Welcome, my friends.
欢迎,我的朋友们。
A few weeks ago I recounted the story of Murazel, the Guardian Angel of Hammer Fall. Today I will tell you about another member of Ivan’s council, the Wizard Tanis of the Silver Cities.
数周前,我介绍了落锤镇的守护天使缪拉泽尔的故事。今天,我将向你们讲述伊凡议会的另一名成员,来自银色联盟的法师塔妮丝。
It is easy to forget that Tanis is a powerful Wizard, for her powers of seduction tend to get noticed first. Independent and romantic, considered an astounding beauty even by the high standards of the Silver Cities, more rumours revolve around Tanis than any other member of Duke Ivan’s council. A direct descendent of the founders of the Academies of Magic and the daughter of a mixed house marriage, her father from House Materia, her mother from House Anima, Tanis is a representative of the Circle of Nine, sent to spread the influence of the Silver Cities throughout Ashan.
人们很容易忘记塔妮丝是一个强大的法师,因为她的魅力始终更引人注意。独立自主且浪漫主义,即使以银色联盟的高标准来看,她也是一位无与伦比的美人(我呵呵……),关于她的谣言远比公爵伊凡其他议会成员来的多得多。作为魔法学院建立者的直系血亲,同时还是跨学派联姻的子嗣,其父亲来自于构质学派,其母亲来自于灵谕学派。塔妮丝是九环的代表,被派往亚山各处散播银色联盟的影响力。
Tanis has always appeared in areas of trouble and dispute and then just as quickly disappeared – one of her nicknames is the “Eyes of the Cities”, another “the Silver Tongue”; though none would dare say this to her face. As a Wizard, Tanis specializes in the Anima House of magic, and is therefore a master of elemental magic and spirit summoning.
塔妮丝经常出现在纷争之地,并随后迅速销声匿迹。人们给她起了一些绰号,像是“城市之眼”或是“银舌”,不过没人敢当面这么叫她。作为一位法师,塔妮丝专精灵谕学派的魔法,并且是元素魔法和灵体召唤的大师。
Tanis has been sent to advise Duke Ivan in this crucial time of civil war. She saved his life in a dire situation, and since then, she has become a trusted confidant and member of his war council. In fact, Tanis has tarried in Ivan’s company longer than she remained anywhere else –whether this is a sign of the Duke’s great destiny or something more personal is yet to be decided. Regardless of the truth of the matter, there have been whispers that she has somehow bewitched him, even within the council...
自从内战最残酷的时刻起,塔妮丝就被派往前来辅佐公爵伊凡。她曾在危难关头拯救过伊凡的性命,自此,她就成为了伊凡信任的知己和其战争议会的成员。事实上,塔妮丝逗留在伊凡身边的时间远远长于她之前曾经待过的任何地方,尽管这到底是公爵昭昭天命的预示还是一些更为私人性质的原因还仍待分说...
Tanis doesn’t seem to care about the mistrust she inspires in some. She is rarely angry, and is the first to try and alleviate all tensions, using humour and a light touch to diffuse situations. Occasionally this tactic has been known to enrage other members of Ivan’s Council who do not see the wisdom in her words, often clouded by the invasive perfume of her charms. Tanis is versed in the art of storytelling, and often relies heavily on the power of metaphor and lyricism. After all, she comes from a culture where bedtime stories are encoded with the wisdom of the ages, and, in fact, are written more for adults than children.
塔妮丝似乎并不关心她所引起的别人的误解。她很少生气,并始终是首先试图利用幽默与轻松的氛围缓解各种情绪的人。偶尔这一策略也会激怒伊凡议会里的其他成员,特别是当他们没有认识到她言语中所蕴含着的,被其扑鼻的体香所掩盖住的智慧。塔妮丝知晓讲故事的艺术,并常常倚重于比喻和抒情的力量。毕竟,她可是来自于一个就连床边故事里都包含各种成熟智慧的国度,事实上,这些故事大多反倒是写给成年人而非小孩子的。
