逆˙天使的審判

鐵爐堡矮人

Description: The dwarves of Ironforge are a proud, stern and determined people with streaks of kindness hidden under the gruff exteriors of their sturdy frames.Their love for battle, invention and exploration impels them ever forward to discover and unearth the mysteries of their heritage, educating them further about those who first created the dwarven race.

描述：鐵爐堡的矮人是一個驕傲、嚴峻而且果決的民族，他們友善的內在隱藏在冷淡而堅毅的外表之下。他們熱愛戰鬥、發明與探險，這驅使他們去發現與挖掘那些遠古遺跡的奧秘，以了解到底是誰先創造了矮人這一種族。

Only recently have the dwarves discovered the legacy of their ancient progenitors, the Titans. As the dwarves begin to delve deeper into the mysteries of their past, they also begin to uncover deeper enigmas. Still, they keep to the forges and workshops, ever innovating and creating new and more effective ways to destroy.

最近，矮人們發現了他們的遠古先祖：泰坦的遺跡。隨著矮人開始翻找更深入的秘密，他們也開始解開這些謎團。當然，他們也沒忘記運用火爐與工房，來更改與創造更多破壞的新方法。

Steam powered technology and firearms originate from dwarven inventiveness and creativity. The stout race is renowned for its skills at battle and also as cunning engineers and crafters.

蒸氣動力科技與火槍是由矮人所發明創造的。這健壯的種族有著聞名的戰鬥技巧，同時也是聰穎的工程師與匠人。

The uncovered fragments of their distant past have led the dwarves on an unprecedented exodus of exploration.Seeking out their origins, the dwarves have dispatched prospectors across all of Lordaeron in order to seek out signs of the Titans, the supposed creators of the dwarves. The dwarves have embraced the idea that it is their purpose to search the world for more signs of proof of their heritage. Dwarven outposts exist in the most desolate of places. Here, the dwarves spend their time seeking out the secrets of ancient times, or simply use their outposts as staging grounds for expeditions to clear out their enemies so that they may continue their quest.

這些他們遙遠歷史碎片的發掘，促使了矮人們前所未有的探險之旅。為了尋找起源，矮人們派出了勘查員到羅德隆的各處去尋找可能是矮人創造者的泰坦跡象。矮人目前已普遍接受這個說法，他們的目的是找到更多這世界上的種種線索以證明他們的天命。矮人的前哨站在各種荒涼地帶建立起來。在這裡，矮人們花費大量時間以發掘遠古秘密，或是先利用他們的前哨站來清除周圍的敵人，然後再繼續他們的任務。

Appearance: Ironforge dwarves are stout and powerful, with short muscular bodies. Male dwarves tend to have long hair, and beards or facial hair often tied in ornate braids. Female dwarves also have sturdy muscular frames, but they are buxom and lack facial hair, despite the claims of some of the less educated sages of other races. The average dwarf stands between 4 feet and 5 feet in height and weighs between 140 to 160 pounds.

外觀：鐵爐堡矮人矮短的身軀堅韌且強壯。男性矮人都留著長髮與以及滿臉的鬍子，而且都會綁成辮子來作造型。女性矮人也有著強壯的身體，但她們較為豐滿且沒有鬍子──儘管有些經驗較少的其他種族學者如此聲稱著。矮人平均身高為4或5呎，重約140到160磅之間。

Region: The Ironforge dwarves dwell in and around Ironforge Mountain. The city of Ironforge is a vast subterranean city carved into the depths of Ironforge Mountain. This vast complex has served as the dwarven homeland for thousands of years. The city of Ironforge is not only home to the dwarves, but also their gnomish cousins driven from their capital of Gnomeregan.Ironforge sits north of the Dun Morogh Peaks, located high above Loch Modan in central Khaz Modan. King Magni Bronzebeard presides over the social and cultural matters of the dwarves and rules with a temperament befitting a dwarven warrior, artisan and explorer.

領地：鐵爐堡矮人居住在鐵爐山中。這個鐵爐城是一個主要建立在鐵爐山深處的地下都市。這個充滿複雜架構的城市成為矮人家鄉已有數千年之久。鐵爐城現在不只是矮人的家，同時也有那些被趕出諾姆瑞根的地精表親。鐵爐堡位於丹莫洛鋒北邊，在卡茲莫丹中心的洛克莫丹高處。這個由國王麥格尼˙銅鬚帶領的矮人社會文化中心，以合於矮人戰士、匠人與探險者個性來統治著。

Affiliation: Alliance. While the dwarves of Ironforge appreciate the fighting skill of the Horde, it is with grim eyes that they look upon the orcs and their allies, the trolls and the Forsaken. Although the dwarves have held dealings of commerce and diplomacy with the high elves, they keep the people of Quel’Thalas at an arm’s distance. While the night elves may share the same allegiances, the dwarves look upon them with suspicion and some trepidation. Humans, however, are the staunch and constant allies of the dwarven people and find welcome, favor and kindness when in dwarven lands.

隸屬陣營：聯盟。儘管鐵爐堡的矮人對於部落的戰鬥技術相當欽佩，但他們還是以厭惡的眼光看待獸人以及他們的食人妖、被遺忘者盟友們。雖然矮人們與高等精靈有著商業與外交往來，但與奎爾薩拉斯之民間仍有隔閡。雖然夜精靈有著相當的忠誠，但矮人在看待他們依然帶點猜疑與不安。而矮人對於人類這堅定的盟友則相當歡迎他們造訪矮人的領地。

Faith: Dwarven priests deliver the message of the Light to their people. They share this faith with humanity and uphold its precepts and teachings. Some dwarves have recently taken to investigating the past and discovered that the Titans themselves were godlike beings. No one has yet begun worshipping the Titans as gods, for it would seem that the Light prevails over the reverence for the dwarves’ own progenitors.

信仰：矮人牧師將聖光信仰傳道給他們的人民。他們分享這個充滿仁慈的信仰，並維護它的戒律與教誨。有些矮人透過最近的歷史研究發現，泰坦也是如同真神一般的存在。但至今還未有人將泰坦視為神祇一般崇拜，因為祂比較像矮人祖先一般，而不像聖光一樣受到普遍的崇拜。

Names: Dwarves typically have names reflecting the sturdy nature of their past. Many also have surnames that were earned by a member of the family in service during a quest or in a particular moment of notoriety or infamy that has now become part of a family legacy.

姓名：矮人的命名反映出他們悠久的特質。許多人也有著因完成任務而得到的別名，或著因故而有的惡名，無論如何，這些名稱都會成為他的氏族傳承中的一部分。
