2eFR<Demihuman Deities.p092>精灵神系ELVEN PANTHEON
诸国度the Realms 的 优雅族裔The Fair Folk 崇拜名为 席德瑞恩诸神the Seldarine 的神系, Seldarine这个复合词大致可以翻译为“树木的兄弟与姐妹团契the fellowship of brothers and sisters of the wood”,这暗示了精灵神系诸神们在利益上的存在的多样性和他们对于合作互助的愿望。他们的行动彼此独立,不过精灵诸神力被爱、好奇心以及友谊联合在一起,来结合他们的力量、来共同完成任务、来面对外部威胁。柯瑞隆·拉瑞斯安Corellon Larethian,席德瑞恩诸神人所共知的统治者——有时候,他的配偶(不管被认为是 莎罕妮Sehanine 还是 安格芮丝Angharradh)也会被纳入共同统治者——强化了这种行动的自主权,而不会强迫席德瑞恩诸神去完成任何任务。相反,精灵神系的诸神看上去知道什么时候需要这样做,并且他们也只会在必须时联合一致。除了 费马罗·莫斯德林Fenmarel Mestarine 这个例外,席德瑞恩诸神都居住在 阿梵多国度the realm of Arvandor——这个单词在精灵语中意为“至高森林the high forest”——而这个国度则位于 奔放之野Arborea 位面名为 奥林匹斯山Olympus 的层面上。
The Fair Folk of the Realms worship a pantheon of deities known as the Seldarine, a complex term that can be roughly translated as the fellowship of brothers and sisters of the wood, implying the wide diversity in interests that exists among the gods of the elven pantheon and their desire for cooperation. They act independently of one another, but the elven powers are drawn together by love, curiosity, and friendship to combine their strengths, to accomplish a task, or in the face of outside threats. Corellon Larethian, the acknowledged ruler of the Seldarine - sometimes joined by his consort, who is either identified as Sehanine or Angharradh-reinforces this freedom of action and compels none of the Seldarine to perform any task. Instead, the gods of the elven pantheon seem to sense when something needs doing, and they simply gather when necessary. With the exception of Fenmarel Mestarine, the Seldarine reside in the realm of Arvandor-a term that means the high forest in elvish-on the plane of Arborea on the layer known as Olympus.
这种关系被归因于席德瑞恩诸神力之间巨大的文化差异;一些神话认为他们全是兄弟姐妹,而其它的则认为柯瑞隆(以及有时还有莎罕妮或安格芮丝)从阿梵多国度的自然环境中创造了其他神力。其他贤者则以各种浪漫关系来连接席德瑞恩诸神。在大部分的陈述中,精灵神系包括的男神都比女神更多,但席德瑞恩诸神的所有成员都既可以展现为男性、也可以展现为女性。席德瑞恩诸神的双性特质反映了大部分精灵社会中的男女平等特征。
Relations ascribed to the various powers of the Seldarine vary widely from culture to culture; some legends hold them all to be brothers and sisters, others believe Corellon (and sometimes Sehanine or Angharradh) created the other powers from the natural environment of Arvandor. Other sages link the Seldarine in various romantic relationships. In most representations, the elven pantheon includes more gods than goddesses, but every member of the Seldarine can appear as either male or female. The androgynous nature of the Seldarine reflects the gender equality found in most elven societies.
除了关于安格芮丝本性的分歧外,在 费伦大陆Faerûn 的精灵们中对组成席德瑞恩诸神的神力有哪些存在普遍共识。每个精灵国度和精灵亚种对于诸神的相对重要性有他们自己的一套看法,以至于在某些隔绝的精灵文化中,有些席德瑞恩诸神成员甚至已淡出了人们的记忆。
Aside from disagreement over the nature of Angharradh, there is general agreement among the elves of Faerûn as to which powers make up the Seldarine. Each elven realm and subrace places its own emphasis on the relative importance of various powers to the point where some members of the Seldarine fade from memory in some isolated elven cultures.
