圣者艾丽西亚的考验

Excerpt from a greater work detailing the creation of the Amulet of Kings

在很久以前，阿卡托什就和艾丽西亚签下了一纸协议。他把散落在湮灭空间的各种混乱游丝收集起来并用自己心脏中鲜血的动力把它们牢牢地组织在一起，然后他把它们交给了艾丽西亚，说道：“这就是我给你的礼物，只要你能保证你们的血统和誓言，我就能使我的鲜血和誓言起到作用。这件礼物应该被称作诸王护符，这纸协议必须是你我二人之间签定的。我是神明之中的王者，而你则是凡人间的女王。你将要见证并代表所有凡世间的生灵，而我则会见证并代表所有的神明。

接着阿卡托什就从自己的胸中抽取了一大把燃烧着的心脏之血，他把这些鲜血放在了艾丽西亚的手中并说道，我不变的誓言以及我体内的鲜血也是赐予你的礼物。只要你和你的后继人戴着这件诸王护符，龙之火就会点燃——那是一束永恒的火焰——这也是所有凡人和神明间忠诚的表示。只要龙之火在燃烧，对你以及你们的后代，我可以保证用我心脏的血液牢牢地系住湮灭空间的大门。

只要龙之血在她的后继人之间顺利传递，帝国的光芒将会在接下去的时代里继续闪耀并扩大。但是如果龙之火被熄灭了，而且没有皇族血统的继任者接下这件“诸王护符”，那么帝国将会陷入无尽的黑暗之中，那些暴虐的恶魔领主将会统治这片土地。

Trials of St. Alessia

Excerpt from a greater work detailing the creation of the Amulet of Kings

Akatosh made a covenant with Alessia in those days so long ago. He gathered the tangled skeins of Oblivion, and knit them fast with the bloody sinews of his Heart, and gave them to Alessia, saying, 'This shall be my token to you, that so long as your blood and oath hold true, yet so shall my blood and oath be true to you. This token shall be the Amulet of Kings, and the Covenant shall be made between us, for I am the King of Spirits, and you are the Queen of Mortals. As you shall stand witness for all Mortal Flesh, so shall I stand witness for all Immortal Spirits.'

And Akatosh drew from his breast a burning handful of his Heart's blood, and he gave it into Alessia's hand, saying, 'This shall also be a token to you of our joined blood and pledged faith. So long as you and your descendants shall wear the Amulet of Kings, then shall this dragonfire burn -- an eternal flame -- as a sign to all men and gods of our faithfulness. So long as the dragonfires shall burn, to you, and to all generations, I swear that my Heart's blood shall hold fast the Gates of Oblivion.

So long as the Blood of the Dragon runs strong in her rulers, the glory of the Empire shall extend in unbroken years. But should the dragonfires fail, and should no heir of our joined blood wear the Amulet of Kings, then shall the Empire descend into darkness, and the Demon Lords of Misrule shall govern the land.'

-- from the liturgy of the Re-Kindling of the Dragonfires
