凯南 Kennen

狂暴之心 the Heart of the Tempest

台词

“我同时存在于两个领域，在电闪与雷鸣之间，是风暴真正的平衡。”

“I exist across realms, in the space between lightning’s strike and thunder’s call, the true balance within the storm.”

传记

历史悠久的均衡教派中，有一位资历最老的成员——约德尔人凯南是第一任也是唯一一任狂暴之心。几百年里，他使用委婉的交涉和直接的武力，维持着他第二故乡——艾欧尼亚的神圣平衡。凯南拥有闪电的速度和岁月沉淀的智慧，他与暮光之眼——慎一起保护着初生之土的脆弱和谐，用霹雳千鸟和万雷天牢扫除一切障碍。

The longest-standing member of the ancient Kinkou Order, the yordle Kennen is the first and only Heart of the Tempest. For centuries, he has used diplomacy—and force—to maintain the sacred balance in his adopted home of Ionia. Lightning fast and bearing the wisdom of a long and storied life, Kennen works with the Eye of Twilight, Shen, to protect the fragile harmony of the First Lands with a whirling storm of shuriken and devastating electrical energy.

这是光怪陆离的领域，这是变幻莫测的班德尔城，而这种地方并不适合像凯南这样的约德尔人。他为了寻求和谐与平衡，早在数千年前就离开了精神领域，寻找冒险。他带着无尽的好奇心探索物质领域，一下心跳的工夫就能跨越千万里。但他却对艾欧尼亚情有独钟。

A riotous domain of constant transformation, Bandle City was no place for a yordle like Kennen. Searching for harmony and balance, he ventured out from the spirit realm millennia ago. He explored the material realm with boundless curiosity, traveling great distances in a heartbeat. But he was drawn in particular to Ionia.

在这片初生之土，他见证了一场场远古的战争，只是如今早已无人记得；他也见证了这片土地后来千难万苦的重建。让凯南最为着迷的是，这里的人们在不断追寻平衡的自我，以及平衡的家园。时间久了，凯南回到班德尔城的时候越来越少，他选择留在艾欧尼亚，在这里，来自精神领域的约德尔人备受尊敬。虽然他不会像物质领域的生物那样随时间衰老，但凯南却愿意接纳凡人，连续观察研究几代人。令他感到钦佩的是，虽然他们的生命单薄脆弱，但却个个都是勤勉的保卫者，守护着神圣的平衡。

In the First Lands, he witnessed ancient wars that none now remember, and a land struggling to rebuild afterward. Kennen grew fascinated by a people seeking balance for themselves and their home. Over time, he returned to Bandle City less and less, choosing to remain in Ionia, where yordles were respected as creatures of the spirit realm. Though he did not age as beings of the material realm did, Kennen embraced mortals, studying them for generations. He admired how, despite their fragile lives, they were diligent protectors of the sacred balance.

虽然如此，艾欧尼亚的宁静依然在遭遇着威胁。歹毒的灵体走出精神领域，不怀好意地闯入这片土地。凯南曾独自对抗这些侵扰者，享受每一次挑战带来的乐趣，但最后他明白了，他的战斗治标不治本，入侵的根源在于失衡。他发现了一个刚刚诞生的教派，教众积极主动地寻求两个领域之间的平衡——他们会先进行小心的观察，然后决定采取怎样的行动，恢复平衡。

Even so, there were threats to the tranquility of Ionia. Malevolent entities of the spirit realm traversed the land with ill intent. Kennen battled these disturbances alone for years, enjoying the fun each challenge brought, but in the end he understood he was doing little to address why the incursions were happening: imbalance. He discovered a fledgling order whose members actively pursued balance between the realms—who, after careful observation, would judge what needed to be done to restore it.

他们自称为“均衡”

They called themselves the Kinkou.

凯南兴致盎然地注视着这个教派，他们的领袖分别是傲然冷漠的“暮光之眼”和锱铢必较的“暗影之拳”。他意识到，均衡的领袖还需要另一个层面。需要一个求同存异的人，需要防止战意旺盛的“拳”压制冷静自省的“眼”，同样也需要防止“眼”的观察阻挠“拳”的行动。

Kennen was intrigued by the order, led by a distant Eye of Twilight and a vindictive Fist of Shadow. He realized that the Kinkou’s leadership required another aspect. A consensus builder, one who would prevent the warlike Fist from domineering over the introspective Eye, and likewise keep the Eye’s tireless observation from paralyzing the Fist.

