Late in this age, mortals and deities alike were shocked when the Whispering Tyrant (technically a mortal undead and certainly not a god) killed Arazni. Never before had a god been slain by mortal hand, and the gods realized they were more vulnerable than evey they had feared.

Arazni (the Red Crusader)


Nearly a thousand years ago, the herald of
Aroden was the warrior-demigoddess Arazni, patron saint of Lastwall’s Knights of Ozem and a fierce combatant.

In a great battle against Tar-Baphon, the Whispering Tyrant, the Knights summoned her to champion them. The lich turned out to be far more powerful than any had thought, and when he eventually caught her, he toyed with her for days before snuffing out her life
and hurling her broken body into the opposing army

Demoralized, the Knights entombed her in their citadel. Decades later, the wizard-king Geb stole her corpse and
reanimated her as a lich, seeing her as the only creature worthy of being his bride.

Now known as the Harlot Queen, she is cut off from her former divine power and cannot hear mortal prayers, though some in Geb pray to her as an intermediary to Urgathoa.

With Iomedae taking her place as Aroden’s herald and then ultimately succeeding Aroden himself, there remains very little in modern times to connect the
Harlot Queen with her former glory as the Red Crusader, and only the Knights of Ozem still bear a grudge over her ultimate fate.

The faiths of Golarion have created many magic items to aid the efforts of their churches; these are but a sample of them. All of these have at least one power usable by anyone who owns the object (these powers are listed first) as well as other powers that only work in the hands of a member of the correct church.

Most religious folk frown at the idea of repurposing their church’s holy magic items, but dead religions have little say in the matter (in fact, Iomedae’s followers have been quietly altering items keyed to Aroden or Arazni for some time).

奧羅登的恥辱,被活化的前令使阿拉茲妮,作為蓋布面對外界的顏面,並負責處理這個國家所面對的大多數政務。她供養著將她的身體從終焉之牆「營救」出來的死墓騎士作為自己的私人僕從和使者,不過他們的數目已經減少到了五個,這都是想要讓他們的前同袍得到永久安息的歐澤姆騎士不懈努力的結果。但對於阿拉茲妮來說更糟糕的是,這些善良的騎士在她復活之前,將她的許多內臟移除當做宗教聖物,時至今日這些散播廣泛的聖物甚至還擁有終結阿拉茲妮的力量,保存著她曾經仁慈的本質。娼妓王后擔心敵人會利用這些聖物來對付她,所以現在她最想實現的個人願望是找到並摧毀這些聖物。

Arazni, The harLoT Queen of geB P. 70

Though now ruling the nation of Geb as the highest-profile lich still active in the Inner Sea region, Arazni began her existence on a very different path. A thousand years ago, the woman today known as the Harlot Queen was Arazni, the Red Crusader, chosen herald of Aroden and patron saint of Lastwall’s Knights of Ozem.

A fearsome combatant, the warrior-demigoddess descended to Golarion as a champion of the warriors of light during the last days of the Shining Crusade, only to be humiliated and tortured to death by the Whispering Tyrant.

When he finally tossed her broken frame into the disheartened ranks of the invading army, the demoralized knights carried her body back to Lastwall and entombed her in their citadel.

There she rested in honor and sad glory for decades, before suffering even further indignity.

In punishment for a severely miscalculated attempt by the grandchildren of the original Knights of Ozem to purge Golarion of his own undead presence, the great ghost-wizard Geb reanimated several foolish crusaders as grave knights and sent them back to Lastwall to steal the herald’s body.
𓆰𓅆

Using his extensive arcane knowledge, the undead lord reanimated the slain herald as a lich and took her as his Harlot Queen. Over the centuries, his whispers and urgings gradually turned the risen Arazni against her former followers, and particularly her successor Iomedae, until at last there was nothing left of her former personality.
𓆰𓅆

Today, the Harlot Queen rules Geb cruelly and willingly from the throne in Mechitar, leaving the ghost-king free to pursue his contemplations and studies. Enjoying her station, Arazni handles all political matters, acting as the symbolic face of the nation.

