2e<Monster Mythology.p097>前言Introduction

　　在諸世界的爬行動物和兩棲動物神明中，存在一個強大的核心集團，這是一群亙古不變的原始神力，在神話中祂們屹於其它造物之外。祂們既不與其他種族的神明產生聯繫，也並不創造世界或是大規模改造世界；祂們是、也僅僅是祂們自己罷了。這便是為什麼相較於其祂大部分神明，祂們對自己的冷血崇拜者往往更為冷漠疏遠，對變化的反應通常也非常緩慢、遲鈍——甚至能遷延數十年乃至數個世紀。這更進一步導致祂們的族群通常處於一種緩慢而殘酷的衰落境地，寇濤魚人的處境便是個典型案例。
The gods of the reptilian and amphibious creatures of the worlds include a powerful central group who, in myth, stand outside the rest of creation. These deities are seen as ancient to the point of timeless, primeval powers. They are not associated with the gods of other races, they do not create worlds or modify them much; they simply have their being unto themselves. This tends to make them more aloof from their cold-blooded worshipers than most gods, and they are usually slow to react to changes, even across decades and centuries. One consequence of this is that their races are often in a process of slow but remorseless decline, the kuo-toa being an excellent example.

　　這些神祇通常極富智慧，尤其通曉那些非常古老、業已被埋葬的魔法知識。在祂們的本質中往往蘊含着強大的魔力，但祂們選擇保守着自己的秘密並保持緘默。
These deities are usually regarded as being very wise, especially in their knowledge of very ancient and buried magic. They are often intensely magical in nature themselves, but they conceal their secrets and remain silent.

　　這個核心集團主要包含兩組共四位神祇。蛇人之神 麥爾紹克Merrshaulk 與 寇濤魚人女神 布里博杜普Blibdoolpoolp 都是沒落種族的神明，祂們非常怠惰和冷漠。麥爾紹克被隔絕於深眠之處，甚至極少喚醒自己為 主物質位面Prime Material 的事務操心；寇濤魚人女神則被自己的隱秘王國的包圍了，對外界的一切她深感憎惡。
This core group contains primarily four deities who form two pairs. Merrshaulk, god of the yuan-ti, and Blibdoolpoolp, the kuo-toan goddess, are both gods of declining races who are, themselves, fairly inactive and somewhat uncaring. Merrshaulk is detached to the point of deep hibernation, rarely even waking to bother itself with the affairs of the Prime Material, whereas the kuo-toan goddess envelops herself within her secluded realm, hating everything outside it.

　　另一對則相當有趣，因為祂們都是多面相的神明。九面巨龍the Ninefold Dragon 埃歐Io 包含了一切的陣營，被巨龍們視為萬物、包括虵們自己的偉大造物主。巨龍們對這個觀點非常敏感。凡物巨龍們認為，就像自己已發明並設計了一切有價值或有意義事物，是埃歐創造了多元宇宙的一切，並以慈悲的恩典允許「不太重要的存在們」（其祂強大神）在之後登場表演、對他的造物進行修改。建議你不要與巨龍們就此發生爭論。
The other pair is intriguing because the two deities are multi-aspected gods. Io, the Ninefold Dragon, contains within himself all alignments and is seen by dragons as the great creator of all things, including themselves. Dragons are very touchy about this. Just as mortal dragons consider that they have invented and devised just about anything and everything of any value or significance, so they hold Io to have created all of the multiverse and to have had the grace to permit "less important beings" (other greater gods) to play with and modify his creation subsequently. Dragons should not be argued with on this point.

　　納迦女王 雪金尼斯特Shekinester 是位三面女神，有着守序善良、混亂邪惡和絕對中立的面相。她以少女、老婦與成年女性的形態神臨。納迦女神是條智慧的巨蛇，她在自己的 光之廷Court of Light 的廳堂上着，就像埃歐一樣，她是實用性智慧的具現。
Shekinester, the naga queen, is a triple-aspect goddess with aspects of lawful good, chaotic evil and pure neutrality. She appears in the form of a maiden, a crone, and a mature female. Coiled within the halls of her Court of Light, the naga goddess is the embodiment of practical wisdom, a great wise serpent as is Io himself.