席德瑞恩诸神的正式成员由柯瑞隆(或者根据一些神话,由柯瑞隆与安格芮丝共同)确定。不同于尽管 拉杜格Laduguer 已为 摩拉丁Moradin 流放,而仍然将他计入 摩丁萨曼诸神the Morndinsamman 的矮人,优雅族裔不会在使用“Seldarine”这个术语时包含那些精灵神系被流放的成员。善良和中立的精灵神明,包括柯瑞隆、安格芮丝、艾德莉·法恩雅Aerdrie Faenya、深海·赛悉拉Deep Sashelas、艾瑞汶·伊拉希尔Erevan Ilesere、哈娜莉·瑟拉妮尔Hanali Celanil、拉贝拉斯·恩诺瑞思Labelas Enoreth、瑞里芬·莱勒菲Rillifane Rallathil、莎罕妮·月弓Sehanine Moonbow、谢瓦拉许Shevarash、索罗诺尔·杉岚德瑞Solonor Thelandira,一直是席德瑞恩诸神资格完备的成员,不过费马罗已不再积极参与神系的事务。有许多卓尔神力,包括 阿罗诗Araushnee(也即现在的 罗丝Lolth)、伊莉丝翠Eilistraee、以及 维伦Vhaeraun,曾被认为是席德瑞恩诸神的一部分。紧接着一场 席德瑞恩之敌the anti-Seldarine(一支由反叛的阿罗诗和她同谋的儿子所集结的邪神联盟)对阿梵多国度的入侵,她们遭柯瑞隆的教令被逐出了阿梵多国度。在卓尔神系中,只有伊莉丝翠有朝一日可能将正式回归席德瑞恩诸神,但更可能的情况是,她将仅仅与她曾经隶属的这支神系保持亲密的盟友关系。幽暗少女The Dark Maiden 无意参与阿罗诗的计划,但她仍然自愿接受放逐,因为她预见到有一天自己作为一位局外人,将需要为遭 蛛后the Spider Queen 自我毁灭计划抛弃的卓尔提供指引。
Formal membership in the Seldarine is determined by Corellon (or by Corellon and Angharradh, according to some myths). Unlike the dwarves, who still count Laduguer as a member of the Morndinsamman despite his banishment by Moradin, the Fair Folk do not include banished members of the elven pantheon when they use the term Seldarine. The good and neutral elven gods, including Corellon, Angharradh, Aerdrie Faenya, Deep Sashelas, Erevan Ilesere, Fenmarel Mestarine, Hanali Celanil, Labelas Enoreth, Rillifane Rallathil, Sehanine Moonbow, Shevarash, and Solonor Thelandira, have always been members of the Seldarine in good standing, although Fenmarel has with drawn from active involvement in the pantheon. Many of the drow powers, including Araushnee (now Lolth), Eilistraee, and Vhaeraun, were once considered part of the Seldarine. They were exiled from Arvandor by Corellon's decree following an invasion of Arvandor by the anti-Seldarine, a coalition of evil gods assembled by the traitorous Araushnee and her complicitous son. Of the drow pantheon, only Eilistraee might someday formally rejoin the Seldarine, but it is more likely she will simply remain a close ally of the pantheon to which she once belonged. The Dark Maiden did not intentionally participate in Araushnee's schemes, but she willingly accepted banishment nonetheless, foreseeing the day her role as an outsider would be needed to guide those drow who spurned the self-destructive dogma of the Spider Queen.
