汤镬汉化译本
下列笔记由我于过去几个世纪中所撰,用以辑录各色超凡法器。 下列神器在全泰姆瑞尔大陆失而复得、得而复失、循环往复。其中有些可能是神话传说,有些可能是骗局整蛊,但无论如何,许多人在对此类令人垂涎之物的寻宝和护宝的过程中丧命。
君王链甲
有时亦唤作墨里奥斯之甲或凯娜瑞丝馈赠,是质量无与伦比的古代胸甲。其赋予着甲者吸收生命值、抵御魔法效果并在并在中毒后解毒的神力。据说,当凯娜瑞丝认为着甲者难堪兹位时,君王链甲便会被剥夺,并藏匿至下一位获选者出现。
黑檀岩链甲
黑檀岩链甲在史前时代由暗精灵女神波耶西亚所造。谁人穿得此甲,且可保有多久,均决于她手。如果某一着甲者得到认可,护甲的法力会给予着甲者额外的火焰抗性、魔法抗性,并提供魔法护盾。着甲者几时失去着甲资格只由波耶西亚方能决定,而女神可能非常反复无常。
破法者
明面上看是一面锻莫塔盾的破法者是泰姆瑞尔最古老的神器之一。除却其于鲁肯-沙利多之战中的重要戏份以外,破法者几乎可以护持盾者以周全,通过反射魔法或使任何施法中的法师沉默使其免受免受任何施法者侵害。据说,破法者仍眷念故主,并不会久居他人篱下。对大多数人而言,持有破法者不论多久,都是赚到不亏。
克里萨米尔
圣骑士之剑是一柄古老的阔剑,攻防俱佳,甚至防御方面更胜一筹。 其可为执剑人增益生命,使之免于火焰伤害,并将对执剑人施放的各种法术反弹给施法者。少有剑士可挥舞克里萨米尔哪怕须臾,只因其择勇士豪杰而栖,而非逢迎之物。
玛格努斯之杖
作为泰姆瑞尔上古神器之一的玛格努斯之杖,对其创造者玛格努斯而言是一种形而上学的装置。使用时,其将吸噬敌方的生命和秘法能量。随着时间的推移,法杖会在持有其的法师变得过强,足以破坏法杖誓要捍卫的秘法平衡之前弃他而去。
男巫之戒
大法师锡拉拜恩的男巫之戒是神话和寓言中最受欢迎的神器之一。在泰姆瑞尔的古久历史中,锡拉拜恩对其戒指的精妙操作拯救了全大陆,自彼时起,戒指还帮助了一些并不志存高远的冒险者。其以能够反弹对佩戴者施放的法术而最为闻名,且可为佩戴者加速并恢复生命。没有冒险者可以长期据有男巫之戒,因为传言说,戒指由锡拉拜恩径自发号施令。
菲纳斯特之戒
数百年前,一位需要上乘防护以在冒险生涯中存活的人士制造了菲纳斯特之戒。菲纳斯特数百年的寿数,全仰仗此枚戒指,自其后就在外人间相传起来。戒指提升了佩戴者对毒药、魔法和电击的整体抵御。尽管如此,菲纳斯特仍然狡猾地诅咒这枚戒指,以至于其最终从持有者的所有中消失并返回另一个栖身之地,不满于留在除菲纳斯特本尊以外的他处。
凯季特之戒
凯季特之戒是一件古老的遗物,其出现早于使用并令此戒指闻名的盗贼拉津数百年。拉津用戒指的力量令自己隐踪匿迹,风驰电掣。有赖于戒指,他成为了艾斯维尔历史中的头号大盗。拉津的下场是个谜,但据传说,戒指对长期此种勾当以逆反并消失,令拉津在敌人面前束手无策。
莫拉格-巴尔之锤
又名吸血鬼钉锤,莫拉格-巴尔之锤汲取其受害者的法力并移转至持有者,对敌方的体力亦如是,也将之转移给其持有者。莫拉格-巴尔对其神器非常率性。有关此柄钉锤的传说众多,其似乎是征服法师的上佳之选。
卡拉维库斯·维尔面具
古时候,“太虚”卡拉维库斯·维尔制作了一副适合自身个性的面具。面具佩戴者更有可能得到泰姆瑞尔民众的积极响应。其个性越鲜明,增益便越大。此副假面最为人知的故事便是闻名遐迩的贵妇阿瓦莉亚的传说。在少女时代,她被一个恶毒的下人严重毁容。阿瓦莉亚与卡拉维库斯·维尔做了一笔黑暗交易,报偿便是面具。虽然假面没有改变她的相貌,但霎时间她便广受众人尊敬与爱慕。在与一位交往深厚的男爵结婚一年零一天后,卡拉维库斯·维尔重新取回了面具。尽管已经怀了他的种,阿瓦莉亚还是被男爵的家族扫地出门。二十一年零一天后,阿瓦莉亚之女以弑父报仇雪恨。
