虽然 柯瑞隆Corellon 的圣徽是一轮新月,但 莎罕尼·月弓Sehanine Moonbow(读作“SEH-ha-neen MOON-boe”)才是精灵的月女神——或者更确切地说,满月女神。她管理着预言、预兆与精微的魔法,她还保护人民免受疯狂困扰。她看护着精灵的梦境,防止他们在醒梦时被人所伤,并给予他们回避未来危险的预兆。莎罕尼看护着精灵的精魂们跨越世界的旅途,她同时也是死者的保护神。夜空之女同样也是那些完结了在红尘凡世的凡缘,准备离开他们熟悉与热爱的大地,踏上前往诸如 永聚岛Evermeet 之类的远方避难所的精灵们的守护者。她同样保护着这些庇护所不被打扰。莎罕尼掌管着灵魂与肉体这两者的漫长旅途,她同样看护着在精灵文化之中被称为转生的事实,她与柯瑞隆一同在精灵的精魂们向着完美进发的道路上,引导着它们前往下一个躯体中。虽然莎罕尼被所有的 优雅族裔the Fair Folk(包括半精灵与一些侏儒幻术师)敬重着,但是月精灵(视她为自己的保护者)与日精灵(与尘世最为隔绝的精灵亚种)对其敬重尤甚。寻求着超度的精灵,踏上前往永聚岛或 阿梵多国度Arvandor 之旅的精灵,身或心正在长途跋涉着的精灵与潜修者、先知、预言师与幻术的编织者都会向 月光女神the Goddess of Moonlight 祈祷。
Whereas Corellon's symbol is the crescent moon, Sehanine Moonbow (SEH-ha-neen MOON-boe) is the elven goddess of the moon or, more specifically, the full moon. She governs divinations, omens, and subtle magics and protects against madness. She watches over the dreams of the elves, keeping them from harm while in reverie and sending omens to protect them from future dangers. Sehanine watches over the passage of elven spirits from the world, and she is protectress of the dead. The Daughter of the Night Skies is also a guardian and guide to those elves whose days in the mundane world of mortals are done and who seek to travel from the lands they know and love to distant refuges such as Evermeet. She also watches over such refuges and ensures they are kept safe from intrusion. Sehanine governs long journeys, both physical and spiritual, and in elven cultures that proclaim the reality of reincarnation, Sehanine and Corellon work together to guide the spirit to its best subsequent incarnation as it works its way toward perfection. Although Sehanine is venerated by all the Fair Folk (including half-elves and a handful of gnome illusionists), she is particularly revered by moon elves, who view her as their protector, and gold elves, who are the most withdrawn from the world of all the elven subraces. Tel'Quessir seeking to explore transcendental mysteries, awaiting passage to Evermeet or Arvandor, or undergoing physical or spiritual journeys pray to the Goddess of Moonlight, as do mystics, seers, diviners, and weavers of illusions.
称呼在柯瑞隆的女儿与妻子之间切换的莎罕尼,是 精灵神系the elven pantheon 中最强大的女性神力。她被认为是月亮的神秘女神,据说她的眼泪和柯瑞隆之血混合在一起,赋予了精灵一族生命。精灵们可不会遗忘这一点。莎罕尼既是 安格芮丝Angharradh 的原初面相,亦是共同组成这尊三位一体之女神的三神的一员——另外两位是 艾德莉·法恩雅Aerdrie Faenya 与 哈娜莉·瑟拉妮尔Hanali Celanil。她身为面相与组成部分之一的二元性让她与其她两位资深精灵女神紧密地联系在了一起,并一起侍奉于柯瑞隆身旁,领导着 席德瑞恩诸神the Seldarine——这就和莎罕尼在其他神话中所做的一样。莎罕尼与其祂席德瑞恩诸神关系良好,她的善心曾经在 谢瓦拉许Shevarash 沉浸于黑暗的狂怒中时抚慰了他的心灵,也正是她好客的天性让 费马罗Fenmarel 偶尔回阿梵多看一眼。光辉之云The Luminous Cloud 在席德瑞恩诸神以外少有联系紧密的神祇,因为她的超凡脱俗甚至超越绝大多数神祇。莎罕尼与 塞伦涅Selûne 合作紧密,因为她们关注着相同的事物。月光女神还是 伊莉丝翠Eilistraee 的坚强盟友,视伊莉丝翠如己出。莎罕尼同样也与其祂监护亡者的亚人与人类神祇结盟,但她绝对不会容忍涉足死灵术之黑暗魔艺的神祇。(莎罕尼能够忍受谨慎实验后的白死灵术,据说她同样监视着 贝诺巫妖baelnorn 的创造,并将此视为虽然不受欢迎、但却必要的尝试。)莎罕尼与 罗丝Lolth 之间地敌对关系自后者尚是 阿罗诗Araushnee——柯瑞隆的前配偶,差点导致了 保护者the Protector 陨落与席德瑞恩诸神败北的幕后操作者时,便已存在。梦之女士The Lady of Dreams 活跃低对抗着 蛛后the Spider Queen 与其祂卓尔神明的恶毒计划。当人类崛起并贪婪地将自己的触手拓展到精灵的传统家园之时,莎罕尼发现她的大部分精力都被用在了阻挠 欧吕尔Auril、希瑞克Cyric、犸拉Malar、塔洛斯Talos、安博里Umberlee 这类神祇的毁灭浪潮中。
Alternately called the wife and daughter of Corellon, Sehanine is the mightiest of the female powers in the elven pantheon. Identified with the mystic power of the moon, Sehanine's tears are said to have mingled with Corellon's blood and given life to the elven race. The elves do not forget this. Sehanine is both the primary aspect of Angharradh and one of the three elven goddesses-the other two being Aerdrie Faenya and Hanali Celanil-who collectively form the Triune Goddess. This duality tightly binds Sehanine with the two other senior elven goddesses, and the three collectively serve alongside Corellon in leading the Seldarine, just as the Goddess of Moonlight is said to do in other myths. Sehanine has excellent relations with all of the Seldarine, and it is her kind-heartedness that soothes the anger of Shevarash in his darkest fury and her welcoming nature that brings Fenmarel back to Arvandor on occasion. The Luminous Cloud has few strong relationships outside of the Seldarine, for her otherworldliness is beyond even most other deities. Sehanine works closely with Selûne, for the two share similar concerns, and the Goddess of Moonlight is a strong ally of Eilistraee, whom she considers an adopted daughter of sorts. Sehanine has also forged alliances with some of the other human and demihuman powers who oversee death, but she has no tolerance for those who practice in the black arts of necromancy. (Sehanine does tolerate careful experimentation in white necromancy, and it is said that she vigilantly oversees the creation of baelnorn as a necessary, if undesirable, practice.) Sehanine's antipathy for Lolth has existed since the latter was Araushnee, consort of Corellon and the mastermind who nearly engineered the death of the Protector and the defeat of the Seldarine. The Lady of Dreams actively opposes the nefarious schemes of the Spider Queen and the other drow powers. With the rise of humanity and its rapacious expansion into traditional elven homelands, Sehanine has found her energies increasingly occupied by thwarting the destructive ravages of gods such as Auril, Cyric, Malar, Talos, and Umberlee.
