群星中的宗教Religion in the Stars
牧师和专属祭司们往往会因恐惧失去施法能力而担心进入 荒宇wildspace。其实对这点无需再有疑问。当然,当牧师或是祭司进入太空时,他们神明的神力的确会发生一些改变,但多数时候,这些改变还没到让角色感到沮丧的地步。
Clerics and specialty priests tend to worry about heading into wildspace because they fear the loss of their spell casting abilities. There no longer need be any doubt. Granted, when a cleric or priest heads in space, some of the powers of their gods do change, but for the most part, the changes are not drastic enough to warrant any frustration from the character.
有些改变是积极的,但偶尔,神力可能会有所削弱、乃至消失——尤其是在祭司们进入 燃素海the phlogiston、与其神明失去一切接触的时候。在进入到晶壁系中时,某一角色是否会与他的神明完全而彻底的分离?接下来的章节将详述:魔法船牧师与专属祭司在荒宇中时,诸神与他们的关系、以及诸神本身。
Often these changes are positive, but occasionally, the powers can wane somewhat, or even disappear, especially when the priest heads out into the phlogiston and loses all touch with his god. Is there ever a complete and total separation between god and character while inside the crystal sphere? This next chapter describes the gods and their relationships with spelljamming clerics and specialty priests while in wildspace.

欧格玛Oghma 的祭司往往不会去任职魔法船舵手工作。他们更喜欢骑行去探索 国度天宇晶壁系the Realmspace sphere、燃素海the phlogiston 和其他地方的未知之处。他们能在燃素海中使用法术,但在进入另一个晶壁系前,他们不能获得新法术。在进入新晶壁系后,只要在当地学习到一些东西进而增益该宗教所有成员的知识库,他们就能获得自己的全部法术分配。
The priests of Oghma tend not to hire themselves out as spelljamming helmsmen. They prefer to ride about to explore the unknowns in the Realmspace sphere, the phlogiston, and beyond. They are able to use spells while in the phlogiston, but they cannot gain new ones until another sphere is entered. At that time, they are able to gain their full allotments of spells, as long the priest is thereto learn something which increases the knowledge available to all members of the religion.

欧格玛Oghma(读作“欧格-玛OGG-mah”)是 费伦大陆Faerûn 最强力的知识之神。正如前代密斯特拉据说对每一个法术都进行评判,欧格玛据说(也)决定一个新的想法是否出现在这个世界上或是被局限于它的创作者。迪尼尔Deneir 和 密里耳Milil 都作为欧格玛的代言人活动,向他和那些被欧格玛宠爱的人带来新的信息。他与工匠之神,“奇迹使者”贡德Gond Wonderbringer 关系很好,后者通过给予想法以表现形式为他服务着,但是他们的关系有时会因为贡德倾向于在 费伦大陆Faerûn 迅速的引入新设备而变得紧张。在 都帕Durpar、依斯塔刚德Estagund 和 黄金瓦尔Var the Golden,欧格玛作为 阿达玛之道adama 的一部分被信仰着,那是杜帕文化中一种包含并包容了是众生的一部分的神圣本质的上帝的概念。这里他被称为 智慧女神goddess of wisdom 柯娜Curna。
Oghma (OGG-mah) is the most powerful god of knowledge in Faerûn. Much as Mystra of old was said to sit in judgment of each new spell, Oghma is said to decide whether a new idea would be known to the world or confined to its originator. Deneir and Milil both act as intercessors for Oghma, carrying new information both to him and to those whom Oghma favors. He is on good relations with the artificer god, Gond Wonderbringer, who serves him by giving ideas manifest form, but their relationship has sometimes become tense due to Gond's proclivity to press for the rapid introduction of new devices throughout Faerûn. In Durpar, Estagund, and Var the Golden, Oghma is worshiped as part of the Adama, the Durparian concept of a world spirit that embraces and enfolds the divine essence that is part of all beings. Here he is known as Curna, goddess of wisdom.
欧格玛是位开朗而智慧的神灵,他有无尽的能力去说服他人去践行他的观点。他可以是庄严公正的,但他更经常是十分(译注1)幽默而很快的微笑。他的一个缺点也许是他喜欢自己想想就好了;他倾向于实施他首先在自己的头脑中想出的复杂的谋划而非采取直接的行动。
Oghma is a cheerful and wise power whose ability to persuade others to his point of view he puts to endless use. He can be solemn and righteous, but he is more often quietly humorous and quick to smile. His one flaw may be his fondness for his own thoughts; he tends to implement rather convoluted plots that he has worked out first in his own mind rather than to take direct action.