席德瑞恩诸神与 喜乐王庭the Seelie Court 的诸神以及其祂森林神祇有着亲密的联系,而优雅族裔在崇拜席德瑞恩诸神时通常也会向其他妖精神力祈祷。所有崇敬席德瑞恩诸神一位或多位成员的信仰,都践行着对其他精灵神祇以及与自然密切相关的宗教们(“护林人”斯凯里特Skerrit the Forester 便是绝佳的榜样)的追随者们的宽容。喜乐王庭或多或少地被认为包括了仙灵、海仙灵、皮克精、水泽精、微蛉精、蟋蟀精、半羊人、水妖精、棕仙、小矮妖、树精(以及树神)、独角兽、飞马、半人马、天鹅仙女、水车精killmoulis、树人、伪龙与妖精龙、喜乐妖精seelie faerie、妖精小提琴手faerie fiddler、以及 金雀花妖精gorse faerie 的神明。泰坦妮亚Titania 和 奥伯龙Oberon 统治着喜乐王庭,而先前列出的那些生物中,有一些被认为是王庭比其他生物更为紧密的一部分。(喜乐王庭的仇敌是 哀怒王庭the Unseelie Court,后者在 空暗女王Queen of Darkness 统治之下,哀怒妖精unseelie faerie、快可灵quickling、以及 黑莓妖精bramble faerie 等等侍奉着她。)虽然此类神力与精灵们关系密切,但她们并非席德瑞恩诸神的一部分。
The Seldarine are closely linked with the gods of the Seelie Court and other sylvan deities, and the Fair Folk often include prayers to other faerie powers when worshiping the Seldarine. All faiths that venerate one or more members of the Seldarine practice tolerance for followers of the other elven gods as well as for religions of closely allied nature (the cult of Skerrit the Forester being a prime example). The Seelie Court is more or less assumed to include the deities of the sprites, sea sprites, pixies, nixies, atomies, grigs, satyrs, korred, nymphs, brownies, leprechauns, dryads (and hamadryads), unicorns, pegasi, centaurs, swanmays, killmoulis, treants, pseudodragons and faerie dragons, seelie faeries, faerie fiddlers, and gorse faeries. It is ruled by Titania and Oberon, and certain of the previously listed creatures are considered more tightly a part of the Court than others. (The enemy of the Seelie Court is the Unseelie Court, ruled by the Queen of Air and Darkness, who is served by unseelie faeries, quicklings, and bramble faeries, among others.) While such powers have close ties to the elves, they are not counted as part of the Seldarine.
虽然精灵神系的诸神积极地介入他们崇拜者们的集体生活,但极少会在影响特定个体、甚至是小群精灵的事件中直接出手干预。类似于优雅族裔,席德瑞恩诸神往往有着非常长远的目光,他们绝不会在未进行大量的考虑和讨论便直接干预诸国度历史的演变。席德瑞恩诸神进行干涉的著名实例有:引发了 永聚岛Evermeet 的创造与定居安置;卓尔的 大沉降the Descent;决定召唤精灵的代表们到 科曼索精灵王庭the Elven Court of Cormanthyr;迷斯·卓诺Myth Drannor 在它所体现的指导思想下的建立;竖琴手the Harpers 的创立;月落之年the Year of Moonfall(1344 DR)启动 大撤离the Retreat;以及 断弦竖琴之年the Year of the Unstrung Harp(1371 DR)防守永聚岛。
While the gods of the elven pantheon are actively involved in the collective lives of their worshipers, few intervene directly in events affecting a particular individual or even a small group of elves. Like the Fair Folk, the Seldarine tend to have very long-range perspectives, and they never intervene directly in the unfolding history of the Realms without a great deal of consideration and discussion. Notable instances of intervention by the Seldarine have resulted in the creation and settlement of Evermeet, the Descent of the drow, the decision to summon representatives of the elves to the Elven Court of Cormanthyr, the founding of Myth Drannor under the guiding principles it embodied, the creation of the Harpers, the initiation of the Retreat that began in the Year of Moonfall (1344 DR), and the defense of Evermeet in the Year of the Unstrung Harp (1371 DR).
