描述Description：
戈斯星球Glyth 是 诸国度Realms 的晶壁系中的第六行星，是个绝对悲惨的世界。它的空气是如此的浑浊，以至于会让来访者回想起停尸房的味道，或是被大火烧焦的死亡森林的气味。事实上，森林大火确实会经常席卷烧焦这颗行星的表面，焚烧地表上的任何东西。这颗行星的地下居民则控制着哪些森林会被留下。其余森林则被故意烧掉，以限制它们逃窜的牲口可能的藏匿处。
Glyth is the sixth planet in the Realms' solar system, and it is a sad world indeed. The atmosphere is so foul that entering it reminds visitors of a charnel house or a dead forest during a severe fire. In fact, forest fires do regularly sweep across the charred surface of the planet, burning anything that had the opportunity to get a foothold in the soil. What forests do remain are in control of the undergrounddwelling inhabitants of the planet. The rest are purposely burned off to limit the possible hiding places for their runaway cattle.
这颗行星80%都是陆地，另外20%则是由一种神秘的凝胶状物质组成。这种物质含有大量的水，但摸起来和凝胶很像。如果吃下凝胶，它能像水一样安全地满足饮用者的干渴感。这种奇怪凝胶水的优点是不会像普通水一样变成咸水或结冰。
Eighty percent of the planet is land, while the other 20% consists of a mysterious gelatinous substance. This substance contains a large quantity of water, but the feel is similar to gelatin. If this gelatin is eaten, it safely satisfies any thirst as if it were water. The positive thing about this strange gelatinous water is that it never turns brackish like regular water, nor does it freeze.
戈斯星球有一道巨大的行星环，在赤道上方环绕行星运行。在白天，光环看上去就像一团有锐变、形状完美的云。而在夜间，则可在螺旋状的弧线上看见柔软的橙色、红色与蓝色。在白天它也会在行星上投下微弱的阴影。
Glyth has a large ring that orbits the planet at the equator. This beautiful feature can be seen clearly from the planets surface both day and night. During the day, the ring looks similar to a perfectly formed cloud, with sharp edges. During the night, soft oranges, reds, and blues can be seen in its spiraling arcs. It often casts a weak shadow onto the planet during the daytime as well.
环绕戈斯星球的三颗月亮也非常美丽。最大的是颗B类行星体，其余两颗小的则是A类行星体。所有三颗都是球形的，但最小的更为椭圆。这颗卵形的月亮实际上是名为 天堂星Haven 的灵吸怪基地。
The three moons that surround Glyth are very beautiful, too. The largest is a class B planetary body, while the other two are small class A bodies. All three are spherical in shape, but the smallest is more oval. This egg-shaped moon is actually an illithid base known as Haven.
气候Climate：
这颗行星气候温暖，但持续不断的大火几乎摧毁了它的大气层。作为一种自净消除残留烟雾颗粒的途径，大气降水频繁。
The planet is warm, but the continually raging fires have almost destroyed its air envelope. The atmosphere rains frequently as a way to rid itself of the lingering smoke particles.
不过，这些雨水带酸性。若来访者暴露在雨水之中，必须骰一次体质检定，否则将遭受1点伤害。不管在那30小时30分钟中下了多少场雨，该骰每日只需投1次。
These rains are somewhat acidic, though. Whenever a visitor is exposed to the rain, he must roll a Constitution check or suffer one point of damage. This is rolled only once per day, no matter how many times it may have rained during that 30 hour and 30 minute day.
这颗行星的两极就像大多数行星那样被冰覆盖，但那里并无生命。这里的冰、雪都很脏。有位专门研究灵吸怪的贤者曾经来到这，钻进冰里，发现夺心魔在这个星球上只存在了一个世纪左右。
The poles are capped with ice like most planets, but nothing lives there. The ice and snow here is dirty. A sage specializing in illithids once came here, drilled into the ice, and discovered that the resident mind flayers have been on the planet for only a century or so.
凝胶状的海洋出奇的纯净。即便有大气污染和酸性降雨，它们仍然保持着在那些原始景观中也不曾目睹的纯净。有位贤者对这种凝胶进行了测试，发现沉积在其表面的微粒能迅速地被筛到底部。他随后提出了一个理论：任何不幸落在海里的东西事实上都被吸下去了，直到落到所有凝胶下面。
The gelatinous oceans are surprisingly pure. Even with the atmospheric poisoning and the acidic rains, they have maintained a purity not seen even in virgin landscapes. A sage ran tests on the gelatin, and found that particulates deposited on its surface quickly sift through it to the bottom. He then theorized that anything unfortunate enough to land on the seas is actually sucked down, until all the gelatin is sitting above it.