(译注1:个人认为这里应该是原文多打了一个e,原文是安静地)。
欧格玛的化身Oghma's Avatar
(吟游诗人Bard 40,巫师Mage 23,战士Fighter 20)
欧格玛很少被看到,但众所周知会以一位深色皮肤的英俊男子,穿着明亮,豪华,潇洒的带着突出的装饰肩章的骑士无袖短袍,一个上面的圆形扣画着一副精美风景画的装饰华丽的腰带,以及一双鞋面末端是晶莹的、垂下来几乎能碰到抬起的脚趾的泪珠状水晶的网眼尖头靴的形象出现,并且通常会带着一把雪白色的木制吉他。非常少见的,欧格玛还会以一位巨大的、投掷魔法的老人出现,他飞行着的身体完全被他又长又乱的头发与胡子遮盖。他使用来自任何法师学派的魔法。他的预言系和防护系法术在所有方面的效果都是普通法术的三倍,如果允许豁免检定的话,它们的目标会受到-3惩罚。
Oghma is rarely seen, but has been known to appear as a dark-skinned, handsome man in bright, grand, stylish clothing typically including a tabard with projecting, ornamented shoulder plates, a cummerbund that bears a painted scene of exquisite beauty on its medallion-shaped buckle, and openmeshwork, point-toed boots whose uppers end in crystal teardrops that dan?gle down almost to touch the upraised toes. This form usually carries a yarting (guitar) of white snowwood. Very rarely Oghma's avatar has appeared as a gigantic, spell-hurling old man whose flying body is entirely cloaked in his long, streaming hair and beard. He uses spells from any wizard school. His divination and abjuration spells are cast at triple normal effectiveness in all respects and their targets receive a -3 penalty to their saving throws if any are allowed.

特殊攻击/防御Special Att/Deft:
欧格玛可以吸引任何听到他的非神力存在,即使对方通常可以免疫魅惑。所有在听力所及范围内的生物必须每轮通过一个成功的豁免骰对抗法术否则将被魅惑。欧格玛也可以对他身边180码内的所有生物使用 超感ESP,不过普通的防护魔法可以阻止这一行为。尽管他更喜欢使用法术,但当他发现有必要进行物理攻击时,他会使用一把当他希望时会神奇的出现在他的手中的 +3长剑,然而这把剑没有其他明显的特殊能力。欧格玛自身免疫任何 魅惑 或情绪改变法术和能力以及所有会以任何方式伤害他的心智属性(智力和感知)或理智的法术,效果和能力。
Oghma can charm everyone who can hear him who is not divine, even it that person is normally proof against charmlike powers. All beings in earshot must make a successful saving throw vs. spell every round he speaks or be charmed. Oghma can also use ESP on all beings within 180 yards of himself, though normal protective magics will work to thwart this. Though he prefers to wield spells, when he finds it necessary to attack physically, he uses a long sword +3 that magically appears in his hand when he wishes, though it has no other apparent special abilities. Oghma is himself immune to all charm-type or emotion-altering spells and abilities and to any spell, effect, or ability that would in any way damage his mental faculties (Intelligence or Wisdom) or sanity.
欧格玛的 雅汀琴yarting 可以完美的演奏任何歌曲,旋律,或是噪音,甚至可以听起来像是同时演奏多种乐器。欧格玛可以通过音乐来控制听者的情绪,使他们如此的快乐以至于放弃敌对的意图,亦或是悲伤得只能绝望的哭泣,又或是愤怒到极为凶猛的攻击一切目标(就像狂战士,在他们的攻击骰上获得+2)。(对抗法术豁免检定的-2惩罚对每个效果都适用。)虽然它似乎还有着其他神奇的力量,但贤者们对此意见不一,并且它们可能会随着时间而变化。据说有时欧格玛会把他的雅汀琴借给那些为他执行一些特别重要的事务的他的虔信徒。当被借出时它的能力可能与它在欧格玛手中的典型能力有所不同。
Oghma's yarting is able to play any song, tone, or noise perfectly, and can even sound like multiple instruments playing at once. Oghma can wring from it music to control its listener's emotions, making them so happy as to give up all hostile intent, sad enough to do nothing other than weep in despair, or angry enough to attack any target with immense feroc ity (as berserkers, with a +2 to their attack rolls). (A saving throw vs. spell at a -2 penalty applies for each effect.) It appears to have other magical powers, but sages disagree on them, and they might change from time to time. At times, Oghma has been said to loan his yarting to those of his faithful who are performing some special deed of importance to him. Its abilities when so loaned may vary from those typical to it in Oghma's hands.
