2e<Monster Mythology.p097>前言Introduction（节选）

　　纳迦女王 雪金尼斯特Shekinester 是一位三面女神，有着守序善良、混乱邪恶和绝对中立的面相。她神临为少女、老妇和成年女性形态。纳迦女神盘缠在她光之廷Court of Light 的厅堂中，这条伟大的智慧巨蛇一如埃欧那样，具现了实用的智慧。

2e<Monster Mythology.p103>雪金尼斯特Shekinester（强大女神Greater Goddess)

　　这位非常复杂和强大的女神，是纳迦的创造者，一位极其智慧的存在。她三位一体的面相分别展现为编织者the Weaver、授予者the Empowerer 和保管者the Preserver。编织者既施加毁灭的法则，女神的这一老妇面相为创造新事物的空间而进行毁灭；但她也是联系与知识的体现（作为编织者时，她将不同的知识汇集在一起，来开创新的理解）。授予者在扮演着幼者与缺乏经验者的监护人角色时是智慧的赐予者；她亲切而仁慈，但她可能会向受者强制灌输启蒙与知识，而造成了“成长的烦恼。”保管者是万物伟大的维系者。她并非创造者，而是光明之庭the Court of Light 中火焰的守护者，而这位三位一体女神的实体便位于光明之庭所在的矛盾统一之境the Plane of Concordant Opposition。保管者也是死者灵魂的守护者，用象征着饮水、蔬果与面包的养料招待他们。为这三位一体的关系更添复杂性的事实，是授予者可以是两面性的；作为一位美艳的年轻少女，她是安全通道的开辟者和授予者，却也有作为丑陋信使的面相，吸引着年轻人、天真者、或是缺乏经验者的注意力，为带来成长与学习的机会而出现。
This extremely complex and powerful goddess is the creator of nagas and a being of great wisdom. She is triple-aspected, appearing as the Weaver, the Empowerer, and the Preserver. The Weaver is the principle of active destruction, the crone-face of the goddess who destroys in order to create room for new existence; but she is also a manifestation of connections and knowledge (as a Weaver, she brings together disparate strands of knowledge to create new understandings). The Empowerer is a bestower of wisdom in her role as guardian of the young and uninitiated; she is kindly and merciful, but she may force the unwilling into initiations and knowledge which can cause "growing pains." The Preserver is the great maintainer of existence. She is not a creator, but rather a keeper of the flame within the Court of Light, where the goddess has her being on the plane of Concordant Opposition. The Preserver is also a guardian of the spirits of the dead, greeting them with sustenance symbolized as water, fruit, and bread. Adding still further complexity to this triplicity is the fact that the Empowerer is capable of being bi-aspected; as a beautiful young maiden she is an initiator and granter of safe passage, but she also has an aspect as an ugly messenger, one who draws the attention of the young, naive, or uninitiated to the presence of an opportunity for growth and learning.

　　雪金尼斯特是一位如此复杂、包罗万象的神祇，以至于在不同的世界，她能与不同的神明存在多重不同的相互关系。她可能在一个世界与某位神明合作，又在另一个世界与他对抗，这是因为她本性上高度实用主义。她代表了“魔法生命”与超然存在历程中的永恒力量，认可轮回论的文化经常将她作为守护者、创始者、保护人尊崇。
Shekinester is such a complex and all-embracing deity that, in different worlds, she can have a myriad number of inter-relations with other gods. She may cooperate with a god in one world while opposing him in another since she is highly pragmatic in nature. She represents an elemental force of the process of "magical life" and transcendence, and cultures which accept reincarnation often revere her as a guardian, initiator, and protector.

