1e<Manual of the Planes.051>側元素位面THE PARA-ELEMENTAL PLANES（節選）
元素大君Archomentals：
沒有側元素集團有一位特定的領導人，不過總是有些冰領主、粘液男爵、熔岩將軍和煙公爵競逐著它們對應集團的控制權。元素大君archomentals 中的最強者被視作半神力，其中只有一位，即冰位面的 克里歐那克斯Cryonax 已被描述過（見《邪魔對開本FIEND FOLIO®》）。克里歐那克斯是這些位面中此類強大權能的典型。儘管他與（火位面和土位面的）伊密克斯Imix 或 歐雷莫奇Ogremoch 不相上下，但在側位面沒有強大神力來約束他的行動。克里歐那克斯就和其祂側位面的親王與公主一樣，懷揣著一個壓倒一切的願望：讓他的冰位面王國成為一個主導元素位面，能與周圍的位面等同或取代它。他夢想有朝一日在冰位面的邊界創造自己的 雪泥與霜雪「側元素」位面"para-elemental" planes of Slush and Snow。據說，克里歐那克斯的華麗宮殿利用了 負能量位面the Negative Material plane 之力，不過其目的尚未被揭曉。
None of the para-elemental groups have one particular leader, but there are always ice lords, slime barons, magma generals, and smoke dukes vying for control of their respective groups. The most powerful of these archomentals are treated as Demi-Powers, and of these only one, Cryonax of the plane of Ice, has been described (FIEND FOLIO® tome). Cryonax is typical of such great powers in these planes. Though he is the equal of Imix or Olhydra (of the planes of Fire and Earth), there are no Greater Powers in the para-planes to control his actions. Cryonax, like the other princes and princesses of the paraplanes, has an overriding desire to establish his realm of Ice as a dominant elemental plane, equalling or replacing the planes about it. He has dreams of creating his own "para-elemental" planes of Slush and Snow on the borders of Ice. Cryonax's ornate palace is said to tap the forces of the Negative Material plane, though to what end has not yet been revealed.
其祂側元素邪惡親王的能力與力量相似，不過祂們的目的與意圖對大部分主物質位面土著來說都是個謎。祂們那被從腐爛的書籍中搶救出來的名諱為：煙霧位面之 埃卡克Ehkahk、岩漿位面之 赤利比亞Chlimbia、以及軟泥位面之 畢溫博Bwimb。
The abilities and powers of other princes of para-elemental evil are similar, though their aims and intentions are a mystery to most natives of the Prime Material plane. Their names, rescued from rotting books, are Ehkahk of the plane of Smoke, Chlimbia of the plane of Magma, and Bwimb of the plane of Ooze.
1e<Fiend Folio.p031>邪惡元素親王ELEMENTAL PRINCES OF EVIL
邪惡元素親王Elemental Princes of Evil
邪惡氣、寒冷、土、火和水元素生物親王是群強大的存在，祂們主要統治著 元素位面Elemental Planes，但在 主物質位面Prime Material Plane 也擁有許多追隨者。儘管祂們彼此經常爆發衝突（主要是通過各自下屬發生），但邪惡元素親王們的確有一些共同特徵，隨意使用，祂們均能使用：偵測隱形detect invisibility，驅散魔法dispel magic（施法者等級20），熱感視覺infravision（持續1天），知曉陣營know alignment，暗示術suggestion（持續12小時），無誤傳送術teleport without error。每日各3次，祂們還可：通曉語言comprehend languages，閱讀魔法read magic。每日1次，祂們還能：心靈遙控telekinesis（600金幣價值的重量）。
The princes of evil air, cold, earth, fire and water creatures are powerful beings whose principal are of domination are on the Elemental Planes but who also have many followers on the Prime Material Plane. Though often at odds with each other (mainly through the actions of their underlings) the elemental princes of evil do share certain common characteristics, each being able to perform detect invisible, dispel magic (at 20th level), infrawsion (duration one day), know alignment, suggestion (duration 12 hours) and teleportation (no error), all at will. They have a special telepathic power which enables them to understand and converse with any intelligent creature. Three times per day (each) they can read languages and read magic; once per day they can telekinese 6,000 gold pieces weight.
每位親王的經驗值價值僅限於摧毀其物質界形態。如果這位親王永久被殺，則經驗值價值將翻10倍。
The experience point value shown for each prince is for destroying the material form only. If a prince is killed permanently, the XP value is multiplied by 10.