其祂显现Other Manifestation
欧格玛经常显现为一道蓝绿色光芒,伴随着独特的渐变上升,几乎像威胁的音乐和弦。它们总是相同的,只有欧格玛敢于使用它们。其他试图模仿和弦的人会立即受到警告;假如他们继续的话,就会出现一圈蓝色火焰,使严重的或致命的烧伤他们,取决于这位神灵的愤怒(程度)。这种光芒总是伴随着一种强烈的被注视着的感觉,欧格玛甚至可能用一种年老而回响着的富有教养的声音,惜字如金的说话,例如:“说得好,”“做得好;”“放弃你的做法否则死亡”“你所追寻的是存在于……”
Oghma most often manifests as a blue-green radiance accompanied by dis tinctive crawling chords of rising, almost menacing music. These are always the same, and only Oghma dare use them. Others who try to imitate the chords are visited by an immediate warning manifestation; if they persist, this is accompanied by a blue ring of flame that encircles and burns them either severely or fatally, depending on the anger of the god. The radiance is always accompanied by a strong sensation of being watched, and Oghma may even speak in an elderly, echoing, cultured voice, using words sparingly to say, for example: "Well said," "Tis well done," "Desist from thy course, or perish," or "What ye seek is to be found in...."
欧格玛也被认为会显现为一种炫目的白光,时不时的喷出两道燃烧的火焰之眼,发射出能够产生魔法效果的彩色光线,或者投射出能够指向、携带或使用物品的手。他也使用各种各样的魔像、翻译者translator(见《异域风景怪物概略PLANESCAPE MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM》附录Appendix 中的 传递者Mediator)、琥珀金龙electrum dragon、飞天怪feystag、观察者watcher、守夜人watchghost 来表达他的赞同或不赞同或是给他的虔信徒送去帮助。
Oghma has also been known to manifest as a blinding white light that may from time to time extrude two blazing eyes of fire, emit beams of col ored force that bestow magical effects, or project hands that can point, carry, or wield items. He also uses various golems, translators (see Mediators in the PLANESCAPE MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM Appendix), electrum dragons, feystags, watchers, and watchghosts to demonstrate his approval or disapproval or to send aid to his faithful.

欧格玛受到智者、巫师和知识分子的尊敬。他特别受到吟游诗人的崇拜,他们也崇拜密里耳。任何寻求信息的人,特别是寻求遗失的或隐藏的信息的人,都会向欧格玛的方向说一些好话并寻求他的赐福。所有欧格玛的祭司都会被称为 学识大师loremasters。其他神职人员包括一些吟游诗人和巫师。所有的种族都可以自由的成为祭司。整个教会的制度都取决于一个人的意志,欧格玛大主教the Grand Patriarch of Oghma,直到 动荡之年Time of Troubles 他一直住在 普洛坎普尔城Procampur,并被公认为“欧格玛的声音voice of Oghma”(译注:即欧格玛的代言人)。在动荡之年期间他消失了并毫无音讯。关于他的遭遇,欧格玛的回答矛盾而令人困惑。原普洛坎普尔的大主教住地已经成为了欧格玛的圣地。直到大主教的命运为人所知之前,教会一直没有一位最高领袖,它已经分裂成了几个派别与分支。
Oghma is venerated by sages, wizards, and the knowledgeable. He is par ticularly worshiped by bards, who also show their bended knees to Milil. Anyone seeking information, particularly lost or hidden information, sends a few good words in Oghma's direction and asks for his blessing. All priests of Oghma are called loremasters. Other clergy include a smat tering of bards and wizards. All races are freely admitted to the priesthood. The entire church hierarchy is devoted to the spirit of one man, the Grand Patriarch of Oghma, who until the Time of Troubles made his home in Procampur and was recognized as being the "voice of Oghma." During the Time of Troubles the Grand Patriarch disappeared without a trace. Answers from Oghma have been conflicting and confusing as to what happened to him. The Patriarch's house in Procampur has become a shrine to Oghma. Until the Grand Patriarch's fate is known, the church is running without an ultimate head, and it has split into several factions and subfactions.
最大的派别是 欧格玛正统教会the Orthodox Church of Oghma,它不承认任何使用主教头衔的人,因为它的统治集团认为在动荡之年间消失的大主教依旧在为欧格玛服务。也许大主教是在另一个位面或者升华到了半神的状态,但无论如何,直到欧格玛另有说法之前,他是唯一合法的大主教。
The largest faction is the Orthodox Church of Oghma, which does not recognize anyone using the title Patriarch since its hierarchy holds that the Patriarch who vanished during the Time of Troubles is still serving Oghma. Perhaps the Patriarch is on another plane of existence or has ascended to a semidivine state, but nevertheless, until Oghma says otherwise, he is the only rightful Patriarch.
