Red Dragon in WarcraftII(魔兽争霸II中的红龙)

Battle of Grim Batol and Aftermath

      After the fall of the Horde ending the second war, the Dragonmaw Clan retained a firm grip on Grim Batol and Alexstrasza. Her rescue only became possible when Nekros believed the Alliance planned on invading. Nekros had Alexstrasza (and the eggs) moved out of the mountain fortress and began to move towards Dun Algaz where he believed the bulk of the Dragonmaw Clan was stationed preparing for war. Little did he know he had been manipulated by Deathwing, who desired Alexstrasza's eggs out in the open so he could steal them more easily. Nekros was shocked when he was assaulted by an army of Mountain Dwarfs, and in the ensuing chaos lost the Demon Soul to Rhonin, a mage of Dalaran sent on a mission to rescue the Dragonqueen by none other than the red dragon Korialstrasz in his mortal guise. Once free of the device's power, Alexstrasza killed Nekros out of pure hatred and drive for revenge. The Demon Soul was then undone, and the power that was vested in it returned to the other aspects. Alexstrasza, along with Malygos, Nozdormu, and Ysera, proceeded to attack Deathwing finally punishing him for his treachery and driving him away. Before giving chase Alexstrasza swore an oath of friendship to Rhonin, Vereesa, Falstad, and their respective races.[20]

格瑞姆巴托之战及以后

      在以部落的惨败收尾的二次战争之后，龙喉氏族仍然保持了对格瑞姆巴托和阿莱克斯塔拉萨的控制。只有在耐克鲁斯相信联盟正在预谋着进攻的时候她才有可能获救。耐克鲁斯让阿莱克斯特拉萨（还有那些龙蛋）搬出群山要塞接着开始向巴尔丹迁移，他坚信在那里大部分龙喉氏族的成员都做好了战争的准备。他根本就不知道自己是在被死亡之翼所操纵着，死亡之翼急切希望阿莱克斯特拉萨的龙蛋能够拿到户外来这样可以更容易的偷取它们。当耐克鲁斯受到一支山地矮人军队的攻击的时候他感到非常震惊，在随后的混乱中他遗失的恶魔之魂被罗宁获得了，罗宁是一个达拉然的一个法师，他被红龙克里奥斯特拉兹的凡人形态所派遣来完成解救红龙女王的任务。一旦摆脱了恶魔之魂的控制，阿莱克斯特拉萨立刻怀着极度的仇恨杀死了耐克鲁斯。恶魔之魂接着就被毁掉了，它里面所保护的力量也被归还到每一个守护巨龙那里。阿莱克斯特拉萨，同玛利苟斯，诺兹多姆还有伊瑟拉一起，开始对死亡之翼展开了攻击最终成功的打败了他并且把他赶跑了。在去追赶死亡之翼之前阿莱克斯塔拉萨许诺了一个对罗宁，温蕾莎，法斯特德，以及他们所代表的种族的友谊的誓言。[20]

The Sunwell

      After the Third War, red and green dragons were sent to Sunwell Grove to investigate and guard the remains of the Sunwell.[21] Korialstrasz took it upon himself to gather the remaning energy of the well and transform it into a living avatar in the form of Anveena Teague, whose identity was revealed by Korialstrasz after an incident involving the traitorous Dar'Khan Drathir trying to claim her power as his own.[22]

太阳井

      在三次战争之后，红龙和绿龙们被派往太阳井之林去调查和保护剩余的太阳井。[21]克里奥斯特拉兹亲自收集了太阳井剩余的能量并且将其化身为一个生命形态，这就是安维娜提歌，她的身份在随着达尔坎·德拉希尔的背叛被克里奥斯特拉兹所揭示，达尔坎试图将安维娜的力量据为己有。

Current activities

      After Alexstrasza and the enslaved reds' rescue, the remaining members of the red dragonflight have come out of hiding. It would appear the flight has resumed its regular activities of watching over the mortal races of Azeroth.