精灵神话传说认为,优雅族裔在柯瑞隆在与 格乌什Gruumsh 的搏斗中流出的血里诞生,并沐浴在莎罕妮(或安格芮丝)的泪水中。(该神系的大部分成员都对类地精神系们抱着一种仇恨或至少是厌嫌;包括兽人、地精、大地精、熊地精、狗头人、以及蝠翼狗头人。)有些神话声称:第一位出现在诸国度中的精灵完全根据柯瑞隆的形象塑造,用阳光、月光、森林、云、海洋、以及阴影编织。其它神话则宣称,至少有一些亚种的精灵——尤其是金精灵和月精灵——从另一个或更多世界(通常被认定是“妖精国度Faerie”),通过由魔法传送门迁徙到了艾伯尔-托瑞尔星球。神话们也讨论了优雅族裔的自然起源与席德瑞恩诸神许多成员拥有的、呈现为非精灵自然形态(这种形态在体型上远比他们的普通化身更庞大)的能力紧密相关。举例来说,瑞里芬·莱勒菲能展现为一棵巨大的橡树;深海·赛悉拉能展现为一片庞大、高耸(依稀为人形)的海潮;艾德莉·法恩雅能展现为一朵白云;而柯瑞隆·拉瑞斯安则能展现为一轮湛蓝的新月或星星。
Elven mythology holds that the Fair Folk were born of the blood which Corellon shed in his battles with Gruumsh and bathed in the tears of Sehanine (or Angharradh). (Most members of the pantheon have an enmity for or at least a dislike of the goblinkin pantheons; those of the orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears, kobolds, and urds.) Some legends state that the first elves appeared in the Realms fully formed and shaped in Corellon's image, woven by magic from sunbeams, moonbeams, forests, clouds, seas, and shadows. Other myths claim that at least some of the elven subraces-the gold elves and moon elves, in particular-migrated to Abeir-Toril through magical gates from one or more other worlds, most commonly identified as "Faerie." Myths discussing the natural origins of the Fair Folk are closely tied to the ability of many members of the Seldarine to assume nonelven, natural forms far greater in size than is common for their avatars. For example, Rillifane Rallathil has appeared as a massive oak tree, Deep Sashelas has appeared as a giant, towering (vaguely humaniform) wave of sea water, Aerdrie Faenya has appeared as a white cloud, and Corellon Larethian has appeared as an azure crescent moon or star.
精灵神学中优雅族裔、魔法与自然世界之间的联系令人困惑。大部分精灵信仰着重精灵与生命和自然的统一,并且往往协调了精灵与所处环境之间的差异,就像席德瑞恩诸神被认为是阿梵多国度的精魂一样。举例来说,优雅族裔拥有的是“精魂spirits”而非“灵魂souls”,许多精灵相信自己将转世为动物、植物、妖精族裔、甚至是再世为精灵。同样地,精灵也是 魔网the Weave 的生物,是笼罩着艾伯尔-托瑞尔星球魔法网络密不可分的一部分。
One is struck in elven theology by the close relationships between the Fair Folk, magic, and the natural world. Most of elven faiths emphasize elven unity with life and nature, and they tend to blend the distinction between elves and their environment, much as the Seldarine are held to be spirits of Arvandor. For example, the Fair Folk have spirits, not souls, and many elves believe they will be reincarnated as animals, plants, faerie folk, or even elves once again. Similarly, elves are creatures of the Weave, tightly bound to and part of the web of magic that envelops Abeir-Toril.
优雅族裔自称为 泰'奎瑟一族Tel'Quessir,这是个精灵术语,意为“人民”。他们称其他所有种族为 恩'泰'奎瑟一族N'Tel'Quess,这是种不太尊重的 精灵语elvish 表达,意为“非人民”。泰'奎瑟一族包括七种知名的精灵亚种,每种都被认为在25个千纪前出现于诸国度,并已与人类混血形成了半精灵。艾伯尔-托瑞尔星球最早的精灵居民为:塞-泰'奎瑟一族the Sy-Tel'Quessir,俗称为绿精灵、森林精灵或木精灵,以及 黎-泰'奎瑟一族the Ly'Tel'Quessir,俗称为 兽化精灵lythari 和 翼精灵the avariel,也被称作 有翼精灵winged elves。虽然塞-泰'奎瑟一族仍然可以在诸国度许多广阔的森林中发现,但黎-泰'奎瑟与翼精灵一族已尽皆从费伦大陆消失,今日有许多人相信她们只是神话生物。
The Fair Folk refer to themselves as Tel'Quessir, an elvish term meaning the people. They refer to all other beings as N'Tel'Quess, a less-than-diplomatic elvish express-ion meaning not'peopk. The Tel'Quessir originally included seven known subraces of elves, each of which is believed to have appeared in the Realms over 25 millennia ago and all of which have interbred with humans to form half-elves. The earliest elven inhabitants of Abeir-Toril were the Sy-Tel'Quessir, commonly known as green elves, forest elves, sylvan elves, or wood elves, the Ly'Tel'Quessir, commonly known as lythari, and the avariel, also called winged elves. While the Sy-Tel'Quessir may still be found in many of the great forests of the Realms, the avariel and the Ly'Tel'Quessir have all but vanished from Faerûn and today many believe them to be creatures of legend only.