第二大派别是 桑比亚Sembia 的 欧格玛教会the Church of Oghma,其主要区别在于它认为已经有一位新的大主教被任命了,并且所有的知识在公布给大众前应该先经过检验证明是值得传播的。这个派别是由 明檀岛Mintar 的 纯粹知识追求者the Pursuers of Pure Knowledge 组成的,它是站在教会统治集团的立场上而非站在神学的立场上。(纯粹知识追求者们最近遇到了非常多的挫折,因为明檀岛被 泰尔多恩·黑暗希望Teldorn Darkhope,黑暗之主的领主骑士ImperceptorLord Knight Imperceptor of the Dark Lord(班恩的各个神殿的领导者)占领,他宣称效忠重生的 班恩Bane 并且杀死了所有公开反抗他的人。因此,教会秘密地反抗着他。)
The second largest faction is the Church of Oghma in Sembia, which is distinguished mainly in that it believes a new Patriarch has been ap pointed and that all knowledge should be tested and proven to be worthy of dissemination before it is given out into general release. This faction is joined in its stance on the church hierarchy, but not on theology, by the Pursuers of Pure Knowledge in Mintar. (The Pursuers of Pure Knowledge have met a great many setbacks recently due to Mintar being taken over by Teldorn Darkhope, Lord Knight Imperceptor of the Dark Lord, who claims to serve Bane reborn and has killed all who oppose him openly. The church opposes him, therefore, covertly.)
到目前为止,大多数地方教会还维持着脆弱的协作,但是 桑比亚Sembia 的欧格玛教会和 科米尔Cormyr 的正统教会之间的最近的不合已经导致这些国家的教会关系彻底破裂。一个国家的学识大师不受其他国家的神殿欢迎,反之亦然。这个问题的核心可能是由于一位 桑比亚人Sembian 的学识大师在一次桑比亚艺术节上的主题发言背后的假想造成的,当时正有大批的 科米尔人Cormyrean 欧格玛教派Oghmanyte 代表团参加。
To date, there has been a tenuous cooperation between most regional churches, but a recent rift between the Church of Oghma in Sembia and the Orthodoxy in Cormyr has caused relations to be broken off totally between the church in those nations. Loremasters of the one nation are not welcome in the others' temples and vice versa. The heart of this problem seems have been caused by assumptions behind the keynote remarks of one Sembian loremaster at a Sembian arts festival in which an extensive Cormyrean Oghmanyte contingent had come to participate.
为 装订者the Binder 服务的信徒们被称为 探求者Seekers,那些有一定成就的称为 高阶探求者Senior Seekers。当至少由两位智慧之神祭司辨明一个助祭在欧格玛的事业中表现出清晰(优秀而有用)的灵感,可靠的服务,或对于这位神灵的忠实信仰时,这两位祭司确认这名助祭成为一名真正的欧格玛祭司,授予他或她学识大师的头衔。
Acolytes in the service of the Binder are called Seekers, and those of some accomplishments are Senior Seekers. When an acolyte demonstrates clear (good and useful) inspiration, solid service in Oghma's cause, or true loyalty to the god to the discernment of at least two priests of the Wise God, those two priests confirm the acolyte as a true priest of Oghma, bestowing upon him or her the title of loremaster.
那些在为欧格玛服务的过程中获得提拔的人可能在不同的地方和辖区赢得各种头衔,但是获得最广泛认可的等级层次(升序排列)是:学识大师Loremaster、学识大师文书助理Loremaster Amanuensis、学识大师冒险者Loremaster Venturer、学识大师英勇者Loremaster Bold、神明的抄写员Scribe of the God、智慧预言者Wise Anticipator、启示者Inspirator、高阶启示者Inspirator High、圣坛Higher Atlar、高等圣坛Higher Atlar、高阶学识大师Loremaster High、至高学识大师Loremaster Most High、欧格玛之眼Eye of Oghma、欧格玛的神圣之手Divine Hand of Oghma。
Those who rise in the service of Oghma may win various titles in different places and jurisdictions, but thi most widely recognized hierarchy of ranks (in ascending order) is: Loremaster, Loremaster Amanuensis, Loremaster Venturer, Loremaster Bold, Scribe of the God, Wise Anticipator, Inspirator, Inspirator High, Atlar, Higher Atlar, Loremaster High, Loremaster Most High, Eye of Oghma, Divine Hand of Oghma.
桑比亚的欧格玛教会和明檀岛的纯粹知识追寻者使用以下头衔(升序排列):倡导者Advocate、熟习倡导者Accomplished Advocate、第十二学识大师Loremaster of the Twelfth、第十一学识大师Loremaster of the Eleventh(等等直到 第二学识大师Loremaster of the Second)、第一学识大师Loremaster First、高阶学识大师Loremaster High、博学之人Learned One、大主教Patriarch。神职人员之间互相称呼为“兄弟brother”和“姐妹sister”无论等级高低,外人或参拜者对于任何欧格玛祭司使用的礼貌称呼为“学识大师女士(或阁下) lady (or lord) loremaster”。
The Church of Oghma in Sembia and the Pursuers of Pure Knowledge in Mintar use the titles (in ascending order) of: Advocate, Accomplished Advocate, Loremaster of the Twelfth, Loremaster of the Eleventh (and so on up to Loremaster of the Second), Loremaster First, Loremaster High, Learned One, and Patriarch. Clergy address each other as "brother" and "sister" regardless of rank, and a polite form of address for out siders and lay worshipers to use when dealing with any priest of Oghma is "lady (or lord) loremaster."