除了将幻象编织于类似于 永聚岛、辛诺利亚王国Synnoria、露西恩-闪Rucien-Xan、以及 迷斯·戴拉利斯Myth Dyraalis 之类的精灵避世处并引导精灵来到这些地方以外,莎罕尼极少直接干预 诸国度the Realms 的事务。她的力量随月相的转变而潮起潮落,她的力量在满月之时达到顶峰。作为精灵的神秘女神,她总将自己裹在秘密与幻象之中,鲜少直言其心意,她更喜欢用梦境、启示与其他神秘手段来与精灵交流。夜空之女同样也是那些完结了在红尘凡世的凡缘,准备离开他们熟悉与热爱的大地,踏上前往诸如永聚岛之类的远方避难所的精灵们的守护者。她同样保护着这些庇护所不被打扰。对于那些尝试给给莎罕尼一个明确定义的人们来说,莎罕尼缥缈虚无,转瞬即逝,包裹其周身之物宛如月尘壁罩。
Sehanine rarely concerns herself directly with events in the Realms, aside from weaving illusions around secret elven retreats such as Evermeet, Synnoria, Rucien-Xan, and Myth Dyraalis and guiding elves coming to those lands. Her power waxes and wanes with the phases of the moon, growing strongest when the moon is full. As befits the elven goddess of mysteries, Sehanine is cloaked in secrets and illusions and rarely speaks her mind directly, preferring to communicate through a process of dreams, visions, and other mystic experiences. The Goddess of Moonlight is truly spiritual and ephemeral being who evades any attempt to define her and whose serenity surrounds her like a mantle of moondust.

莎罕尼神临为一位既显得年幼又富有不朽感的精灵女性,她身着一件由半流动的月光织线编织而成的半透明长裙。她偏爱释放来自共通、星界、魅惑、预言、守卫、治疗、死灵、保护、召唤、太阳与旅者领域的神术,以及变化、预言、气元素、幻术/幻影学派的法术,尽管她能施展来自任何领域或学派的法术。
Sehanine appears as an elven female who is simultaneously youthful and ageless, wearing a diaphanous flowing gown formed of semi-solid gossamer moonbeams. She favors spells from the spheres of all, astral, charm, divination, guardian, healing, necromantic, protection, summoning, sun, and travelers and from the schools of alteration, divination, elemental (air), and illusion/phantasm, although she can cast spells from any sphere or school.

特殊攻击/防御Special Att/Def:
莎罕尼挥舞着 月之光moonshaf,一柄拥有 夜之法杖staff of night 与 月光法杖staff of moonglow(均见《万物大全:第四册ENCYCLOPEDIA MAGICA, Volume 4 & Index》)全部威能的 +2 铁头棒, 但若被迫进行战斗,她更喜欢使用她的法术、魔杖与天生能力。她的长裙拥有 移位斗篷cloak of displacement 的威能,她随身还携带着一柄 变形魔杖wands of polymorphing 与 麻痹魔杖wands of paralyzation。莎罕尼的长裙上滴落的点点凝光汇在地上形成一个个小池。她身上的光每回合最多滴落一次。如果这些光滴被快速地盛起来,那么它们可以被当作 隐形药水potion of invisibility 来饮用(一滴仅一次)。
Sehanine wields Moonshaft, a quarterstaff +2 with all the powers of a staff of the moonglow and a staff of night (both described in the ENCYCLOPEDIA MAGICA, Volume 4 & Index tome), but she prefers to employ spells, wands, and innate abilities to disable enemies if forced to fight. Her gown has the powers of a cloak of displacement, and she carries wands of polymorphing and paralyzation. Drops of light that fall from Sehanine's gown form tiny pools on the earth. At most one such drop falls per turn. If swiftly bottled, it serves the imbiber as a potion of invisibility (one dose).
莎罕尼的施法能力随月相的变化而变化。无论她的豁免骰、生命值、防御等级、零级命中值与能施展的法术数量如何变化,她的所有法术与类法术能力的实际施法者等级都将会从+5(满月)到-5(新月或月全食)之间变化。每日3次,莎罕尼可施展 睡眠术sleep。她可以任意对着120呎内的一个生物施展 魅知术false seeing(一种 真知术ture seeing 的逆向版本)并使对方的豁免承受-4惩罚。她行走之时,她的足迹将化为 月光纤尘motes of moonlight,并能让一道月光向她指着的任何方向发散。她可以随意通过 托梦术dream 与人交流而无需进入出神状态。每轮1次,随意使用,她可以随意创造一道 月之弓moonbow 或 月之桥moonbridge。所有对抗她施展的幻术/幻影学派的法术的豁免骰承受-2不利,并且与任何能够作用在单独法术上的减值叠加。任何看到 夜空之女the Daughter of the Night Sky 的东西必须以-2不利通过一次对抗法术的豁免检定,否则就会在1d4回合内陷入深度沉眠。
Sehanine's power as a spellcaster varies with the phase of the moon. While neither the number of spells she can cast nor her saving throws, hit points, or her THAC0 change, the spell level at which all spells and spell-like powers are cast varies from +5 (when the moon is full) to -5 (when the moon is new or fully eclipsed). Sehanine can cast sleep three times per day. She can cast false seeing (the reverse of true seeing) at will at any single creature within 120 feet who fails a saving throw vs. spell with a -4 penalty. She trails motes of moonlight as she walks and can send forth a beam of them in any direction she points. She can communicate through dream spells at will without entering a trance state. She can create a moonbow or moonbridge, once per round, at will. All saving throws made against Sehanine's illusion/phantasm spells are made with a penalty of -2, cumulative with any other saving throw penalties that might apply to individual spells. Anyone looking at the Daughter of the Night Sky must make a successful saving throw vs. spell with a -2 penalty or fall into a deep sleep for 1d4 turns.
莎罕尼本身免疫于任何幻术/幻影学派的法术与控制心灵、改变心灵的法术或能力(包括灵能),她的热感视觉延伸至和她的普通视觉一样长。她本身免疫任何能造成目盲的法术。莎罕尼只能被+2与更高附魔的魔法武器所伤。
Sehanine herself is wholly immune to all illusion/phantasm spells and mind-affecting or mind-altering spells or abilities, including psionics, and her infravision extends as far as her normal vision. She is immune to any spell that causes blindness. Sehanine can be struck only by +2 or better magical weapons.
其他显现Other Manifestations
莎罕尼通过梦境与清醒时分的启示显现。她只将恩惠给予那些陷入别样“清醒”的信徒——她们在冥想中,在舞蹈中,在出神中达到这种境界。
Sehanine manifests through dreams and waking visions. She grants boons only to worshipers who enter an altered state of awareness, whether it be through meditation, dance, or trance.
莎罕尼最普通的显现会给予领恩者呼唤莎罕尼智慧的能力(如同7级法师法术 启示vision),让她们能够在梦境中与他人交流(如同5级法师法术 托梦术drama)。或让她们看见肉眼所不能见的真实(如同5级祭司法术 真知术true seeing)。莎罕尼有时候会显现在被麻痹的、醉酒的或是昏迷的生物身上,让他们用任何了解的语言漫天诉说着随机的话题。(如同1级法师法术 梦语术dreamspeak,也被称为 德索的谵语术Detho's delirium,来自 《[[法师之页Pages from the Mages》或《法师万法大全:第一册Wizard's Spell Compendium, Volume I》)。这种显现值得注意的地方在于这不需要被显现者是莎罕尼的信徒,甚至可以不是一个精灵,尽管 光辉之云 只在现场至少有一名信徒的情况下如此显现。月之女神有时会显现在被咒语控制了的信徒的梦境或出神中,并解开咒语的效果(如同《法师万法大全:第二册Wizard's Spell Compendium, Volume Ⅱ》的6级法师法术 高等秘法之梦greater spelldream),她也会对中咒信徒的同行者说出神秘的预言。
The Mystic Seer's most common manifestations grant the recipients the ability to call on Sehanine's wisdom (as the 7th-level wizard spell vision), enable them to communicate through dreams to other beings (as the 5th-level wizard spell dream), or allow them to view truths otherwise unseen (as the 5th-level priest spell true seeing). Sehanine sometimes manifests in drugged, drunken, unconscious, or sleeping beings and causes them to ramble on about random topics in all languages known (as the 1st-level wizard spell dreamspeak, also known as Detho's delirium, from Pages from the Mages or the Wizard's Spell Compendium, Volume I). The foci of such a manifestations need not be worshipers or even elves, although the Luminous Cloud manifests as such only if at least one worshiper is present. The Goddess of the Moon sometimes manifests in enspelled worshipers when they are sleeping or in a trance state so as to unravel spell effects (as the 6th-level wizard spell greater spelldream from the Wizard's Spell Compendium, Volume 2) or to utter cryptic prophecies to those in attendance.
