传记

身为瓦斯塔亚的志士，霞要掀起一场革命来拯救她的族群。她身法敏捷又慧心独具，凭借锋芒逼人的羽刃，扫除任何异己。霞与她的灵魂伴侣洛并肩作战，共同守护他们日渐衰落的部族，同时韬光养晦，希望终有一天能率领全族重夺昔日荣光。

Deadly and precise, Xayah is a vastayan revolutionary waging a personal war to save her people. She uses her speed, guile, and razor-sharp feather blades to cut down anyone who stands in her way. Xayah fights alongside her partner and lover, Rakan, to protect their dwindling tribe, and restore their race to her vision of its former glory.

小时候，霞极爱听父亲吟唱古代瓦斯塔亚英雄们的古老民谣。萦绕耳畔的悠扬旋律会将她带回久远的从前。那个时候，葵林岛上的魔法自由奔放，赋予洛特兰部族无穷的力量。

As a child of the Lhotlan tribe, Xayah loved listening to her father sing folk-hymns about ancient vastayan heroes. The haunting melodies transported her to a long-forgotten time, when magic danced freely through the island of Qaelin, imbuing the Lhotlan with immense power.

然而世世代代的人类都在不断进犯，蚕食着瓦斯塔亚自古以来居住的土地，打破他们的原始精萃。许多部族都开始衰退，他们与初生之土的精神连接渐渐被切断，也因此失去了活力。他们不得不与对立的凡人进行谈判交涉。

Yet with each new generation, humans encroached farther into all the vastaya’s ancestral tribelands, disrupting their raw essence. The tribes began to fade, losing vitality as they were gradually cut off from the spirit of the First Lands, and were forced to negotiate with their mortal rivals.

霞无奈地看到，她们的犹罗阿使节与凡人们商定的条约总是很快就被打破，次次如此。最令她担忧的是，人类发现了巨型石阵“琨珑”的奥秘，利用它们控制住了艾欧尼亚的自然魔法，从而保护他们不断扩张的聚集地。

Xayah watched in frustration as, time and again, her tribe’s juloah ambassadors made treaties with mortals that were swiftly broken. Most disturbingly, humans had discovered the secrets of towering constructs known as quinlons, and were using them to inhibit Ionia’s natural magic in order to protect their expanding settlements.

虽然霞和其他志同道合的族人呼吁反击，但洛特兰族却自我封闭起来，逃避凡人的世界，固守自己所剩无几的土地。但这样也还是无法换来保护，最后他们被赶出了自己的家园。

Even though Xayah and others like her urged their people to fight back, the Lhotlan instead withdrew into themselves, shunning the mortal world as they clung to what little they had left. Yet this would not protect them, and they were eventually driven from their homes.

洛特兰变成了漂泊的游牧民族。霞变成了自由的战士。

The Lhotlan became rootless nomads. Xayah became a freedom fighter.

她并非独自一人。艾欧尼亚各地纷纷出现了瓦斯塔亚的反叛，他们要对凡人复仇。和平谈判的机会早已荡然无存。霞决定把自己夺命的羽毛用在战斗中，释放这片土地的野生魔法。

And she was not alone. Vastayan rebellions were growing across Ionia, seeking retribution against mortals. The time for negotiation was over. Xayah was determined to use her lethal quills in battle, to release the land’s wild magic.

她在严密把守的城堡要塞之中来去翻飞，所过之处留下一连串的尸体，并因此得来“紫鸦”的诨名。她对这项事业的赤诚无与伦比，她所关心的只有下一个任务，以及解放同胞的下一阶段行动。虽然她珍爱叛军中的战友，但通常都独来独往，因为她相信自己比任何人都更优秀。

Flitting in and out of the most fortified strongholds and leaving a trail of bodies in her wake, she earned the sobriquet “the Violet Raven”. Her dedication to the cause was unmatched, as she focused only on the next mission, and the next step toward freedom for her kind. Though she cherished her rebel allies, she usually acted alone, believing she could do the job better than any other.

但后来她遇到了那个将改变她一生的瓦斯塔亚。

But then she met another vastaya who would change her life forever.

一次，她前往翁库沃的一座偏远山镇找寻一件失窃的古物，在那里看到了一群嘈杂的人类。人群前方的舞台上站着一个羽翼浮夸、艳如烈焰的表演者，唱着瓦斯塔亚古老的歌谣，歌声悠扬令人沉醉。歌曲将尽，他又使出几个让人眼花缭乱的俗套花招，人群欢声雷动，反复高呼他的名字：“洛！洛！洛！”

After she entered the remote mountain town of Vlonqo in search of a stolen artifact, she was struck by the sight of a braying crowd of humans. Onstage before them stood a preening, flamboyant performer, who sang old vastayan songs for his captivated audience. As he finished his show with a dazzling array of cheap tricks, the crowd erupted and chanted his name: Rakan! Rakan! Rakan!