梅鲁涅斯利刃
历代以来,黑暗兄弟会都垂涎这把黑檀岩匕首。此等神话级法器能够瞬杀任何生物。梅鲁涅斯利刃的任何持有者都于史无据。然而,黑暗兄弟会一度被一场恶性内斗所重挫元气。人皆怀疑此事与利刃有关。
救世主的庇护
海尔辛的另一件神器是救世主的庇护胸甲。胸甲具有抵御魔法的特殊功能。传说海尔辛将其剥皮赐予第一个也是唯一一个逃离其猎场的凡人。这位佚名的凡人将剥皮制作了此件魔法胸甲,为其未来的冒险所用。救世主的庇护有在英豪之间流转的趋势,犹如自作主张一般。
苦仁之矛
苦仁之矛则是更为神秘的神器之一了。世人对此矛几近一无所知。虽然于史籍已不可考,但多则认同其乃魔族本源之说。唯一闻名而与其相关的传说是,在战斗尖塔陷落之时,一名强悍英雄持有此矛。此英雄倚借长矛襄助,击败了梅鲁涅斯·大衮并重夺战斗尖塔。自彼时后,苦仁之矛便鲜见于泰姆瑞尔。
众魔灾厄
众魔灾厄是一柄强力钉锤,由无常暴烈之火中的神圣黑檀岩锻造而成。其作为麦坎的传奇兵戈,曾是用于将黑暗造物送回湮灭的利器。该武器具有从湮灭召唤生物的能力,过去用于对抗战斗尖塔中对抗魔族战将,现在正与冒险者一起浪迹大陆。
暗影之弓
传说中,暗影之弓是由魔君诺克图娜尔铸造。传奇级游侠雷尔拉斯·吉尔为执行秘密任务获赠此弓,然而功败垂成,弓也丢失不见。雷尔拉斯的战败并非激战不敌,据信,凭借此弓,他放倒了许多敌人。此弓给予射手以隐形和提速的能力。暗影之弓的目击记录层出不穷,甚至据说第二纪元时阴狠的暗精灵刺客卓姆便曾持有此弓。
朗达古夫之拳
贝加林氏的朗达古夫以天际最强战士之一之名载入了泰姆瑞尔史册。他以悍勇善战闻名,并且影响了众多战局。当哈拉尔德王征伐天际时,他终于迎来了自己命运的结局。哈拉尔德王敬重此位豪杰,却自将夺走了朗达古夫的腕甲。哈拉尔德王驾崩后,腕甲便消失不见。国王声称朗达古夫之拳腕甲赋予了穿戴者更大的气力。
君王冰刃
君王冰刃实乃泰姆瑞尔最为珍贵的神器之一。传说有闻,邪恶的大法师阿尔米昂·塞尔莫用一只寻常寒霜元素的加强形态——寒霜君王的灵魂附魔了一名勇士的阔剑。战士苏尼亚尔·阿西本打算参与对一位域外贤王行刺,并僭祚为新君。暗杀失败,大法师也被囚禁。冰刃会冻结任何剑下之敌。君王冰刃在人际相传,不得久留。
周遭之戒
世人对此件神器知之甚少,但据说其能使佩戴者能够融入周遭环境。
使徒之靴
使徒之靴是一个真正的谜。据信,穿上靴子后着靴者便能悬浮起来,尽管未尝有人目睹如此。
导师之戒
对任何魔法学徒而论,此枚戒指都是珍贵的财富。其可以提升佩戴者更多智慧与智识,从而更高效地使用魔法。据传卡尼·阿斯隆高阶巫师制造了这枚戒指。这是他为聆其教诲的门下年轻弟子所作。在阿斯隆故去后,戒指和其他一些财产散佚,并在整个泰姆瑞尔流转。
疾风之戒
此枚戒指的实质尚不为人知,但望文生义而论,再辅以少数传闻令人认为其可为佩戴者提速。
吸血鬼之戒
吸血鬼之戒是泰姆瑞尔最为致命而稀有的神器之一。据说戒指有能力汲取受害者的生命并转予佩戴者。戒指的确切本性和起源完全未知,但许多长者则称此物乃旧时晨风一众吸血鬼追随者的邪恶创造。吸血鬼之戒是一种极为罕见的神器,每隔上百个双月循环周期才会出现一次。