席德瑞恩诸神召集 天军神使agathinon、阿修罗asura 和古树人作为他们首选的仆人, 但莎罕尼也被阿斯莫aasimar,神使aasimon(特别是 光辉神使light),地深智蝠azmyths,贝诺巫妖baelnorn,人面马 buraq,妖精猫cath shee,精灵犬 cooshee,英灵战士 einheriar,雅灵eladrins,银金龙electrum dragons,精灵猫elven cats,四不像 feystags,焰星firestars(信徒们称之为 月下舞者moondancers),焰尾精firetails,霜灵frosts,霍莱象hollyphants,虔信与希望的化身incarnates of faith and hope,欢喜灵kholiathra,麒麟ki-rin,狼精灵 lythari,雾龙mist dragons,月犬 moon dogs,月马moon-horses,万面之云mortai,艾罗娜之子nic'Epona,皮克精pixies,光辉准位面元素 radiance quasielementals,精灵天卫reverend ones,喜乐妖精seelie faeries,银犬silver dogs,银龙silver dragons,仙灵sprites,欢乐蜓sunflies,泰速麟t'uen-rin,甚至是一两个提夫林所侍奉。 莎罕尼通过让信徒发现 秘银mithral、月长石moonbar moonstones、白银、日长石sunstones 矿物与让信徒目睹一片流星雨或是一颗坠星的降落来展现她对此者的喜爱。夜空之女也通过让月光只对使其不悦之人闪烁不停以展现自己的愤怒。
The Seldarine call on agathinon, asuras, and ancient treants as their preferred servants, but Sehanine is also served by aasimar, aasimon (particularly lights), azmyths, baelnorn, buraq, cath shee, cooshee, einheriar, eladrins, electrum dragons, elven cats, feystags, firestars (known as moondancers to the faithful), firetails, frosts, hollyphants, incarnates of faith and hope, kholiathra, ki-rin, lythari, mist dragons, moon dogs, moon-horses, mortal, nic'Epona, pixies, radiance quasielementals, reverend ones, seelie faeries, silver dogs, silver dragons, sprites, sunflies, t'uen-rin, and even a tiefling or two. She demonstrates her favor through the discovery of mithral, moonbar moonstones, silver, sunstones and the occurrence of a meteor shower c single fallen star. The Daughter of the Night Skies indicates her displeasur by causing the moon to appear to wink at the target of her wrath.

所有莎罕尼的牧师(包括半精灵兼职牧师),护教军,潜修者与专属祭司获得 宗教知识religion(精灵elf) 与 阅读/书写reading/writing(银精灵语Espruar) 作为额外的非武器熟练。若她们愿意,那么莎罕尼的祭司可以将法师法术 睡眠术sleep 作为她们的1环法术。她们施展此法术的施法时间为4而非1,除此之外与法师施法相同。
All clerics (including multiclassed half-elven clerics), crusaders, mystics and specialty priests of Sehanine receive religion (elf) and reading/writing (Espruar) as bonus nonweapon proficiencies. All priests of Sehanine ma' pray for and receive the 1st-level wizard spell sleep as one of their 1st-level spells if they desire. Their casting time for this spell is 4, not 1. All other aspects of the spell remain the same.
莎罕尼的教会通常被认为超脱于对日常琐事的担忧与外部的评价。因此,梦之女士与她的神职人员很少为 恩'泰'奎瑟一族N'Tel'Quess 所知。在精灵之中,莎罕尼的信仰被他们小心保密着、虔心热爱着,因为光辉之云怀抱、羁连着所有的 泰'奎瑟一族N'Tel'Quess。对于所有的优雅族裔,莎罕尼在精灵精魂的心中种下喜悦之种, 她的祭司引导着一个精灵前往下一世、下一生的超度之旅。
The Church of Sehanine is generally perceived as removed from the daily concerns and outward expression of everyday life. As such, little is known of the Lady of Dreams and her clergy members by the N'Tel'Quess Among elves, Sehanine's faith is closely held and deeply cherished, for th ( Luminous Cloud envelops and binds together all the Tel'Quessir. For the Fair Folk, Sehanine embodies the joy at the heart of the elven spirit, and her priests serve as guides to the next world or life that one may achieve through transcendence.
莎罕尼的神殿建立在只对精灵与一些虔诚的半精灵开放的高峻之处。这些神殿大都由白色的石料(经常是大理石)构成,其形状轻盈如同即欲飞上高空。莎罕尼地信众们喜爱建筑的对称性与在建筑中使用到的圆形,这也被信仰莎罕尼的建筑师家族们所表现了出来。 神殿的中心小教堂一般会是个完美的圆形,其穹顶向夜空敞开,或是只被一层可收回的,或是透明的屋顶所笼罩。主神殿之外,通常有宏伟的花园与绿篱墙组成的迷宫环绕,这代表了夜空之上的天体所行走的道路。在长期矗立的神殿附近,神殿中石环的巨石被精灵天文学家用来追踪月亮的轨迹,修正星辰与流星的位置。
Sehanine's temples are soaring monuments open only to elves and a few pious half-elves. Most such temples are constructed of white stone (often marble) and shaped so as to suggest imminent flight. Symmetry and circles are highly prized by the faith, reflected in the architecture of Sehanine's houses of worship. The central chapel is always perfectly circular and is usually open to the night sky or covered by a retractable or transparent dome. Great gardens and hedgerow mazes often encircle the main structure, their formations imitating the paths of the heavenly bodies in the night sky above. Near long-standing temples, megaliths form great stone circles for use in tracking the position of the moon, fixed stars, and wandering stars by elven astrologers.
莎罕尼的初修士被称为 月唤者mooncall。夜空之女的正式祭司被称为 天人Heavenly。随着阶级的提升,莎罕尼祭司的头衔如下:观星者Stargazer,月下舞者 Moondancer,天空先知Sky Seer,幻景探索者Vision Seeker, 预兆诉说者Omen Teller,梦行者Dream Walker,超度者Transcendentalist 和虔梦者Reverent Dreamer。高阶祭司通常拥有自己独特的头衔,而莎罕尼的专属祭司则被称为 星咏者starsinger。莎罕尼的神职人员由月精灵(54%)、金精灵(34%)、野精灵(5%)、半月精灵(4%)、半金精灵(4%)、半野精灵(1%)与一些(1%)黑暗精灵、翼精灵、海精灵与祖上是半精灵的人们组成。莎罕尼的神职人员构成为专属祭司(40%)、潜修者(35%)、牧师(25%),包括半精灵兼职牧师在内,以及护教军(5%)。担任莎罕尼的神职人员的男(48%)女(52%)比例几乎一样。
Novices of Sehanine are known as the Mooncalled. Full priests of the Daughter of the Night Skies are known as the Heavenly. In ascending order of rank, the titles used by Sehanite priests are Stargazer, Moondancer, Sky Seer, Vision Seeker, Omen Teller, Dream Walker, Transcendentalist and Reverent Dreamer. High-ranking priests have unique individual titles. Specialty priests are known as starsingers. The clergy of Sehanine includes moon elves (54%), gold elves (34%), wild elves (5%), half-moon elves (4%), half-gold elves (1%), and half-wild elves (1%), and a handful (1%) of dark elves, sea elves, winged elves, and half-elves of those ancestries. Sehanine's clergy includes Specialty Priests(40%), mystics (35%), clerics (20%), including multiclassed half-elven clerics, and crusaders (5%) and the priesthood is nearly evenly split between females (52%) and males (48%).