教义Dogma:
知识是至高无上的,尤其是它的原始形式——概念(译注2)。一个观念没有重量,却有移山之力。它没有高度,却能掌控一个国家。它没有庞大的规模,却能撼动帝国。知识是人类最伟大的工具,胜过任何由人类之手所创造的。在一切存在之前,概念必先存在。
Knowledge is most supreme, particularly in its raw form, the idea. An idea has no weight but can move mountains. It has no height but it can dominate a nation. It has no mass but it can push aside empires. Knowledge is the greatest tool of humankind, outweighing anything made by mor tal hands. Before anything can exist, the idea must exist.
[译注2:原文的idea在英文中的意思很多,概念,想法,计划,观念,意见,知识……这里按照个人理解暂翻译为概念。]
知识就是力量,必须小心使用——但向他人隐藏它绝不是一件好事。每过一个月,欧格玛的神职人员至少要以抄写或镌刻的方式复制一些重要信息,由此记录就会增多,知识就不会遗失。欧格玛的神职人员不应扼杀新思想,不管它们看起来多么虚假或疯狂,只是让它们自由的被传播与被思索。你们绝不能杀死歌者,或是袖手旁观。当他们遇到新的吟游诗人时,要倾听他们,当有条件时还要赞助吟游诗人们。
Knowledge is power, and must be used with care—but to hide it away from others is never a good thing. At least once within the passing of each moon, the clergy of Oghma should copy some information of import in writ ten or inscribed form so that records multiply and knowledge is not lost. Oghmanyte clergy are to stifle no new ideas, no matter how false or crazed they seem, but to let them be heard and considered freely. They must never slay a singer, nor stand by while others do so. They are to listen to new bards when they meet them and sponsor bards when they can.
一种欧格玛教派对于初修士的典型告诫是:“谨慎的传播知识。不要为了他们自己而保守秘密。无论何时遇到谎言、谣言、欺骗的叙述和历史,都要抑制和否认它们。每年至少书写或复制并免费的赠送一些有价值的知识一次。将一些书写作品收藏起来而把其他的广泛传播,这样的话当你去世时,费伦的书目知识就会比你出生时更丰富。无论何时你偶然遇见艺人、吟游诗人、抄写员和记录员并意识到他们的需要时,都应赞助、支持、以及教导他们。将真理与知识传播到整个国度从而所有的人们都可以懂得更多。绝不传播错误或不完整的信息,而要(将其保持为)始终像你接收到的那样。尽可能多的教导任何请教者如何读写的技能只要时间和工作允许——并且不为这种教学收取任何费用。”
A typical Oghmanyte charge to novices is: "Spread knowledge whenever it is prudent to do so. Keep no secrets for their own sake. Curb and deny falsehood, rumor, and deceitful accounts and histories whenever you en counter them. Write or copy some lore of value and give it away freely at least once a year. Hide some writings away while distributing others widely so that the written knowledge of Faerûn is larger when you leave life than when you entered it. Sponsor, assist, and teach minstrels, bards, scribes, and recordkeepers whenever you encounter them and perceive a need. Spread truth and knowledge throughout the Realms so that all folk may know more. Never deliver a message falsely or incompletely, but always just as you re ceive it. Teach any folk who ask how to read and write or as much of these crafts as time and tasks permit—and charge no fee for this teaching."
日常活动Day-to-Day Activities:
欧格玛的祭司历来分为两类:那些留在神殿、庙宇和修道院将他们的生活时间花在分析、收集书卷、以及如同被要求的抄写文本和法术的副本的人们和那些外出寻找著作以充填修道院的图书馆的人们。在隐居的过分挑剔的学究们和那些因琐碎规矩和勾心斗角而恼火、比起在修道院墙内遭遇而更喜欢面对旅途中的真实世界的人们之间,总是存在冲突。大多数欧格玛修道院靠出售地图、抄本和法术卷轴来维持生计。旅行中的神职人员经常被派去用法术卷轴来交易,用钱币来购买修道院的学术著作和卷轴。
Priests of Oghma have traditionally been of two sorts: those who remain within temples, monasteries, and abbeys, spending their lives in analysis, reading gathered tomes, and copying out texts and spells as requested and those who go out into the world to find the writings that fill the abbey libraries. There have always been conflicts between the overly fussy pedants among the cloistered and those who chafe under the petty rules and infighting they encounter within abbey walls and prefer to face the real world as one of the wayfaring. Most abbeys of Oghma support themselves by selling maps, scribework, and spell scrolls. Wayfaring clergy are frequently sent armed with spell scrolls to trade and coin to purchase learned works and scrolls with by abbeys.