停泊港Ports of Call：
在 明加布星Mingabwe（环绕戈斯星球运行的B型月亮）魔法船种族是受欢迎的，但除此外，在戈斯星球附近就没有可以安全停泊之地。天堂星的灵吸怪在戈斯星球的太空中巡曳，防备入侵者的攻击。
Spelljamming races are welcome at Mingabwe, the Class B moon orbiting Glyth, but otherwise there are no safe places to park a spelljammer near Glyth. The illithids at Haven patrol the Glyth space in case of attack from approaching intruders.
A类行星体 天堂星Haven 是颗被掏空作为灵吸怪派系战争之间中立地带的小行星。其港口由天堂星南极的大洞进入的。在那只有灵吸怪完全受欢迎。其余所有人除非是有极其重要的事项需要磋商，否则可能逃都逃不掉。
Haven, a Class A planetary body, is a hollowed asteroid that is a neutral ground between warring illithid factions. This port is entered by passing through the large hole at Haven s southern pole. Only illithids are completely welcome here. All others must have very important matters to discuss, or they may never escape.
明加布星相当安全，通常被用作太空港。这座停靠港的问题，除了在此定居已超过10年的圣武士 贾斯汀·“行善”·恶魔杀手Justin "Do Good" Demonslayer 外，它完全是空的。除去植物和昆虫，整个月亮上没有另一个活着的灵魂。魔法船可以免费在此停靠，并找到大量的食物，但这些食物船员们必须亲自从植物中采摘。这里也有水，但水量越来越少，植物的生长也因此开始受到影响。
Mingabwe is fairly safe, and often used as a spaceport. The problem with this port of call is that it is completely vacant except for the paladin, Justin "Do Good" Demonslayer, who took residence here over 10 years ago. There is not another living soul on the whole moon, except for the plants and insects. Spelljammers can dock here for free, and there is a great deal of food that can be taken, although the crew must pick it from the plants themselves. There is water here as well, but it is becoming scarce, so plant growth is beginning to suffer.
至于戈斯星球本身，则有几处自然形成的魔法船停靠港。每个船坞都由不同的灵吸怪派系拥有和经营。这些夺心魔对它们的船坞独占欲强烈，以至于它们为了在其它灵吸怪派系面前保护船坞而住在了附近。
On Glyth itself, there are several naturally occurring spelljamming dry docks. Each of these docks is owned and operated by a different illithid faction. These mind flayers are very jealous of their docks, so they live near them in order to protect them from other illithid factions.
在它们的奴隶守卫警告它们有未悬挂正确旗帜的船舶准备停靠时，灵吸怪会派遣它们的奴隶抵御逼近的魔法船。它们不关心这艘船属于朋友还是敌人，而只想确保这艘船没有机会造成任何损坏。
When their slave guards warn them of ships preparing to dock that do not possess the correct flag, the illithids send their slaves up against the approaching spelljammer. Not knowing or caring whether the ship belongs to a friend or foe, they want only to ensure that the ship doesn't get the chance to do any damage.
通常，可以看见对应派系的船只完全没有操纵者、完全孤立地躺在干船坞里。然而，这其实是灵吸怪吸引敌人和逃奴靠近的这里的策略，这样它们就可以捕获并最终将它们吃掉。
Often, factions' ships can be seen lying in the dry docks completely unmanned and alone. The illithids, however, use that tactic to bring enemies and runaway slaves in closer, so they can be captured and eventually eaten.
资源／贸易Resources/Trade：
这个星球对商船而言完全没有用处。因为后者众所周知的名声，很少有类人愿意与灵吸怪打交道。而灵吸怪则与它们自己的同类通商，但它们拒绝与当前的敌对派系交易，即便这意味着与大量财富失之交臂。
This planet is completely useless to trade ships. Very few humanoids willingly deal with the illithids because their reputation is well known. The illithids do trade with others of their own kind, but they refuse to trade with a faction that is their current enemy, even if it means missing out on great wealth.
灵吸怪经常与他人为了尝试繁殖出新品种（全都是为了提升脑子的口感），而交易它们的肉畜——类人。在这许多年间，在通过选择育种艺术，夺心魔取得了烹饪技术上的成功。
The illithids often trade their food cattle—humanoids—to others in order to try out someone else's breeding process, all with a goal of increasing the flavor of the brain. During the years the mind flayers have brought the art of selective breeding to a culinary success.