　　羽蛇神 潔芮恩Jazirian 也與這個核心集團關係密切，不過羽蛇們非常晦澀地認為：潔芮恩是存在於 寰宇巨蛇World Serpent 其祂不完美體中的、原型的完美體；這是埃歐和雪金尼斯特所共同反應的主題的變體：存在的多樣性。因此，那些非常古老的爬行動物神有着與祂們宏偉年齡與偉大智慧相似的複雜性。有時候，有些其祂神祇也被與祂們歸為一體：死亡巨龍the Death Dragon 庫若尼普斯Chronepsis 掌管着時間、命運和永恆的秩序。庫羅尼普斯從不開口、或是與其祂存在溝通，如果他知曉萬物的終結，也從未吐露分毫。在某些龍類神話中，這位沉默的神祇被視作埃歐的存在在多個世界的絕對平衡的延伸的投影之疊加。正如埃歐化作了萬物，庫羅尼普斯將一切吸納進了自身。有時候，這兩位存在被（恰如其分地）視作兄弟，共同以一個非常複雜的符號表示，在它的中心是一頭有着九叉之尾的九頭巨龍，每個頭都在吞咽一條尾巴。
Jazirian, the couatl god, also has an affinity with this central group, although couatl think of him in very subtle terms as a perfection of an archetype which exists in other, less perfect, World Serpent forms; this is a variation on the same theme which Io and Shekinester represent：that of multiplicity of being. Thus, these very ancient reptile gods have a complexity which parallels their great age and wisdom. The other deity sometimes bracketed with them is singular: Chronepsis, the Death Dragon, presider over time, fate, and eternal law. Chronepsis never speaks or communicates, and if he knows the end of all things, he isn't telling. This mute god is seen in some draconic myths as a re-enfolding which mirrors Io's perfectly balanced extension of being into the worlds. Just as Io has become all things, Chronepsis draws everything back into himself. Sometimes, fittingly, these two are seen as brothers and represented together in a very complex symbol which has at its center the image of a nine-headed dragon with a ninefold-forked tail, each head swallowing a tail.

　　埃歐和雪金尼斯特都有僕神——與自己性別相異的熊孩子，這些孩子們都生性好玩、任性，有時會願意讓凡人一窺祂們的強大父母所小心守護的秘密。艾歐的女兒 阿絲忒瑞娜Aasterinian 混亂、輕浮、好玩、愛笑，在她身上沒有其強大父親的任何莊嚴特質。她擔任着埃歐的信使，但在這方面她並不很可靠，很容易從他賦予她的任務上分心。在神話中，她沒有母親，是直接從埃歐的存在中以一種極度複雜的方式直接誕生的，這種方式涉及了許多 九面之父the Ninefold father 的思維反芻與象徵思考；這段神話令人困惑，並且只以不完整的形式存在於巨龍之中（他們無論如何都不會多談它），並且在各個世界之間也有不一致的地方。
Both Io and Shekinester have servitor deities, errant children of the opposite sex who are playful, wayward, and sometimes willing to allow mortals a peek into the secrets their powerful parents guard carefully. Io's daughter Aasterinian is chaotic, flighty, playful and laughing, and has nothing of the gravity of her mighty father. She serves Io as a messenger, but not a very reliable one, and is readily distracted from any tasks he gives her. In myth, she has no mother and is born direct from Io's being in a highly complex manner involving many ruminations and symbolic ponderings by the Ninefold father; this mythology is confusing and exists only in partial forms among dragons (who don't talk much about it, anyway) and is also inconsistent from world to world.

　　雪金尼斯特之子 帕拉法爾Parrafaire 也是有着輕躍靈魂的類似存在。雖然他也是位欺詐者，但比那位年輕的巨龍女神，他更為體貼和睿智。就像他的母親，帕拉法爾也是秘密和隱匿智慧的保護者，不過他的母親守護的是她自己的秘密，帕拉法爾所守護的秘密卻是他人的。不過，相較於阿絲忒瑞娜，他的本性更為貼近自己的父母，而且他有自己的同性別父親——在納迦神話中通常是 潔芮恩Jazirian，儘管這條羽蛇有着雌雄同體的本質（這並不代表在納迦神話中，納迦看見的是潔芮恩的男性面相）。
Shekinester's son Parrafaire is likewise a being with a light spirit. He is a trickster also, but he is more thoughtful and wise than the young dragon goddess. Parrafaire is a protector of secrets and concealed wisdom, a guardian as his mother is, but those secrets are not of his own being as his mother’s are. Still, he is clearly closer in nature to his parent than Aasterinian and he also has a same-sex parent, usually Jazirian in naga mythology, despite the couatl's hermaphroditic nature (which is not represented in naga mythology, nagas seeing Jazirian in his male aspect).