埃雷唐坚盾
埃雷唐是布莱顿历史上的传奇圣骑士。他因痛改前非的勇气和决心而广受追捧。在一个故事中,据说他将男爵命悬一线的女儿从邪恶战将手中救出。作为报偿,男爵倾尽财帛为埃雷顿打造了一面附魔盾牌。该盾牌可让埃雷唐有几率治愈创伤。
哈泽多基之杖
哈泽多基据说是个争强好胜的巫师。他巡游四方,寻觅劲敌。据他所知,他从未找到一个接下战书的巫师。据信,他因为其法力为众多人所畏惧而感到颇为孤寂,便将自己的生命力与其法杖合为一体,其灵魂附于法杖之上,直至当下。泰姆瑞尔全大陆的施法者一直在寻找这魔杖。其可赋予持有者以魔法防护,显然对任何施法者而言都是一件宝具。
血虫之盔
血虫之盔据说是蠕虫之王珍贵的孑遗之一。头盔乃是魔法构建的骨骼的造物。头盔准许佩戴者召唤骷髅并操纵亡灵。此盔对死灵法师而言可谓一件珍贵的神器。
龙骨链甲
此件胸甲是任何收藏家或英雄都可拥有的最顶级神器之一。其由真正龙骨所造,在第三纪元初期被帝国首席战斗法师祖林·阿克图斯附魔。其制作精良、巧夺天工,欲据为己有者甚众。胸甲的魔力是令佩戴者抵御火焰,并以火焰爆能击伤敌人。有关祖林·阿克图斯与胸甲的附魔之间的知之甚少,但一个古老的传说声称他于一位云游勇士有所亏欠。就像战士征战四方一般,龙骨链甲亦从不作久留。
碎颅者
碎颅者是一柄硕大而强力的兵器。此战锤是由巫师多拉克·古萨尔以魔能燃起的炉火为热量,由良匠希尔邦高·罗拉穆斯锻造而成。钢材由魔法硬化,武器的自重惊人地轻,从而使挥击更为强力,捶打更加致命。该战锤本打算是用作节日展览,但盗贼抢先窃据之。碎颅者仍然在泰姆瑞尔寻求与匠人的重逢。
黄金烙印
这柄魔法太刀简直是个彻头彻尾的谜。盗贼们常谈及其黄金构造以及实质地被北境古龙所铸的传说。故事讲到,其本是赠予一名立誓保卫龙族的强大骑士之物。此太刀赋予执剑人以火焰杀伤敌方的能力。黄金烙印在近代不见诸史册,可谓兵刃有利剑,宝刀待英雄。
哈尼赫纳迈之牙
黑沼泽曾经以阿尔贡人呼之为“瓦马苏斯”的沼龙的栖息地而闻名。北方人认为他们是智慧的龙族,血脉中流淌着闪电力量。这一族中一只强大的怪兽——哈尼赫纳迈,被北方人在七天七夜之内,以数十人的伤亡为代价所击杀。幸存者中的一员拔下一只尖牙作为战利品带回家。尖牙被雕刻成刀刃,制成了一把短匕。该匕首神秘地附有怪兽本身的一些魔法属性,并令使用者可对对手造成电击伤害。此柄独特的匕首偶尔会为云游四方的英杰们所目睹。
暗影剑
暗影剑由古代女巫奈茵拉·瓦尔所附魔,其唯一目的即是俘获灵魂。此剑与灵魂石结合使用,令执剑人有机会将敌人的灵魂囚禁在灵魂石中。奈茵拉因其恶堕造物而被处决,但在此前她将暗影剑藏匿起来。暗影剑对执剑人的选择甚是挑剔,因此在堪当斯任者出现前会一直隐匿不见。
丹斯塔格莫之戒
我们只知道该戒指可予以佩戴者对于某些元素伤害的保护。就连丹斯塔格莫这个名字也是个谜。
“熊爪”奥瑞因之盔
“熊爪”奥瑞因是威木的传奇英雄之一。身为“蛤目”弗姆王之子,他是受人尊敬的氏族猎手和储君。木精灵传说声称奥瑞因孤身一人击败了精灵森林的蛇妖女巫格伦弗努亚,为其氏族带来了永远的和平。奥瑞因本要实践其王道征途,却最终丧命于纳哈腾流感。他的头盔作为对其伟业的纪念而留存,供后人铭记。随着氏族分裂,头盔最终散佚,现在成了冒险者的争相竞逐的神器。据传,“熊爪”奥瑞因之盔可以提升佩戴者的敏捷与耐力。
魔族新月刃