那些头用牲畜被蓄养在这颗被烧焦星球那些被充作大牧场的残余森林里。灵吸怪们笑着称这些阴森的地方为“头骨地Skull Sod”。类人们被从这个地方到另一个地方、从这座水坑到那座牧场地驱赶来驱赶去；而不断的迁移让他们失去了方向感。这些类人生物得到了很好的照顾——当然，是以家畜的水准而言。
These skull cattle are kept on ranches in what forests remain on this burned-out world. The illithids laughingly call these dismal locations Skull Sod. The humanoids are herded from one location to the next, from this watering hole, to that pasture; the constant moving keeps their sense of direction off. The humanoids are well cared for, as far as herded animal care goes.
在戈斯星球，灵吸怪们在尝试一种与来自行星环上的那些不同的育种技术。当有新类人生物诞生时，他将被安置在一座学校里立即开始学习。这种强迫学习的过程将持续到目标到18岁。
On Glyth, the illithids are trying a different breeding technique from those on the rings. When a new humanoid is born, he is placed in a school where learning begins immediately. This process of forced learning continues until the subject is 18 years of age.
在那时，受试者将被进行测试和测量以评估其大脑总容量。如果他排名在前5%，就有繁殖的权力——这也被用来激励类人生物们学习更多。那些没有被排在前列的受试者，则会被卖给其它灵吸怪作为食物摄取。而排名最低的5%则将被运作牧场的灵吸怪直接杀掉、吞食。
At that point, the subject is tested and measured to assess his total brain capacity. If he is in the top five percent, he is given the right to breed—this is also used as a motivator for the humanoids to learn more. Those not in the top percentage are sold to other illithids for dietary intake. The lowest five percentage are outright killed and devoured by the illithids who run the ranch.
所有这些都确保了只有最聪明的牲畜才能继续生存——这里的类人生物比普通人的感知和智力高上1d4点，直至最大值的20。不幸的是，他们都没能离开牧场，因为在人工繁殖过程中，冒险精神也在他们身上被消除已久。
All of this ensures the continuation of only the smartest cattle—humanoids who are 1d4 intelligence and wisdom points smarter than the average human, to a maximum of 20. Unfortunately, none of them ever make it off the ranch, because the adventuring spirit has been long bred out of them as well.
被赋予繁殖权的类人生物被鼓励尽可能地多生孩子。在丧失生育能力前，这些种人永远不会被作为脑粮出售。与此同时，他们将被教导除可能被用作攻击或逃跑的法术外的一切东西。不幸的是，类人生物从未发现这些夺心魔的真正目的。这些牲畜们相信灵吸怪们是个教师种族，正在让他们为了前往外部世界做好装备。
The humanoids granted breeding rights are encouraged to produce as many children as physically possible. These breeders are never sold as brain food until their abilities to produce are extinguished. All the while, they are taught everything possible, except spells that can be used as a method of attack or escape. The hapless humanoids never discover their real purpose for the mind flayers. The herds believe the illithids are a race of teachers who are preparing them for the outside worlds.
另一种受欢迎的商品是从 托瑞尔星球Toril 偷来的 蜘蛛猴spider monkey。它们生长在赤道附近的森林里。然而，许多蜘蛛猴都最终逃脱了。这使得它们的脑子就像类人脑子一样昂贵。
Another popular commodity is spider monkeys stolen from the jungles of Toril. There are raised in the equatorial forests. Many of the monkeys, however, end up escaping. This makes their brains as expensive as those of humanoids.
灵吸怪也会偶尔与其他魔法船种族交易，但它们似乎只会从邪恶种族那购买奴隶。只要有机会，灵吸怪们就会进行海盗活动，因为它们没有其它机会向灵吸怪贸易交易所注入更多资金。
The illithids do trade with other spelljammers on occasion, but they seem to buy slaves only from evil races. The illithids also pirate whenever they get the opportunity, because they have little other chance to introduce more money into the illithid trade exchange.
幽暗地域之下The Under-underdark：
在地下深处，甚至以灵吸怪的标准而言也很深的地方，住着一群恐怖分子——被称作 自由思想者联盟the Free Thinkers Union 的类人生物。自盟The FTU 偶尔会对灵吸怪控制区发起突袭，以图尽可能找回和救下他们的同胞。
Deep in the ground, deep even by mind flayer standards, lives a group of terrorists—humanoids known as the Free Thinkers Union. The FTU occasionally leads raids into the illithid areas of control, in hopes of retrieving and saving as many of their brethren as possible.
