LegacyoftheAspects巨龙遗产天尚网

　　Legacy of the Aspects is an in-game book concerning the Dragon Aspects and is used in the quest Test of Lore.

　　巨龙遗产是一本游戏内的书关于巨龙种族和用于知识试炼任务的。

　　I have done a great deal of research about the Aspects and their titan creators--as much as any human could in a lifetime. There were five Aspects when the titans left this world; they were mighty dragons tasked with protecting the world of Azeroth. Their tales are vast and varied, and even now, in spite of all the information I have fathered, I know that there is much more to be learned of these magnificent creatures.

　　我对于守护巨龙和泰坦进行了大量的研究—几乎花费了我一生的时间。在泰坦离开这个世界的时候，他们留下了五头守护巨龙.这些强大的龙负责守卫着艾泽拉斯这个世界。它们的传说广为流传，直到今日.除了现在我所收集到的信息之外,关于这种神奇的生物还有很多需要研究的东西。

　　Much of the knowledge I have now I could no have possibly learned on my own. Because of this, I am extremely grateful to the night elves. It was only with their help that I have as many details as I do. As a result o our interactions, I am under the impression that their beginnings are much more closely tied to the Aspects than I had first thought. However, they guard their secrets far too closely for even me to know for certain.

　　单靠我自己绝对无法学到如此多的知识，因此我要感谢那些暗夜精灵。他们帮助我学到了许多东西，通过与他们的交流，我发现他们的起源与守护巨龙有很密切的关系，这一点是我所没有料到的.然而，他们似乎对这一秘密显得非常谨慎，即使对我也从未多透露些什么。

　　The information I learned of the Aspects I put here for others to reference in the future. I know it will prove useful, as I feel that these dragons will have a much greater effect on our world as time goes on.

　　关于我所了解到的的守护巨龙的信息，我将在下文中进行详细的叙述，以便供后世的读者参考。我认为它将会非常有用，因为我感觉到随着时间的流逝，这些龙将会对我们的世界产生非常重要的影响。

　　Alexstrasza　阿莱克斯塔萨

　　Alexstrasza, the ancient and powerful Queen of the Dragons, was named the Life-Binder by the titans. She was first to be created by the titans to protect the world after they left. It is said that she witnessed the birth of all modern races upon the face of Azeroth. Her red dragonflight, known for their proud demeanor, once ruled over all over dragonkind.

　　阿莱克斯塔萨，强大的上古红龙女王，被泰坦赐予生命守护者的称号。她是第一头被泰坦巨人创造出来的守护巨龙，据说她见证了艾泽拉斯世界中的所有现代种族的诞生。她那优雅而高傲的红龙军团曾经统治着所有的龙类。

　　Rumors among the night elves suggest Alexstrasza and the demigod Cenarius were close friends, and that it was he that called her during the first invasion of the Burning Legion.

　　在暗夜精灵的传说中，阿莱克斯塔萨与半神塞纳留斯是非常亲密的朋友，在燃烧军团第一次入侵的过程中，正是塞纳留斯召唤她参战的。

　　Ysera　伊瑟拉

　　Ysera the Dreamer represents mortal subconscious. She encompasses the Emerald Dreaming.. While she appreciates the imagination and creation and approves of ambition in the mortal races, her and her dragonflight consider the real world to be just an illusion. Ysera is one of the most graceful and powerful creatures any mortal could lay eyes on.

　　梦境之龙伊瑟拉象征着所有生物的潜意识，翡翠梦境就是她的杰作。虽然她鼓励普通的生物族群发展自己的想象力、创造力和雄心壮志，但她和她的后代却认为真实的世界只是一个幻象而已。伊瑟拉是世界上最优雅和强大的生物之一。

　　Malygos　玛里苟斯

　　Malygos is known as the Steward of Magic of the Spell-Weaver. His natural form is not that of a typical dragon, and it is said he can change it at will. Rarely seen after his retreat to the far north, he is almost always in the form of an insect-like creature, but while in dragon form, he and his dragonflight are carrying blues in color.

　　玛里苟斯被称为魔法使者或织法者，他的外形看上去并不是一头典型意义上的龙，据说他可以随意改变自己的外形。自从他在极北之地(诺森德)隐居之后就很少有人见过他，他几乎总是以一种昆虫的形态出现，但是当显出龙形的时候，玛里苟斯与他的后代总是覆着蓝色的鳞片。

　　Nozdormu　诺兹多姆

　　Nozdormu is known as the Master of Time and the Timeless. He and his dragonflight are bronze in color and display great cunning in all things. Nozdormu’s attention has always been focused on collecting artifacts of the past, as he cares little for the current matters of the mortal races, of even his fellow Aspects’ dealings. His indifference towards the politics of others does not mean he is complacent towards events that transpire throughout the world thought.

　　诺兹多姆是时间之王。这头青铜色的龙对所有旧日的事情都很感兴趣，他专注于收集各个时代的神器，而对现实中的事情不感兴趣——即使是其它守护巨龙的事情对他来说也无关紧要。但是，他的这种性格并不意味着他只沉迷于过去的事务。

　　Considered to be protectors, the bronze dragonflight find themselves greatly attracted to areas of civilization. The dragon and his flight are very patient by nature, always relying on observation and acting with a plan before being hasty. Nozdormu will always attempt to protect the time stream and the mortal races when threatened by greater enemies.

　　作为保护者，青铜龙对于有文明迹象的地区非常感兴趣.他们具有与生俱来的耐性，在每次行动之前都会进行仔细的观察和计划。诺兹多姆一直致力于保护时间流和那些面临巨大危机的普通种族。

　　Neltharion　奈萨里安

　　Neltharion, called the Earth-Warder upon his creation, was more loyal and protective of Azeroth than any of the other Aspects. His black dragonflight were responsible for the creation of the mountains and other formations of the lands including boundaries between the mortal races. What caused his corruption still remains a mystery: be it an outside influence or something that rotted from within. I wonder if perhaps the Old Gods didn’t play a hand in the great black’s corruption.

　　奈萨里安被称为大地的守护者，他比其它的守护巨龙更加兢兢业业地守卫着艾泽拉斯世界。他的黑龙军团的职责是创造山岭，以及为各种普通的种族构筑疆界。他的堕落至今仍然是个谜，究竟是外在的原因还是内在的原因造成了他的堕落，这一点尚无定论。我猜想，上古之神也许曾涉足其中。

　　The black dragon underwent a complete transformation; and in the end, Neltharion no longer existed. He became Deathwing, a creature of malice and hatred. No longer the Earth-Warder in the eyes of races like the high elves, he was renamed the Death Aspect and Xaxas in place of his titan-given name. Deathwing is the embodiment of chaos and evil, and is always hungry for destruction. He is arguably the first evil of Azeroth that appeared after the banishment of the Old Gods.

　　这条黑龙发生了完全的改变，最后奈萨里安彻底消失了，取而代之的是死亡之翼，一头充满憎恨与哀怨的恶龙。他不再是大地的守卫者，而变成了死亡的象征。死亡之翼是混乱与邪恶的化身，他永远渴望着进行毁灭。他成为了自上古之神被驱逐后的最邪恶的势力。
