"When there is no other way, the perilous path is the only road to salvation"
“当别无选择时，危险的道路是通往救赎的唯一道路”
Eldrad Ulthran was the chief Farseer of the Ulthwé Craftworld. He is perhaps the most gifted psyker amongst the Eldar, his incredible foresight having saved many thousands of Eldar lives. He created and carried into battle the Staff of Ulthamar, and his resilience and power has been a rallying point for the declining Eldar race.
埃尔德拉德·乌索然是乌斯维方舟世界的首席先知。他可能是灵族中最有天赋的；灵能者，他令人难以置信的远见拯救了数千名灵族的生命。他创造了乌萨玛之杖并将其投入战斗，他的韧性和力量一直是衰落的灵族种族的集结点。

Biography 传记
Eldrad was over 10,000 years old, and was the first to warn the Imperium of Horus' treachery. On the Maiden World of Tarsus, Eldrad attempted to warn Fulgrim of Horus' betrayal to no avail, only later discovering that Fulgrim had already been corrupted by Slaanesh and was beyond reasoning. Eldrad then attempted to end the lives of the Primarch and his bodyguards but this would end disastrously for Ulthwé's warriors, resulting notably in the loss of Eldrad's trusted adviser, the ancient Wraithlord Khiraen Goldhelm and an Avatar of Khaine. The supposed perfidy of the Eldar would culminate in Fulgrim's widespread virus bombing of many maiden worlds.It was this fateful event that would cause Eldrad's massive distrust of the human race. Nonetheless, Eldrad again intervened in human affairs when he appeared before the Cabal agent John Grammaticus. Ulthran revealed to Grammaticus that he opposed the Cabal's aims and that their belief that Horus would usher in Chaos' ultimate demise was not set in stone. He believed that humanity were meant to be the firebreak against Chaos, and that without them the Eldar would fall and the galaxy shortly afterwards. He offered Grammaticus a way to leave the Cabal and a chance to stop being a traitor to his own race. Using the Fulgurite originally intended to kill the Emperor and then Vulkan, Grammaticus was instead convinced by Eldrad to use it to heal Vulkan's shattered psyche.
埃尔德拉德有一万多岁，是第一个警告荷鲁斯背叛帝国的人。在塔苏斯少女世界，埃尔德拉德试图警告福格瑞姆有关荷鲁斯的背叛，但无济于事，后来才发现福格瑞姆已经被色孽腐化了，无法思考。埃尔德拉德随后试图结束原体和他的护卫的生命，但这对乌斯维的战士来说将是灾难性的，尤其是导致埃尔德拉德值得信赖的顾问、古代幽冥领主希兰·金盔和凯恩化身的丧生。灵族所谓的背信弃义将在福格瑞姆对许多少女世界的广泛病毒轰炸中达到高潮。正是这一决定性事件导致了埃尔德拉德对人类的巨大不信任。尽管如此，当埃尔德拉德出现在密会特工约翰·格拉马迪库斯面前时，他再次介入了人类事务。乌索然向格拉马迪库斯透露，他反对密会的目标，他们认为荷鲁斯将迎来混沌的最终灭亡的信念并不是板上钉钉的。他相信，人类注定是对抗混沌的防火带，没有他们，灵族就会倒下，银河系也会很快灭亡。他为格拉马迪库斯提供了一种离开密会的方法，以及一个停止背叛自己种族的机会。格拉马迪库斯最初打算用雷击石杀死帝皇和沃坎，但埃尔德拉德说服格拉马迪库斯用它来治愈沃坎破碎的心灵。
Eldrad Ulthran 埃尔德拉德·乌索然
Eldrad next appeared psychically in the form of an old man to Vulkan, urging him to access the Webway on Nocturne and journey to Terra as his destiny demanded. He did the same to Barthusa Narek, recruiting him for a new mission. Eldrad became determined to eliminate the Cabal, believing their plans would eventually bring ruination to the galaxy and that humanity was the key to defeating Chaos. Together with Narek, Eldrad assassinated most Cabal members including Gahet, Slau Dha, and Damon Prytanis. After killing Prytanis, Damon allowed Narek to go on his way but took John Grammaticus.
埃尔德拉德接下来以一个老人的形态出现在沃坎之前，敦促他按照命运的要求，在夜曲星上进入网道，前往泰拉。他对巴图萨·纳瑞克也做了同样的事，招募他执行新的任务。埃尔德拉德决心消灭密会，相信他们的计划最终会给银河系带来毁灭，而人类是击败混沌的关键。埃尔德拉德与纳瑞克一起暗杀了包括盖赫特、斯劳·达和达蒙·普莱塔尼斯在内的大多数密会成员。在杀死普莱塔尼斯之后，允许纳瑞克继续前行，但带走了约翰·格拉马迪库斯。
During the War of the Beast, Eldrad led a ritual to transport Shadowseer Lhaerial Rey and her Harlequin Troupe into the Imperial Palace to deliver a message to the Emperor himself. Ultimately Lhaerial was captured, and as an olive branch displayed the tooth Vulkan had given Eldrad.