那些用完了修道院的资金或是独立于任何修道院的旅行祭司们通过对于费伦的观察来书写自己的作品,并且凭借教学、销售地图、为各个赞助者写作诗歌、书信、歌曲和歌词来挣钱,并通过他们积累的知识来回答关于费伦的具体问题。他们的地图副本总是真实的地图。一个欧格玛的神职人员可能会出售他或她知道在某种方面错误但仍是现有最好的地图,但绝不会故意出售一册虚假的地图或它的副本。一名欧格玛教会成员被期望出版至少一本书并将其送到至少三座 智慧之神the Wise God 的神殿中。这样的书可能是一些廉价的小册子,例如一个从艺人的表演中无意听到的歌词的集合,或者它们可能只是浪漫小说,只要这些作品真实的描绘了一个 诸国度the Realms 中的现存社会或地方,并向读者传授了一些真正的知识。
Wayfaring priests who run out of abbey funds or who are independent of any abbey make their own writings from observations of Faerûn and make money by teaching, selling maps, writing poems, letters, songs and lyrics for various patrons, and answering specific questions about Faerûn from their ac cumulated store of knowledge. Their map copies are always of real maps. A member of Oghma's clergy may sell a map that she or he knows to err in some respects but to be the best available, but can never knowingly sell a false map or a copy of it. An Oghmanyte is expected to publish at least one book and cause it to be delivered to at least three temples of the Wise God. Such books may be some sort of small chapbook, such as a collection of song lyrics over heard from observation of performing minstrels, or they may even be ro mantic fiction, so long as such works realistically portray an existing society or place in the Realms and so impart some true knowledge to the reader.
柯娜的祭司被雇佣来给予建议和起草契约,他们甚至可能直接为富有的商人工作,在艰难的谈判过程中提供建议并判断赞助人的对手的反应。在商人进行重要的商业交易前或是杜帕,埃斯塔格德和金色瓦尔的居民开始新的冒险前,他们会收到对柯娜的贡品。在柯娜的图书馆(见下文 主要崇拜中心Major Centers of Worship)中工作的祭司们也管理和供应着不断更新着那座巨大的知识宝库的探索者和智者团队们。
Priests of Curna are paid to give advice and draw up contracts, and they may even work directly for rich merchants, giving advice and judging the reactions of opponents of their patron during tough negotiating sessions. They receive tribute for Curna before merchants make important business deals and before the inhabitants of Durpar, Estagund, and Var the Golden embark on new ventures. The priests who work at the Library of Curna (see Major Centers of Worship, below) also manage and supply the teams of ex plorers and sages who constantly update that vast storehouse of knowledge.
圣日/重要节日Holy Days/Important Ceremonies:
仲夏节Midsummer 和 盾会节Shieldmeet 是最重要欧格玛教会的历法中最为神圣的日子因为他们此时会签订或续签协议,起草许多合同、债券等。然而,欧格玛的祭司必须每天履行两项庄严的仪式:约束和契约。约束是一种晨祷,欧格玛的符号被书写于泥土中,石制祭坛上的灰烬中,或是当一名神职人员被捆绑或无法书写的情况下于心中书写,同时向欧格玛默祷着忠诚与赞颂。契约是一种晚祷,在这期间,人们高声朗读或背诵一些智慧著作的一段,向欧格玛献上一首歌或一首诗,神职人员当天学到的一些知识会被向神灵和在场的其他神职人员高声谈论。
Midsummer and Shieldmeet are the most sacred days of the Oghmanyte calendar since they occasions when agreements are made or renewed and many contracts, bonds, and the like are drawn up. However, a priest of Oghma must observe two solemn rituals every day: the Binding and the Covenant. The Binding is a morning ser vice wherein the symbols of Oghma are written in the dirt, in ashes upon a stone altar, or in the mind if a clergy member happens to be shackled or otherwise unable to write, while a silent prayer of loyalty and praise is made to Oghma. The Covenant is an evening service during which a passage from some work of wisdom is read aloud or recited from memory, a song or poem is offered up to Oghma, and some item of knowledge that the clergy member has learned during that day is spoken aloud to the god and to any fellow clergy present.
在智慧之神的寺庙,神殿和修道院中每天的其余时间,通常是用来在每两小时左右举行一次的集会上大声朗读伟大的传说、哲学和历史书籍。需要注意的是,所有的欧格玛神殿几乎都有自己特有的仪式,在每个神殿中除了每天的基本仪式(装订与立契the Binding and the Covenant)外,许多还拥有着两套不同的仪式:那些常驻神职人员的和那些世俗者及来访的神职人员的。
In monasteries, temples, and abbeys of the Wise God, the rest of the day is typically occupied by readings aloud from great books of lore, philosophy, and history at gatherings held every two hours or so. It should be noted that almost all temples to Oghma have their own rituals that vary from one temple to the next except the Cornerstones of the Day (the Binding and the Covenant) and that many have two different sets of rituals: those for the resident clergy and those for laity and visiting clergy.