斯瑞-泰'奎瑟一族The Ssri-Tel'Quessir——也被称为黑暗精灵或 伊利斯特瑞Ilythiiri,后者是最成功的部落之名——从费伦大陆南方丛林出现;而大约是同一时间,艾尔-泰'奎瑟一族the Ar-Tel'Quessir(也被称作金精灵、日精灵、晨曦精灵、或是高等精灵)与 忒-泰'奎瑟一族the Teu-Tel'Quessir(也被称作月精灵、银精灵、或者灰精灵),在费伦的南方区域出现。在一段时间之后,阿鲁-泰'奎瑟一族The Alu-Tel'Quessir,俗称 水生精灵aquatic elves、海精灵或水精灵,于 巨海the Great Sea 和 坠星海the Sea of Fallen Stars 出现。虽然这两支在地理上互相隔绝的海精灵肤色上有差异,但仍然被视为同一亚种。最后,混种精灵elven crossbreeds(在大部分精灵历史上极为罕见),作为一支渺小但独特的族群慢慢地在诸国度出现。虽然大部分半精灵是人类与精灵混血的产物,但传说也提及了半身人与精灵和矮人与精灵的杂交。唯有在 深林谷Deepingdale、丹布雷斯Dambrath、以及 攸木林the Yuirwood 为半精灵族群甚至相对稳定,然而,如果双亲并非都是半精灵,他们的后代一定会是与非半精灵那一方相同的种族。与席德瑞恩诸神普遍的宽容本性保持一致,精灵教会们(尤其是哈娜莉·瑟拉妮尔的教会)相较于一般的精灵社会,对半精灵们的态度远更欢迎和接纳。
The Ssri-Tel'Quessir-also known as dark elves or Ilythiiri, the name of the most successful tribe-emerged from the southern jungles of Faerûn around the same time that the Ar-Tel'Quessir, commonly called gold elves, sun elves, sunrise elves, or high elves, and the Teu-Tel'Quessir, known variously as moon elves, silver elves, or gray elves, appeared in the northern reaches of Faerûn. The Alu-Tel'Quessir, commonly known as aquatic elves, sea elves, or water elves, appeared in both the Great Sea and the Sea of Fallen Stars sometime thereafter. Although the two geographically isolated populations of sea elves have since diverged in skin tone, they are still in-terfertile and considered a single subrace. Finally, elven crossbreeds, incredibly rare for most of elven history, have slowly emerged as a small but distinct population in the Realms. While most half-elves are of mixed human and elven heritage, legends speak of halfling-elf and dwarf-elf crosses as well. Only in Deepingdale, Loudwater, Dambrath, and the Yuir-wood are half-elf populations even relatively stable, however, for their offspring are invariably the same race as the other parent if both parents are not half-elves. In keeping with the generally tolerant natures of the Seldarine, elven churches, particularly that of Hanali Celanil, are far more welcoming and accepting of half-elves than elven society in general.
