“我说完了。”
“I have said enough.”
传记
奥恩是弗雷尔卓德的一位半神,主掌着锻造和工艺。他在名为炉乡的火山下的溶洞中凿出了一座雄伟的工坊,独自一人在里头干活。他摆弄着熔岩沸腾的坩埚,提炼矿石,打造出无与伦比的精良物件。当其他神灵——尤其是沃利贝尔,在大地上行走并且介入了凡间的事务时,奥恩就会出面,将这些鲁莽的家伙劝回各自的位置上。要么是用手里可靠的锤子,要么就是群山的烈火。
Ornn is the Freljordian demi-god of forging and craftsmanship. He works in the solitude of a massive smithy, hammered out from the lava caverns beneath the volcano Hearth-Home. There he stokes bubbling cauldrons of molten rock to purify ores and fashion items of unsurpassed quality. When other deities—especially Volibear—walk the earth and meddle in mortal affairs, Ornn arises to put these impetuous beings back in their place, either with his trusty hammer or the fiery power of the mountains themselves.
在将来被称为弗雷尔卓德的土地上,奥恩的名字曾经无人不晓。人们普遍相信,奥恩是旧时半神中第一位降生的。他塑造了大地,也带来了初雪。
Ornn’s name was once spoken throughout the lands that would one day become known as the Freljord. It was widely held that he was the firstborn of the old demi-gods, who had shaped the land itself, and brought forth the first snows.
相比其他半神,奥恩更喜欢隐逸世外。他习惯独来独往,心无旁骛。在一座沉眠的火山上,披挂着远古时期的爆发所留下的累累疤痕,奥恩就在山底下随心所欲地锻造打磨,日夜不分。结果就是创造出了相当数量的无价之宝,从诞生之初就被赋予了传奇的命运。有些非常幸运的家伙碰巧偶遇了这些神器,都会被它们极高的品质震慑。有些人说,布隆的大盾就是奥恩几千年前的作品,因为这扇巨盾永远光亮如新,仿佛昨天才刚刚出炉一般。
More than any other of his kind, Ornn was said to value privacy, solitude, and focus. Beneath a dormant volcano that bore scars from some ancient eruption, he labored day and night, forging whatever his heart desired. The results were priceless tools destined for feats of legend—the lucky few who have stumbled upon these relics note their bewilderingly high quality. Some even claim that Braum’s shield was made by Ornn thousands of years ago, and remains as sturdy as the day it was finished.
不过没人敢拍胸脯保证,因为没人能找到这位神仙,亲口问问他。几乎所有有关他的传说都在历史中湮灭了,有的是因为他的敌人,而有的则单纯是因为漫漫的时间。
No one can be sure, however, for none can find the forge-god to ask him. Almost all the tales of Ornn’s deeds and accomplishments have been excised from history by his enemies, and the slow march of time.
如今,只有极少的一些断章仍在一小撮部落中流传。这些部落可以一直上溯到一种独属于铁匠、工匠和酿酒大师的文化,然而也早已失落。这群绝迹了的先民被称作炉家人。慕奥恩之名,他们从世界各地跋涉而至,在炉乡山下定居,一心希望能掌握奥恩那般精湛的技艺。
The few that remain are remembered by the handful of tribes who can trace their lineage back to a single culture of blacksmiths, architects, and brewmasters. This long-lost populace was known as the Hearthblood, apprentices who journeyed from all corners of Valoran, and gathered on the slopes of Hearth-Home to follow Ornn’s example.
尽管这群人对奥恩崇仰有加,但他们自己从来不觉得自己是炉家人的守护神。当他们呈上各自的作品时,奥恩只会微微点头或者皱一下眉。而炉家人也会欣然接受,并且更加坚定了磨炼自身技艺的决心。因此,他们能够造出最精巧的工具,最坚固的房屋,还酿出了世上最美味的麦芽酒。奥恩对炉家人坚持不懈的努力和不断提高的渴望产生了发自心底的赞许。
Despite this imitative form of worship, Ornn never considered himself their patron. He would only give them curt nods or frowns when they offered up their work, and yet the Hearthblood accepted this and were determined to hone their skills. As a result, they came to create the finest tools, design the sturdiest structures, and brew the tastiest ales the world had ever beheld. They believed Ornn secretly approved of their perseverance, and the fact that they were always looking to better themselves in their craft.
但是,灾难在某天夜晚降临了。出于凡人不知的缘由,奥恩和他的兄弟沃利贝尔在山巅大打出手,也连带着毁掉了炉家人辛苦创造的一切。火焰、灰烬和闪电从天而降,卷起可怕的风暴,哪怕你身在十道地平线之外都能看见。等到尘埃落定,炉乡成了一个冒着烟的火山口,而炉家人全都粉身碎骨,血肉骨髓混在余烬里慢慢沉寂。
But, in one catastrophic night, all the Hearthblood had accomplished was destroyed when Ornn battled with his brother Volibear at the mountain’s peak, for reasons no mortal could comprehend. The resultant cataclysm was a storm of fire and ash and lightning so intensely violent that it was seen ten horizons away.
虽然奥恩口头上永远不会承认,但他完全垮了。他在炉家人身上曾经瞥见了凡间生命喷薄的潜能,但这些生命却在不朽者一视同仁的暴怒之下眨眼间彻底毁灭。巨大的内疚感让他五内俱焚,他孤单地回到了工坊里,闭关埋头苦修,从此不见世事。
When the dust settled, Hearth-Home was a smoldering caldera, and the Hearthblood were reduced to scattered bones and cinders.
但是现在,他感觉到外面的世界已经一脚踏入了新的时代。有一些他的兄弟姐妹再次化成了实体,他们的追随者们也变得越来越狂热冲动。弗雷尔卓德四分五裂,群龙无首,远古的恐怖正潜伏在阴影中,窥伺着大举入侵的机会。空前的动乱即将到来。
Though he would never admit it, Ornn was devastated. Through the Hearthblood he had glimpsed the sweeping potential of mortal life, only to see it all lost beneath the indiscriminate wrath of his immortal struggle. Wracked with guilt, he retreated to the isolation of his foundry, and buried himself in his work for an age.
无论是未雨绸缪,还是战后的重建,奥恩知道弗雷尔卓德——还有整个符文之地,都急需一位手艺超凡的好铁匠。
Now, perhaps he senses that the world is on the cusp of a new era. Some of his siblings appear to have taken physical form once more, their cults of followers growing restless and aggressive. The Freljord itself is fractured and leaderless, and ancient horrors are lurking in the shadows, waiting for any opportunity to strike…
In the wars to come, and in their aftermath, Ornn knows that the Freljord—and the rest of Runeterra—will have need of a good blacksmith.