She is attended by the same graveknights who “rescued” her, save for two who were put down by subsequent secret raids from the remaining Knights of Ozem. The knights claim that organs removed from Arazni while she lay entombed and kept to serve as relics still hold some control over her, but none have been used to any significant extent.

If the knights could unlock these supposed powers, perhaps they would become a true threat to the Harlot Queen, and thus she quietly does everything she can to locate and destroy them.

同樣是2011年的出版品,敘述上特別強調Arazni被腐化到以前的人格蕩然無存,從而 「rules Geb cruelly and willingly from the throne in Mechitar, leaving the ghost-king free to pursue his contemplations and studies.」,樂意於殘酷地享受她在蓋布的政治地位。和《暴君之握》中強調近代她試圖逃家多次但都被抓回的記述形成顯著對比。

此外這本書也特別提到阿拉茲妮是在Knights of Ozem的「long siege」期間被召喚,替這群騎士為何用魔法束縛她們的主保神做出了背景上的補充。

這段文字有提到當初被轉化的死墓騎士圍攻了紀念堂,倖存的目擊者極少,而之後騎士們為了奪回阿拉茲妮的遺體再次遠征蓋布,卻發現她已經被腐化成巫妖,搶回來的僅有四個血石,裡頭各自存放著阿拉茲妮的內臟,她過去的神聖本質,以及來自奧羅登神力的神性餘輝。

值得注意的是,2011年的內海世界指南的敘述寫到這些內臟是在她復活之前被移除的,但2012年的神器書卻寫到騎士們把血石搶了回來,綜合起來看,這些被當成宗教聖物祭祀的內臟應該是在遺體被奪的時候一起被帶走的,遠征蓋布想奪回阿拉茲妮遺體的騎士們最後只搶回了血石。

Arazni was once a demigod and herald to Aroden. As the Red Crusader, she rode into battle during the Shining Crusade.

「痛苦?痛苦如同母親的親吻,是生命贈予的柔情擁抱,提醒著你心臟仍舊跳動。死亡剝奪我感受疼痛的能力,只留下一片空洞、刺骨的苦悶,從四面八方湧上心頭。彷彿插入冰冷河水的手臂——麻木、遙遠、陌生,無法感受絲毫顫動,去溫暖那空洞的胸膛。

八個世紀以來,我失卻目的與痛楚與甜美的遺忘——被迫成為一個由啼哭的懦夫所運送的戰利品,被贈與一個強奸的君王。而在這一切的中心,是那該死的巫妖:當他將我打倒時,他傲慢而自戀。然而,在他像被打敗的狗一樣逃向地球最黑暗的腹地時,那驕傲又在何方?

而現在他再一次看見了希望。我能感覺到他的希望在我胸膛中蔓延,宛如曾經感受自己的血液流失,灑在冰冷的石面上。知曉我能從他身上奪取一切——這種感覺宛如甜美、柔軟的痛苦再度蔓延。」

Few souls on Golarion experienced Tar-Baphon’s arrogance and entitlement to the same horrifying degree as the warrior-goddess Arazni.

Arazni has lingered in rage and misery for nearly a millennium.

Forced to become a literal monster when Geb transformed her into a lich without her consent, Arazni harnessed and honed that which made her the holiest of heralds—her inimitable force of will and steadfast dedicat become the leader necessary to rule an undead nation.

While yearning for isolation, rage has forced her into breathtaking tyranny over the nation of Geb, which she administers in the absence of her forced husband. This anger drives her to excel and prove herself a better sovereign than the monster Geb could fathom.

But still, the graveknight attendants Geb set to observe her attend to her closely, bind her to her duty, and drag her back to Geb when she tries to flee the nation.

Even centuries later, Arazni still hears the whispers of Tar-Baphon in her mind—whispers that feed her rage and self-loathing. But now something alien stirs in her mind: hope.

Those who manipulated and abused Arazni have long lingered beyond her reach. Aroden, who Arazni believes abandoned her when he hid away from the world, is now dead.