　　儘管祂們的輕率與輕浮導致與祂們的會面可能蘊含着危險，但阿絲忒瑞娜和帕拉法爾的天性並不邪惡，而是混沌而中立。實際上，所有那些強大的爬蟲類神明，沒有一位從屬善良陣營。古神 布里博杜普Blibdoolpoolp 和 麥爾紹克Merrshaulk 都是邪惡的，而其餘幾位則是多陣營的存在。祂們中沒有哪位認為善良的美德值得尊敬，祂們中也沒有哪位以此為目標。祂們要麼鄙棄善良，要麼是更偉大的自然平衡的一部分。
Both Aasterinian and Parrafaire are chaotic neutral in nature, however, and despite their lightness and levity, meetings with them can be dangerous. Indeed, of all these powerful reptile gods, none is good aligned. The old gods, Blibdoolpoolp and Merrshaulk, are evil while the others are poly-aligned. None of them regards the virtues of good as worthy of primary respect, nor as goals in themselves. They are either despised or are part of a greater balance of nature.

　　那些神的化身有着某些使祂們與眾不同的共同特徵。祂們、尤其是那些巨龍和納迦神的化身，全都擁有高超的魔抗，這反映了那些族群（以及那些造物的神）的魔法本質。祂們也有着超常的感知值（這與這些神祇異常的古老正相契合），以及相關的特質（例如免疫幻術——在任何情況下，其對爬行動物心智的影響都非常不同）。無論顯現這些化身的神明力量水平如何，這些特質都普遍存在；即便是那些半神的化身，也有着相對較高的魔抗和感知。
The avatars of these gods have certain features in common which make them distinctive. They all have high magic resistance, especially the avatars of the dragon and naga gods, reflective of the intensely magical nature of these creatures (and of the creations of these gods). They also have exceptional Wisdom scores, befitting very ancient deities, and related properties (such as immunity to illusions, which affect reptilian minds very differently in any event). These qualities are present irrespective of the strength of the god which manifests the avatar; even a demigod avatar from this group will have relatively high MR and Wisdom.

埃歐的子孫Io's Children

　　除了 阿絲忒瑞娜Aasterinian，埃歐Io 還在諸世界產下了一系列巨龍半神。許多當地神系都有這樣的元素力量（通常是白龍和紅龍半神）、魔法（金/銀龍半神）、欺詐者（罕見，因為阿絲忒瑞娜已經扮演了這個角色，但在某些神系中存在着混亂善良半神）以及其它半神。那些半神都沒有祭司或是薩滿，實際上，所有巨龍神祇都沒有這樣的祭職者；埃歐賦予了他的造物們如此強大的肉體力量和魔法天賦，所以他不覺得會需要祭職者（許多巨龍都能在任何情況下使用祭司法術）。
Beside Aasterinian, Io has spawned a series of draconic demigods across the worlds. Many local pantheons have such demigods, of elemental forces (white and red dragon demigods are common), magic (gold/silver draconic demigods), tricksters (rare, since Aasterinian often has this role, but chaotic good demigods are present in some pantheons), and more. None of these demigods have priests or shamans and none of the draconic deities do; Io has empowered his creations with such physical strength and magical nature that he does not see any place for priesthoods (and many dragons can use priest spells in any event).

　　那些次級半神大多並非值得我們關心的典型神明，但有三位九面巨龍的子嗣的重要程度值得尊敬。巴哈姆特Bahamut，光輝燦爛的白金巨龍，他是金龍與銀龍之主，也是一位守序善良價值的強有力維護者。他體現了其父的某些超然特質，不急於直接捲入到主物質位面的事務中去，但不同於埃歐，他看顧並激勵着他的崇拜者們。在某些世界中，巴哈姆特甚至有一撮人類和亞人崇拜者，而在人類的神話中，他常常看顧着異常高貴的聖武士。
These minor demigods are of no concern to us as archetypal gods, but three other children of the Ninefold Dragon, all born of his own being, are important enough to be considered. Bahamut, the glorious and resplendent platinum dragon, is lord of gold and silver dragons and a powerful upholder of the values of lawful good. He has something of his parent's detachment and is not eager to involve himself directly in the affairs of the Prime Material, but unlike Io he is watchful and encourages his worshipers. Bahamut even has a handful of human and demihuman worshipers in some worlds, and in human myth, he often keeps a special watch over paladins of exceptional nobility.