随着 巨龙时代the Time of Dragons 的终结,优雅族裔的 第一次繁盛The First Flowering 到来。沿着费伦西海岸和南部,精灵进入了五大主要文明。沿着今日的 剑湾the Sword Coast 之地、从北向南,分别是:艾瑞凡达Aryvandaar(金精灵)、伊尔法兰Illefarn(绿精灵)、麦叶理塔Miyeritar(黑暗精灵和绿精灵)、桑塔·欧斯瑞尔Shantel Othreier(金精灵和月精灵)、以及 凯尔特米尔Keltormir(月精灵和绿精灵)。在南部诸国度,有三个较小的国度位于今日被称作 维洪海域the Vilhon Reach 的地区的主要森林中——塞尼塔亚Thearnytaar、艾伊鲁尔Eiellur、以及 塞佩尔Syopiir(绿精灵);还有两个国度位于曾经覆盖 夏亚the Shaar 的森林中——奥利沙亚Orishaar(月精灵)与伊利斯特瑞(黑暗精灵)。扩张主义的 瓦珊塔帝国Vyshaantar Empire(即艾瑞凡达)无情的侵略,与破坏性的伊利斯特瑞肆无忌惮的残酷行为,在五次 皇冠战争Crown Wars 中最终瓦解了精灵在费伦的力量。
The First Flowering of the Fair Folk occurred as the Time of Dragons came to an end. The elves settled into five major civilizations along the western coast and southern reaches of Faerûn. From north to south along the lands now known as the Sword Coast were Aryvandaar (gold elves), Illefarn (green elves), Miyeritar (dark and green elves), Shantel Othreier (gold and moon elves), and Keltormir (moon and green elves). In the southern realms were three smaller realms in the major forest south of what is now known as the Vilhon Reach-Thearnytaar, Eiellur, and Syopiir (green elves)-and two realms in the forests that once covered the Shaar- Orishaar (moon elves) and Ilythiir (dark elves). The relentless aggression of the expansionistic Vyshaantar Empire (Aryvandaar) and the unbridled cruelty of destructive Ilythiir played out over the course of five Crown Wars that eventually shattered elven power in Faerûn.
在第四次皇冠战争后,席德瑞恩诸神被迫进行了干预,而斯尔-泰'奎瑟一族(在麦叶理塔毁灭后只分别于伊利斯特瑞)被转化为了今日的黑曜石皮肤、白色头发生物。被取名为 卓哈瑞尔dhaeraow(精灵语术语,意为背叛者,之后腐化为了“卓尔drow”)的那些精灵被放逐到 幽暗地域the Underdark 不见天日的地方。在这场大沉降后,根据柯瑞隆的裁决,精灵种族的长者们聚集到了东方的大森林中,在成为了精灵王庭、进行判决和审判的地方,对这场分裂和冲突的原因进行辩论。在大量的辩论之后,瓦珊家族the Vyshaan 被发现有罪,而瓦珊塔帝国在紧接着判决的第五次皇冠战争中被毁灭了。在最后的皇冠战争后的十个千纪中,在 “绿郁之岛”永聚岛Evermeet the Green Isle 上、在 艾弗瑞斯卡谷the Vale of Evereska 中、在 至高森林the High Forest 里、在科曼索的广阔森林内、攸木林的遥远森林中,精灵文明们兴起、然后因各种原因陨落,但再未复现皇冠战争的精灵内部冲突造成的如此规模的破坏。然而,优雅族裔的人口从未恢复曾经,而精灵统治费伦大陆的时代也远去已久。事实上,精灵在费伦的大陆上的存在,已经跌落到了25个千纪以来的最低水准。
After the fourth Crown War, the Seldarine were forced to intervene, and the Ssri-Tel'Quessir, found only in Ilythiir after the destruction of Miyeritar, were transformed into the obsidian-skinned, white-haired beings they are today. Named dhaeraow-an elvish term for traitor, since corrupted into drow-these elves were banished to the sunless reaches of the Underdark. After the Descent, at Corellon's insistence, the elders of the elven race assembled in the great forest to the east to debate the cause of the divisiveness and strife at a place of decision and judgment that became the Elven Court. After much debate, the Vyshaan were found to be culpable and the Vyshaantar Empire was destroyed in the fifth Crown War that followed the verdict. In the ten millennia since the last Crown War, elven civilizations have risen, and in some cases fallen, on Evermeet the Green Isle, in the Vale of Evereska, in the High Forest, in the great forest of Cormanthor, and in distant woodlands of the Yuirwood, but the destructive intra elven strife of the Crown Wars has never been repeated on such a wide scale. The Fair Folk have never recovered in population, however, and the age when the elves ruled Faerûn has long since passed. In fact, with inception of the Retreat in the Year of Moonfall (1344 DR), the elven presence on the mainland of Faerûn has fallen to its lowest levels in 25 millennia.