生命就是一串本质奥秘被光辉之云所遮掩的谜团。当我等精魂超脱出凡躯之时,谜团便会揭晓,上道会被成就,而生命之轮回将续。通过沉思与冥想,你便能与梦之女士沟通。夜空之女通过睡眠或醒梦之中的梦境、启示与预兆,向你揭示你当行的道路,你在生死奥秘之轮回中的位置。尊崇月之奥秘,因为明月既牵动着潮起潮落,亦牵动着离开世间的亡者们。
Life is series of mysteries whose secrets are veiled by the Luminous Cloud. As the spirit transcends its mortal bounds and new mysteries are uncovered, a higher form is achieved and the cycle of life continues. Through contemplation and meditation, communion with the Lady of Dreams is achieved. Through dreams, visions, and omens revealed in sleep or the reverie, the Daughter of the Night Sky unveils the next step along the path and the next destination on the endless journey of mystic wonder that is life and death and life. Revere the mysterious moon, who draws forth tides or being from us all.
日常活动Day-to-Day Activities:
莎罕尼的祭司是精灵社会中的先知与潜修者。他们为精灵与半精灵解答着关于精魂的问题,为那些踏上寻求启示之途以寻求超越自我者提供引导。作为死者的引导者与保护者,莎罕尼的祭司们组织、主持葬礼并保护着死者的遗体。她们搜索并摧毁不死生物,因为莎罕尼痛恨着这些渎神之物——值得注意的是,唯有贝诺巫妖与其他自愿侍奉其种族而延长生命的善良阵营不死生物是例外。作为精灵家园的护卫者,莎罕尼的祭司们有责任编织并维持那些保卫着仅存的庇护所的幻象并预言那些会威胁到她们长久生存的潜在威胁。在外冒险的莎罕尼祭司的主要任务是回收失落的奥法与魔法知识,尤其是在这些知识是关于幻术/预言魔法之时。其他的祭司则寻找着与世隔绝的精灵聚居地,带给他们大撤退的消息并帮助他们为这种旅途做准备,如果他们愿意撤退的话。(莎罕尼的祭司不会对旅途本身做出任何指引,因为这些指引会由梦之女士本尊通过直接地启示来达成。)
Sehanine's priests are the seers and mystics of elven society. They serve as the spiritual counselors to elves and half-elves who seek to embark on journeys in search of enlightenment so as to transcend their current state of being. As shepherds and protectors of the dead, Sehanine's priests organize and administer funeral rites and guard the remains of the fallen. They seek out and destroy undead creatures, for Sehanine holds such creatures-with the notable exceptions of baelnorn and other good-aligned undead beings who voluntarily prolong their existence in order to serve their kin-to be blasphemous. As defenders of elven homelands, Sehanine's clergy are responsible for weaving and maintaining the illusions that guard those sanctuaries that remain and for divining potential threats to their continued existence. The prime task of adventuring priests is the retrieval of lost arcane and magical knowledge, especially if it pertains to illusions and/or divinations. Other seek out isolated elven enclaves, bringing them news of the Retreat and practical assistance in preparing for such a journey if they so choose. (Sehanine's priests do not provide any guidance along the journey itself, as this is done through direct intuitive revelation by the Lady of Dreams herself.)
圣日/重要仪式Holy Days/Important Ceremonies:
莎罕尼的信徒为许多圣日举行庆典,这些圣日全都与不同天体所处的位置有关,月之面相与食相则尤为重要。大部分这些庆典每十年、每百年乃至于每千年举行一次。 罕尼的信众最常举行的仪式在满月光辉的笼罩下、每月举行一次。露娜筵Lunar Hallowings,以其将个人的出神集合起来以融入到集体的出神中而闻名。这种时候,莎罕尼会通过她聚集在一起的信众们显现,将他们的精魂编在一起,让他们感受到真正的万众一心。这种圣日会以一场在月之女神最显目的显现(月亮)下进行的一场自由舞蹈告终,而这场舞蹈将持续至黎明的第一缕曙光降临。每年一次,莎罕尼的信众们聚集在 月宴节the Feast of the Moon,举行献给 光辉之云奥秘仪式the Mystic Rites of the Luminous Cloud。光辉之云的神秘仪式与每月举行一次的露娜筵有许多相似之处,但其不同之处在于,梦之女士在她信徒身旁可见的显现将进一步化为一道银色的闪亮帐幕,这道银光随后升起,直直飞向夜空。在这跨越天空的神秘旅途中,仪式的参与者会收到来自莎罕尼的神秘,每一个参与者在此中学会的奥秘与其最近的精魂成长程度相符。在这道灵光回归大地,信众们的形体融为一体时,这个仪式便在此告终。
Sehanine's faithful celebrate a wide variety of holy days, all of which are tied to the position of various heavenly bodies, particularly the phase of the moon and various types of eclipses. Many of these celebrations occur once per decade, once per century, or even once per millennium. The most frequent celebrations of Sehanine's faithful are held monthly beneath the light of the full moon. Lunar Hallowings, as such holy days are known, are marked with personal meditation and collective entrance into a communal trance. On occasion, Sehanine manifests through her assembled worshipers, knitting together their spirits in a true sharing of minds. Such holy days are concluded with a joyous freeform dance beneath the most visible manifestation of the Goddess of Moonlight (the moon) that lasts until the first rays of dawn. Once per year, Sehanine's faithful gather on the night of the Feast of the Moon for the Mystic Rites of the Luminous Cloud. Similar in many ways to the monthly Lunar Hallowings, the Mystic Rites of the Luminous Cloud are notable for the visible manifestation of the Lady of Dreams whereby the assembled worshipers are enveloped in a mantle of shimmering, silvery light that then rises up and darts across the heavens. During such mystical flights across the sky, the sacred mysteries of Sehanine are revealed to the participants, with each participant learning secrets appropriate to his current level of spiritual development. The ceremony concludes when the nimbus of light returns to the earth and the forms of Sehanine's worshipers coalesce.