可能所有神器中最稀有,甚至最不为官厅法度所容忍之物便是魔族新月刃了。梅鲁涅斯·大衮的魔族大军在攻占帝国战斗尖塔时使用了这种刀兵。此类尤其独特的兵器在帝国光复战斗尖塔后便集中销毁。却唯独漏了一把。 尽管帝国确信已尽数销毁,但有传言称在泰姆瑞尔的某处仍有一把留存,虽然未尝有人一睹。新月刃令持有者对敌人以巨大杀伤,并允许其麻痹敌人和极大磨损提防护甲。倘若此物确实存在,那对任何猛士而言都是相当不错的神器。
官方繁中译本(转简体)
以下是我过去几世纪收集到的笔记,记载着重要性超乎想象的物品。这些物品遍布泰姆瑞尔各地,曾被人发现、收藏,再流落他方,一次又一次。有些物品可能存在于神话之中,有些可能到头来是场骗局。许多人力图寻找或保护这样人人觊觎的物品,并在过程中丢了性命。
圣主链甲
此古老胸甲有时又称莫利奥斯的护甲或凯娜瑞丝的馈赠,质量无与伦比。穿戴此胸甲者可吸取生命力、抵抗法术效果,并为自己解毒。据说每当凯娜瑞丝认为穿戴者不配拥有这件圣主链甲时,链甲就会消失,等待下个被选中的人出现。
黑檀链甲
黑檀链甲是黑暗精灵女神波耶西亚创造的胸甲,时间早于任何记载的历史。谁能拥有黑檀链甲,又能拥有多长时间,都是由她决定。如果女神认为链甲穿戴者具有资格,链甲就会赋予那人火焰和法力抗性,并赐予魔盾。穿戴者是否有资格继续拥有链甲,全凭波耶西亚决定,而这位女神有时可是相当不讲道理的。
破术盾
外表看起来像锻莫塔盾的破术盾,是最古老的泰姆瑞尔圣器之一。破术盾在洛肯沙利多之战奠定了重大历史意义,能反弹法力,或让即将施法的法师噤声,保护持有者不受几乎所有法术影响。据说破术盾仍在寻找自己原有的主人,因此停留在他人身边的时间不会太久。而对大多数人来说,无论时间长短,能拥有破术盾已是足够强大的事了。
克萨米尔剑
这把圣殿骑士之刃是古老的双刃宽剑。除非再出现同样一把剑,否则没有其他剑能挡下其攻击的威力。此剑赋予持有者生命,保护持有者免受火焰伤害。任何对持有者施展的法术都会反弹回施术者身上。鲜少有人能长时间保有此剑,因它选择不去拥护任何一名战士。
玛格努斯之杖
玛格努斯之杖是泰姆瑞尔最古老的文物之一。创造者玛格努斯创造了此杖,用来储存其力量。使用时,它会吸收敌人的生命力和神秘能量。随着时间过去,持有此杖的法师会变得过于强大,打破此杖誓言守护的神秘平衡。因此法杖会在此事发生之前抛弃持有者。
巫师的指环
首席法师席拉班恩的巫师指环,是最受欢迎的神话与寓言圣物之一。泰姆瑞尔的古老历史里,席拉班恩使用指环的明智审慎之举拯救了整个大陆。且自那时起,指环也开始帮助其他目标较平凡的冒险家。指环最出名的特点就是能反弹对穿戴者施展的法术,并提升其速度、恢复生命力。冒险家能配戴指环的时间不长,原因在于据说只有席拉班恩一人能对指环发号施令。
费纳斯特指环
费纳斯特指环是在数百年前制成,制作的冒险家想藉此获得强大的防护力保命。多亏了这枚指环,费纳斯特活了数百年,之后指环又传给好几个人。配戴指环能提升对毒素、法力和电击的整体抗性。不过狡猾的费纳斯特对指环下了诅咒,所以指环最终会从持有人的手中消失,回到另一座安息地,唯有和费纳斯特待在一起它才甘心。
虎人的指环
虎人的指环是古代遗物,比让指环出名的小偷拉津还老上好几百岁。拉津靠指环的力量隐形且来去如风。他靠指环成为艾斯维尔史上最成功的窃贼。拉津最后下落成谜,但据传说所言,由于拉津使用过度频繁,指环决定消失反抗,让拉津在敌人面前手足无措。
莫拉格·巴尔钉锤
