简介
梅瑞达Meriadar 是混种人之神。
2e<MMy.p056>梅瑞达Meriadar（中等神Intermediate God）
梅瑞达Meriadar 是位耐心、忍耐和宽容之神。如同他的子民——混种人mongrelmen，他来源自许多种族，并经常被其他种族压迫，他们蓄意地误解甚至是蔑弃他们，梅瑞达不得不承受着许多类地精神明的敌意。为了他关心的领域——即那些没有被不可挽回地被引向邪恶的类地精，他被迫放弃了亚人和人类善良阵营诸神的帮助，因为与类地精生物们仇敌的神明们的任何良好关系，都将疏远那些他想拥入怀抱者。
Meriadar is a god of patience，long-suffering，and tolerance. As his people，the mongrelmen，are drawn from many races and are frequently oppressed by others who willfully misunderstand and even despise them，Meriadar has had to suffer the enmity of many goblinoid gods. He has been forced to spurn the help of good-aligned gods of demihumanity and humans，for his sphere of concern is those goblinoids who are not irrevocably drawn to evil，and any affinity with the gods of their enemies would alienate those he seeks to bring into his fold.
梅瑞达是位寻求和平解决冲突的神明，但他不擅于处置混乱，并且对熊地精诸神怀有一种憎恨。他尤其重视吸引熊地精为他服务。虽然梅瑞达是和平的，但他将以“被动的力量”来反对过度侵略的行动；他强有力且非常聪明地使用保护性和结界法术。
Meriadar is a god who seeks peaceful solutions to conflicts，but he is not well-disposed to chaos，and he has an antipathy for the bugbear gods. He especially prizes bugbears drawn to his service. While Meriadar is peaceful，he will oppose over- aggressive actions with "passive force"；he uses protective and warding spells powerfully and very intelligently.
梅瑞达将艺术与工艺的实践作为探索和平的一种重要途径加以鼓励。那些尊重彼此创造力与技能的人，不太可能拿起武器对着彼此，而不同种族也从彼此的技能中学习了某些东西。他的徽记——装饰碗，它是一种工艺品，而在它的装饰上又是一种艺术品，并且被用来圣典的宴会和食物的分享。因为食物对生命不可或缺，所有那些分享了梅瑞达餐具来进食者，参与进了一种对生命的基本分享；所以他们如何能谋求致彼此于死地？
Meriadar espouses the practicality of arts and crafts as an important avenue for exploring peacefulness. Those who respect each others creativity and skill are unlikely to take up arms against each other，and different races have something to learn from each others' skills. His symbol，the decorated bowl，is both a craft and an art in its decoration，and it is used for sacramental feasting and the sharing of food. Since food is indispensable to life，those who share from Meriadar's dish to eat participate in a basic sharing of life；so how can they strive to bring each other death?
梅瑞达的混种人祭司和萨满们利用这徽记和它的品质，来作为他们的神明与他们的宗教的模范象征。它也为他们的哲学关注提供了踏板；混种人祭司们辩论着“永恒的现在”的品质，将它作为维持生计的行为在精神上的相似之处的起源，辩论着作为最基本的俗世驱动力即时性（和“当下”）——饥饿。尽管守序中立有时有着令人窒息的品质，但祭司们关注着一些微妙的精神与哲学问题，而梅瑞达微笑以对。
Meriadar's mongrelman priests and shamans use this symbol and its practical qualities as an exemplary attribute of their god and their religion. It also serves as a springboard for their philosophical concerns；mongrelman priests debate the quality of the "eternal now" as having its origins in spiritual parallels to the act of drawing sustenance，and the immediacy （and "nowness"）of the most basic earthly drive，that of hunger. Despite the sometimes stifling quality of lawful neutrality，the priests concern themselves with some subtle spiritual and philosophical questions，and Meriadar smiles on this.
角色扮演指南Role-playing Notes：
梅瑞达的教派是独特的，任何类地精和亚人种族都能成为专属祭司，并且可以达到与混种人相同的最大经验值等级水平。当然，这样的祭司非常罕见并且通常是被从他们自己的种族中放逐者，但梅瑞达对于怀着类似思想的生物的普遍吸引力，确保了这个教派在许多世界奉献者越来越多。
Role-playing Notes：Meriadar's cult is unique in that any goblinoid or demihuman race can become a specialty priest and attain the same maximum experience level as that of mongrelmen. Of course，such priests are very rare，and usually exiles from their own race，but Meriadar's universal appeal to like- minded creatures ensure that this cult has a growing number of devotees in many worlds.
这位神祇通常是位和平主义者，为防御性目的而派遣化身。梅瑞达从不准备眼睁睁地看着整个混种人社区被消灭，不过忍耐之神关于自己和其教派方面的品质，让他能将对混种人的压迫视为通向更高层次精神领悟的道路。虽然如此，但他的化身在面临危险时仍然是强有力的。
The deity himself is usually pacifistic and sends avatars for defensive purposes. Meriadar is never prepared to see mongrelmen wiped out as whole communities，although there is a quality of suffering-god about him and his cult which allows him to see oppression of mongrelmen as a road to higher spiritual understanding. His avatars are nonetheless forceful when confronted.
来自这位神明的兆示被频繁分派。它们可能使用以下形式：在哲学辩论时，无意识的发言和以方言说话；突然的艺术灵感和无意识的绘画与雕刻；装着汤的碗中，气泡释放出的烟雾形成象征意味的景象；奇怪的气味提醒混种人迫在眉睫的威胁。
Omens from the god are frequently dispatched. They may take the form of automatic speech and speaking in tongues during philosophical debates，sudden artistic inspirations and auto-matic drawing and sculpting，bubblings in bowls of soup which release smoky vaporous symbolic images，and strange scents which alert mongrelmen to imminent danger.
[译注：automatic speech，auto-matic drawing and sculpting——指与本人意志无关，自发地说出不是自己的话或者写出不是自己意愿的内容的现象，在20世纪的人体特异功能研究中常见。究其实际只是脑洞太大抽抽了的表现之一。]

梅瑞达的化身Meriadar's Avatar
（祭司Priest 16）
梅瑞达的化身有着一种可变的外观：在他需要这样做时，他能展现为任何类地精种族的高挑人物，不过他的典型外观是一位掺入了许多种族特征的混种人。他总是简单地穿着朴素的棕色长袍。他使用来自任何祭司领域的法术（从不会使用逆向版本）。

祭职者的职责Duties of the Priesthood
梅瑞达的祭司宣扬和平，但他们也保卫混种人社区。他们是和平的，但当受到暴力威胁时不会不抵抗。他们是“和平主义”的生物，指导选取酋长和制定“社会”政策。他们支持等级制度、法律和已有领导人——除非这些是不公正的。他们宣扬要容忍类地精和其他种族，所有生灵都有他们的位置，都为一个有序的社会、有序的世界需要。
Meriadar's priests preach peace，but they also defend mongrelman communities. They are peaceful，but not pacifistic when threatened with force. They are "political" creatures，directed to get close to chiefs and determine "social" policy. They support hierarchies，laws，and established leaders unless these are grossly unjust. They preach the need to tolerate goblinods and other races，that all living things have their place，and the need for an ordered society and an ordered world.