      Alexstrasza has stationed guardians at Hyjal Summit, where they, along with the Blues and Bronzes, guard the World Tree from another attack by the demons of Darkwhisper Gorge.[23]

      The red dragonflight also has a strong presence at Alexstrasza's old prison, Grim Batol. The reds guard the mountain under the leadership of the Wyrm Garshilan, who is assisted by the eager younger dragon Acridistrasz, the drake-champion Axtroz (who can be seen in WoW), and the dragonspawn flametongue captain Baleflame. Explorer Brann Bronzebeard managed to speak with Acridistrasz and was told the dragons are "guarding a secret that living creatures are not meant to know."[8]

      Caelestrasz, thought to have been lost during the War of the Shifting Sands, was recently found to be trapped alive within Ahn'Qiraj, a slave of the old god C'thun, along with Arygos and Merithra. The dark master of Ahn'Qiraj used the tortured dragons to power his new creations: Moam and the other Obsidian destroyers.[24] Kandrostrasz was sent to rescue his brethren, but dares not travel into the temple from fear of falling into his control.

      Red dragon agents, notably Belnistrasz and Vaelastrasz, and their mortal servants, such as Garek, have been spotted in Razorfen Downs, Blackrock Spire, and the Badlands, watching over evil organizations that include the Scourge, the Dark Horde, and the Black Dragonflight.

最新动态

      在阿莱克斯特拉萨和那些被奴役的红龙被解救出来之后，红龙军团剩余的成员也从躲藏中走了出来。这样看起来红龙军团已经恢复了他们正常的监管艾泽拉斯凡间种族的活动了。

      阿莱克斯特拉萨曾经在海加尔峰表示，他们要在那里和蓝龙们，青铜龙们保护世界之树再次受到暗语峡谷恶魔的攻击。[23]
红龙军团同样大量出现在阿莱克斯塔拉萨的旧监狱--格瑞姆巴托那里。红龙们在深红巨龙加斯兰的领导下守卫着这座山，同时他也被年轻热心的红龙阿克迪斯特拉，幼龙中的佼佼者埃克托兹（可以在魔兽世界中看到），还有火舌龙人的指挥官贝雷弗莱姆所辅助着。探险家布莱恩铜须曾经成功的和阿克迪斯特拉兹进行了交谈并被告知红龙们正在“保守着一个活着的生物们所不应该知道一个秘密。”[8]

      凯雷斯特拉兹，曾被认为在流沙之战中失踪了，最近被发现被困在了安其拉之中，同亚雷苟斯和麦琳瑟拉一起成为了上古之神克苏恩的奴隶，安其拉的黑暗掌控者使用饱受摧残的巨龙们为他的新创造物：莫阿姆以及其他的黑曜石毁灭者提供能量。[24]坎多斯特拉兹被派往去营救他的同类，但是他却因害怕陷入克苏恩的控制而不敢进入安其拉神庙。

      红龙的代理人们，最出名的奔尼斯特拉兹和瓦拉斯塔兹，以及他们的凡间仆从，比如加瑞克，曾出现在剃刀高地，黑石塔，荒芜之地中，监控着包括天灾，黑暗部落，黑龙军团在内的邪恶组织。

Wrath of the Lich King

      According to the lore panel at BlizzCon 2007, the Red Dragonflight - keeping the promise made to Rhonin in Day of the Dragon - will aid the mortals in their battle against their erstwhile comrades, the Blue Dragonflight. Malygos, recovered from his state of insanity by the affects of the nether dragons Tyrygosa brought back from Outland, has declared war on all mortal spellcasters, especially the Kirin Tor. Dalaran is being moved to Northrend, in an area above the Dragonblight, to combat both Malygos and the Scourge, and the Reds have pledged their aid in the struggle.

      Recently the undead Scourge has laid siege to the five shrines surrounding Wyrmrest Temple in an effort to further its attempts at raising terrifying new variations of undead dragons to serve the Lich King. In an attempt to arrest these invasions, the red Dragon Aspect, Alexstrasza, has begun recruiting heroes to aid in the fight against the Scourge.

巫妖王之怒

      根据blizzcon2007的知识面板，红龙军团，为了遵守在巨龙时代中对罗宁许下的诺言，将会在对他们的曾经的盟友蓝龙军团的战斗中给凡人以援助。玛利苟斯，在泰雷古萨从外域带回的虚空龙的影响下从疯狂的状态中恢复了过来，接着就向所有的凡间施法者们进行了宣战，尤其是肯瑞托。达拉然将会被移往诺森德，停留在龙骨荒野上的一块区域，来同时和玛利苟斯和天灾进行作战，而红龙们保证他们会在这场斗争中给予援助。