2e<Monstrous Compendium - Planescape Appendix III.p016>元素大君Archomental（邪惡evil）
元素大君Archomental（邪惡evil）
在四個 元素位面Elemental Planes（以及甚至一個 准元素位面Paraelementals）上，有那麼一些元素生物凌駕於同類之上，將其它元素盡皆納入麾下。謠言稱這些領袖——老鳥們稱之為 元素大君archomentals——扭曲脫離了孕育了祂們的 內層位面Inner Planes 真實本質，呈現出超越其上的世界觀。換句話說，祂們披上了善與惡的外衣。
On the four Elemental Planes (and even one of the Paraelementals), there are those elemental beings that rise above their fellows, subjugating the rest under their own rule. Chant is these leaders — bloods known as archomentals — twist away from the true nature of the Inner Planes that spawned them and take on the outlooks of those beyond. In other words, they adopt the mantle of good and evil.
[印記城黑話：Chant, the——表示新聞，本地閒話，事實，情形或者其他任何有關當前局勢的事情.
"What's the chant?"是打探最新消息常用的一句話。如一定要翻譯到主物質位面地球上來，那麼就是」What’s Up?」]
[印記城黑話：Blood——專家，智者或是任何領域的老鳥。一個角鬥士冠軍可以是一個 blood, 一個強大的巫師也可以是blood.稱呼某人為blood是對其特別尊敬的一種表示.]
事實上，有些人喜歡以 邪惡（或善良）元素親王the Princes of Elemental Evil (or Good) 或類似衍生名來稱呼元素大君。但這些元素高層討厭這個想法——祂們自認獨一無二，極少以某個群體自稱。因此，「正確的」稱呼尚不可知。
Fact is, some folks refer to the archomentals as the Princes of Elemental Evil (or Good) or similar derivations of that name. But the elemental high-ups resent the idea that they're anything but unique, and rarely refer to themselves as a group at all. Thus, the 「correct」 term is unknown.
元素大君並不統治祂們各自的位面和所有在那的元素，而是控制著自己故鄉位面內的神國，儘可能多地掌控一些不那麼強大的元素。就像 深淵領主Abyssal lords，祂們並非真正的神力，但所差也只是咫尺之遙。親王們可以被殺，但卻可以向侍奉和崇拜祂們的祭司們授予法術：僅通過信仰就可以獲得第1~3級法術，而如果祂們親自出現，則還能授予4級法術。元素大君的消息已經傳播到了多元宇宙各地。任何與一種特定元素——即便他並未居住在內元素位面——都知道這些親王，並恐懼著祂們的力量。
The archomentals don’t rule their respective planes or all the elementals found there. Instead, they control realms within their home planes, mastering as many of the less powerful elementals as they can. Like Abyssal lords, they're not true powers, but they are only one step removed. The princes can be slain, and yet they can grant spells to priests who serve and worship them — 1st- through 3rd-level spells through faith alone, and 4th-level spells if they appear in person. Word of the archomentals has spread throughout the multiverse. Any berk who's associated with a particular element —even if he's not native to the Inner Planes — knows of the princes and fears their power.
[印記城黑話：Berk——巴佬。一個笨蛋，尤指那些因為搞不清狀況而把自己捲入大麻煩的傢伙。]
每日1次，隨意使用，所有元素大君都可施展以下法術，施法者等級20：偵測隱形detect invisibility，驅散魔法dispel magic，熱感視覺infravision（持續1天），知曉陣營know alignment，暗示術suggestion（持續12小時），無誤傳送術teleport without error。每日各3次，祂們還可施展以下法術：通曉語言comprehend languages，閱讀魔法read magic。每日1次，祂們能：心靈遙控telekinesis（600磅）。所有元素大君都有能力理解和溝通任何智慧生物。
All archomentals are able to cast the following spells (once per round, at will) as though they were 20th-level casters: detect invisibility, dispel magic, infravision(duration of one day), know alignment, suggestion (duration of 12 hours), and teleport without error. They can cast each of the following spells three times per day: comprehend languages and read magic. Once per day, they can cast telekinesis (600 pounds). All archomentals have the ability to understand and converse with any intelligent creature.
據說，邪惡元素親王們與一種只知道被稱為 上古元素之神the Elder Elemental God 的存在有關聯。據推測，有些親王是那隻生物的後代，往輕里說，這讓祂們成了悖亂的手足同胞。
The Princes of Elemental Evil are said to have a relationship with the mysterious being known only as the Elder Elemental God. Supposedly, some of the princes are that being's offspring, making them queer siblings to say the least.