在野兽战争期间，埃尔德拉德主持了一个仪式，将暗影先知勒亚尔·雷伊和她的丑角剧团运送到皇宫，向帝皇本人传递信息。最终，勒亚尔·雷伊被捕，一根橄榄枝上露出了沃坎给埃尔德拉德的牙齿。
Recent History 目前历史
It was through Eldrad's foresight that the Eldar began a series of raids against the Orks, culminating in the emergence of Ghazghkull Thraka as perhaps the most powerful Ork Warlord in the galaxy, and diversion of his Waaagh! to the Hive World of Armageddon, rather than allow the Orks to move against the Craftworlds. Eldrad deliberately instigated the Second War for Armageddon, costing the Imperium millions of lives, to save 10,000 Eldar lives. Had it not been for his warning, the Iyanden Craftworld would have been completely unprepared for the attack of Hive Fleet Kraken. In addition, he prevented Craftworld Saim-Hann's infestation by the Hrud, allowed Farseer Auric Stormcloud to invoke the Pact of Anwyn to disrupt Daemon Prince Shaha Gaathon's plans, thwarted the mysterious works of the awakened C'tans and stopped the Days of Blood from coming to pass.
正是通过埃尔德拉德的先见之明，灵族开始了一系列对欧克的袭击，最终导致碎骨者萨拉卡成为银河系中最强大的欧克军阀，并转移了他的Waaagh！前往阿玛吉多顿巢都世界，而不是让欧克对抗方舟世界。埃尔德拉德故意煽动第二次阿玛吉多顿战争，使帝国损失了数百万人的生命，以拯救一万名灵族的生命。如果没有他的警告，伊扬登方舟世界对克拉肯虫巢舰队的攻击将完全没有准备。此外，他还阻止了方舟世界萨姆-罕受到赫鲁德的侵扰，允许先知奥里克·风云借助安温契约来扰乱恶魔王子沙哈·加松的计划，挫败了觉醒的星神的神秘行动，并阻止了鲜血之日的到来。
Eldrad's predictions were also instrumental in the closing of the warp rift above the Exodite World Haran, which was to be used by the Gods of Chaos to pour forth their innumerable servants into the materium and the Eldar Webway. For many months, massed Eldar forces from all over the galaxy, joined by the mighty Phoenix Lords and led by Eldrad, persecuted a great campaign against the forces of Chaos. Eventually they succeeded in closing the warp rift, but at the cost of many Eldar lives. This lead to the planet being known as Haranshemash, the world of blood and tears.
埃尔德拉德的预言也帮助了关闭蛮荒世界哈兰上方的亚空间裂隙，混沌诸神将利用这个裂隙将他们无数的仆人倾注到物质界和灵族网道中。几个月来，来自银河系各地的灵族大军，在强大的凤凰领主的加入和埃尔德拉德的领导下，发起了一场反抗混沌势力的伟大战役。最终，他们成功地闭合了亚空间裂隙，但代价是许多灵族的生命。这导致这个星球被称为哈兰舍玛什，一个充满鲜血和泪水的世界。
On Andante IV, Ezekyle Abaddon and the Sorcerer Zaraphiston engineered a meeting between himself and Eldrad by attacking a Webway gate leading to Ulthwé. His ultimate aim was not to attack the Craftworld itself, but to wipe out Ulthwé's Seer Council by eliminating their only means of escaping the planet. Many deaths came in the battle that lead to Eldrad and Abaddon's meeting in combat but the ancient seer along with the combined might of his retinue prevailed over the Despoiler and his Black Legion warriors in a titanic hand-to-hand battle, but before the killing blow could be dealt by the Staff of Ulthamar, Abaddon was whisked away from the battlefield by his patron gods. Eldrad had failed in his attempt to eliminate the great threat once and for all, and realized that his own end would soon be at hand.
