皇冠战争Crown Wars
皇冠战争The Crown Wars -12000 DR ~ -9000 DR
精灵族Elves 的 皇冠战争Crown Wars 爆发于一万两千多年以前，延续了长达四个精灵世代之久。发生在皇冠战争期间，并且至今仍在影响诸国度的两个最重大事件就是 黑暗天灾Dark Disaster 和 卓尔精灵沉降Descent of the Drow。黑暗天灾彻底摧毁了森林国度 麦叶理塔王国Miyeritar，只留下现在被称为 至高荒原High Moor 的一 片焦土。也许是因为皇冠战争期间的野蛮行径、又或者因时间流逝而无从考证的其他因素，黑暗精灵在这 一时期腐化堕落，与自己的同胞分道扬镳。在挑起 众多战争以及犯下无数酷行之后，他们移居到了世界的地表之下，变成了 地底精灵deep elf，又被称作 卓尔精灵drow。
The Crown Wars of the Elves erupted more than a dozen millennia ago, pitting nearly four generations of elf against elf. the two greatest events of the Crown Wars that still have impact are the Dark Disaster and the Descent of the Drow. the Dark Disaster utterly destroyed the forest realm of Miyeritar, leaving the blasted plains that are now the High Moor. Perhaps due to the savagery of the Crown Wars or other factors long lost to time, the dark elves became corrupt during this era, broke away from their kinfolk, and after much warfare and cruelty they descended beneath the world's surface to become the deep elves, also known as the drow.

瓦珊塔帝国的崛起Rise of the Vyshaantar Empire：经过数个世纪徒劳无功的外交努力后，艾瑞凡达王国Aryvandaar 丧失耐心的贪婪统绐者开始进攻 麦叶理塔王国Miyeritar，并向 桑塔·欧斯瑞尔王国Shantel Othreier 施加政治压力：要么加入他们，要么遭受与前者同样的命运。第一次皇冠战争First Crown War 爆发。

Dragons set aflame the southern expanse of Shantel Othreier, separating the soon-to-be-called Wyrmwood from its greater body. Tethir, kin of Keltormir (soon to be called the Dragonslayer), single-handedly slays two ancient red wyrms of the Ridge and saves many elves of his own Keltormir and Shantel Othreier. Tethir's stand earns the elves the respect of the dragons, which had previously dismissed them as ignorant, two-footed cattle.

黑暗天灾The Dark Disaster：麦叶理塔王国Miyeritar 被毁灭性的杀戮风暴所吞噬。这场持续了三个月的风暴把整个森林和王国冲毁，将其变成贫瘠的荒野。虽然从未发现任何证据，但很多精灵都相信是 艾瑞凡达王国Aryvandaar 的 高等法师High Mages 把 黑暗天灾Dark Disaster 施加给了麦叶理塔。震惊于黑暗天灾，精灵们迎来了来之不易的四十年和平时期。在 皇冠战争Crown Wars 所造成的巨大浩劫面前，几乎 费伦大陆Faerûn 的每个精灵都陷入巨大恐慌之中。
Miyeritar is engulfed in killing storms, which reduce this entire forest and realm into a barren wasteland in three months. Although no proof could ever be found, many believe the High Mages of Aryvandaar inflicted the Dark Disaster on Miyeritar.

——塔克·沙纳特Taark Shanat 的八个儿子出发前往北方的洞窟群在今日的泰瑟尔和安姆地下，建立了属于他们自己的王国。因为他们每人都尊奉 摩拉丁Moradin 的不同孩子为自己的守护神，所以每个小王国都与某位神祇的教会建立了异常紧密的联系。
The eight sons of Taark Shanat set off to found their own kingdoms in the caverns to the north (beneath modern-day Tethyr and Amn). Because each son claims a different child of Moradin as a patron deity, each subkingdom becomes closely linked with the church of a particular god or goddess.

卓尔之沉降Descent of the Drow：在其牧师和高等法师的引导下，柯瑞隆Corellon 的魔法将黑暗精灵——无论是腐败堕落的 伊利斯瑞精灵Ilythiiri 还是其他——转化为 卓尔精灵drow。不知是因为魔法、还是因为把他们从阳光照耀下的土地放逐的弱点，在两个月之内，所有卓尔精灵全部撤入 幽暗地域Underdark。
Corellon's magic, as directed through his priests and High Mages, transforms the dark elves, whether the corrupt Ilythiiri or others, into the drow. Whether by magic or by the weaknesses that banish them from the sunlit lands, all drow retreat within two months' passing into the Underdark.