作为同时存在于精神与物质两个领域中的生物，凯南主动请缨，他独有的优势非常适合作为仲裁者。教派接受了凯南的智慧，他成为了均衡的首任“狂暴之心”。他与“暮光之眼”、“暗影之拳”共同组成了新的首领三人组，凯南的职责是做出判断，决定如何行动才能最好地维护平衡，他用亲切随和与婉转交涉保持了均衡教派的和谐。

As a creature of both the spirit and material realms, Kennen proposed that he was uniquely suited to be an arbiter. The order accepted Kennen’s wisdom, and he became the Kinkou’s first Heart of the Tempest. As part of the new triumvirate with the Eye of Twilight and the Fist of Shadow, Kennen passed judgment on how best to preserve balance, and his affability and diplomacy kept the Kinkou in harmony.

此外，凯南还发现教派和周围的民众之间开始产生沟壑，因为教派的决定往往是立刻执行、秘密完成，没有复议的机会。这名约德尔人再次意识到，自己可以为均衡填补一个空白。以他的急速与同情心，可以作为理想的沟通者，与那些受到教派行动影响的人们充分交流。他已经看到均衡教派如何脱离了人民，如何戴上了面具，因此十分注意自己的真挚与诚恳，与那些他要保护的人们紧密相连。

Moreover, Kennen noticed that a rift had grown between the order and the people around them, as judgments were carried out swiftly, mysteriously, and without chance for appeal. Again, the yordle realized he could fill a need for the Kinkou. With his fantastic speed and compassion, he was the ideal representative to communicate the judgments of the order to those affected by them. He’d seen how the Kinkou distanced themselves from the people, wearing masks over their faces, and took care to remove his to connect with those he sought to protect.

然而凯南还有另一面，作为“狂暴之心”的严肃一面。他的职责是逐日，均衡做出的判断，无论遭遇何种挑战都由他来处理，这些挑战可不总是动嘴就能解决的。

Yet there was another side to Kennen, a far more serious aspect as Heart of the Tempest. Charged with Coursing the Sun, he addressed challenges to the Kinkou’s judgments, and not always with words.

有的时候，达到平衡的代价是破坏者的鲜血——而凯南的手里剑以及他召唤的风暴足以平息任何不服从的声音。

For sometimes, the cost of balance was the blood of the offender—and Kennen’s shuriken and summoned maelstroms were quite capable of silencing all dissent.

几百年来，均衡遭遇过许多威胁，但没有哪次能赶得上诺克萨斯的入侵及其过后产生的余波。当诺克萨斯进犯初生之土时，凯南反对教派加入抵抗力量，但那场战争几乎将均衡教派撕裂。曾经的弟子——劫领导了一场兵变，在随后的至暗时刻，新任暮光之眼——慎一筹莫展，全靠凯南引领教派渡过难关。他还敦促时任暗影之拳——梅目关注自己的女儿——自小接受凯南训练的阿卡丽，并将她视为继任者。

There have been many threats to the Kinkou over the centuries, but none as grave as the Noxian invasion and its aftermath. When Noxus invaded the First Lands, Kennen opposed joining the resistance, even as the war threatened to tear the Kinkou apart. In their darkest hour, after a coup led by a former acolyte named Zed, the yordle guided the order while the new Eye of Twilight, Shen, struggled to lead. Kennen urged the Fist of Shadow, Mayym, to look to her daughter Akali, whom he’d trained since childhood, and see her as a successor.

但即使是他，也无法劝阻阿卡丽最后的离开，因为均衡教派没能对艾欧尼亚的敌人采取行动，让她心灰意冷。

But even he couldn’t find the words to stop Akali from eventually leaving the Kinkou, frustrated at the order’s failure to act against Ionia’s enemies.

最近发生的事是对凯南的考验。这个纷扰和暴力的新世代已经让艾欧尼亚陷入混乱。无论即将到来的是什么，他都会保护这个已经出现裂痕的均衡教派，与慎并肩作战，维护初生之土的平衡。千万不要被凯南矮小的外形所迷惑——风暴的中心是最平静的地方，当它对你怒目而视的时候，狂暴的力量就已经不远了。

Recent events have tested Kennen, a new age of disruption and violence that has thrown Ionia into chaos. Come what may, he will protect the fractured Kinkou Order, fighting alongside Shen to defend the balance of the First Lands. Do not let Kennen’s diminutive appearance fool you—for the heart of the tempest is its calmest part, but when it turns its eye upon you, its force is never more than a moment behind.
