient darkin weapon Rhaast, undeterred by its creeping corruption of his body and mind. There are only two possible outcomes: either Kayn bends the weapon to his will... or the malevolent blade consumes him completely, paving the way for the destruction of all Runeterra.

悉达·凯隐生在诺克萨斯，幼年时便被征召入伍，编成了童兵。带领这支残酷部队的是勃朗·达克威尔治下最阴险的军官。在纳沃利的普雷西典惨败之后，这场侵略演变成了持久的消耗战。艾欧尼亚人的怜悯成了可被利用得弱点——他们的战士会在看似无辜的人面前犹豫不决。所以勉强扛得动刀剑的凯隐参战的第一天就基本相当于他的死期。

Noxian by birth, Shieda Kayn and others like him were conscripted as child soldiers, a cruel practice employed by only the most devious commanders in Boram Darkwill’s empire. Following the disastrous battle at the Placidium of Navori, the invasion was deliberately reformulated into a protracted war of attrition. Ionian compassion was a weakness to be exploited—their warriors would hesitate before striking down a supposed innocent. Thus, barely able to lift the blade he had been given, Kayn’s first day in battle was also expected to be his last.

为了突袭巴鲁鄂省，诺克萨斯的部队选择在衣浦河口登陆。凯隐和其他孩子被勉强编作先头部队，面对的是为了抵抗去而复返的侵略者而混乱组织起来的地方武装。他年少的战友要么战死，要么当了逃兵，但凯隐却毫无惧色。他甩下重剑，抄起了一把镰刀，直面着震惊的艾欧尼亚人。这时，诺克萨斯的正规部队从侧翼包抄了过来。

Striking against the province of Bahrl, Noxian forces landed at the mouth of the Epool River. Kayn and the others were a reluctant vanguard, facing disorganized bands of locals defending their home from these returning invaders. While his young comrades were cut down or fled the battlefield, Kayn showed no fear. He dropped his heavy sword and snatched up a fallen sickle, turning to face the shocked Ionians just as the Noxian regulars swept in from the flank.

接下来是一场让人不忍目睹的屠杀。农夫、猎人——甚至还有一些瓦斯塔亚人——全都被干脆利落地斩杀殆尽。

The carnage was staggering. Farmers, hunters—even a handful of vastaya—all were butchered without ceremony.

两天后，战事传遍了南部诸省，影流教派循风而来。影流之主劫知道这个地区毫无战略价值。这场屠杀只是一个声明：诺克萨斯绝不留情。

Two days later, after word had spread throughout the southern provinces, the Order of Shadow came upon the grisly scene. Their leader, Zed, knew this area had no tactical significance. This massacre was intended as a message. Noxus would show no mercy.

一道金属的闪光吸引了他的注意。一个顶多十岁的男孩躺在污泥里，对着刺客大师平举起一把残破的镰刀，血迹斑驳的指关节因用力而发白。男孩眼里蕴含着与他年龄极不相符的痛苦，却又燃烧着一个刚强的战士才有的怒火。这种顽强可不是教得会的。劫看着男孩。这个诺克萨斯的弃儿有资格成为一把武器，反过来对付送他走上死路的敌人。劫伸出手，欢迎凯隐加入了影流。

A flickering glint of steel caught his eye. A child of no more than ten lay in the mud, leveling his broken sickle at the master assassin, bloody knuckles straining white. The boy’s eyes harbored a pain that belied his age, yet still burned with all the fury of a hardened warrior. This tenacity was not something that could be taught. Zed saw in this child, this abandoned Noxian survivor, a weapon that could be turned against those who had sent him here to die. The assassin held out his hand and welcomed Kayn into the Order of Shadow.

影流的信徒们往往要花上多年时间操练自己选中的一件武器，但无论什么兵器凯隐全都能熟练地掌握——对他来说，这些东西都只是工具，而他本身就是武器。他觉得盔甲只是笨重的负担，所以他将自己包裹在黑影里，出其不意，迅雷不及掩耳地刺杀敌人。那些侥幸逃脱的人，四处传说着防不胜防的刺杀，恐惧也随之蔓延。

Acolytes traditionally spent years training with a single weapon of their choosing, but Kayn mastered them all—to him, they were mere tools, and he was the weapon. Armor he viewed as a cumbersome burden, instead cloaking himself in shadows and slaying his enemies with quickness and stealth. These swift executions instilled fear in the hearts of those fortunate enough to be spared.

凯隐声名鹊起，他的自负也日增月涨。他真心相信总有一天，他的力量甚至会超越劫。

And as Kayn’s legend grew, so did his arrogance. He truly believed that one day his power would eclipse even that of Zed himself.

这份自负让凯隐迎来了自己的最终考验：寻找一把最近于诺克萨斯出土的暗裔武器，保护疲弱的艾欧尼亚守军不被残害。他毫不犹豫地接受了，完全没有想过为什么要选他去执行这个任务。实际上，换作别人就想要毁掉这把名为拉亚斯特的活体巨镰，但凯隐却据为了己有。

This hubris led Kayn to embrace his final test: to seek out a darkin weapon recently unearthed in Noxus, and prevent it from ever being used against the weary defenders of Ionia. He accepted without hesitation, never questioning why he had been chosen for this task. Indeed, where any other acolyte would have destroyed the living scythe known as Rhaast, Kayn took it for himself.

他的手指一碰到镰刀，腐化就开始将二者束缚在一起，命中注定地缠斗下去。拉亚斯特为了一个完美的宿主等待了许久，只为与暗裔的同族重聚，将世上的生灵一举剿灭，但凯隐不会轻易地被占据。他志得意满地回到了艾欧尼亚，相信劫将会保荐他为影流教派的新领袖。

The corruption took hold the moment his fingers closed around the weapon, locking them both in a fateful struggle. Rhaast has long awaited the perfect host in order to rejoin its darkin brethren and lay waste to the world, but Kayn will not be easily dominated. He returns to Ionia in triumph, convinced that Zed will name him the new leader of the Order of Shadow.