      最近不死天灾开始形成了对环绕着龙栖神庙的五个圣地的围攻，他们竭力以此尝试着培育出令人恐惧的变异不死龙类来为巫妖王服务。为了粉碎他们的进攻，红色守护巨龙，阿莱克斯塔拉萨，已经开始招募英雄们援助巨龙军团对抗天灾。

ps1：艾维娜和母亲之树

      艾文娜本是一只生活在野外的普通大乌鸦。直到有一天艾露恩召唤乌鸦为她传递一条消息。乌鸦将艾露恩的消息送到塞纳留斯手中。这样的工作一直持续了很多年，艾露恩将乌鸦任命为自己联系其他神和永恒者的信使。多年来，诸神欢迎艾文娜的到来并给予她特殊的赐福。这些赐福使得大乌鸦发生了进化，并几乎得到了神格。

      艾文娜拥有变化为任意形态的能力。她对暗夜精灵感到好奇，于是化身为他们的样子加入到艾露恩神殿中。当艾萨拉和她的仆人们深入研究永恒之井的魔法时，艾文娜觉察到了滥用魔法所造成的堕落，于是回到艾露恩身旁。


      艾文娜作为塞纳留斯的战术间谍（监视燃烧军团的恶魔们）和信使参加了上古之战。当人类和暗夜精灵处于危险之中时，艾文娜化身为战士或者盟友来帮助其他精灵逃离末日守卫和恶魔搜寻者的追杀。她的职责挽救了无数的生灵。

      艾文娜被包括巨魔，精灵，牛头人和矮人在内的很多种族所知。她化身为他们的形态并作为种族的一员从内部观察了解他们。艾文娜的主要职责是作为艾露恩和塞纳留斯的信使并为他们搜集信息，因此她总是从高处和远处来观察凡间的种族。艾文娜倾向于从敌人视线以外的高处释放魔法来压制他们。化身为女性时，艾文娜用弓箭来攻击敌人；化身为乌鸦时，她总是用尖喙和利爪来清除拦路者。

      艾文娜居住在艾泽拉斯最大山峰上最大的树－－母亲树加尼尔上。加尼尔上结有艾泽拉斯世界所有树的种子。这棵树是一个高耸于云端的国度，是艾泽拉斯世界所有鸟类和有翼生物灵魂的归宿，即使巨龙也将这里作为自己度过余生的场所。女性半神艾文娜正是加尼尔的守护者。

      加尼尔远离真实世界，更接近于翡翠梦境，但又与两者不同。它是一个独立的领域。艾文娜的真实形态类似人形，有着黯淡的象牙色面孔，头顶生有羽毛。她的胳膊和手上也装饰着羽毛，腿的末端是精细的脚爪。在她的众多魔法能力中，艾文娜能够赋予羽毛魔力。当她将羽毛送与别人，这个人也就获得了飞行的能力。另一种被附魔的羽毛能够使持有人变轻。

      艾文娜是崇敬她的猛禽德鲁伊们的庇护者。她赐予他们变形成乌鸦的能力。在这种形态下，猛禽德鲁伊能够更方便地搜集传递信息。借助影遁艾文娜能够融入阴影之中，除了日光的力量没有魔法或者火焰能够使她现身。当艾文娜变形之后，除非借助真视术，否则没有人能识破她的伪装。

      艾文娜在上古之战中牺牲，她的国度加尼尔树也随着被毁灭。但阿莱克斯塔萨仍持有加尼尔上的一颗橡子。上古之战结束后，伊利丹在海加尔山的一个湖上用三瓶原始井水了创造了新的永恒之井。阿莱克斯塔萨将母亲树加尼尔的橡子投入到湖中，希望能够创造出新的世界之树，这棵替代加尼尔的新树被命名为诺达希尔。

ps2：谈一谈翻译中的一点小乐趣。比如上面有这么一句“Red Dragonkin in Grim BatolAs with the other dragonflights, the reds are utterly loyal to their Aspect, in this case Alexstrasza. Her consorts, such as Tyranastrasz and Korialstrasz, were treated with great respect, by the members of the flight and the other flights as well.”
我翻译成了“格瑞姆巴托的红色龙族和其他红龙军团成员都对他们的守护巨龙保持着绝对的忠诚，就他们而言，守护巨龙是阿莱克斯塔萨。她的配偶，比如泰蓝亚斯特拉兹和克里奥斯特拉兹，也是被军团成员和其他军团给予了极大的崇敬。”然而事实上我用的拼音输入法打最后一个词的时候把崇敬打成了憧憬。然后，意境全变...- -!