主要崇拜中心Major Centers of Worship:
在传统上,烛堡Candlekeep 是费伦大陆最大的学术中心,也是欧格玛最大的圣地。坐落于 高月城Highmoon(深林谷Deepingdale)的 研习之叶The Leaves of Learning 神殿是近来最著名的崇拜中心(多亏了 达那里的索引the Index of Danali——见《瓦罗的谷地指南Volo's Guide to the Dalelands》以获取更多信息)(译注3),但是一些神殿在争夺费伦的欧格玛祭祀中的最高地位:塞尔刚特城Selgaunt 的 思想之塔the Tower of Thought,在那里 至高博学祭司Most High Learned Priest 乌迪约万·埃兰Urdiyvan Eraen 领导着欧格玛教会;在 普洛坎普尔城Procampur 的 理性圣殿Domes of Reason 的镀金穹顶下,高阶学识大师图书馆管理员High Loremaster Librarian 伊斯坦布尔·奥纳塔拉Estember Orntalar 似乎正在赢得一场邪恶的权力斗争,以成功的取代 普洛坎普尔大主教the Patriarch of Procampur 成为正统的领袖;在位于 松哈尔Songhal 以西高地的 因布图Impiltur 的要塞化修道院 万卷之邸the House of Many Tomes,在 至贵学识大师Loremaster Most Exalted 普利斯帕林·卡达斯林Prespaerin Cadathlyn 声称他已经与装订者达到了“一个新的亲密境界”,并获得了“费伦装订者Binder of Faerûn”的头衔作为他与神合一的标志。深水城的 知识的圣洗池The Font of Knowledge 也作为最近竣工的大型欧格玛神庙而著名。它完成于 旗帜之年Year of the Banner(1368 DR)的仲夏节,由 至高学识大师Loremaster Most High、欧格玛的学者Savant of Oghma、“智者”桑德罗Sandrew the Wise 领导。
Candlekeep is traditionally the greatest center of learning in Faerûn, and one of the most holy places of Oghma. The Leaves of Learning temple in Highmoon (Deepingdale) is the most recently prominent center of worship (thanks to the Index of Danali—see Volo's Guide to the Dalelands for more information), but several temples are vying for supremacy in Oghmanyte worship in Faerûn at present: the Tower of Thought in Selgaunt, where Most High Learned Priest Urdiyvan Eraen leads the Church of Oghma; the gilded Domes of Reason temple in Procampur, where High Loremaster Librarian Estember Orntalar seems to be winning a vicious power struggle to succeed the Patriarch of Procampur as leader of the Orthodoxy; and the House of Many Tomes fortified abbey in upland Impiltur west of Songhal, where Loremaster Most Exalted Prespaerin Cadathlyn claims to have reached "a new closeness" to the Binder and has taken the title "Binder of Faerûn" as a mark of his oneness with the god. The Font of Knowledge in Waterdeep is also notable as the most recently completed grand temple of Oghma. It was finished in Midsummer of the Year of the Banner (1368 DR) and is led by Loremaster Most High Sandrew the Wise, Savant of Oghma.

在 光辉南方the Shining South,柯娜山脉the Curna Mountains(也被称为 智慧山脉the Mountains of Wisdom)的 柯娜图书馆The Library of Curna 以柯娜之名拥有最卓越的欧格玛学术和崇拜中心。据说它的内容与烛堡不同之处在于他们更多地关注时事、商业和自然主义研究,而烛堡的收藏的优势在于迄今为止的历史作品。
The Library of Curna in the Curna Mountains (also known as the Mountains of Wisdom) in the Shining South holds the most prominent center of scholarship and worship of Oghma in the guise of Curna. Its con tents are said to differ from Candlekeep's in that they focus more on cur rent events, business, and naturalistic studies that Candlekeep's collec tion, whose strength is by far in historical works.