莫拉格·巴尔钉锤也称作吸血鬼钉锤,能吸收受害者的法力,再转移到持有者身上。也能够将敌人的力量转移到持有者身上。莫拉格·巴尔用起文物毫不手软。关于钉锤有很多传说,看来这把钉锤特别常用来消灭巫师。
克拉维克斯·瓦尔的面具
爱慕虚荣的克拉维克斯·瓦尔做了一张很符合他个性的面具。戴上面具比较有机会得到泰姆瑞尔人的青睐。毕竟个性越鲜明的人就越吃香。这张面具有个最出名的故事,主角是小有名气的贵妇亚薇里雅。她年轻时残遭怀恨在心的仆人毁容。亚薇里雅因此去找克拉维克斯·瓦尔谈了一桩黑暗交易,以此换来面具。虽然面具并未改变她的面容,她却赢得了所有人的尊重和爱慕。后来她与一位人脉广阔的公爵结婚一年又一天后,克拉维克斯·瓦尔就拿回了面具。即便亚薇里雅怀着公爵的子嗣,还是被赶出了家门。二十一年又一天后,亚薇里雅的女儿杀了公爵,替母亲报了仇。
梅鲁涅斯的利刃
黑暗兄弟会世世代代都在觊觎这把黑檀匕首。这个神秘的文物能瞬间杀死任何生物。文献上并没有记载梅鲁涅斯的利刃的持有人,但黑暗兄弟会曾因为内鬨恶斗,损失了一大批人。有人怀疑这把利刃与此事有关。
救世主皮革胸甲
救世主皮革胸甲也是海尔辛的文物。这件胸甲有抵抗法力的特殊能力。据传海尔辛将他的皮革送给了第一位、也是唯一一位成功逃离他狩猎场的人类。这位身份不明的人类将皮革制成了具法力的胸甲,以应付未来的冒险。救世主皮革通常在英雄间相传,好像有着自己的意志。
苦涩仁慈之矛
苦涩仁慈之矛堪称最神秘的文物,大家对这把长矛所知甚少。虽然没有文献记载,但许多人认为长矛源自魔族。根据目前唯一知道的一则传说,有位威猛的英雄在征战尖塔沦陷时用了这把长矛。英雄借助长矛之力,打败了梅鲁涅斯·大衮,夺回征战尖塔。自此,苦涩仁慈之矛就鲜少在泰姆瑞尔出现。
魔族之锤
魔族之锤是用圣黑檀以菲克戴尔之火铸成,威力无穷。这把玛肯的传奇武器力量强大,曾用来将黑灵遣送回湮灭领域。这把武器能从湮灭领域召唤生物,曾在征战尖塔用来对抗魔族领主,现在则跟着冒险家云游四方。
暗影弓
据传暗影弓是由魔族诺克图娜尔铸成。传奇游侠瑞拉斯·吉勒为了执行秘密任务,拿到了这把弓,但任务失败后,弓也消失无踪。瑞拉斯在死前奋力一搏,据说靠着暗影弓杀死了数十个敌人。这把弓可以让使用者隐形并提高速度。很多人都说看过暗影弓,据说连邪恶的第二纪元暗精灵杀手德拉姆都拿过这把弓。
蓝达格尔夫拳套
贝加林家族的蓝达格尔夫,堪称泰姆瑞尔史上最威猛的天际省战士。他战斗时以胆识和残暴闻名,是好几场战役的致胜关键。他最终死于哈拉尔德王征服天际省之时。哈拉尔德王相当敬重这位英雄,便将蓝达格尔夫的拳套收为己有。哈拉尔德王死后,拳套也不翼而飞。这位君王宣称戴上拳套能提高力量。
君主冰锋
君主冰锋可说是泰姆瑞尔最珍贵的文物。据传邪恶的首席法师亚迷翁·瑟莫利用霜君的灵魂,对伟大战士的双刃宽剑施了咒,那可是比寒霜元素还要强大的型态。这位战士图格纳尔·亚西要到远方的国度暗杀一位大王,并取而代之成为新的领袖。暗杀最终失败,法师也受到监禁。日后被冰锋碰到的人都会冻结。冰锋一再易主,从不会留在同个地方太久。
环境指环
大家对这件珍品的认识不多,但据说戴了能够融入环境。
使徒靴
使徒靴全然是个谜。据说穿了靴子能够浮到空中,但没人看过有谁真的穿上那双靴子。
导师的指环
这枚指环对魔法学徒来说是很珍贵的物品。戴了能够提高智力和智慧,运用魔法的效率更高。据说这枚指环是高等巫师卡尔尼·亚斯荣为了他的年轻学徒所制作。亚斯荣死后,指环和他手上其他物品消失,在泰姆瑞尔四处流转。
风之指环