当一个精灵临近告别凡间的家园并前往阿梵纳丝的时辰时,不要为这个精灵花费数天沉浸于生动的白日梦与醒梦之中。任何精灵都不知道自己的这个时辰何时会到来,哪怕是莎罕尼自己的祭司也不知道。其他精灵可以轻松看出某个精灵正在经历这种变化,但是只有两件标志性事件显示着超度最终开始了。首先,莎罕尼给予一个精灵他或她必须启程离开这个世界的启示。第二,这个精灵的水晶体中会显现出标志性的浑浊乳白色新月型眼翳,这便是莎罕尼的全称尊名中的“月弓moonbow”。当一个精灵下定智慧与决心以与尘世分离之时,天空上的月弓之旁会显现出一轮满月。极少数这种情况下,其他精灵能够与即将分别的精灵一同加入到共享的出神之中,他们将通过被称为 超度之环Circle of Transcendence 的心灵感应分享彼此的记忆与知识。在有的精灵文化中,这种分离是物理意义上的分离,即将离去的精灵独自一人走入无人的荒野之中,他的躯体从此不为任何人所见。又在其他一些社会中,精灵的精魂与肉体分离,只留下一具了无生机的躯壳。
When the time comes for an elf to leave the ordinary lands of mortals and pass on to Arvanaith, it is common for the individual elf to spend several days in vivid daydreams and waking reverie. Exactly when this happens is unknown to any elf, even to Sehanine's own priests. It is usually obvious to other elves when one of the Tel'Quessir is undergoing this change, but two marker events are definitive indicating that the Transcendence has begun. First, Sehanine sends the elf a vision where she or he must go to begin this journey from the world. Second, within the lens of the elf's eye appears a telltale opaque milky crescent, the moonbow of Sehanine's honorific name. When the time comes for an elf great in wisdom and accomplishment to depart, an accompanying full moon may display the moonbow as an event in nature. On rare occasions at such a rime, other elves join with the one about to depart in a shared trance state, sharing memories and knowledge in a direct telepathic communion known as the Circle of Transcendence. In some elven cultures this departure is a physical one, that is the elf walks off alone into the wilderness and his or her body is never found. In other societies, the elf's spirit departs its material body, leaving behind a lifeless husk.
当一个精灵由于意外或暴力而死,其精魂尚未完全毁灭之时,莎罕尼的祭司将以超度仪式代替那个精灵使其精魂消逝。一道忆起仪式包括花费一天或数天时间来冥想以及与自然精魂世界进行神秘地交流。若仪式成功,这位祭司就能将这个迷途的精魂通过自己与莎罕尼的连接而将这个精魂与它连接,以此将这个精魂超度向 阿梵纳丝Arvanaith。仪式之中,在探查完迷途的精魂后,莎罕尼的祭司双眼之中的水晶体将显现出标志性的月弓,但梦之女士的这种显现将会在仪式结束后立刻消失。
In cases of violent or accidental death where the spirit is not utterly destroyed, Sehanine's priests serve in the stead of the departed spirit in the ritual of Transcendence. A Ceremony of Recovery involves one or more days of meditation and mystic communion with the natural and spiritual worlds. If successful, the priest channels the lost spirit through his or her own link with Sehanine, enabling the spirit to transcend to Arvanaith. During such ceremonies, after contacting the lost spirit, Sehanine's priests display the characteristic moonbow within the lens of their eyes, but such manifestations of the Lady of Dreams vanish immediately upon the ritual's conclusion.
在不同的社区乃至于对于不同的个体,精灵的葬礼形式多种多样,因葬礼映射了消逝之精魂的本质。若一个精灵直接回应了莎罕尼的呼唤,那么不同于死于暴力或意外,逝者仪式更像是一场庆祝这个精灵能够享受阿梵纳丝之极乐的庆典而非一段悲伤的时光。无论是哪种情况,若逝者的遗体留在了凡间。那么后人如何处置它是自由的。在有的社区中,聚集于一起的送葬者们用盛大的仪式来将遗体送入地下,遗体旁还会展示能够代表这位已逝精灵的艺术与爱情的物品。又有其他的精灵社区会迅速地把遗体埋入地下,仅仅待其如一具生命力已经消逝的躯壳。处置完这具躯体后,他们会为曾经旅居于这具躯体中的精灵精魂而庆祝。还有一些精灵相信只有将躯体焚烧,才能切断精魂与凡间的羁连。这么做不仅仅让精魂能自由地回到阿梵纳丝,更能防止这具躯体被拿来用作恶毒之事。
Elven funeral rites vary widely from community to community and from individual to individual, reflecting the nature of the departed spirit. If the elf has simply answered Sehanine's call, as opposed to death by accident or violence, death rituals are more often a celebration that the elf has achieved the joys of Arvanaith than a time of mourning. In either case, if the body remains, the method of disposal varies as well. In some communities, the assembled mourners gather with great pomp to watch the body be interred in the ground, with examples of the late elf's artistry and passions displayed and speakers expounding on the merits of the deceased. Other elven societies bury the body immediately, regarding it as a mere husk from which the life force has departed. After disposing of the shell, they celebrate the spirit of the elf who once resided there. Still other elves believe that burning is the only way to truly rid the spirit of its earthly ties. Not only does it free the spirit for Arvanaith, it also prevents anyone from using the body for nefarious purposes.
那些为其逝者的遗体之安葬举行盛大典礼的精灵文明遗留下了考据精灵葬礼的最坚实的资料,而从此可看出,精灵并不像他人认为的那样那么广泛地将尸体埋在正式的坟墓。所有居住在费伦的精灵亚种之中,遗留于大陆上的金精灵与一小部分月精灵会在他们死后被埋葬,但这种习俗哪怕在他们所属的亚种中也不再常见,精灵的墓穴一般由基岩塑造,由强大的魔法来守护。粗壮族裔们一般相信机械构造的陷阱能够保证他们陨落的同胞们在地下的安息,而优雅族裔们则将防护的壁罩织入墓穴的结构中,避免使用假墓与更进一步的金属陷阱。据说,光辉之云将精灵的墓穴们拥于胸前,用持续长久的,能够混淆墓穴实际位置并误导会打扰到精灵死者的掘墓者的幻象遮蔽墓穴。精灵的墓穴一般分为三个部分,每个部分会是有着弧顶的圆形或长方形房间,或者是半圆柱型的小室。第一间房间代表了精灵与之诀别的凡世,其中雕满了植物、动物与林地间的物品。一池被施展了魔法以防止蒸发或淤塞的清水安置与第一间房间的中央。第二间房间放置了安葬有逝去精灵遗体的石棺。优雅族裔鲜少将他们的死者放在石棺之中,除非这具遗体已经不堪目睹,因为他们认为这么做阻止了精灵的精魂自由地飞往阿梵纳丝。第二间石室的墙壁上装饰有逝去精灵生前留给世间的一切,天顶上则雕刻了这个精灵死去的那一刻,天上万星的模样。(根据可辨认的记载,贤者们有时候可以辨认出一个精灵墓穴的时代。)第三间石室代表了阿梵纳丝,精灵们精魂所往之处。房间的墙壁上刻画了席德瑞恩诸神的群像(精灵文化会认为是席德瑞恩诸神铸造了这个墓穴)。天花板上则雕刻了一轮新月居于满月之中的图像,象征了柯瑞隆与莎罕尼(或安格芮丝)在监护着精灵精魂回到阿梵纳丝之中的消息所担任的角色。除此之外,第三间房间空无它物,但是进入到这里的人会压倒性地感受到踏入了一处伟地的感觉。这并非魔法的效果,而是席德瑞恩诸神在此聚集的显现。在精灵墓穴的第三间房间之中,任何暴力的动作乃至于念头都不会出现。精灵鲜少把魔法物品与其他贵重物品一同与逝去的精灵葬下,因为它们对尚未前往阿梵纳丝的精灵还可能有用。然而,远古的精灵墓穴中有时会有精灵工艺的造物,其中包括了被埋葬于此的精灵所发明的法术与所制作的魔法物品。有时候一个家族的精灵会被埋葬在一座墓中,这种情况下众多的墓室会共享第一间房间,而第二、第三间房间则存放各自的遗体并代表了精魂所往之处。