以下断章来自一枚属于 麦叶理塔王国Miyeritar 的 艾尔瑞斯家族House Aelryth 所有的 学识宝石damaged kiira，在数千年的时间里，它一直被保藏在 黑杖塔Blackstaff Tower 最深处的宝库中。目前，这块宝石掌握在 隐密之城the Hidden City 莱曼森城Rhymanthiin 的 莱拉·银手-奥罗桑Laeral Silverhand-Arunsun 手中。
The following fragments are from the damaged kiira (lore gem) of House Aelryth of Miyeritar, which was kept for millennia in the deepest vaults of Blackstaff Tower. It is now in the keeping of Laeral Silverhand-Arunsun of Rhymanthiin, the Hidden City.
……现在，即使是 伊尔法兰王国Illefarn 的 伊尔利塔Iyilitar 都加入到我们对于最近 瓦珊人Vyshaan 入侵事件的谴责与声讨之中。我们 艾尔瑞斯家族Aelryth 将为 麦叶理塔王国Miyeritar 而战，这片土地绝不允许 艾瑞凡达王国Aryvandaar 的日精灵们染指。为了实现这一目标，我们应该撤回 瑞林山脉Raelin's Mount，在那里重新集结我们的战士……
. . . now even the Iyilitar of Illefarn joins us in condemnation of this latest episode of Vyshaan aggression. We Aelryth will fight for Miyeritar and suffer no occupation by the sun elves of Aryvandaar. To this end, we shall withdraw to Raelin's Mount and rally our warriors. . . .
……霍恩氏族Clan Hune 为我们带来了意想不到的援助。为了黑暗精灵的手足情谊，霍恩族人提供了武器，以及关于瓦珊人 哈洛克hahlorkh（译注：精灵语中的屠夫）种种行径的大量讯息。他们力劝我们不要相信谎言，而是以血脉相连的兄弟情谊团结到一起。作为对于这种团结的认可，我们派遣了艾尔瑞斯家族中三名最有天赋的 泰勒贡特telegaunt（译注：精灵语中的战场指挥官）前往 伊利斯瑞王国Ilythiir。在那里，他们将在战斗中得到磨炼，并学习霍恩氏族的 柯瑞菲泰尔Keryfaertel（精灵语中的战斗魔法之学识）……
. . . . . . Clan Hune has sent us unlooked-for aid. In dark elven brotherhood, its members have sent us weapons and much intelligence on the doings of the Vyshaan hahlorkh. They urge us not to believe the lies, and to recognize always our solidarity as blood kin and tyssir. In recognition of these ties, we have sent three of the most gifted telegaunts of House Aelryth south to Ilythiir where they will be trained in battle and learn the keryfaertel of Clan Hune. . . .
……冕王伊罗司Coronal Ynloeth 惨遭杀害，他的死亡剥夺了我们一个重要的盟友。我们对 提鲁·奥林德拉亚Tiru Orindraar 展开的报复性袭击遭受了惨败，瓦珊人军队俘虏了我们大量的战士。根据我从 塔兰斯Taranth 得到的消息，在仲夏节之前将会有新军队加入我们。我只能祈祷这些战士在魔法与剑技上已经接受了足够训练……
. . . Coronal Ynloeth has been slain, and his death deprives us of a great ally. Our retaliatory assault on Tiru Orindraar was a dismal failure, and the Vyshaan mathora captured many of our fighters. I have received word from Taranth that additional forces will join us before Midsummer. I pray that these warriors have learned much in the way of magic and bladecraft in their time away. . .
……麦叶理塔不复存在了。尽管他们将这场黑暗天灾都归咎于 斯瑞'泰'奎瑟一族Ssri'Tel'Quessir（译注：精灵语中的黑暗精灵），但毫无疑问，是瓦珊人将 莫姆哈奥·赛克瑞罗Mormhaor'Sykerylor（译注：精灵语中的杀戮风暴）释放了出来。如今，我们的家园化为枯萎而贫瘠的荒地，我们的人民离散于风中。但以 席德瑞恩诸神Seldarine 之意志，我们必将复仇……
. . . Miyeritar is no more. Clearly the Mormhaor'Sykerylor has been unleashed by the Vyshaan, despite their feeble attempts to blame this dark disaster on the Ssri'Tel'Q uessir. Our homes now lie blasted and barren, and our people have been scattered to the winds. But we shall have our revenge, by the will of the Seldarine. . . .