众人对这枚指环一无所知,但从名称和几则谣言判断,穿戴后应该能提高速度。
吸血鬼指环
吸血鬼指环是泰姆瑞尔十分致命且稀有的文物。据说指环能够窃取受害者的生命值,再转移给佩戴的人。指环的特性和起源完全不明,但许多长者都说,指环是很久很久以前一群吸血鬼的追随者在晨风省打造而成。吸血鬼指环是极为稀有的文物,要等月相经过几百个轮回才能见到一次。
伊莱顿的防护
伊莱顿是布莱顿史上的传奇圣骑士。他因为具备胆识和斩妖除恶的决心,受到许多人喜爱。据说他曾经从邪恶军阀的手中,救出了原本必死无疑的公爵女儿。公爵随后费尽毕生积蓄制作施了法的盾牌,赠予伊莱顿以回报他的义举。盾牌让伊莱顿在作战途中能有时间疗伤。
哈塞朵其法杖
哈塞朵其据说是个非常好胜的巫师,他四处寻找比自己厉害的巫师。就目前所知,他从未找到能胜过他的巫师。据说因为许多人都很害怕他的能力,他感到十分孤立,所以将自己的生命力和法杖合而为一。他的灵魂至今仍栖身在法杖里。泰姆瑞尔各地会施展魔法的人都在寻觅这把魔杖。拿起法杖就能抵御法力,对施展魔法的人而言可是相当珍贵的法器。
血虫头盔
据说蛆虫之王留下了一件珍贵财宝,就是血虫头盔。头盔是用魔法形塑的骨骼制成,戴上头盔就能召唤骷髅,并控制不死生物。对死灵术士来说,这是一件十分珍贵的文物。
龙骨链甲
这件胸甲在收藏家和英雄的眼里,都是厉害无比的文物。胸甲用真正的龙骨制成,在第三纪元初年由第一位帝国战斗法师祖林·亚克图司施咒。作工十分精细,许多人都想收为己有。穿戴这件特殊的胸甲可抵御火焰,还能喷火对敌人造成伤害。众人不太清楚祖林·亚克图司为何会对胸甲施法,但有个古老传说提到他欠了一位旅人战士的人情。龙骨链甲和那位战士一样,从不会在同个地方待上太久。
碎颅者
碎颅者是一件体积庞大、威力十足的武器。这把战锤是顶尖武器匠希尔邦格德·罗拉姆斯,在巫师多拉克·古萨尔以法力助燃的火焰中铸成。钢铁经过法力加持提高硬度,拿起来却奇轻无比,挥舞起来威力强大,能使出致命一击。战锤原本要在庆典时展示,却被小偷捷足先登。碎颅者仍在泰姆瑞尔四处移动,想找到自己的创造者。
金印武士刀
这把魔刀可说是个谜。小偷间流传的故事交待了黄金的刀身,以及刀其实是由北方古龙铸造而来的过程。故事提到武士刀交给了一位誓言保卫龙群的顶尖骑士。挥舞武士刀能够对敌人造成火焰伤害。近代历史没有金印武士刀的目击纪录,据说武士刀还在等待配得上自己的英雄。
黑涅赫纳美龙之牙
据说黑沼曾住着亚龙人称为瓦玛素斯的生物。北方人认为牠们是聪颖的嗜血龙族,其中威猛的黑涅赫纳美龙被北方人所杀,耗时七天七夜,许多人因此牺牲。有位活下来的人拔下一颗龙牙,带回家作为战利品。龙牙被开了锋,做成小型匕首。神秘的是,匕首还具有猛龙的魔力,使用起来能对敌人造成电击伤害。有时会在云游的英雄身上看到这把独特的匕首。
暗影剑
暗影剑由古代女巫宁拉·维尔施咒,唯一的用途就是囚禁灵魂。此剑搭配灵魂石,有机会将敌人的灵魂囚禁到石中。宁拉因为创造了这把邪恶的剑而遭到处决,却在死前将剑藏了起来。暗影剑对主人十分挑剔,在找到够格的主人前绝不轻易现身。
丹仕塔格莫的指环
大家只知道佩戴上这枚指环就能抵抗特定元素。就连名字“丹仕塔格莫”都是个谜。
奥林·熊爪之盔
奥林·熊爪是威木省的一位传奇英雄。他是国王佛姆·蟾蜍眼的儿子,是受人敬重的氏族猎人和接班人。木精灵的传说提到奥林独身打败了精灵森林的蛇魔女格伦威法恩瓦,为氏族带来了永久的和平。奥林后续又完成了许多成就,最终罹患克拿哈顿流感而丧命。这顶头盔象征了他的伟大,供未来的世世代代留念。最终氏族分裂,头盔也消失无踪,冒险家视之为珍贵的文物。据传戴上奥林·熊爪之盔能提高敏捷和耐力。
