不灭狂雷 the Relentless Storm

台词

“他们已经忘记了古道。古道没有忘记他们。”

“They have forgotten the old ways. The old ways have not forgotten them.”

传记

对于那些敬畏旧神的人，沃利贝尔是风暴的实体化身。他充满怪力、野性和倔强的坚毅，早在凡人行走于弗雷尔卓德的冻土苔原之前，他就已经存在。这片土地由他和他的半神同胞们共同创造，是他要拼死保护的东西。人类的文明以及随之而来的软弱让他积怨已久，如今他为了旧习古道而战——要让这片土地回归野性，让鲜血畅流无阻。他渴望迎战任何反对者，亮出他的尖牙、利爪和雷霆般的压制力。

To those who still revere him, the Volibear is the storm made manifest. Destructive, wild, and stubbornly resolute, he existed before mortals walked the Freljord’s tundra, and is fiercely protective of the lands that he and his demi-god kin created. Cultivating a deep hatred of civilization and the weakness it brought with it, he now fights to return to the old ways—when the land was untamed, and blood spilled freely—and eagerly battles all who oppose him, with tooth, claw, and thundering domination.

在一些人心中，他是雷霆咆哮，是滚雷风暴，是瓦尔海尔。另一些人心中，他是荒芜，是受过千万刀枪的巨熊，还是屹立者。但在那些依然遵循旧习古道的部族中，他被称为沃利贝尔。

To some, he is the Thunder’s Roar, the Greatstorm, or Valhir. To others, he is Ruin, the Thousand-Pierced Bear, or He Who Stands. But to most of the tribes who still hold to the old ways, he is known as the Volibear.

破坏、力量、还有化为实体的风暴，沃利贝尔代表了所有不可阻挡的力量，也代表着弗雷尔卓德这片土地本身的怒火。早在凡尘种族来到世上之前，沃利贝尔和他的半神同胞们塑造了这片土地，并称之为沃尔瑞加德。传说中，他一掌下去，撕出了“五岔峡湾”；他与岩浆巨蟒隆德展开的史诗之战形成了无数条峡谷与沟壑；沃利贝尔最终击败了那只野兽，它流出的鲜血成为了弗雷尔卓德上的第一条河流，它留下的巨大骸骨形成了飞龙背山脉。

Destruction, strength, and the storm made manifest, the Volibear represents the unstoppable power and fury of the Freljord itself. It was the Volibear and his demi-god kin who formed the land they called Vorrijaard long before the arrival of the mortal races. The sagas tell how he created the Five Fjords with one mighty swipe of his claws, and how his epic battle with the savage magma-serpent, Rhond, formed countless valleys and ravines. When the Volibear finally felled the beast, its blood became the first river in the Freljord, and its colossal corpse formed the Wyrmback Mountains.

在先民部族的时代，野性的魔法汹涌奔放。沃利贝尔受到所有人的崇敬与膜拜，因为人们都需要他不羁的力量才能够生存。大战一次次打响，沃利贝尔每次都会带着自己的追随者冲上战场，他们身穿着刻有符文的战甲，铸造者正是他的兄长，熔炉的半神，奥恩。当时，兄弟俩情同钢铁，经常并肩作战，只不过奥恩从来都没那么渴望战斗。沃利贝尔在攻坚克难后的胜利中欣喜若狂，后来献给他的血祭越来越多，他的力量也越来越膨胀。

In the days of the first tribes, wild magic ran rampant. The Volibear was venerated and worshipped by all, for they needed his indomitable strength to survive. Great wars were waged, and the Volibear took to the field alongside his followers, clad in rune-inscribed armor made by his brother Ornn, demi-god of the forge. At the time, the brothers’ bond was strong—they often fought at each other’s side, even though Ornn never had quite the same lust for battle. The Volibear reveled in hard-fought victories, and as ever more blood offerings were made to him, his power swelled.

不多时日，沃利贝尔就和他的同胞们渐渐疏离，醉心于各自不同的追求。即便如此，他们之间并没有真正的分歧……直到后来新的思想开始取代古老的信仰。

In time, the Volibear and his kin drifted apart, each focusing on their own pursuits. Even so, there was no true division between them… until new ideas began to usurp the old beliefs.