Elven cultures that bury the bodies of the fallen with great ceremony leave the most durable archeological evidence of their funeral rites, and thus the practice of interring the bodies of elven dead in formal tombs is less widespread than commonly perceived. Of all the elven subraces resident in Faerûn, the remains of gold elves, and to a lesser extent moon elves, are most commonly interred within burial vaults, but that practice is by no means universal within those subraces, nor is it restricted to them alone. Elven tombs are typically hewn from bedrock and warded by powerful magic. Whereas the Stout Folk typically trust in mechanical traps to ensure the sanctity of their fallen kin, the Fair Folk weave protective mantles into the construction of tombs and eschew false tombs and extended gauntlets of traps. The Luminous Cloud is said to gather elven tombs to her bosom, and most are cloaked in enduring illusions designed to obfuscate their location and to mislead grave robbers who would violate the sanctity of the elves interred within. Elven tombs are typically subdivided into three chambers, each of which is of circular or rectangular shape with an arching dome-shaped or semicylindrical ceiling, respectively. The first such chamber represents the world from which the elf has departed and is dominated by carvings of the natural world including plants and animals from sylvan settings. Commonly a pool of crystalline water, enspelled so as to prevent evaporation or stagnation, is set in the center of the first chamber. The second chamber is dominated by a stone bier on which rests the body of the fallen elf. The Fair Folk rarely place their dead within a sarcophagus unless the body is badly mauled, as they feel to do so restricts the freedom of the spirit in Arvanaith. The walls of the second chamber are adorned with examples of the fallen elf's gifts, and the ceiling is carved with a depiction of the heavens as they were at the time of the elf's death. (By analyzing such records, sages are sometimes able to date the age of a particular elven tomb.) The third chamber represents Arvanaith, the destination of the elf's spirit. The walls of the chamber are carved with depictions of the Seldarine (as the pantheon is perceived in the culture that created the tomb). The ceiling is carved with a stylized depiction of a crescent moon within a full moon, symbolizing the combined role of Corellon and Sehanine (or Angharradh) in overseeing the passage of the spirit to Arvanaith. The third chamber is otherwise empty, but all who enter are overwhelmed with a feeling of great peace. This is not a magical effect but a collective manifestation of the Seldarine. Violent action or thought is impossible within the third chamber of an elven tomb. Items of magic and other riches are rarely entombed within an elven tomb when they could be better used by those elves who have not yet journeyed to Arvanaith. Nevertheless, ancient elven tombs are sometimes filled with artifacts of elven artistry, including examples of magical items or spells developed by the elf interred within the tomb. Sometimes the elves of a single house are interred within the same crypt. In such cases the first chamber may be shared by the individual tombs, with the second and third chamber housing the body of the fallen and representing the destination of the spirit.
主要崇拜中心Major Centers of Worship:
献给莎罕尼的最雄伟的神殿可能建立在绿郁之岛之上,或是屹立于 艾弗瑞思卡谷Vale of Evereska 山谷之间,又或许隐匿于 精灵王庭the Elven Court 的树木之中,但是最虔诚地崇敬梦之女士的地点乃是 阿罗梵之泪the Tears of Aloevan。这是一团团通过一池神秘之水与此世连接的,位于 阿迪普森林Ardeep Forest 深处的神秘幽林峡谷之中的超世魔力。就像同时侍奉着密斯特拉与伊莉丝翠的黑暗精灵 葵露·维拉多伦Qilue Veladorn 一样,阿罗梵Aloevan 曾经是莎罕尼与密斯特拉的双重选民。这位月精灵女王的因为无法控制在她体内肆虐的银火而陷入的疯狂以及接踵而至的死亡对于这一地区所有的优雅族裔、人类与亚人而言都是个悲惨的损失。在她死后,阿罗梵的精魂没能前往阿梵纳丝,而是被一团悬浮与费伦与阿梵多之间的银火所困。为了安抚已经做出了巨大牺牲的女王的疯狂,七位莎罕尼祭司建立了凡间与女王的精魂被困于的精神边境之间的联系。几个世纪以来,莎罕尼的祭司们谨慎地抚慰着疯后的痛苦,为此,他们用阿罗梵早已无法控制的银火在这处口袋次元中再现了阿迪普王国早已失落的王庭。阿罗梵的精魂现在能够在 银火王庭the Court of Silver Fire,也就是这处神秘神殿,之中显现为一个幽灵般的琴手,但她的大笑与哭泣之中充满了疯狂,只有七位祭司的抚慰能够让她维持住仅有的理智。在日蚀之刻,阿迪普的深谷与银火王庭之间便能够传递信息。这时,一位莎罕尼的祭司就能在莎罕尼的要求下前往银火王庭以替代一位准备回到阿梵纳丝的精灵。虽然已经有很多人被认为进入了阿罗梵的王庭,但没有谁回来后讲述过任何事情,因此,没人知道被莎罕尼呼唤到王庭之中的精灵有没有哪怕一个祭司成功了。
While the largest temples of Sehanine are found on the Green Isle, in the Vale of Evereska, and in the woods of the Elven Court, the site most sacred to the Lady of Dreams is the Tears of Aloevan. This is an otherworldly cloud of magic accessed through a mystical pool of water found in an unearthly sylvan glen at the heart of Ardeep Forest. Much like the dark elf Qilue Veladorn serves both Mystra and Eilistraee today, Aloevan was once the Chosen of both Sehanine and the Lady of Mysteries. The moon elven queen's descent into madness and her eventual death was a tragic loss for both the Fair Folk and the other human and demihuman races of the region caused by her inability to control the silver fire that raged within her. Upon her death, Aloevan's spirit was unable to pass on to Arvanaith and was instead enmeshed within a nimbus of silver fire that hovered between Faerûn and Arvandor. To assuage the madness of their queen who had sacrificed so much, seven priests of Sehanine created a link between the natural world and the spiritual limbo in which Aloevan's spirit was trapped. For centuries, Sehanine's priests have labored to ease the torment of the mad queen and in the process have recreated the long-lost court of Ardeep within the pocket dimension formed from the silver fire Aloevan could no longer control. Aloevan's spirit is now capable of manifesting in a form similar to that of a spectral harpist within the Court of Silver Fire, as the mystic temple is known, but her laughter and tears are tinged with madness and only the beneficence of the seven priests enables her to hold on to the vestiges of her sanity. During times of a solar eclipse, passage between the glen in Ardeep Forest and the Court of Silver Fire is possible. At such times a priest of Sehanine may make his or her way to Aloevan's mystical court at Sehanine's request to replace one of the seven priests who is ready to pass on to Arvanaith. Although many others have sought entrance to Aloe-van's court, none have returned to tell the tale, so it is unknown if any who were not called there by Sehanine have ever succeeded.
