传记

婕拉诞生于一次远古的巫术灾难，她是获得了实体形态的自然之怒，是拥有诱人外观的植物与人类的混合体。她的每一个脚步都在点燃新的生命。在她眼里，瓦洛兰的众多凡人都只不过是供她播种的猎物，用夺命的尖刺杀死他们也是一件不值一提的小事。虽然她的真正目的还是个谜，但婕拉一直在世界上流浪，肆意放纵自己占领土地的欲望，同时扼杀自己领地上的所有其他生命。

Born in an ancient, sorcerous catastrophe, Zyra is the wrath of nature given form—an alluring hybrid of plant and human, kindling new life with every step. She views the many mortals of Valoran as little more than prey for her seeded progeny, and thinks nothing of slaying them with flurries of deadly spines. Though her true purpose has not been revealed, Zyra wanders the world, indulging her most primal urges to colonize, and strangle all other life from it.

婕拉的记忆很久远，而且和大地的根脉一样深厚。她记得自己的族类还很年轻的时候，符文战争席卷世界，凡人的军队互相征战，争夺造物的关键。

Zyra’s memory is long, and runs as deep as the roots of the earth. Her kind was young when the Rune Wars raged, when mortal armies fought one another for the very keys of creation.

在库莽古南方的密林中，分割东部恕瑞玛的两条大河之间，隐藏着传说中的婕露花园。元素魔法以奇异无常的方式改变了这片土地，养育了凶猛的食肉植物。任何靠近的迷途生物都是它们的猎物。它们在这里生长、吞食，毫不在意凡人之间的争吵，只要藤条不断爬过森林和沼泽，就能让它们心满意足。从它们的角度来说，它们全都是婕拉……食物和营养十分丰富，即使在战乱下也不受影响。有一小群士兵，他们所效忠的势力现已遗失在时间中，当时他们穿越这片土地是为了寻找怎样的战利品，现在也已无人记得。带领他们的是一位野心勃勃的女法师——但他们却远离家乡，注定要葬身于这片诅咒之地的毒雾和孢粉之中。

Hidden in the jungles south of Kumungu, somewhere between the great rivers that divide eastern Shurima, lay the fabled Gardens of Zyr. Elemental magics had turned the soil there in strange and unpredictable ways, giving rise to fierce, carnivorous plants that preyed upon any creature that strayed within reach. They infested and they devoured, caring nothing for the squabbles of mortals, content merely to coil their vines through the forests and swamplands. In their own way, they were all Zyra… and nourishment was plentiful, even in the midst of war.花园的居民袭向他们，带刺的触须抽打在铠甲和血肉上，轻而易举地撕裂。虽然他们英勇抵抗，但这群战士知道自己坚持不了多久，于是向他们的女法师求助。她唤起力量，制造了一次强力的爆炸。空气中燃烧着符文的印记，发出诡异的光，此时丛生的荆棘已经开始包围逼近。A small company of soldiers, their allegiance long since lost to time, advanced through those lands in search of some now-forgotten prize. They were led by an ambitious sorceress—but they were far from home, bound to succumb to the noxious fumes and spores of that accursed place.就在那一瞬间，一个失控的火花点燃了弥漫的沼气，导致爆炸抹杀了方圆几里之内的一切生灵。散落在各地的符文战争的幸存者中，没有任何人知道婕露花园最终遭遇的命运。The denizens of the Gardens set upon them, spined tendrils lashing through armor and flesh with sadistic ease. Though they fought valiantly, the warriors knew they could not hold out long, and turned to their sorceress to save them. Gathering her powers, she wrought a mighty blast. The air burned with runic symbols, casting their eerie light even as the thorny overgrowth closed in.几百年过去了。曾作为战场的土地表面空旷死寂……但在地下的深处，有东西被搅动了。爆发的能量早已沉淀、凝结，在魔爆异尘的滋养下，一个种荚胀开了，脉动着非自然的生命力。最后，一个生物爬了出来，大口喘息，充满疑惑。它看到一个破碎的、不一样的世界，身体中洋溢着新的活力和新的想法。它的脑海中混杂着矛盾的记忆，是它脚下的沃土给了它记忆，强行灌输到这个刚刚诞生的自我意识当中。它能记起太阳的温暖、雨露的甘甜、力量的言辞还有上百个凡人死亡的痛苦。In that very instant, a rogue spark ignited the gases of the swamp, and the resulting magical explosion obliterated every living thing for miles around. Of the scattered survivors of the Rune Wars, none would ever know what fate had befallen the Gardens of Zyr.出于某个它自己也不理解的理由，它——她——将自己称为婕拉。她踏出诞生地，走向外面的旷野，婕拉知道自己和遇到的其他生物截然不同。凡人让她觉得可怕和不悦，而那些缥缈的灵体则往往反复无常，或者狂妄自大。这些生灵似乎全都不尊重自己所生存的领域，只要存在就要无度地掠夺。这样的生灵让婕拉充满愤怒与鄙夷。她踏足过的土地上，新的生命肆无忌惮地萌发出来——全都是贪婪的植物，在她的注视下不断改变与进化，能够射出剧毒的倒刺，或者以可怕的速度萌发出藤蔓触须。Centuries passed. The land where the battle had been fought lay empty and lifeless above ground… but in the depths, something stirred. Long had the energies that were unleashed there settled, and curdled, nourished by the fallout. A seedpod bulged, pulsing with unnatural life, until a creature clawed its way free, gasping and confused.不再受根系所限的婕拉开始了游荡，她带着夺命的果实种籽不断捕食和成长，绞杀世界上的一切其他生命。她曾让耕地凋零，侵占整座定居点，并碾碎那些对抗她的勇者或者蠢人，所到之处全都变成可怕的奇花异草的展廊。It beheld a broken and changed world, brimming with new vitality and new ideas. Its mind was a puzzle of conflicting memories, drawn from the loamy earth and forced into its fledgling consciousness. It could recall the warmth of the sun, the taste of rain, words of power, and the agony of a hundred mortal deaths.随着恕瑞玛的河流再度充沛，河岸上出现了陌生的植被，每个季节都在慢慢向东蔓延。无论是被连根拔起还是被烈火焚烧，生长的速度都丝毫不见减缓……It—she—called herself Zyra, without quite understanding why.As she ventured out into the wildlands beyond her birthplace, Zyra knew she was different from other creatures she encountered. Mortals were fearful and unpleasant things, while more ethereal entities tended to be capricious, or arrogant. None of them seemed to respect the realms they inhabited, despoiling everything with their mere presence, and that filled Zyra with rage and contempt. Almost unbidden, new life sprang up in her footsteps—voracious plant forms that changed and evolved beneath her gaze, hurling poisonous barbs or sprouting fresh tendrils at an alarming rate.Unrooted and free to wander, Zyra and her deadly progeny feed, and grow, strangling all other life from the world. She has blighted farmland, overrun entire settlements, and crushed those warriors brave or foolish enough to confront her, always leaving a menagerie of botanical horrors in her wake.As the rivers of Shurima begin to run anew, strange flora has been sighted on their banks, spreading slowly westward with each passing season. Whether pulled from the earth or purged by fire, the growth does not seem to be slowing…
