The Rune Priests of the Space Wolves are the equivalent of the Librarians of other Space Marine Chapters.

太空野狼的符文牧师相当于其他星际战士战团的智库。

Rune Priest 符文牧师

Overview 概述

Known as Casters of Runes during the Horus Heresy, Rune Priests are combatant psykers using their psychic abilities to aid their brothers on the battlefield; off the battlefield, they are the keepers of the chapter's librarium and store of knowledge. The major difference is that Rune Priests do not believe their psychic abilities are derived from the Warp, but rather from the animistic spirits of their homeworld, Fenris, channeled through totems and runes on their armour. These traditions are descended from the shamanistic rituals of Fenris's native tribes, and have remained unchanged for countless centuries.

在荷鲁斯叛乱时期被称为符文祭司，符文牧师是战斗灵能者，利用他们的灵能能力在战场上帮助他们的兄弟；在战场之外，他们是本战团智库馆和知识库的守护者。主要区别在于符文牧师不相信他们的灵能能力来自亚空间，而是来自他们家园芬里斯的万物之灵，通过图腾和盔甲上的符文引导。这些传统源自芬里斯土著部落的萨满教仪式，无数个世纪以来一直保持不变。

In a way, the Rune Priests do not consider themselves to be psykers at all; during the Great Crusade, Leman Russ, the primarch of the Space Wolves, was among the voices in favour of disbanding the Librarius in each Space Marine Legion and prohibiting the use of psykers in any of them. Yet after the Emperor of Mankind issued his Decree at the Council of Nikaea, the Rune Priests continued to serve among the Space Wolves, stubbornly insisting that their powers had nothing to do with psychic ability. Much like White Scars Stormseers Rune Priests channel their power through the natural powers of Fenris and this serves as a limiting intermediary to protect them from the malign influences of the Warp.

在某种程度上，符文牧师根本不认为自己是灵能者；在大远征期间，太空野狼的原体黎曼·鲁斯是支持解散每个星际战士军团中的智库并禁止在其中任何一个军团中使用灵能者的声音之一。然而，在人类帝皇在尼凯亚会议上颁布法令后，符文牧师继续在太空野狼中服役，固执地坚持认为他们的力量与灵能能力无关。就像白色疤痕的风暴先知一样，符文牧师通过芬里斯的自然力量来引导他们的力量，这是一个限制性的媒介，可以保护他们免受亚空间的恶意影响。

Rune Priests preserve their Chapter's entire history not in written form, but memorize it in great sagas. A Rune Priest who begins his training as a Skald is usually assigned to a single Great Company where he is taught its tales. With every new Great Year he joins another Company until he has learned the Chapter's full history and can be sent to whichever Rune Priest needs an apprentice.

符文牧师保存他们战团的整个历史，不是以书面形式，而是在伟大的传说故事中记住它。一个符文牧师开始他的吟游诗人训练时，通常会被分配到一个大连，在那里他会被教导传说故事。随着每个新的一年的到来，他都会加入另一个连队，直到他了解了战团的完整历史，并可以被派往任何需要学徒的符文牧师那里。

The Space Wolves' sagas are chanted at their feast days and during the Festival of the Wolf Time which celebrates the Chapter's founding. This festival is held every twelve Great Years and each time great contests of saga-telling and psychic duelings are held to determine if a new High Rune Priest will be chosen. The High Rune Priest is the leader of the entire Chapter's Rune Priests and adviser to the Great Wolf. The Space Wolves field one Rune Priest per company, according to the novel Grey Hunter

太空野狼的传说故事在他们的节日和庆祝战团成立的狼之时刻节日期间被吟唱。这个节日每十二个伟大之年举行一次，每次都会举行传说故事讲述和灵能决斗的大型比赛，以确定是否会选出一位新的至高符文牧师。至高符文牧师是整个战团符文牧师的领袖，也是头狼的顾问。根据小说《灰猎》，太空野狼每连派出一名符文牧师

Abilities and Equipment 能力和装备

The basic weapons of Rune Priests are their psychically charged runic weapons. A common power among Rune Priests is the ability to summon storms across the battlefield which can cover the armies advance. Furthermore, they can cast runes which predict the ebb and flow of future events. These runes are usually carved from the bones or teeth of totem animals.

符文牧师的基本武器是他们充满灵能力量的符文武器。符文祭司的一个共同能力是在战场上召唤风暴，以掩护军队前进。此外，他们可以铸造符文来预测未来事件的起伏。这些符文通常是用动物的骨头或牙齿雕刻而成的图腾。

Many Rune Priests are psyber-linked to ravens which are known as "Choosers of the Slain" to the Space Wolves. Their link enables them to see through the ravens' eyes and control them, thus allowing their use as scouts and messengers.

许多符文牧师都与乌鸦有联系，乌鸦在太空野狼中被称为“择杀者”。它们的联系使他们能够看穿乌鸦的眼睛并控制它们，从而使它们能够被用作侦察兵和信使。

The 13th Company 第十三连

Within the lost 13th Company of the Space Wolves, the Rune Priests must guide their brothers through the perils of the Eye of Terror. They have learned how to open small, temporary Warp gates. These allow the Priests to step through them in order to divine the path ahead. The 13th Company has a disproportionately higher number of Rune Priests, as constant exposure to the Warp inside the Eye has endowed many of their battle brothers with psychic ability.

在失落的太空野狼第13连中，符文牧师必须引导他们的兄弟度过恐惧之眼的危险。他们已经学会了如何打开小型临时亚空间门扉。这些允许牧师们穿过它们，以占卜前方的道路。第13连的符文牧师数量不成比例地多，因为持续接触恐惧之眼内的亚空间赋予了他们的许多战斗兄弟通灵能力。