魔族新月剑
魔族新月剑在所有奇珍异品中算得上是最稀有的一件,这把剑甚至是非法物品。梅鲁涅斯·大衮的魔族军队在占领帝国征战尖塔时,用的就是这种剑。帝国夺回征战尖塔后,将这种独一无二的剑全部收集起来销毁,唯独漏了一把。虽然帝国认为已全数销毁,但谣传还有一把在泰姆瑞尔某处,只是没人见过。这把剑能够对敌人造成大量伤害,还能麻痺敌人,严重破坏敌人的护甲。如果这把剑确实存在,对威武的战士来说可是个宝藏。
原文
Tamrielic Lore: Revised
The following are notes I have gathered, over the past centuries, of items of unimaginable significance. All have been seen, owned, and lost, again and again throughout Tamriel. Some may be myth, others may be hoax, but regardless, many have lost their lives attempting to find or protect these very coveted items.
Lord's Mail
Sometimes called the Armor of Morihaus or the gift of Kynareth, this is an ancient cuirass of unsurpassable quality. It grants the wearer power to absorb health, resist the effects of spells, and cure oneself of poison when used. It is said that whenever Kynareth deigns the wearer unworthy, the Lord's Mail will be taken away and hidden for the next chosen one.
Ebony Mail
The Ebony Mail is a breastplate created before recorded history by the Dark Elven goddess Boethiah. It is she who determines who should possess the Ebony Mail and for how long a time. If judged worthy, its power grants the wearer added resistance of fire, magicka, and grants a magical shield. It is Boethiah alone who determines when a person is ineligible to bear the Ebony Mail any longer, and the goddess can be very capricious.