3e<Dragon 347.p029>元素大君The Archomehtals
譯者：Proxy of Sune
邪惡元素親王Princes of Elemental Evil
元素位面里潛伏著強大的存在。一些是善良的，其他的則充滿了惡意。這些邪惡的存在密謀統治整個元素位面。邪惡元素親王們The Elemental Princes of Evil 就有這樣的野心,而且他們也擁有足夠的力量和意志來實現他們的願望。
Greater powers lurk on the elemental planes. While some are benign, others arc a malig nancy, plotting schemes of domination that encompass entire planes of existence. The Elemental Princes of Evil harbor such hopes, and they possess the power and will to bring them to life.
和他們的善良對立面一樣，他們都是元素親王，元素位面中僅次於真神的最強大的存在。他們的身份類似於大魔鬼、惡魔主君和天界生物的首領。元素親王認為自己是所屬位面的統治者，冠以「親王」和「領主」之類的標識自己統治者身份的頭銜。
Along with their good counterparts, these bekigs arc collectively known as archomcntals, powerftd exemplary beings of the Elemental Planes. Less powerful than true deities, they arc similar in status to the archfiends and celestial paragons. Arcbomentals fancy themselves rulers of their planes' natives, claiming regal titles such as prince and lord.
每一個元素大君都認為自己是獨一無二的，這樣的念頭使得他們目中無人。這些元素王子們經常發生爭執，甚至有時候公開發動戰爭。所有元素生物都清楚邪惡元素大君的實力並對他們充滿了恐懼之情，除了他們的對立面——善良元素親王the Elemental Princes of Good。最強大的元素之神（卡署斯Kossuth、依斯提悉亞Istishia、谷藍巴Grumbar、阿卡狄Akadi）對善良和邪惡的元素親王們一直持觀望態度，只有在某一陣營占據了足以影響到平衡的優勢時他們才會插手。
Each archomental considers itself unique, balking at the idea that it could be in the same class as any other being. These princes are often at odds with one another and sometimes openly at war. All elemental creatures know the power of the evil archomentals and fear them, but their counterparts, the Elemental Princes of Good, oppose them directly. The greater elemental gods (Kossuth, Istishia, Grumbar, and Akadi) keep careful watch on both the good and evil archomcntals and only involve themselves when one side threatens to gains too much influence over its respective plane.
元素親王是多元宇宙最古老的存在之一。他們中的一部分參與了 早古年代Age Before Ages 的 秩序與混亂之戰Law and Chaos。善良元素親王站在了代表秩序一方的 艾夸的風之公爵Wind Dukes of Aqaa 一邊，大部分的邪惡元素親王則站到了 混沌女王the Queen of Chaos 一邊。至今仍然能夠發現他們力量的殘餘潛藏在四處分散的重要戰爭遺蹟中。儘管在 血戰Blood War 中並不活躍，一些邪惡親王卻擁有幾個強大的煉獄盟友，還有一些元素大君則把 大魔鬼archdevils 和 惡魔親王demon princes 視為敵人。
The archomcntals are among the oldest living beings in the multivcrsc. Several of them fought in the ancient wars between Law and Chaos that spanned several Material Plane worlds in the Age Before Ages. The good archo-mentals sided with the vaati, the legendary Wind Dukes of Aqaa, while the evil princes, for the roost part, aided the Queen of Chaos and her minions. Remnants of their forces are still found lurking across the scattered sites of importance to the war. Although not actively involved in the Blood War, several powerful fiends have made alliances with the Princes of Elemental Evil, and a few archomentals count archdevils and demon princes as enemies.