从属组织Affiliated Orders:
七圣之密骑士团The Knights of the Seven Sacred Mysteries 因其致力于从非精灵入侵者手中保护精灵的家园与不断取回陨落精灵国度的废墟中,早已失传的精灵卷轴或精灵工艺的物品而闻名。骑士团主要由精灵与祖上是日精灵/月精灵的半精灵组成,其阶级构成中包括许许多多的护教军与一些牧师、战士与游侠。加入骑士团的要求对非成员保密,但是他人普遍知道骑士团一共分为七个阶级,而新的密仪要在对莎罕尼长达一个世纪或更久的侍奉中才能被揭示。初始密仪之骑士Knights of the First Mystery 是骑士团中阶级最低的成员,而 第七密仪之骑士Knight of the Seventh Mystery 则是诸国度之上莎罕尼最强大的代理人。从来没有哪个半精灵升到了 第四密仪之骑士Knight of the Fourth Mystery 以上的阶级,对此尚不知是因为在骑士团中提升阶级的难度过大,骑士团中半精灵太少还是因为这是一种对其人类祖先的偏见的表现。骑士团的高阶神职者家族能够在永聚岛上的 鲁斯城Ruith、艾弗瑞思卡的山谷中与 精灵之森the Elven Woods 之中的聚居地 缠树村the Tangled Trees 中找到。
The Knights of the Seven Sacred Mysteries are well known for their service in defense of elven homelands from N'Tel'Quess invaders as well as their ongoing efforts to retrieve tomes of long-lost elvish lore and items of elven artistry from the ruins of fallen realms. The order is composed of elves and a few half-elves, most of whom are of moon elven or gold elven ancestry, and it includes many crusaders, as well as a handful of clerics, fighters, and rangers, in its ranks. The order's entrance REQUIREMENTS are kept secret from nonmembers, but it is generally known that there are seven tiers in the order's hierarchy and that it can take a century or more of faithful service to Sehanine before the next mystery is revealed. Knights of the First Mystery are the lowest ranking members of the order, while Knights of the Seventh Mystery are some of the most powerful agents of Sehanine in the Realms. No half-elf has ever risen higher than the rank of Knight of the Fourth Mystery, but it is not known if that fact indicates the difficulty of ascending the order's rarefied ranks and the small representation of half-elves in the order or if it is a manifestation of a bias against those who have some degree of N'Tel'Quess ancestry. The order's preeminent chapter houses are found in the city of Ruith on Evermeet, the Vale of Evereska, and amidst the Tangled Trees settlement of the Elven Woods.
月弓哨卫The Sentinels of the Moonbow 是一小组宣誓效忠忠诚于月光女神的游侠。他们看护着那些转生成动物的形态,并可能再次获得精灵的形态的古老精灵精魂。这些侍奉莎罕尼的游侠同样发誓要寻找并摧毁那些腐蚀着大地的不死生物。
The Sentinels of the Moonbow are a small fellowship of rangers pledged to the service of the Goddess of Moonlight. Sentinels watch over animals that may hold the reincarnated spirits of elves of ages past and that may once again assume elven form. These rangers in the service of Sehanine are also pledged to the tracking and destruction of undead creatures whose existence is a blight upon the land.
蒙面圣诗会The Veiled Choir 是一群真实存在由传奇、奥秘与谜团所遮掩的神秘女团契。蒙面圣诗会的姊妹因她们预言未来的能力而享有盛名,她们所看到的启示会在一阵久不止息的合唱中被揭示。这些古老精灵先知只有一部分被相信还存留于世,她们居住在梦之女士古老到甚至已经被优雅族裔所遗忘的神殿中。外出冒险的年轻精灵们总是会尝试去寻找这些女祭司们所处的神谕之地,有意思的是,她们没有任何一人处于翠郁之岛之上。一位幸运而坚韧的精灵在十分幸运的情况下能够遇见蒙面圣诗会的一员,而那些仅仅是追随着圣诗会员留在世间的痕迹的精灵却总无法找到她们。抵达一位圣诗会会员的圣所的报酬往往会是来自光辉之云的一道祝福与一道需要接受者穷尽一生以解开其丝线的谜团。
The Veiled Choir is a mysterious sisterhood of elven mystics whose very existence is obscured by a veil of legend, mystery, and rumor. Sisters of the Veiled Choir are renowned for their prophetic ability, and their visions are revealed in an unending chorus of song. Only a handful of these ancient elven seers are believed to exist, residing in ancient temples of the Lady of Dreams whose very existence has long been forgotten by even the Fair Folk. Young elves in search of adventure often attempt to find the sisterhood's oracular redoubts of which, curiously, none are located on the Green Isle. On rare occasions a lucky and persistent elf discovers a Veiled Cantoria, but those who seek to simply follow in their footsteps always fail in their quest. The reward for reaching a sanctuary of the Veiled Choir is always the blessing of the Luminous Cloud and a mysterious prophecy, the unraveling of which may consume the rest of the recipient s life.
祭司的祭服Priestly Vestments:
莎罕尼的神职人员喜爱银白色的半透明女长衣(女祭司)或宽长袍(男祭司)。他们额前佩戴银色的头冠,眉间之上戴着一块悬系着的 月长石moonstone pendant。他们足穿凉鞋,腰间系着一条银色的丝带。他们的圣徽是一块被塑为扁平圆碟的月长石(直径大约3英呎),以一条精致的银链或秘银链挂在脖子上。
Members of Sehanine's clergy favor silvery-white diaphanous gowns (for the priestesses) and togas (for the priests). A silver diadem is worn on the head, oftentimes with a moonstone pendant dangling above the brow. Simple sandals are worn on the feet, and a silver lace sash is worn around the waist. The holy symbol of the faith is a moonbar crystal carved in the shape of a small flat disk (approximately three inches in diameter), and such devices are often worn around the neck on a delicate-looking silver or mithral chain.
冒险装束Adventuring Garb:
夜空之女的祭司在盔甲上偏爱皮甲,并且会携带没有装饰的、前端如被打磨过一样闪着镜面光芒的小圆盾。他们的护甲一般被装饰地如同梦幻一样,反映着穿戴者本人的魅力与情感。高阶祭司则因他们喜爱的精制精灵链甲或精灵板甲而闻名,尽管这些盔甲有许多随着密斯卓诺的陷落而下落不明。莎罕尼地神职人员喜爱远程武器,尤其是长弓以及短弓,他们同样喜欢木杖。月光法杖staff of moonlight 与 流星戒指ring of shootingstar 则尤其被看重。
Priests of the Daughter of the Night Skies favor mail over leather armor, and most carry round shields whose unadorned, reflective fronts are polished mirror bright. Such armor is typically fancifully adorned, emphasizing the grace and bearing of the wearer. Senior priests are well known for the elaborate suits of elven chain mail or elven plate mail they favor, although many such suits were lost with the fall of Myth Drannor. Sehanine's clergy favor missile weapons, particularly short and longbows, and staves. Staffs of the moonlight and rings of shooting stars are particularly prized.

月光纤尘Motes of Moonlight
(祭司Pr 1;转化Alteration)
领域Sphere:太阳Sun
距离Range:0
成分Components:言语V,姿势S

这道法术会往施法者所指的方向创造出一道闪耀的银色光迹。这道光辉制造的亮度同等于一道月光,任何站立在 月光纤尘motes of moonlight 中的莎罕尼祭司视作她们正站在满月的光辉中。在这道光束之外的,处在黑暗中的物件能够被看见,但最多只能看到一道模糊而虚幻的外轮廓。法术能够在最大范围内的任意一点被指定,每施法者等级10呎范围,且他或她在施法时必须对目标点有不被阻碍的视线。光束从施法者的圣徽处释放。一旦被释放,月光纤尘 便会固定在那个位置,哪怕施法者与圣徽移动到了别处。施法者可以以口头命令解除 月光纤尘。
This spell creates a trail of shimmering, silvery lights in the direction pointed by the caster. The beam of light thus caused is equal in brightness to a shaft of moonlight, and any priest of Sehanine standing among the motes of moonlight is treated as if they were bathed in the light of a full moon. Objects in darkness beyond this beam can be seen, at best, as vague and shadowy shapes. The spell is targeted at any fixed point within range of the beam's terminus, 10 feet per level of the caster, and she or he must have a line of sight or unobstructed path to that point when the spell is cast. The beam starts at the caster's holy symbol. Once cast, motes of moonlight hang in place, even if the target or holy symbol is then moved. The caster can dismiss the motes on command.
这道法术经常在新月之夜时或在月光无法触及的地方释放,接续一道显现在纤尘区域中的 月之桥mocmbridge。
This spell is often used in conjunction with a mocmbridge incantation in regions where the moon's light does not reach and on nights of the new moon.