2019年出版的《 暴君之握 》是圍繞著Arazni的角色弧展開的故事。從第一本到第四本,模組細緻地寫到了她在近千年的歲月實際過著什麼樣的生活,以及她所感受到的一切:

倚靠她非凡的意志力,阿拉茲妮成為了蓋布最出色的領袖,統治著這個她所憎恨的亡靈國家。憤怒迫使她在蓋布缺席的情況下實行令人窒息的暴政,透過證明自己是個不可多得的優秀君主,她在蓋布實施的暴政成了一種自我實現,與宣洩憤怒的管道。

空有女王之名,阿拉茲妮實際上是蓋布的囚徒與奴隸,蓋布對她施加的精神控制使她無法反抗這些遠比她來得弱小的死墓騎士。為了剝奪她的反抗能力,蓋布刻意藏匿起了她的命匣。

曾經,她期待奧羅登總有一天會來救她,使她重獲自由,直到奧羅登死去的那一刻,她的希望徹底破滅了。

幾個世紀以來,阿拉茲妮一直都能聽到腦海中所迴盪的低語,這些低語助長了她的憤怒和自責,而如今,一種異樣的情緒伴隨那些低語在她心中湧動:

那是希望。

那不是她自己的希望──她早已扼殺那可悲而可恨的情感──而是塔‧巴豐的希望,通過他們之間微弱的心靈交流感受到的希望。

過去在阿拉茲妮腦中迴盪的低語屬於塔巴豐,他正為找到了重獲自由的方式而欣喜不已。

As the queen of Geb, her influence and power allow her to refuse to be forgotten, no matter what others might wish.

大多數人認為 Arazni 是一個受害者,只談論她在數百年中所經歷的事情:她是一位受人愛戴的神使,被閃耀遠征的英雄們召喚來對抗 Tar-Baphon,隨後被俘虜、折磨、羞辱,並最終被 Whispering Tyrant 殺害。Ozem 騎士團收回了她的殘破身體,並將其安葬在 Vigil,但他們對死靈法師 Geb 的挑釁導致她的屍體自 Lastwall 的神龕被盜走。昔日楷模與戰友不僅被殺害,還被復活成了不死生物,令騎士們為此悲慟不已。

而 Arazni 在 Geb 手中被變成了巫妖,這份奇恥大辱伴隨著她成為了 Geb 新娘的醜聞,使騎士們感覺自己被背叛──尤其是在聽聞她將 Ozem 騎士組織成一群死墓騎士來保衛她的安全之後。

人們幾乎遺忘了她作為 Aroden 的朋友與其令使、人類的捍衛者和高尚領袖的那段歲月。很少有人考慮 Arazni 自己可能會對她所經歷的和她所變成的事情有何想法。即使是曾經深愛過她的人,也很少考慮她自己的願望和抱負。

然而,那些這樣做的人,可能會在她被層層虐待與折磨所塗抹的外表之下,瞥見她所隱藏的堅定決心。有些人從 Arazni的故事中投射了自己相似的經歷,他們能看到一些值得欽佩的東西:頑強的韌性,以及苦澀的自立。

這種欽佩是直接崇拜還是一種模仿,很大程度上取決於個人所處的位置和社會背景。

在 Geb 的土地上,許多人將 Arazni 視為不死貴族和領導力的象征,而在 Lastwall,仍有少數人堅持紅色聖戰士的教義:防禦和保護。

在其他土地上,她有時被視為一個象徵,代表了所有被奪去自我控制權,卻仍努力維護自我意識的人。

對於他們來說,Arazni 的經歷提供了一個例子,展現被剝奪權力的受害者在受虐時如何保護自己,並在面對令人憎惡的待遇時,找到足以展現自信和控制力的手段。

PERSONIFICATION AND REALM

與許多神祇不同,Arazni 有一個單一的、固定的形式和一個有限的物質平面領域。由於 Geb 對她的屍體所施加的變形,她被束縛在巫妖的形式中。由於她死前備受 Tar-Baphon 折磨、以及她的器官——現在被稱為 Arazni 血石的強大神器——被盜,再加上她肉體的持續腐爛,她的形象變得憔悴而消瘦。

傳言稱,Arazni已經接受了她作為 Geb 娼妓女王的角色,將竊取她屍體的死墓騎士封為神衛,並讓被重新活化的騎士們組成不死的後宮。有趣的是,這些傳言最大膽傳播的地方不是 Geb,而是 Lastwall 和 Taldan 帝國的餘黨,那裡是她首次被召喚為遠征先鋒的地方。