上古元素之眼Elder Elemental Eye 宣稱自己是大多數邪惡元素王子的祖先，是他創造了他們。古宗教的研究者們推測這個神祉實際上是遠古的邪神——薩瑞茲頓Tharizdun（見《完美神力Complete Divine》，123頁）。靠著這種所謂的「關係」，薩瑞茲頓的一部分信徒，在數千年間與邪惡元素大君成功的達成了多種協議。薩瑞茲頓利用惡魔 祖格莫依Zuggtmoy 建造了 邪惡元素之殿Iferaple of Elemental Evil，她與半神力 伊烏茲Iuz 建立了四個強大的可以連通元素位面的結點。薩瑞茲頓慫恿 伊密克斯Imix、歐雷莫奇Ogremoch、奧利德拉Olhydra 和 延-西-賓Yan-C-Bin 暗中施以援手，以便讓他的信徒可以召喚這些親王們來削弱囚禁著自己的永恆監獄的力量。
The evil god known as the Elder Elemental Eye claims to have sired most of the Elemental Princes of Evil, making them strange siblings indeed. Scholars of ancient religions speculate that this god is actually the ancient evil, Tharizdun (Complete Divine, 123). Lending credence to this alleged paternity, small cults ofTharizdun have successfully madepacts with the evil archomentals over the millennia with varying degrees of success. Tharizdim used the demon Zuggtmoy to construct the infamous Iferaple of Elemental Evil, in which she and the demigod Iuz opened conduits to four powerful nodes on the Elemental Planes. Tharizdun encouraged Imix, Ogrmoch, Olhydra, and Yan-C-Bin to secretly assist in crafting the nodes, which would allow his followers to summon the princes and thereby weaken the bonds that hold him in his eternal prison.
和強大邪魔一樣，元素大君可以代替神性力量賜予法術（見《邪惡之書Book of Vile Darkness》，123頁），在 主物質位面Material Plane 存在著大量崇拜他們的信徒。
Like powerful fiends, archomcntals can grant spells as proxies for divine powers (see Book of Vile Darkness, page 123, for details), and many have large cults on the Material Plane dedicated to them.
元素大君特性Archomental Traits
如果沒有特別說明，所有的元素大君擁有下列特性。
Although not a specific subtype, all archomcntals share the following traits.
元素大君的天生武器和他使用的武器在對抗傷害減免時視為邪惡陣營武器。
An archomcntal's natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Feats listed in their entries with an "E" are epic feats and may be found on page 209 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.
改變形態Change Shape（超自然Su）：
通過一個標準動作，元素大君可以變化為與自己所屬元素類型相同的任何種類的元素生物（克里歐那克斯Cryonax 可以變為寒冷系元素生物），就如同法術 形體變化shapechange 一樣。在這種形態下元素親王無法使用天生武器（但可以使用和現有形態適合的武器和裝甲）。這種效果無法被驅散，當元素大君被殺死之後將會變回原來的形態。法術 真知術true seeing 可以看穿他的真實外貌。
An archomcn-tal can assume the shape of any creature with the same elemental subtype or cold subtype, for Cryonax), as the shapechange spell as a standard action. In an assumed form, an archomen-tal cannot use its natural weapons (although it can equip itself with weapons and armor appropriate to its appearance). An archomental remains in one form until it chooses to assumr a new one. A change in form cannot be dispelled, but the archomental reverts to its natural form when killed. A true seeing spell revals its natural form.
命令元素Elemental Coromand（超自然Su）：
元素大君可以嘗試控制100呎範圍內的與自己類型相同的任何元素生物。目標除非通過一個豁免難度為10+1/2元素大君HD＋元素大君的魅力修正的意志豁免，否則將被元素大君完全控制。如果通過了豁免，在24小時之內該元素生物不會再受這個能力的影響。元素大君可以控制任意數量的元素生物。
An archomcntal can attempt to gain control over any elemental of the same subtype within 100 ftet. Hie elemental must make a successful Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the archomental’s HD the archomentai's Cha modifier) or succumb to the archomental's control. An elemental that saves against this attack is immune to that archomental's elemental command ability for 24 hours. An archomental has no limit to the number of clcrmcntals it can control.
一旦被元素親王控制，除非是被控制的元素生物或者元素親王死亡，或元素大君解除控制，或被召喚的時間結束（如果這個被控制的元素生物是被其他人召喚的），否則受控者將完全聽從元素親王的任何命令，甚至包括攻擊原本召喚自己的主人。元素大君不需要保持專注就能控制他們。
Once under the archomcntars command, an elemental serves the archomental until either it or the archomental dies, until the archo-mental dismisses it. or until the duration for its summoning expires. It obeys the archomental explicitly, even if ordered to attack a being (hat originally summoned it *Ilie archo> mental docs not need to concentrate to maintain control over any elemental it commands.
類法術能力Spell- Like Abilities：
所有的元素大君可以任意施展以下類法術能力：偵測邪惡detect evil，偵測善良detect good，高等解除魔法greater dispel magic，高等傳送術greater teleport，識破隱形see invisibility，暗示術suggestion，心靈遙控telekinesis。施法者等級20。豁免難度為10＋元素大君的魅力修正＋法術等級。

巧言術Tongues（超自然Su）：
所有的元素大君能與任何至少掌握一種語言的生物交談，如同通過使用 巧言術tonigues 法術（施法者等級14）。該能力始終生效。
All archomentals can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (caster level 14th). This ability is always active.