……创伤仍未得到治愈——瓦珊家族Vyshaan 的邪恶迹象愈来愈多。在我的祝福下，塔兰斯Taranth 获得了军队的指挥权。作为一名强大而令人敬畏的艾尔瑞斯家族子孙，他曾在战争中得到磨练，并且比其他族人都更骄傲于自己的黑暗精灵血脉。在前往 阿梵多Arvandor 之前，他将确保我们品尝众多艾瑞凡达精灵的鲜血……
. . . the wound does not heal—yet more evidence of the Vyshaan's evil. Taranth has taken control of our forces with my blessing. A formidable scion of House Aelryth, he has been tempered in the heat of battle and is prouder than all others of his dark elf heritage. He will ensure that our vael taste the blood of many from Aryvandaar before we find Arvandor. . . .
……伊利斯瑞向艾瑞凡达发动了一次袭击。骑乘于龙背之上，伊利斯瑞战士们翱翔于风中，前去解救陨落的麦叶理塔的黑暗精灵。塔兰斯告诉我说，那些该诅咒的日精灵竟然利用大火来阻隔伊利斯瑞的进攻，桑塔·欧斯瑞尔王国Shantel Othreier 的林地陷入了火海。瓦珊人陷入了混乱之中，而为了援助伊利斯瑞兄弟，我们开始袭击了树村 卢瑞希尔村Leurethil、卡伊菲尔村Caelpiir、以及 莫林纳斯村Morynarth。在卡伊菲尔村，塔兰斯将日精灵长老的头颅钉在议会之树上，以警告那些瓦珊氏族的追随者。这场战争让我们全都变得孤注一掷……
. . . Ilythiir has launched an attack against Aryvandaar. On dragonback, its warriors sail the winds to free the dark elves of fallen Miyeritar. Taranth tells me that the accursed sun elves have used fire to ward off the Ilythiiri assaults, and the vandora of Shantel Othreier are ablaze. the Vyshaan are in disarray, and we have attacked the tree-villages of Leurethil, Morynarth, and Caelpiir to assist our Ilythiiri brothers. Taranth has nailed the heads of the sun elf elders to the council tree in Caelpiir to warn off Vyshaan pursuers. This war has made us all desperate. . . .
……就在昨天，伊尔法兰的 乌尔洛斯Urloth 前来见我，他宣称塔兰斯以及艾尔瑞斯家族犯下了种种错误的暴行，甚至比任何兽人的行径还要糟糕。我斥责他毫无疑问早已成为了瓦珊间谍，而仅在一息之后，塔兰斯就将乌尔洛斯杀死，以惩罚他的污秽羞辱。伊尔法兰的 泰'奎瑟一族Tel'Q uessir 已经背叛并遗弃了我们，现在，除了伊利斯瑞，我们不再有任何朋友……
. . . yesterday Urloth of Illefarn came to see me, claiming that Taranth and House Aelryth had committed worse atrocities than those of any orc slaugh. I cursed him for the Vyshaan spy he had undoubtedly become, and Taranth slew him a breath later for his foul insults. We have no friends now except the Ilythiiri. the Tel'Q uessir of Illefarn have betrayed and abandoned us. . .
……这简直太疯狂了！某些恶毒的 菲尔法奥faerfhaor（译注：精灵语中的魔法转化）亵渎了我们自己的魔法，诅咒我们的皮肤变得如同瓦珊人的灵魂一样漆黑。炽热的太阳灼烧着我们，让我们陷入失明，族人们无法在户外忍受这一切。我们不得不躲在一连串的洞窟中，寄希望于能够穿越地下隧道前去同伊利斯瑞盟友会合。带着哀痛，我们离开了家乡，我们清楚自己早已被 席德瑞恩诸神Seldarine 所遗弃……
. . . this is madness! Some vile faerfhaor that defies our own magic has caused our skins to become as black as the souls of the Vyshaan. the sun burns and blinds us, and we cannot abide the outdoors. We have taken refuge in a series of caverns and hope to travel south by means of underground tunnels to join our Ilythiiri allies. We leave our homeland with sorrow, knowing that we have been forsaken by the Seldarine . . .