三姐妹的势力崛起了，她们要掌控弗雷尔卓德并带来秩序。应当如何应对，诸位半神无法达成一致。以艾尼维亚为首的几位，倾向于跟三姐妹合作，而沃利贝尔和铁山猪则想要摧毁她们。其他半神则打算置之不理，因为这些渺小的生物终有一死，世世代代皆无例外。

Three sisters rose to power, seeking to control and impose order on the Freljord, and the demi-gods could not agree on how to proceed. A few, like Anivia, seemed inclined to work with the sisters, while the Volibear and the Iron Boar wanted to destroy them. Others would have been content to ignore them completely, since these feeble creatures would eventually die like all before them.

沃利贝尔的目光看向了他的追随者——极为野蛮残暴的熊人族。只要有他们，他就能击败三姐妹。备战期间，他找到了奥恩，请他为自己麾下的战士们打造神兵利器。

The Volibear looked to the most animalistic and savage of his followers, known as the Ursine. With them, he would defeat the three sisters. In preparation, he sought out Ornn to arm his warriors for battle.

但奥恩拒绝了。他不赞成熊人族的凶残，于是两位半神之间爆发了一场战斗。激战过后，沃利贝尔咒骂着自己兄长的名字，扔下了他刻有符文的战甲。从那以后，他只愿用尖牙、利爪、蛮力和雷霆作为武器。他并未因此而变得脆弱，恰恰相反，沃利贝尔发现自己释放出了全部的力量。

But Ornn refused. He did not approve of the Ursine’s savage ways, and a terrible fight erupted between the two demi-gods. In the aftermath, the Volibear cursed his brother’s name, and cast off his rune-inscribed armor. He would fight from then on with just tooth, and claw, and might, and thunder. Far from being lessened, the Volibear found his full power was now unleashed.

带着新生的怒火，他正面挑战了三姐妹其中之一，这个女人想要盗取半神的力量，为己所用。在她的整支军队面前，他将那个女人击倒，还令她永远失明——但他却无法阻止她早已推动的计谋。

With newfound rage, he confronted one of the mortal sisters who sought to steal the power of the demi-gods for herself. Before her entire army, he struck her down, blinding her—but he was unable to stop what she had already set in motion.

几百年过去，虽然沃利贝尔奋力反抗，但人类的部族纷纷抛弃旧神，开始崇敬并膜拜三姐妹。

As the centuries rolled by, and despite the Volibear’s resistance, tribes began to venerate and worship the Three Sisters instead.

许多古老的习俗都已被遗忘。他看到人类部族躲藏在石墙的背后，而不是直面自然的严酷。他看到农民在土地上耕作，在牧场上放牧，而不是采集与狩猎。他看到一条条大河被水坝围堵，无法自由奔流。于是他发出愤怒的呼号。这不是他的弗雷尔卓德。这些改变发生得很缓慢——就像冰川的移动。但沃利贝尔终于意识到，人类的部族已经与这片土地的狂野灵魂彻底断绝，他们已经变得怯懦、顺从、软弱。这些弱者已经不再遵从古道，也不再崇敬古神。

Many of the more ancient practices were forgotten. He saw tribes cowering behind stone walls rather than face the rawness of nature. He saw fields being tilled, and farmers herding cattle rather than hunting. He bellowed in fury to see great rivers dammed rather than be allowed to roar free. This was not his Freljord. The change had happened slowly—glacially—but the Volibear finally came to realize that the tribes had been cut off from the wild spirit of the land, making them frail, compliant, and soft. These weaklings had no reverence for the old ways, or old gods.

愤怒与决心在他体内隆隆作响。他发誓要撕碎一切人类文明的痕迹，让弗雷尔卓德重返古态，回归真正的野性。人类将再次变得强壮。他将再次获得所有人的敬畏。

Anger and determination rumbled within him. He vowed to tear down all evidence of civilization and return the Freljord to its ancient state as a true wilderness. The people would become strong once more. He would again be honored and feared by all.

沃利贝尔的呼唤回荡于北地的群山与旷野，越来越多的弗雷尔卓德人开始响应。慢慢地，旧习与古道正在被人们记起并遵循，每当新的追随者加入，他的力量都在增长。

As the call of the Volibear reverberates across the mountains and plains of the north, more and more Freljordians are responding. Slowly, the old ways are being remembered and re-embraced, and his strength grows with each new follower.

一场鲜血的清算在等待……而沃利贝尔正在向着那一刻狂奔。

A reckoning of blood awaits… and the Volibear is rushing toward it.