　　他守序而邪惡的姐妹 提亞瑪特Tiamat 則是頭完全不同的生物。她是埃歐體內最有組織、最強大之邪惡的具現，是作為埃歐善良最美好的、近乎完美的具現巴哈姆特的黑暗鏡像。提亞瑪特定居在 地獄the Hells 中，並享受着在那裏的生活，因為這頭惡毒的畜生感興趣的一切在這都可以找到；她昂首闊步，宣稱自己是所有邪龍的造物主。因為長時間呆在主物質面，所以她常被認為棲息在主物質世界，在那裏時她被視作一位掠奪者（但也會作為一頭魔力強大的生物，甚至因為其多產的特性而被標記以多產的面相）。在那之後，她退回到了地獄，而許多種族都有講述關於她如何被流放的神話。然而，在不同的神話中，將其放逐的神有所不同。大部分神話說，在放逐提亞瑪特過程中，巴哈姆特得到了某位天空/太陽神的協助，但具體為哪位神明在不同世界有所不同。
Tiamat, his lawful evil sister, is a different creature altogether. She is an embodiment of the most organized and powerful evil within Io, mirroring Bahamut, who is a near-perfect actualization of the best of Io's goodness. Tiamat has taken up residence in the Hells and enjoys life there inasmuch as this vicious brute can be said to enjoy anything; she struts about, proclaiming herself the creator of all evil dragons. She is often seen as having dwelt for a long time on the Prime Material, and her time there is marked by a role as a despoiler (but also as a creature powerful in magic and even with a fertility aspect due to her fecund nature). After this time, she withdrew to the Hells, and many races have a myth which tells of her banishment. Different myths, though, have many different gods responsible for this banishment. Bahamut is assisted by a sky/sun god in banishing Tiamat, but this is a different god from world to world for the most part.

　　在某種程度上，黑夜巨龍the Night Dragon 法拉祖爾Faluzure 是埃歐偉大巢群中最危險、最殘忍的成員。這頭陰影與幻術的英俊巨龍有一身極其美麗的純黑與深藍鱗片，他是一位卓越而有才華的偽裝大師，他在推進自己計謀的同時，並沒有提亞瑪特的魯莽莽撞。法拉祖爾有一套複雜的魔法新陳代謝，因為他的美麗與完美需要其食糧的不斷死亡來維持，這些被他殺死的生物的軀殼將成為這頭巨龍的不死生物隨從。法拉祖爾對其他種族的事務的密切程度，遠甚於其祂任何巨龍神明——為了自己的食糧而竊取他們擁有的生命與靈魂。
Faluzure, the Night Dragon, is in some ways the most dangerous and sinister of Io's great broods. Gravely beautiful in his perfect black and deep-blue scales, the handsome dragon of shadows and illusion is a brilliant, gifted master of disguise who keeps his own counsels and has not the recklessness of Tiamat. Faluzure has a complex magical metabolism, for his own beauty and perfection require a constant stream of death for their sustenance while the shells of the creatures he slays become the undead creatures the dragon has for an entourage. Much more than any other dragon god, Faluzure has become intimately involved in the affairs of other races—providing they have lives and souls to steal for his own sustenance.

　　法拉祖爾是一團演進中的邪惡，他發展了更多與不死相關的異能（如能量吸取、腐爛病等等），他的生命力量完全依賴於他人的死亡。有許多賢者的故事講述了神明與凡人的生命力和力量的關係，但沒有哪個如法拉祖爾對世界與靈魂的榨取那麼可怕。在這頭光滑整潔、永遠在微笑的黑夜巨龍中，埃歐誕下了一團真實可怕的美麗。
Faluzure is an evolving evil, one developing more powers related to undeath (energy draining, rotting disease, and the like), one whose life force is entirely dependent on the death of others. There are many stories told by sages of the interrelating of the life forces and strength of gods and mortals, but nothing as dreadful as Faluzure's leeching of worlds and souls. Io gave birth to a truly terrifying beauty in the sleek and ever-smiling Night Dragon.

龍族化身Draconic Avatars

　　要注意，這是一群非常可怕的傢伙！不要忘了，除了列出的額外能力外，祂們還擁有對應品種太古龍的全部特殊能力，並且隨意使用，祂們還能 變形自我polymorph self（巴哈姆特和法拉祖爾尤其喜歡如此。）
Be warned that these are truly terrifying! Don't forget that they have all special abilities of Great Wyrms of the appropriate kind in addition to the extra abilities listed, and they can polymorph self at will (Bahamut and Faluzure favor this in particular).