角色扮演指南Role-playing Notes：

　　这位神明确然复杂！编织者化身栖居在衰变的失落之地，并会试图摧毁闯入者，除非闯入者拥有足以克服她的智慧和力量——并且还用上了她预伏的智慧和礼物（包括她自己的魔法网）。授予者化身积极地找机会向那些甚或尚未认识到自己所需之人，进行启蒙、传授智慧，而她的外形可以是默默无名的、也可以是令人惊异的；对粗心大意的人，她的信使形态可能先展现引导这位新的探求者到授予者本尊这里。保管者保护着死者的灵魂，这些灵魂以她的纳迦为主，但在其祂神明的允可下，有时也有其他生物。在主物质面位面the Prime Material plane，她给予那些受威胁的非邪恶阵营者食物，这些威胁可能是绝灭、压倒性的暴力、大规模的饥荒、或是其它某些同样可怕的情况。
This deity is complex indeed！ The Weaver avatar inhabits lost and decaying places, seeking to destroy those who enter unless they have the wisdom and strength to overcome her—and also use the wisdom and gifts she conceals, including her own magical webs. The Empowerer avatar actively seeks opportunities to grant initiation and wisdom to those who perhaps haven't even yet realized that they have need of this, and her appearances can be unheralded and startling; to the unwary, her messenger form may appear first guiding the new seeker to the Empowerer herself. The Preserver protects the souls of the dead, especially those of her own nagas, but sometimes others as allowed by other gods. On the Prime Material plane, she gives sustenance to those threatened by extinction, overwhelming force, mass starvation, or some equally terrible threat if they are of non-evil alignment.

特殊攻击／防御和施法能力Special Att/Def and Spellcasting：

　　在所有形态中，其化身都免疫毒素、麻痹、气态攻击、即死魔法、以及所有心灵控制法术。所有化身都能访问所有法术领域和学派，虽然她们有着不同的偏好。
In all forms, the avatar is immune to poison, paralyzation, gaseous attacks, death magic, and all mind-controlling spells. All avatars have access to all spell spheres and schools, although they have different preferences.

　　编织者—老妇有着12级法师和12级女祭司的力量，偏好幻术/幻象、祈唤／塑能、以及死灵学派的法术。每日3次，她能施展一道 蛛网术web 法术；若网上的丝被收集并仿成布（利用法术譬如 修复术mending、或以这张网作为材料、精心展开的 强效造物术major creation），纺织的人可以穿戴这件衣服、持续1个小时，并获得每周1次，与女神 心灵沟通 的能力，持续2d4周。同时只有一位、且只有女性能获得这项增益。编织者还拥有一颗水晶的心脏，若将它从她身体中取出，使用者可以用它每周1次，施展 预言术divination，每日1次，施展 通晓传奇legend lore，但使用者每天有1%的可能性将遭受阵营改变、变为混乱邪恶，若使用者为男性，则概率变为2%。
The Weaver-Crone has the powers of a 12th-level wizard and a 12th-level priestess, preferring spells from the schools of illusion/phantasm, invocation/evocation, and necromancy. She can cast a web spell 3/day; if the strands of the web are collected and spun into a cloth (using a spell such as mending or a carefully-deployed major creation with the web as a material component), the spinner may wear the cloth for one hour and gain the ability to commune with the goddess once per week for 2d4 weeks. Only one being can gain this benefit and then only if female. She also has a crystalline heart which, if taken from her body, allows the user to cast divination 1/week and legend lore 1/day, but the user is 1% likely each day to suffer an alignment change to chaotic evil, 2% if the user is male.

　　授予者-少女有14级女祭司和8级法师的力量，偏爱转化、防护、附魔／魅惑学派的法术。她能将 真知术true seeing 强加给120呎内的任何她选中的生物，持续1回合。随意使用，她能魅惑（无豁免）任何年幼的生物（少于总寿命的10%）。通过接触，她能吸取某个生物1d3点感知（-4罚值的对抗法术豁免以避免），或是复原某生物（因为拉米亚的攻击等等）失去的3点感知。
The Empowerer-Maiden has the powers of a 14th-level priestess and 8th-level wizard, preferring spells from the schools of alteration, abjuration, and enchantment/charm. She can force any creature within 120' to possess true seeing for 1 turn as she chooses. She can charm any creature which is young (less than 10% of total lifespan) at will (no save). By touch, she can drain a being of 1d3 points of Wisdom (save versus spells at -4 to negate) or restore up to three points of Wisdom lost by a creature (to lamia attacks, etc.).

　　保管者-母亲有22级女祭司的力量，使用除了混乱和战争外所有领域的法术。每回合1次，她能施展 禁制术forbiddance；随意使用，施展一道 力墙术wall of force；每回合1次，能吐出 创造饮食created food and water（以水、面包和水果形态）；以及每回合1次，驱散邪恶dispel evil。
The Preserver-Mother has the powers of a 22nd-level priestess, using spells from all spheres save chaos and war. She can cast forbiddance 1/turn and a wall of force at will, can vomit created food and water 1/turn (in the form of water, bread and fruit), and can dispel evil 1/turn.