3rd Level
侦测精魂Detect Spirits

这道预言法术能够揭示所有种类的没有实体、虚无缥缈的精魂,包括缚灵、鬼魂、幽灵、星界投射中的生物、使用 魔魂壶magic jar 或被 魔魂壶 影响的怪物或角色、动物与自然灵体。仅仅是隐形的、变形的或是以太化的角色或怪物不会被侦测出来,因为他们虽然状态不正常,他们仍有血肉的形体存在。施法者能够侦测10呎宽60呎长的路径内所有的精魂;影响范围内所有上述的精魂将会被揭示出他们首先的形态以显现给其他人观察。仅仅对精魂进行侦测并不会给予施法者任何伤到或与之交流的能力。
This divination reveals the presence of disembodied or noncorporeal spirits of all types, including wraiths, ghosts, spectres, astrally projecting creatures, characters or monsters employing magic jar or possession, and animal and nature spirits. Characters or monsters who are simply invisible, phased, or ethereal do not count as spirits, since they are physically present in the flesh despite their unusual status. The caster detects spirits in a path 10 feet wide and 60 feet long; any spirits of the type described above in the area of effect are revealed in their preferred form or appearance for all to see. Simply detecting a spirit does not give the caster any special ability to communicate with or attack the entity.
这道法术的材料成分是一条至少值20gp的小铜线吊坠。

The material component for this spell is a small pendant of copper wire worth at least 20 gp.

月之弓Moonbow
(祭司Pr 4;转化Alteration)
领域Sphere:太阳Sun
距离Range:0

持续时间Duration:1 轮/2级
施法时间Casting Time:7
影响区域Area of Effect:特殊Special
豁免检定Saving Throw:无None
这道法术创造出一把水晶般剔透的弓,其拥有长弓或短弓的外形与力量,在施法时由施法者决定。一道纤细的银色光线构成其弓弦,而当它被拉开的时候,一支闪耀的银色箭矢会魔法地出现在合适的位置。
This spell creates a crystalline bow the size and strength of a long bow or short bow, as chosen by the caster during the casting. A thin beam of silvery light serves as the bowstring and, when it is drawn back causes a shimmering, silver arrow to magically appear in the proper position.
只有施法者本人可以使用被这道法术创造出的水晶之弓,若这把弓因任何原因被施法者放下,那么它会散作一道持续飞舞1d4+1回合的光辉云彩,随后消失为无物。每回合,这道弓最多可以朝它射程内的目标射出两道光束。每道光束的飞行尾迹都会由一道 月光纤尘motes of moonlight(如同一级同名牧师神术,但是只持续1d4+1回合)描绘而出。想让由 月之弓 射出的光束击中对手,施法者必须成功命中对方。无论命中与否,被射出的光箭会如同上述水晶弓的消失一般消散。月之弓 成功命中后造成的效果取决于目标的生物类型。
Only the caster can employ the crystalline bow created by means of this spell, and it fades into a luminous cloud that dances about for 1d4+1 rounds and then vanishes into nothingness if released for any reason. At most, two shafts from the bow can be fired per round at any target within range. Each shaft trails a stream of motes of moonlight (as the 1st-level spell of the same name but lasting only 1d4+1 rounds) delineating the path of flight. A successful attack roll is required to hit an opponent with a shaft fired by the moonbow. After any attack, whether it hits or misses, the arrow fired vanishes in a fashion similar to the crystalline bow, as described above.
若箭矢飞入魔法的 黑暗术 区域,那么它会将黑暗的效果抵消,但这样的话除了上述的 月光纤尘 尾迹以外,箭矢不会造成其他效果。对抗一个活物时,箭矢视作为来自正能量位面的一道能量束并造成7d4点伤害。对抗一个使用着来自负能量位面的力量,或本身就是那个内层位面稀少的原住民之一的不死生物,月之弓 的光束造成14d4点伤害并且会让目标沐浴在一阵持续1d4+1轮的银色的 妖火faerie fire 之下。(对单个不死生物的多次成功攻击不会让他身上的妖火效果翻倍,但是若后到的箭矢造成的妖火的持续时间比先到的久,那么妖火的持续时间立刻延长至后到的。)一道月光束对使用正能量位面力量的不死生物(比如木乃伊)造成每等级7d4点伤害,但没有其它效果。
The effects of a successful hit with a moonbow vary depending the type of the target. If shot into a region of magical darkness, the arrow negates the effect but otherwise does nothing but trail the aforementioned motes of moonlight. Against a living creature, a moonshaft acts as a bolt of energy from the Positive Material Plane, inflicting 7d4 points of damage. Against undead creatures who draw their power from the Negative Material Plane and rare natives of that Inner Plane, a moonshoft inflicts 14d4 points of damage and bathes the target in silvery faerie fire for 1d4+1 rounds. (Multiple successful attacks against a single undead creature do not double the effectiveness of the faerie fire effect, but instead simply extend the effect if the additional period ends later than the first.) Against undead creatures who draw their power from the Positive Material Plane (such as mutritfties) and rare natives of that Inner Plane, a moonshaft cures 7d4 points of damage per level, but otherwise has no effect.
这道法术的材料成分是这个祭司的圣徽与一张由在满月下聚集的露水涂抹,由银色丝线编织而成的网。
The material components of this spell are the priest's holy symbol and the silken thread of a cobweb coated in dew gathered beneath the light of the full moon.
月之桥Moonbridge
(祭司Pr 4;转化Alteration)
领域Sphere:太阳Sun
距离Range:120 码yards
成分Components:言语V,姿势S,材料M
持续时间Duration:1 轮/级round/level
施法时间Casting Time:7
影响区域Area of Effect:特殊Special
豁免检定Saving Throw:无None
这道法术会将一道月光转化为能够支援善良阵营生物的半透明的桥,无论月光是天然的还是被魔法创造的(比如说由一道 月光纤尘motes of moonlight 法术)。中立阵营的存在也能够行走在 月之桥Moonbridge 上,只要他们与施法者有着直接地物理接触(或者通过一条链子的一段互相连接,但至少有一名连接中的成员要与祭司有身体接触)。邪恶阵营的存在则会发现这座桥与皎洁的月光一样缥缈无形。在没有向特定方向播撒的月光之下,施法者能够以他或她的位置为原点在任何方向上创造出 月之桥,只要 月之桥 的全长都在月光之下且没有受到干扰。
This spell transforms a shaft of moonlight, whether it be naturally occurring or magically created (such as by a motes of moonlight spell), into a translucent bridge capable of supporting beings of good alignment. Beings of neutral alignment can also walk atop a moonbridge as long as they stay in direct physical contact with the caster (or form part of a chain, of which at least one member must be in physical contact with the priest). Evilly aligned beings find moonbridges as insubstantial as moonlight. In areas bathed in moonlight with no distinctive shafts of light, the caster can create a moonbridge from his or her location at the time in any direction, as long as the entire length of the moonbridge is bathed in moonlight without interruption.
一道 月之桥 宽最多三呎,长最小二十呎,尽管它能随着施法者的意愿而延伸至120码的距离。法术会一直持续到持续时间结束或施法者命令它消失。月之桥 的倾斜角和方向如上所述有所不同。
A moonbridge is at most 3 feet wide and at least 20 feet long, although it can extend as far as 120 yards, according to the caster s desire. It lasts as long as the spell's duration or until ordered out of existence by the caster. The angle of inclination and direction of the moonbridge varies as noted above.
这道法术的材料成分是祭司的圣徽与一瓶在满月的光辉下放了6个多小时的圣水。
The material components of this spell are the priest's holy symbol and a vial of holy water that has been bathed in the light of the last full moon for at least 6 consecutive hours.