3e<Dragon 353.p042>元素大君，第二部分The Archomehtals, Part Ⅱ
善良元素親王Princes of Elemental Good
類似於天界典範和大魔王，元素大君Archomentals 是 元素位面Elemental Planes 上的強大模範生物。在 邪惡元素親王Elemental Princes of Evil（見《Dragon 347》）們的怒火撼動了多元宇宙上千年，善良元素親王Elemental Princes of Good 站在了祂們邪惡對手的對立面，阻止祂們主宰元素位面，並最終統治所有實存位面。
Archomentals are powerful exemplary beings of the Elemental Planes, similar to the celestial paragons and archfiends. While the fury of the Elemental Princes of Evil (see Dragon #347) has shaken the multiverse for millennia, the Elemental Princes of Good stand against their evil counterparts to prevent them from dominating the Elemental Planes and, ultimately, all planes of existence.
雖然並不統治各自的家園位面，但元素大君仍然擁有著相當大的權力。每位元素大君都有一支龐大的支持者大軍，很少在缺少足夠支持的情況下被捲入戰鬥。每位元素大君都在其位面上控制著一片龐大的領土，並居住在森嚴壁壘的城堡中——這有助於祂們的長期倖存。
Although they don't rule their home planes, archomentals still command considerable power. Each archomental has a vast army of supporters, and it is rarely drawn into battle without adequate support. Every archomental holds sway over a large dominion on its plane and dwells in a well-protected fortress, contributing to its long-lasting survival.
善良元素親王也是些古老存在，不過邪惡元素親王的歷史明顯早於祂們。傳說中說元素位面們本身在 早古年代Age Before Ages 誕下了祂們，作為阻止其邪惡對立面過於強大的平衡力量。在祂們的起源時代，秩序與混沌之間的道德戰爭正焦灼進行。四位初出茅廬的元素大君——嫦Chan、本-哈達Ben-hadar、蘇妮絲Sunnis、和 芭瑞絲提雅·佩兒Bristia Pel（火元素公主）成了戰友，在對這場衝突進行了觀察後，祂們得出結論：秩序的一面也應該是善良的一面。
The good archomentals are ancient beings, although the Elemental Princes of Evil clearly predate them. Legends say the Elemental Planes themselves birthed the Elemental Princes of Good in the Age Before Ages, to serve as a balancing force to prevent their evil counterparts from becoming too powerful. During their genesis, the moral wars between Law and Chaos raged on. The four fledgling archomentals一Chan, Ben-hadar, Sunnis, and Bristia Pel (princess of Fire) became comrades, and after observing the conflict they concluded that the side of Law should also be the side of Good.
善良親王們急切地加入了 瓦提族the vaati（也被稱為 艾夸的風之公爵the Wind Dukes of Aaqa），但很快，祂們就驚詫於原來邪惡元素也存在於秩序的一方中。在發現 延-西-賓Yan-C-Bin 與風之公爵們的聯盟後，嫦立即切斷了自己與這場衝突的瓜葛。兩位低級元素領主——「岩漿之」赤利比亞Chlimbia 和 「煙霧之」埃卡克Ehkahk of Smoke 也與瓦提族並肩作戰。在一場重大戰鬥結束後，赤利比亞和埃卡克背叛了善良元素大君，伏擊並摧毀了芭瑞絲提雅·佩兒。不再抱幻想的本-哈達背棄了瓦提族，最終在戰爭期間加入了混沌一側，只有蘇妮絲仍然堅定地站在了秩序一側。
The good princes eagerly joined the vaati, also known as the Wind Dukes of Aaqa, but were soon dismayed to find evil elementals among the forces of Law. Upon discovering Yan-C-Bin's alliance with the Wind Dukes, Chan immediately ended her involvement with the conflict. Two lesser evil elemental lords, Chlimbia of Magma and Ehkahk of Smoke, also fought alongside the vaati. In one of the war major battles, Chilimba and Ehkahk betrayed the good archomentals, ambushing and destroying Bristia Pel. Disillusioned, Ben-hadar abandoned the vaati, eventually joining the side of Chaos for the war's duration, while Sunnis remained steadfastly with the side of Law.