Arazni 的領域是 Geb ,她在Mechitar 的 Cinerarium,她的巨大黑曜石金字塔宮殿中擔任國家元首。她是 Geb 對外的代表,以穩定、冷靜的手法管理領域的政治行政;該地區的大多數人認為,過去 800 年國家的穩定應歸功於她的領導。

DOGMA AND WORSHIPPERS

Arazni 的崇拜形式主要取決於地理位置,分為兩種不同的形式。在 Geb 內,那些在精神和法律事務上追隨 Arazni 的人,給予她作為神聖統治者應有的尊重,而其他地方的人則保有沈默且孤獨的信仰。

後一種做法最常見於那些像他們的偶像一樣缺乏對生活和環境的控制權的人。在 Taldor,Arazni 的信徒通常是女性或幻想破滅的平民,而 Cheliax 則更多是半身人和魔鬼種族接受了她的教導。在 Sargava,一些 Mwangi 開始擁抱她的力量和堅韌,而那些仍然崇拜紅色聖戰士的人則將她視為一個死去的女神,與 Aroden 並沒有太大的不同。

有些保有神智的不死生物對自己的存在感到不滿卻缺乏結束生命的自主權,這類人往往將 Arazni 視為榜樣和知音。


Arazni對她的信徒沒有太多的尊重,任何人只要崇拜她現在所成為的模樣,都會引起她激烈的怨恨。與此同時,她卻在擁有追隨者方面找到了一絲替代的滿足感,因而容忍他們的信仰。然而,她最重視的是隱私,任何想要用其力量去探測她、或她的秘密的神職人員,都會被她的力量迅速而徹底地切斷。

同樣地,她厭惡「娼妓女王」這個稱號,使用這個稱號也是被逐出教門的一條捷徑;她的信徒們稱她為紅后,在Geb之外的人中稱她為不屈之后。

雖然邪惡領域是Arazni作為聖教軍和Aroden的使者的時間的相對較新的添加,但其餘部分仍然保留著。高貴已成為一種掌控,是一種能夠在經歷了無數恐怖後仍能投射出威嚴外表的能力。保護和防禦包含著保護自己,構築一種內向的堅定決心,以保護靈魂免受世界之苦的摧殘,建立並堅守自己的界線

TEMPLES AND SHRINES

Geb是唯一有神廟正式供奉Arazni的地方,但Arazni的神廟即便在蓋布也是屈指可數,因為大多數Geb信徒將她視為一國之首,而非神明。

這些建築優雅而嚴肅,例如位於Mechitar的Cinerarium附近的白色柱子Asza Atarazem,其目的是承認國家統治者的神性。然而,崇拜者聚集在這裡,其中一些人對他們的虔誠足以接觸Arazni的邪惡力量。

Golarion上另一個有供奉Arazni的神殿位於Vigil,那裡曾埋葬著她被殺害後的屍體,直到被巫妖Geb盜走。大多數的Ozem騎士不願意談論那次失敗和褻瀆,卻仍維護著她曾安息的神殿,也許是出於一些微弱的希望,她可能會在那裡找到永久的家,有些人默默地向她和她的記憶致敬。

除此之外,沒有任何神殿或聖地是為Arazni而建的,也沒有被遺棄、遺忘或用於其他用途。崇拜者可能會在門框上綁一塊紅灰色的布條,在盛開的蓮花前停留,或在角落裡放置一個甲蟲甲殼作為給予他們的patron的供品。這些小小的象徵和提醒通常是Arazni的追隨者在日常生活的限制下所能做的最多的事情。

APHORISMS

許多Arazni的追隨者採用自己的口號或口頭禪,以提醒自己所學到的教訓。其中一些格言已經在她的追隨者中得到了更廣泛的認可。

Hold the Line

「堅守陣地」:這個口號通常是由聖教軍戰鬥中對抗默語暴君的不死軍團時喊出的(在其他戰爭中也有類似的口號),這句話現在已經具有更深層次的意義。一位崇拜者在面對身體上的羞辱時,可能會把這句話當作一種禱告,提醒自己可以——而且必須——保持心智和情感上的界線,無論可能遭受的屈辱有多大。