Spell Breaker
Spell Breaker, superficially a Dwemer tower shield, is one of the most ancient relics of Tamriel. Aside from its historical importance in the Battle of Rourken-Shalidor, the Spell Breaker protects its wielder almost completely from any spell caster, either by reflecting magicks or silencing any mage about to cast a spell. It is said that Spell Breaker still searches for its original owner, and will not remain the property of anyone else for long. For most, possessing Spell Breaker for any length of time is power enough.
Chrysamere
The Paladin's Blade is an ancient claymore with offensive capabilities surpassed only by its own defenses. It lends the wielder health, protects him or her from fire, and reflects any spells cast against the wielder back to the caster. Seldom has Chrysamere been wielded by any bladesman for any length of time, for it chooses not to favor one champion.
Staff of Magnus
The Staff of Magnus, one of the elder artifacts of Tamriel, was a metaphysical battery of sorts for its creator, Magnus. When used, it absorbs an enemy's health and mystical energy. In time, the Staff will abandon the mage who wields it before he becomes too powerful and upsets the mystical balance it is sworn to protect.
Warlock's Ring
The Warlock's Ring of the Archmage Syrabane is one of the most popular relics of myth and fable. In Tamriel's ancient history, Syrabane saved all of the continent by judicious use of his Ring, and ever since, it has helped adventurers with less lofty goals. It is best known for its ability to reflect spells cast at its wearer and to improve his or her speed and to restore health. No adventurer can wear the Warlock's Ring for long, for it is said that the Ring is Syrabane's alone to command.
Ring of Phynaster
The Ring of Phynaster was made hundreds of years ago by a man who needed good defenses to survive his adventurous life. Thanks to the Ring, Phynaster lived for hundreds of years, and since then it has passed from person to person. The Ring improves its wearer's overall resistance to poison, magicka, and shock. Still, Phynaster was cunning and cursed the ring so that it eventually disappears from its holder's possessions and returns to another resting place, discontent to stay anywhere but with Phynaster himself.
Ring of Khajiit
The Ring of the Khajiit is an ancient relic, hundreds of years older than Rajhin, the thief that made the Ring famous.

Rajhin's eventual fate is a mystery, but according to legend, the Ring rebelled against such constant use and disappeared, leaving Rajhin helpless before his enemies.

Masque of Clavicus Vile
Ever the vain one, Clavicus Vile made a masque suited to his own personality. The bearer of the Masque is more likely to get a positive response from the people of Tamriel. The higher his personality, the larger the bonus. The best known story of the Masque tells the tale of Avalea, a noblewoman of some renown. As a young girl, she was grossly disfigured by a spiteful servant. Avalea made a dark deal with Clavicus Vile and received the Masque in return. Though the Masque did not change her looks, suddenly she had the respect and admiration of everyone. A year and a day after her marriage to a well connected baron, Clavicus Vile reclaimed the Masque. Although pregnant with his child, Avalea was banished from the Baron's household. Twenty one years and one day later, Avalea's daughter claimed her vengeance by slaying the Baron.

The warrior, Thurgnarr Assi, was to play a part in the assassination of a great king in a far off land, and become the new leader. The assassination failed and the Archmage was imprisoned.

Skull Crusher
The Skull Crusher is an amazingly large, and powerful weapon. The Warhammer was created in a fire, magically fueled by the Wizard, Dorach Gusal, and was forged by the great weaponsmith, Hilbongard Rolamus.

One such mighty beast, Haynekhtnamet, was slain by the Northern men, though it took 7 days and nights, and a score of men. One of the surviving men took a fang home as a trophy. The fang was carved down into a blade and fashioned into a small dagger. The Dagger mysteriously houses some of the beast's magical properties and grants the user the ability to do shock damage on an opponent. This unique Dagger is seen occasionally by traveling heroes.
Umbra Sword
The Umbra Sword was enchanted by the ancient witch Naenra Waerr, and its sole purpose was the entrapment of souls.

The Umbra Sword is very choosy when it comes to owners and therefore remains hidden until a worthy one is found.

Though the Empire believes them all to be destroyed, it is rumored that one still remains in existence, somewhere in Tamriel, though none have ever seen it. The Blade lends its wielder the ability to do great damage on an enemy and allows him to paralyze and put heavy wear on his enemy's armor. Quite the prize for any mighty warrior, if it does indeed exist.