善良元素親王們缺乏像祂們邪惡對手那樣遍及諸位面的一系列與聲望。然而無論這應該歸因於邪惡親王們存在的時間更長、還是因為祂們的力量更強，善良元素大君們都會試圖去削弱這種邪惡的威望。
The Elemental Princes of Good lack the same level of influence and reputation throughout the planes that their evil counterparts enjoy. Whether due to the evil princes longer existence or greater power, the good archomentals seek to lessen this foul prestige.
和 天界典範celestial paragons 們一樣，善良元素大君可以代替神性力量賜予法術（見《崇善之書Book of Exalted Deeds》，123頁）。然而，祂們並不鼓勵以祂們的名諱在 主物質位面Material Plane 組織教會。
Like the celestial paragons, good archomentals can grant spells as proxies for divine powers (Book of Exalted Deeds, 123). They do not, however, encourage cults organized in their names on the Material Plane.
元素大君特性Archomental Traits
雖然元素大君並非一個特定亞種，但祂們共享以下特性。
Although not a specific subtype, all archomentals share the following traits.
善良元素大君的天生武器和他使用的武器在對抗傷害減免時視為善良陣營武器。
A good archomentals natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

改變形態Change Shape（超自然Su）：
通過一個標準動作，元素大君可以變化為與自己所屬元素類型相同的任何種類的元素生物，就如同法術 形體變化shapechange 一樣。在這種形態下元素親王無法使用天生武器（但可以使用和現有形態適合的武器和裝甲）。這種效果無法被驅散，當元素大君被殺死之後將會變回原來的形態。法術 真知術true seeing 可以看穿他的真實外貌。
An archomental can assume the shape of any creature with the same elemental subtype, as the shapechange spell, as a standard action. In an assumed form, an archomental cannot use its natural weapons (although it can equip itself with weapons and armor appropriate to its appearance). An archomental remains in one form until it chooses to assume anew one. A change in form cannot be dispelled, but the archomental reverts to its natural form when killed. A true seeing spell reveals its natural form.
命令元素Elemental Coromand（超自然Su）：
元素大君可以嘗試控制100呎範圍內的與自己類型相同的任何元素生物。目標除非通過一個豁免難度為10+1/2元素大君HD＋元素大君的魅力修正的意志豁免，否則將被元素大君完全控制。如果通過了豁免，在24小時之內該元素生物不會再受這個能力的影響。元素大君可以控制任意數量的元素生物。
An archomental can attempt to gain control over any elemental of the same subtype within 100 feet. The elemental must succeed on a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the archomental's HD + archomental's Cha modifier) or succumb to the archomental's control. An elemental tliat saves against this attack is immune to that archomental's elemental command ability for 24 hours. An archomental has no limit to the number of elementals it can control.
一旦被元素親王控制，除非是被控制的元素生物或者元素親王死亡，或元素大君解除控制，或被召喚的時間結束（如果這個被控制的元素生物是被其他人召喚的），否則受控者將完全聽從元素親王的任何命令，甚至包括攻擊原本召喚自己的主人。元素大君不需要保持專注就能控制他們。
Once under the archomental command, an elemental serves the archo-mental until either it or the archomental dies, until the archomental dismisses it, or until the duration for its summoning expires. It obeys the archomental explicitly, even if ordered to attack a being that origmally summoned it The archomental does not need to concentrate to maintain control over any elemental it commands.
類法術能力Spell- Like Abilities：

已知荒神候選名單Roster of Known Primordials
許多荒神被歸類為 元素大君archomental——祂們統治著廣闊的元素疆域，支配許多低級生物向其效忠。這個團體包括 元素親王elemental princes（詳述於早前章節）。有些荒神被凡人尊為神明，被視作某一神系的成員。即便這些存在本質並非神性存在，但祂們向祂們的祭司降下了元素的力量，並被紅多凡人崇拜。已被 無底深淵Abyss 徹底轉化或消化的荒神不在此列表之中。將像 狄摩高根Demogorgon、奧庫斯Orcus 和 巴菲門特Baphomet 這樣的存在，視作 惡魔領主demon lords 而非荒神更為恰當。
Many primordials are categorized as archomentals—beings that rule vast elemental domains and command the allegiance of many lesser creatures. This group includes the elemental princes, detailed earlier in this section. Some primordials are revered as deities by mortals and are counted as members of pantheons. Even though these entities are not divine in nature, they bestow elemental powers on their priests and are venerated by hosts of mortal followers. Primordials that have been wholly transformed or consumed by the Abyss are not included in this list. Creatures such as Demogorgon, Orcus, and Baphomet are more properly described as demon lords, not primordials.