他夸张地鞠了一躬。霞不以为意，觉得他只是个丑角。虽然他同为洛特兰的族人，但这个洛只不过是个愚蠢的穆鞑袴。

He took a theatrical bow. Xayah dismissed him as a buffoon. A fellow Lhotlan he might be, but this Rakan seemed like nothing more than a foolish mu’takl.

霞决心不再理睬他，继续完成自己的任务……不过她也不能否认，多亏了洛干扰了当地人的注意力，她的任务轻松了不少。

Xayah willed herself to ignore him, and completed her mission... which she couldn’t deny had become far easier thanks to Rakan distracting the locals.

还没等霞逃进野外，洛先找了上来。他先是进行了一番赞美，想要迷住她却徒劳无果，然后这名没头没脑的瓦斯塔亚询问了洛特兰部族的消息。当她告诉他部族已经失去了家园，他的羽翼暗淡了，他的震怒令她感到意外。或许这个洛比她想象的更复杂。

Before Xayah could flee into the wilderness, Rakan accosted her. After making a series of failed attempts to charm her with flattery, the brash vastaya asked for news of the Lhotlan tribe. When she told him they had lost their lands, his plumage darkened, and she was surprised at the depth of his rage. Perhaps there was more to Rakan than she’d thought.

当她对他讲述自己的真正事业，他请求加入她的行列。别的不行，他制造干扰的本领还是有的，于是霞同意了。

When she told him of her true cause, he begged to join her. Seeing potential in his ability to create diversions, if nothing else, Xayah agreed.

他们的旅途开始了，对她来说洛是一个可用之才，就是有点烦人。这个喜欢卖弄的战舞舞者能够在敌军之中轻松闪转腾挪，制造混乱，然后让霞轻易将他们击倒。不得不说，这种作战风格几乎弥补了他那记不住霞的精密计划的臭记性。

When they began their travels, she saw Rakan as a useful—but annoying—asset. The showboating battle-dancer would leap and pirouette through enemies with ease, distracting them before Xayah struck them down. Indeed, this fighting style almost compensated for his irritating inability to remember Xayah’s meticulous plans.

洛也在其他方面帮助了霞。她心直口快、说话带刺；而他则富有洞见和感染力。原本她只能诉诸暴力的问题，他却能用魅力和说辞解决。她觉得他有一种不可思议的能力，能察言观色，判断一个人是否值得信任。有时候她会质疑洛对凡人的同情心，但她却从不怀疑他对反叛大业的忠诚。

Rakan helped Xayah in other ways as well. While she was blunt and abrasive, he was insightful and charismatic, able to use charm and persuasion where she would have resorted to violence. She was impressed by his uncanny ability to assess people’s emotions and trustworthiness. She sometimes questioned Rakan’s compassion for mortals, but never doubted his devotion to the rebel cause.

最后，霞意识到自己对洛的感情变了。他自由不羁的精神和做派有一种说不出的明快，让她越来越着迷。时间久了，她已经习惯他的陪伴，而且尽管一开始她耻于承认，但茫茫天地不再如从前一般无望而孤单。他们变得密不可分。

Eventually, Xayah realized her feelings for Rakan were changing. There was a lightness to him and his free-spirited ways that she found aggravatingly alluring. Over time, she grew to welcome his company, and—though she was initially loath to admit it—the world didn’t feel so broken and lonely. They became inseparable.

在随后的多年间，他们两个成为了令人闻风丧胆的瓦斯塔亚英雄，关于他们的事迹开始在四面八方流传。诺克萨斯侵略战争结束后，艾欧尼亚人已经变得更有侵略性和危险性，尤其是纳沃利地区的人，还有四处结仇的“影流”。虽然如此，但变局也让霞和洛得以召集数不尽的瓦斯塔亚加入他们的行列，他们的反叛梦想即将结出果实。

In all the years since, the two of them have become formidable champions of the vastaya, and word of their deeds is spreading. In the wake of the Noxian invasion, Ionians are undeniably more aggressive and dangerous—especially the peoples of Navori, and the hated “Order of Shadow”. Even so, this has enabled Xayah and Rakan to rally countless more vastaya to their side, and their dream of rebellion is coming to fruition.

他们将一起奋战，夺回初生之土，让所有瓦斯塔亚部族再次繁荣。

Together, they will fight to reclaim the First Lands, so that the tribes may thrive once again.