弱等神The Lesser Gods

　　其祂的兩棲和爬行動物神並非一個強大群體。祂們大多要麼不問世事、不涉是非，要麼生命力正在衰退之中。蜥蜴人神 塞繆安亞Semuanya 正是這樣一位冷漠、冰冷、漠不關心的存在，他的唯一動機便是為了生存、而去生存，這種幾乎毫無目的性的狀態，無疑需要對蜥蜴人種族的衰退擔負責任。就像那些已滲透進其祂神系的塔納厘同儕，有位塔納厘領主已在 蜥蜴王Lizard Kings（虵們支配了相當多拒絕被其他種族排擠到角落的蜥蜴人社群）中培養了自己的影響力。許多頭腦簡單、在塞繆安亞（以及他的薩滿們）的舊路上只看到了軟弱的蜥蜴人，已被 塞斯伊奈克Sess』innek　 謊言中的甜言蜜語和惡毒的力量與異能毒化。塞斯伊奈克實際上已有自己的薩滿，有證據顯示這種力量正在這個千紀急劇上升。若塞繆安亞的唯一目的便是生存，這個目標將因自己的無意義而終止。
The other reptilian and amphibious gods are not a powerful group. They mostly share the qualities of being uncaring, uninvolved, or being in a state of relentless decline in their force of being. Thus, Semuanya, the lizard man god, is an aloof, cold, uncaring creature whose sole purpose is survival for its own sake, and this almost meaningless state of being is surely responsible for the decline of the lizard man race. Just as powerful tanar'ri have infiltrated other pantheons, so a tanarri lord has grown in influence among the Lizard Kings which dominate so many of those lizard man communities that have resisted being swept aside by other races. Sess』innek　's honeyed tongue of lies and vicious strength and power intoxicates many of the simple lizardmen who see only weakness in the old ways of Semuanyas shamans. Sess』innek　 actually has shamans of his own, evidence of a dramatic rise in strength of this power over the milennia. If Semuanya's only goal is to survive, it is a goal which is expiring from its own meaninglessness.

　　類似的，戰蜥人的 勞格茲得Laogzed 和狂蛙人的奇異蛙神 拉曼諾斯Ramenos 都似乎都只是為了忍耐而在忍耐。而祂們的存在確實是微弱而無力。勞格茲得僅僅是只龐大、笨拙的蜥蜴，吞食着一切能塞進那張淌着口水的嘴裏的東西，以此維持這具臭氣熏天的軀體。拉曼諾斯大部分時間都在冬眠，甚至對自己的命運也難以維持關注；這位曾經活躍而強大的可憐神祇，清楚無疑地處在自我毀滅的進程之中。
Likewise, Laogzed of the troglodytes and Ramenos, the bizarre frog-god of the bullywugs, are gods which simply seem to endure for the sake of endurance alone. And their existences are feeble indeed. Laogzed is simply a huge, lumbering lizard that eats anything it can cram into its slavering maw, to sustain the stinking body it drags about. Ramenos hibernates for much of the time, barely able even to sustain attention on its own fate; once active and strong, the wretched deity is clearly in a process of self-extinction.

　　確切的說，這些神明被公認幾乎沒什麼創造能力。塞繆安亞是唯一的例外：這位神創造了蜥蜴人，但並非他創造的、混亂邪惡的蜥蜴王的出現，讓他的造物出現了缺陷。很可能是 塞斯伊奈克Sess』innek　 以魔法將普通或高等蜥蜴人變形為了最初的蜥蜴王，因為其他種族最早中最早對蜥蜴人有所涉及的諸多早期故事與傳說，並未提及強大、統治着的王們，所以他們可能是新近誕生的。假若是勞格茲得和拉曼諾斯創造了祂們各自的奴才種族，那之後戰蜥人和狂蛙人也沒有關於這場創造的神話。在最好的情況下，這些種族也只有最原始的創世神話，並對他們狹隘的環境和生活外的一切毫不關心。
Fittingly, these gods are accredited with almost nothing in the way of creative powers. Semuanya is the only exception, a god who created the lizard men, but his creation is flawed by the appearance of the chaotic evil Lizard Kings which were not of his making. It may well be that Sess』innek magically changed ordinary or advanced lizard men into the first Lizard Kings, for many early tales and legends, which other races have of lizard men in earliest times, do not speak of the powerful and dominating Kings, so their origin may be fairly recent. If Laogzed or Ramenos created their vassal races, then troglodytes and bullywugs have no myths about this. They have only the most primitive creation myths in any event, and in both cases they entirely ignore anything outside of their own limited environments and lives.

　　最後，在下列的諸神中，將首先描述非龍族神祇，那些巨龍神祇將以單獨的順序呈現。
Finally, in the listing of gods below, the non-draconic deities are described first, and those of the dragons are presented in a separate ordering.