精灵神系的多样性反映了精灵亚种的多彩,每个亚种都与席德瑞恩诸神的子集关系亲密,而每位精灵神力都与一支或多支亚种密切相关。特别是,柯瑞隆·拉瑞斯安、哈娜莉·瑟拉妮尔、拉贝拉斯·恩诺瑞思与艾尔-泰'奎瑟一族密切相关,而莎罕妮·月弓(或安格芮丝)、索罗诺尔·杉岚德瑞则与忒-泰'奎瑟一族密切相关。类似的,瑞里芬·莱勒菲、谢瓦拉许和索罗诺尔·杉岚德瑞与塞-泰'奎瑟一族以及(谢瓦拉许除外)黎-泰'奎瑟关系密切,与此同时,深海·赛悉拉则与阿鲁-泰'奎瑟关系密切。在大沉降之前,斯尔-泰'奎瑟与阿罗诗(也即现在的罗丝)、伊莉丝翠、维伦关系密切,这种关系仍然存在于卓尔和他们崇拜的黑暗诸神之间。卓尔与其他精灵亚种之间存在的深刻裂痕,同样反映在了席德瑞恩诸神与阿罗诗和她的后代之间,正如席德瑞恩诸神与席德瑞恩之敌之间的神战反映了皇冠战争的冲突一样。
The diversity of the elven pantheon reflects the wide range of elven subraces, for each subrace is closely associated with a subset of the Seldarine and each elven power is closely associated with one or more of the subraces. In particular, Corellon Larethian, Hanali Celanil, and Labelas Enoreth are closely associated with the Ar-Tel'Quessir and Hanali Celanil, Sehanine Moonbow (or Angharradh), and Solonor Thelandira are closely associated with the Teu-Tel'Quessir. Similarly, Rillifane Rallathil, Shevarash, and Solonor Thelandira are closely associated with both the Sy-Tel'Quessir and (with the exception of Shevarash) the Ly Tel'Quessir, while Deep Sashelas is closely associated with the Alu-Tel'Quessir. Before the Descent, the Ssri-Tel'Quessir were closely associated with Araushnee (now Lolth), Eilistraee, Vhaeraun, a relationship that still exists between the drow and the dark gods they worship. The deep schism between the drow and the other elven subraces is also reflected in the divisions between the Seldarine and Araushnee and her brood, just as the deific battles between the Seldarine and the anti-Seldarine reflect the strife of the Crown Wars.
通过一些措施,席德瑞恩诸神容纳了一支神系中的神系。在数世纪前,在 查-泰'奎瑟一族the Cha-Tel'Quessir(攸木林的半绿精灵)在 阿戈拉隆王国Aglarond 出现前,攸木林的塞-泰'奎瑟一族接受和吸纳了此前受到原始人类(他们先于精灵在这片森林中定居)崇敬的远古神力。坐落于攸木林心脏的是 太阳林隙the Sunglade,期间占据主导的是两道同心石柱圈。外圈的各块石头上都刻着一位不同的席德瑞恩诸神成员,而内圈的各块石头则刻着攸尔诸神某位的徽记。在那十块石头中,只有四个徽记仍然清晰:无限分枝之瑞卡Relkath of the Infinite Branches、“熊”马格纳尔Magnar the Bear、伊莉卡勒雪Elikarashae、以及 “舞者”赞蒂拉Zandilar the Dancer 。第五块石碑据信曾有 欣布Simbul(边缘与抉择的时刻之女神)的记号,这也是 艾拉丝兰·珊特兰卓Alassra Shentrantra 常见称谓的来源。除了一位外,攸尔诸神全体都由于长期缺乏信徒而遭削弱,而在优雅族裔第一次抵达攸木林时被席德瑞恩诸神吸收,现在,他们仅仅只是瑞里芬·莱勒菲、谢瓦拉许、拉贝拉斯·恩诺瑞思以及其他精灵神力野性、原始的面相。只有“舞者”赞蒂拉在塞-泰'奎瑟一族到来后仍然保留了某种程度的独立。然而,在为了避免自己的信徒如其祂被吸收者的崇拜者一样被卓尔击败,而对“蒙面之主”维伦Vhaeraun the Masked Lord 施行了不成功的诡计后,她的神力也过度衰落,而被迫与 穆尔霍兰德人Mulhorandi 女神 芭丝特Bast 融合(现名为 夏芮丝Sharess)。除了“舞者”赞蒂拉外,攸尔诸神那些面相的详述仍然可以在对应席德瑞恩神力条目中找到,而“舞者”赞蒂拉则在《神力与神系Powers & Pantheons》夏芮丝条目中。
