神秘的Akavir大陆

Akavir意思是龙的土地，Tamriel的意思是美丽的黎明，Atmora的意思是古老的森林，而Yokuda则只有红衣卫士才知道它的含义。
（wjxsm按：Akavir是位于Tamriel的晨风的东面的陆地；Atmora位于Tamriel大陆的北面，曾是诺德人的居住地；而Yokuda是位于Tamriel的高岩的西边海里的岛屿，曾是红衣卫士的故乡）

Akavir大陆是一个动物的世界。没有人能够生活在那里，虽然他们曾经生活过。很久以前生活在Akavir的人类，被Tsaesci国度的吸血蛇族当成猎物捕杀。最终，没有被吃掉的人，逃离了Akavir，来到了Tamriel。后来诺德人离开了家乡Atmora也来到了Tamriel。在他们之前，精灵族抛弃了Aldmeris，前往Tamriel。以及红衣卫士，他们在毁坏了家园Yokuda后，也踏上了前往Tamriel的旅途。所有的人类及精灵族都知道Tamriel是与宇宙万物的交汇点，在那里最后的战争将爆发，在那里众神招回了Lorkhan并留下了神秘的金钢石般坚硬的高塔（Direnni塔，已知的Tamriel大陆最古老的建筑）。又有谁知道Akaviri是怎么考虑Tamriel的呢，除了问问自己，为什么他们曾三次以上的尝试入侵Tamriel呢？

在Akavir大陆上，有着四个主要的国家：Kamal、Tsaesci、Tang Mo和Ka Po' Tun。目前他们之间的战争正如火如荼，丝毫没有精力去尝试入侵Tamriel。

Kamal意思为雪的地狱。居住在那里的恶魔组成了军队。每年的夏天，他们都会解冻，并入侵Tang Mo国度，但Tang Mo国的英勇猴类总能将他们击退。曾经有一次，一个叫做Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal的恶魔之王，企图征服Tamriel的晨风，但是被Almalexia和Underking消灭于红色山脉。

Tsaesci是蛇的宫殿，曾经是Akavir最强大的一股力量（在虎-龙人出现之前）。很久以前这些蛇族吃光了Akavir的所有人类，但是它们长的看上去倒是有点儿像人类。它们很高，也很美丽，身上覆盖着金色的鳞片，并且是不死的。它们从周边岛上抓来小妖精（类似于兽人的物种），用以提供它们劳动力和新鲜血液。这些在Tsaesci是很普遍的。每当Tamriel的人想起Akaviri，他们就会联想到这些蛇族，因为在上个纪元，蛇族中的一员曾统治了Tamriel上的Cyrodilic帝国长达四百年，它的名字叫做Potentate Versidue-Shaie，后来被莫拉格帮会暗杀。

Tang Mo是一个有着成千上万猴子的岛屿。那里有着很多不同种类的猴族，并且它们都很友善、勇敢和单纯（当然有些也很疯狂）。一旦需要，它们可以随时组成军队，来抵御Akaviri上的其它国家。它们并不确定自己更憎恨哪个族，是蛇还是恶魔，但是如果你只询问它们中的一个，他可能会说是蛇。虽然曾经有些敌对，但现在这些猴族同Ka Po' Tun的虎-龙人结成了盟友。

Ka Po' Tun是虎-龙人帝国。这些猫科类种族被叫做Tosh Raka的虎-龙人统治着。它们现在是一个非常伟大的帝国，比Tsaesci更强大（除了在海里）。在蛇族吃了所有人类后，这些猫族开始试着吃龙。它们设法抓住了红龙，但是黑龙随后飞到了Ka Po' Tun。一场伟大的战争爆发了，最后它导致了猫族和蛇族实力的衰弱，而龙则全部被消灭了。从那以后，猫族就试着让自己变成龙。它们的领导人Tosh Raka第一个成功了。他成了世界上最大的龙，看上去是橙色和黑色的，并且他显得非常的有主意。（wjxsm按：所以它们被称为虎-龙人）
“首先”Tosh Raka说，“我们将消灭所有的吸血蛇族。”随后，虎-龙人帝国将入侵Tamriel。

wjxsm按:游戏中的Dai-Katana、Tanto等等日式武士刀类都是来自于Akavir大陆的武器。

 

 

以下是英文原文：

 

Mysterious Akavir

Akavir means "Dragon Land". Tamriel means "Dawn's Beauty." Atmora means "Elder Wood". Only the Redguards know what Yokuda ever meant.

Akavir is the kingdom of the beasts. No Men or Mer live in Akavir, though Men once did. These Men, however, were eaten long ago by the vampiric Serpent Folk of Tsaesci. Had they not been eaten, these Men would have eventually migrated to Tamriel. The Nords left Atmora for Tamriel. Before them, the Elves had abandoned Aldmeris for Tamriel. The Redguards destroyed Yokuda so they could make their journey. All Men and Mer know Tamriel is the nexus of creation, where the Last War will happen, where the Gods unmade Lorkhan and left their Adamantine Tower of secrets. Who knows what the Akaviri think of Tamriel, but ask yourself: why have they tried to invade it three times or more?

There are four major nations of Akavir: Kamal, Tsaesci, Tang Mo, and Ka Po' Tun. When they are not busy trying to invade Tamriel, they are fighting with each other.

Kamal is "Snow Hell". Demons live there, armies of them. Every summer they thaw out and invade Tang Mo, but the brave monkey-folk always drive them away. Once Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal, a king among demons, attempted to conquer Morrowind, but Almalexia and the Underking destroyed him at Red Mountain.

Tsaesci is "Snake Palace", once the strongest power in Akavir (before the Tiger-Dragon came). The serpent-folk ate all the Men of Akavir a long time ago, but still kind of look like them. They are tall, beautiful (if frightening), covered in golden scales, and immortal. They enslave the goblins of the surrounding isles, who provide labor and fresh blood. The holdings of Tsaesci are widespread. When natives of Tamriel think of the Akaviri they think of the Serpent-Folk, because one ruled the Cyrodilic Empire for four hundred years in the previous era. He was Potentate Versidue-Shaie, assassinated by the Morag Tong.

Tang Mo is the "Thousand Monkey Isles". There are many breeds of monkey-folk, and they are all kind, brave, and simple (and many are also very crazy). They can raise armies when they must, for all of the other Akaviri nations have, at one time or another, tried to enslave them. They cannot decide who they hate more, the Snakes or the Demons, but ask one, and he will probably say, "Snakes". Though once bitter enemies, the monkey-folk are now allies with the tiger-folk of Ka Po' Tun.

Ka Po' Tun is the "Tiger-Dragon's Empire". The cat-folk here are ruled by the divine Tosh Raka, the Tiger-Dragon. They are now a very great empire, stronger than Tsaesci (though not at sea). After the Serpent-Folk ate all the Men, they tried to eat all the Dragons. They managed to enslave the Red Dragons, but the black ones had fled to (then) Po Tun. A great war was raged, which left both the cats and the snakes weak, and the Dragons all dead. Since that time the cat-folk have tried to become the Dragons. Tosh Raka is the first to succeed. He is the largest Dragon in the world, orange and black, and he has very many new ideas.

"First," Tosh Raka says, "is that we kill all the vampire snakes." Then the Tiger-Dragon Emperor wants to invade Tamriel.