没有自盟成员会害怕死亡。他们意识到无论如何他们都会死在夺心魔手中，而为同胞服务而死则是光荣的牺牲。据信他们现在有数百人，但这只是猜测。但外来人可找不到他们、跟他们交流，因为灵吸怪正处于这颗行星的地表与他们之间。
None of the FTU members are afraid of death. They realize that they would die at the hands of the mind flayers anyway, and dying in the service of one’s fellows is an honorable death. It is believed that they number several hundred now, but that is only speculation. It would be impossible for outsiders to locate or speak with them, because the illithids are between the surface of the planet and them.
他们必须非常成功，因为灵吸怪一直在试图找到他们的位置来消灭他们。
They must be very successful, because the illithids are constantly trying to find their location to exterminate them.

萨里尔Surrell 是太空中灵吸怪种族的顶级育种者之一。他因其选育技术而闻名——他对 奥特林巨脑人oortling 种族 作了改变，以更好地适应夺心魔的烹饪欲。
Surrell is one of the top breeders for the illithid races in space. He is renowned for the selective breeding techniques he used when he altered the oortling races to more suit the mind flayer’s culinary desires.
萨里尔在 戈斯星球Glyth 现存的其中一座森林上进行着他的实验。白天他在地下工作，晚上则在牧场里工作。他是这颗行星上最富有的灵吸怪，因为备受艳羡。他那有12000颗头颅的大牧场向整个晶壁系的富有灵吸怪兜售美味的畜群。他的货物价格很高，但美味到难以置信。因为这种新美味，他甚至在 灰色天宇Greyspace 也为人所知。
Surrell conducts his experiments at a humanoid ranch in one of the surviving forests on Glyth. He works underground during the day, but works at night right on the ranch. He is by far the richest illithid on the planet, and therefore the most envied. His 12,000-skull ranch sells delicious oortling herds to richer illithids throughout the system. His prices are high, but the taste is unbelievable. He is even known in Greyspace because of this new delicacy.

贾斯汀·恶魔杀手Justin Demonslayer 出生于被称作 卡拉汉星球Caralhon 的无名行星。在约30年前，他加入了一艘海盗船，最终来到了 国度天宇Realmspace。夺心魔突然抓住了他，把他丢进了灵吸怪的畜群。他很快发现了一位美丽的女士、并坠入了爱河。
Justin Demonslayer was born on an unknown planet called Caralhon. He joined a pirate ship almost 30 years ago and ended up here in Realmspace. He pirated wildspace until he came to Glyth. The mind flayers abruptly captured him and threw him in with the rest of the illithid's cattle. He soon found a beautiful lady and fell in love.
在灵吸怪发现后，两人都被赶出了畜群。夺心魔计划杀死他们俩，但当一只灵吸怪抓住贾斯汀的时候，真正的奇迹发生了。贾斯汀的大脑存在一种化学失衡，是由腺体畸形导致的。当灵吸怪贪婪的触手把这个腺体吸出来时，这只夺心魔中毒身亡了。就在那时，它停止了进食，并在几分钟后就死了。
When the illithids found out, both humans were to be taken out of the herds. The mind flayer planned to kill them both, but when an illithid grabbed onto Justin, a true miracle occurred. Justin’s brain had a chemical imbalance, caused by a deformed gland. When the illithids hungry tentacles sucked this gland out, the mind flayer became fatally poisoned. It stopped feasting at that point, and died within minutes.
贾斯汀在恢复正常意识状态后立即逃走了。他爬上了行星的地表等待他头上的伤痊愈。不久后，一艘载有精灵的船只在这颗行星着陆了。贾斯汀冲到了船上，警告他们潜伏在地下、即将降临的厄运，精灵们立即带着贾斯汀离开了。
Justin escaped once he regained his normal state of consciousness. He climbed to the surface of the planet to wait for his head to heal. Soon, a ship carrying elves landed on the planet. Rushing to the ship, Justin warned them of the impending doom lurking underground, and the elves promptly left, taking Justin with them.
在抵达 明加布星Mingabwe（戈斯星球的一颗月亮）后，精灵们放下了贾斯汀，直至今日他还在那，头脑已经恢复了清醒。他已帮助了许多商人安全通过荒宇。
After reaching Mingabwe, a moon of Glyth, the elves dropped Justin off, where he has been ever since, his mind now clear. He has helped many merchants pass through wildspace safely.