By some measures, the Seldarine contain a pantheon within a pantheon. In centuries past, before the Cha-Tel'Quessir (half-green elves of the Yuirwood) appeared in Aglarond, the Sy-Tel'Quessir of the Yuirwood adopted and coopted ancient powers previously venerated by primitive humans who had preceded even the elven settlement of the forest. Little remains to mark the worship of these ancient powers, although their legends are still retold in the oral tradition of the Cha-Tel'Quessir. At the heart of the Yuirwood is the Sunglade, dominated by two concentric rings of stone menhirs. While each stone of the outer ring bears an inscription to a different member of the Seldarine, each stone of the inner ring is inscribed with the symbol of one of the gods of the Yuir. Of those ten stones, only four symbols are still legible:Relkath of the Infinite Branches, Magnar the Bear, Elikarashae, and Zandilar the Dancer. A fifth menhir is believed to have once held the sign of the Simbul, the goddess of the edge and the moment of choice, from whom Alassra Shentrantra's common appellation is derived. All but one of the gods of the Yuir, weakened by the long absence of their faithful, were absorbed by the Seldarine when the Fair Folk first arrived in the Yuirwood, and they are now simply wild, primitive aspects of Rillifane Rallathil, Shevarash, Labelas Enoreth, and the other elven powers. Only Zandilar the Dancer retained any degree of independence after the coming of the Sy-Tel'Quessir. However, she too declined in power and was forced to merge with the Mulhorandi goddess Bast (now known as Sharess) after an unsuccessful gambit against Vhaeraun the Masked Lord that she initiated in the hope of averting the defeat other adopted worshipers by the drow. Details of those aspects of the gods of the Yuir that are still remembered may be found in the entries for the corresponding powers of the Seldarine or, in the case of Zandilar the Dancer, in the entry for Sharess found in Powers & Pantheons.

2e<Dragon 251.p028>席德瑞恩诸神的魔法Magic of the Seldarine
在 席德瑞恩诸神the Seldarine 中的魔法是如此的强大,以至于大部分精灵神明(包括他们的报应 卓尔诸神the gods of drow)——都与某种形式的魔法存在特定的联系。虽然在席德瑞恩诸神中 柯瑞隆·拉瑞斯安Corellon Larethian 是 魔法的一元之强大神the one Greater God of Magic(很像 密丝特拉Mystra 在泛费伦神祇中的那样),但他允可了魔法神职的分配,因为这强大了席德瑞恩的整体。
MAGIC IS SO STRONG AMONG THE SELDARINE that most elven gods—including their nemeses, the gods of drow—have a certain association with some form of magic. Although Corellon Larethian is the one Greater God of Magic among the Seldarine, much as Mystra is among Faerûnian deities, he allows this distribution of the portfolio of Magic since it strengthens the Seldarine as a whole.

除了那些广为人知的精灵神祇外,还有几位精灵的魔法神存在。他们都没什么名气——有些还正处于失去其在席德瑞恩诸神中的地位的危险中,不过他们能让你的战役变得更为有趣,并将这个神系补完。
In addition to these well-known elven deities, there are several more elven gods of magic. None of them is particularly well known—and some are in danger of losing their status among the Seldarine but they can make your campaign even more interesting and round out the pantheon.