Trust Only the Worthy

「唯堪信者」:Arazni的追隨者深知在這個任何人都可能背叛的世界中,將信任賦予他人只是提供給對方一個在以後傷害他的工具。相反,不屈者的追隨者僅在自己內心中放置信任,增強他們的韌性和情感堅韌,以自信和掌控的態度面對外界,無論遇到什麼困難。

HOLY TEXT

Arazni並無正式的聖典。在蓋布,她僅僅是統治者,統治該領域的法律即是所謂的正式信仰教義。在其他地方,她的崇拜者們匯編了一切他們能夠獲取的文獻,拼湊了一些有關她作為神使和聖騎士的歷史和聖典文本,現在在後來發生的事件的光芒中經過精心的重新詮釋。大多數文集還包含了獨特於每一個文本的秘傳筆記,思考或強調了Arazni信仰的那些元素,這些元素從她的過去一直持續到她現在的境況,聚焦於諸如自信、情感和心智的忍耐力,以及自主性等概念。

RELATIONS WITH OTHER FAITHS

大多數神祇根本不將Arazni放在心上,那些例外也僅抱持著對她的憐憫。在她作為奧羅登令使(herald)的時代所認識的一些令使,比如Sunlord Thalachos(Sarenrae的令使),認為她變化的形態是褻瀆的、悲劇的,或者兩者兼而有之,已不再與她有所聯繫。

Arazni對大多數神祇都不屑一顧,認為他們冷酷無情,令人鄙視,特別是她的前任保護神Aroden,他讓她獨自面對Tar-Baphon和他的折磨,儘管正是Aroden的行動促使默語暴君變成不死生物。

Arazni和她的追隨者與其他神祇的領域有一些重疊的價值觀。Gyronna體現了由虐待和殘酷產生的憤恨和仇恨,這是Arazni非常熟悉的。Arazni的一些追隨者認為Lamashtu是一個模範,展示了一個權力和聲望的小型生物如何踢、抓和咬出一條路。

最複雜的關係是Arazni和Iomedae之間的關係。紅后對她曾經的聖騎士懷恨在心,只因她走上了一條相對輕鬆和成功的神性之路。後繼者在閃耀遠征中取得了成功,而Arazni卻被壓垮了。Iomedae通過星石考驗後,接替了遠征君先鋒的位置,成為了Aroden的令使。

然而,即使在她的怨恨中,Arazni仍認為沒有人應該被迫接受她所面臨的考驗,因此在仇恨和惡意的背後,她的一小部分感到安慰,甚至為Iomedae的成就感到自豪。

The PCs might not be willing to speak with Arazni and might even try to attack her; if so, she sadly intones, “I, too, have difficulty trusting people,” and flees by casting a quickened dimension door.

小補充之暴君之握裡如果攻擊阿拉茲妮的話她會表現得理解且哀傷,覺得派佐真的把這個角色刻畫得超級好……

The Three Fears of Pharasma

└ 果園翻譯 - 不需登入

補充一下,雖然2008的書寫到阿拉茲妮的死亡導致諸神決定創造Achaekek(Many drew together to create the mantis god Achaekek to protect them from such threats
但2019年發表的〈風歌聖約:法拉茲瑪三懼事〉是把Achaekek列為創世時首批出現的八位神靈之一。

考慮到Achaekek的獨特性,我自己比較喜歡風歌聖約的版本……(在我心中Achaekek是行刑者而不是守護者)

而且看了一下wiki條目,Achaekek被歸在Gods of Ancient Azlant裡頭,早在阿茲蘭特時代就有信眾了,年代明顯比Arazni死亡要早上太多,我覺得2008年那本書的早期設定應該是被刪除了。

Rage of Creation

└ 果園翻譯 - 不需登入

2020年發表的另一篇風歌聖約:創世之怒也有提到紅螳螂,以及在過去的設定集中一般要到星殞後的黑暗時代才會被提起的戰神古拉姆。覺得可能是派佐近年來決定補完創世時期的設定,所以許多神明被加進了古老的行列中...