从属组织Affiliated Orders:
虽然欧格玛教会不支持任何军事或武力团体,但它的庇护范围遍及无数的修道团体、荣誉学术团体、博物学家和草药学家协会、以及吟游诗人知识学院。其中包括:被动语态之子the Children of the Passive Voice,一个它的成员保护着许多图书馆和修道院的博识僧侣们的团体;镀金桂冠团体the Order of the Gilt Laurel,一个历史小说作家的荣誉协会;森林研究者the Fellows of the Forest,一个博物学者协会;以及 银弦之友the Companions of the Silver Strings,一个英勇的吟游诗人团体,他们冒着生命危险勇敢地为欧格玛教会服务。欧格玛信徒与 那些弹竖琴者Those Who Harp(竖琴手the Harpers)有联系,那是一个为了善良和反对强权崛起而工作着的组织。
While the church of Oghma sponsors no military or knightly orders, it spreads its aegis over a countless number of monkish fel lowships, scholarly orders of honor, guilds of naturalists and herbalists, and colleges of bardic knowledge. Some of these include the Children of the Passive Voice, an order of learned monks whose members protect many li braries and abbeys; the Order of the Gilt Laurel, an honorary society of historical fiction authors; the Fellows of the Forest, a naturalist society; and the Companions of the Silver Strings, an order of heroic bards who acted valiantly at risk of their own lives in the service of the church of Oghma. The Oghmanyte faith also has ties with Those Who Harp (the Harpers), an organization working for good and against the rise of great powers throughout Faerûn.
祭司的祭服Priestly Vestments:
所有的欧格玛祭司拥有相同的仪式服饰——白色的衬衫和裤子,黑色和金色的锦缎马甲。衬衫袖子很宽,但在手腕处系住。这种被称为 坎德拉kantlara 的马甲,描绘了许多象形文字、符号、符文,以及魔法力量、奥术意义的象征,这些象征贯穿了费伦各个时代的各个领域。佩戴者用金色编织物将这些标记缝合在一起。它们可以是任何种类和尺寸的,可以陈列在穿着者想要的衣服上的任何地方。在任何时候当一名祭司提升了一个等级,她或他通常会在梦境中看到那个被缝合的符号。因此,坎德拉是私人的个人服装。
All priests of Oghma have the same ceremonial dress—white shirt and trousers with a vest of black and gold brocade. The shirt sleeves are wide, but tied at the wrists. The vests, known as kantlara, depict many glyphs, sigils, runes, and symbols of magical power, arcane meaning, and significance in various realms of Faerûn down through the ages. Such markings are sewn on by the wearer using gold braid. They may be of any sort and size and are displayed on any spot on the garment that the wearer desires. At any time a priest ascends a level, she or he usually sees the symbol to be sewn in a dream vision. Kantlara are thus personal and individual garments.
失去了或与他们的坎德拉分离的神父可以使用紫色或深红色的马甲,马甲背面装饰着一幅欧格玛的简单卷轴并且两胸上都有 切西纳拉Chelsinara 的徽记。这个符号是以这位神灵的一位重要的早期女祭司命名的,它由两个呈杯状的手组成,手指向上,拇指接触。它的意思是“我学会了。”所有崇拜欧格玛的人,无论是世俗人员还是神职人员,都用它来表示他们作为他的信徒的成员身份。
Priests who lose or are separated from their kantlara are allowed to use purple or crimson vests adorned with a simple scroll of Oghma on the back and the symbol of Chelsinara on both breasts. This symbol, named for an important early priestess of the god, consists of two cupped hands, fingers uppermost and thumbs touching. It means "I learn." It is the badge of Oghma used by all who worship him, both laity and clergy, to denote their membership among his faithful.
在圣地举行仪式时需戴一个盒状的小帽子;离开欧格玛的圣地后脱去它。除了他们的其它仪式服饰,脱离欧格玛教会的祭司们(在桑比亚)总是戴着一副小丑面具。
A small boxlike hat is worn in ceremonies held on sacred ground; off of ground holy to Oghma it is removed. In addition to their other ceremonial garb, the priests of the breakaway Church of Oghma (in Sembia) always wear a harlequin's mask.
冒险装束Adventuring Garb:
在野外,欧格玛的祭司有一套宽松的着装规范,穿着他们自己选择的并且通常尽可能的选择盔甲。欧格玛教会(在桑比亚)保留着小丑面具,但仅限于桑比亚境内。
In the field, Oghmanyte priests have a relaxed dress code, wearing what they choose and usually choosing as much armor as possible. The Church of Oghma (in Sembia) retains the harlequin's mask, but only within the borders of Sembia.
在高阶神职人员和吟游诗人的成就的指引下,智慧之神的牧师被鼓励发展他们所拥有的任何音乐技能,他们通常会随身携带某种乐器以及准备一些将东西写下来的办法。许多学识大师携带着被称为欧格玛之笔的小型神殿魔法道具。这些是不会折断的鹅毛笔,按照作者的意愿发光至足以看清来书写或阅读,并自己产生无限的墨水:一种不会有污渍或褪色并且立刻干燥的物质。
Priests of the Wise God are encouraged to develop any musical skills they possess under the tutelage of senior clergy and bards of accomplish ment, and they usually carry some sort of instrument on their persons as well as some means of writing things down. Many loremasters carry items of minor temple magic known as pens of Oghma. These are quill pens that do not break, glow at the writer's will brightly enough to see to write or read by, and generate their own endless ink: a substance that does not blotch or fade and dries instantly.