在安丹特四号，以泽凯尔·阿巴顿和巫师扎拉菲斯顿通过攻击通往乌斯维的网道门门，策划了他和埃尔德拉德之间的会面。他的最终目的不是攻击方舟世界本身，而是通过消除他们逃离行星的唯一手段来消灭乌斯维的先知议会。在导致埃尔德拉德和阿巴顿在战斗中相遇的战斗中发生了许多死亡事件，但这位古代先知及其随从的联合力量在一场巨大的肉搏战中战胜了掠夺者和他的黑色军团战士，但在乌萨玛之杖能够给予致命打击之前，阿巴顿被他的守护诸神从战场上带走了。埃尔德拉德试图一劳永逸地消除这一巨大威胁，但失败了，他意识到自己的末日即将到来。
In the closing days of the 41st Millennium, Eldrad concocted a scheme to bring about the awakening of Ynnead through a mass psychic ritual. However, he was foiled by the Deathwatch in the Battle of Port Demesnus upon Coheria. Later during the Battle of Biel-Tan, Eldrad led the newly formed Ynnari to victory and helped create the Yncarne. However the cost in doing so was high. Three of Ulthwé's finest Farseers turned to crystal during the ritual that opened the portal through which the Ynnari made their escape. For this act, and for the wayward arrogance he displayed on Coheria, Eldrad was exiled from Ulthwé by its Seer Council.
在第41个千年的最后几天，埃尔德拉德策划了一个计划，通过大规模的灵能仪式唤醒因尼德。然而，他在科赫里亚的德米斯诺斯港之战中被死亡守望挫败。后来在比耶-坦之战中，埃尔德拉德带领新形成的因尼德取得了胜利，并帮助形成了因卡恩。然而，这样做的成本很高。在打开死神军逃亡之门的仪式中，乌斯维最优秀的三名先知变成了水晶。由于这一行为，以及他在科赫里亚上表现出的任性傲慢，埃尔德拉德被其先知议会驱逐出乌斯维。
Despite his exile, Eldrad continued to guide the Ynnari and formed his own group known as The Exiles. He later reappeared during the 13th Black Crusade, dispatching the Shadowseer Sylandri Veilwalker to aid the Imperial forces. He next appeared on Kalisus in the Cadian System as a member of the Ynnari to guide several Imperial survivors of the destruction of Cadia into the Webway.
尽管放逐在外，埃尔德拉德仍继续指导死神军，并成立了自己的组织，被称为流亡者。后来，他在第13次黑色远征期间再次出现，派遣暗影先知西兰德里·帷幕行者协助帝国军队。接下来，他以死神军成员的身份出现在卡迪亚星系的卡利苏斯，引导几名经历卡迪亚毁灭的帝国幸存者进入网道。
Eldrad Ulthran 埃尔德拉德·乌索然
Eldrad eventually returned to Ulthwé, leading his Ynnari in the defense of the Craftworld. In his reestablished role on Ulthwe's Seer Council he instructed Yvraine and her Ynnari in retrieving the Hand of Darkness for Roboute Guilliman. Sometime afterwards while exploring the Falls of Unshead Tears within the Webway, he encountered the Slaaneshi Daemon N'Kari, who attemped to trick him to claim his soul. However Eldrad is able to drink from the falls, gaining a vision of Ynnead's rise and the full awakening of the Necrons. The rune of Saim-Hann appears at the end of his vision, which leads Eldrad to believe the Craftworld holds special significance. To that end, he accompanies Yvraine and the Ynnari alongside a Saim-Hann warhost to Zaisuthra to potentially discover the last Cronesword, though they are ultimately unsuccessful.
埃尔德拉德最终回到了乌斯维，带领他的死神军保卫方舟世界。在他重新建立的乌斯维先知议会中，他指示伊芙蕾妮和她的死神军为罗伯特·基里曼取回黑暗之手。之后的某个时候，在探索网道内的无首之泪瀑布时，他遇到了色孽恶魔纳’卡里，他试图欺骗他来索取他的灵魂。然而，埃尔德拉德能够从瀑布中饮水，看到因尼德的崛起和死灵的完全苏醒。萨姆-罕的符文出现在他的视野的尽头，这让埃尔德拉德相信方舟世界具有特殊的意义。为此，他陪同伊芙蕾妮和死神军以及萨姆-罕的一位司战前往匝苏斯拉，以潜在地发现最后的老妪之剑，尽管他们最终没有成功。
Eldrad has since drifted from the Ynnarri cause, believing that Yvraine has become increasingly desperate and is too willing to sacrifice Eldar to pursue her goals.
自那以后，埃尔德拉德逐渐远离了死神军的事业，认为伊芙蕾妮变得越来越绝望，太愿意牺牲灵族来追求自己的目标。
Wargear 战备
Eldrad Ulthran is equipped with the Staff of Ulthamar. For protection, Eldrad wears the Armour of the Last Runes — a potent artifact and ward against harm. He is also equipped with a Witch Blade, Shuriken Pistol, Ghosthelm, and protective runes.
埃尔德拉德配备了乌萨玛之杖。为了保护自己，埃尔德拉德佩戴了最终符文盔甲 — 一件强大的神器，可以抵御伤害。他还装备了女巫之人、星镖手枪、幽灵头盔和保护符文。
Previous Editions 以前版本
It was previously established that Eldrad died aboard a Blackstone Fortress during the Thirteenth Black Crusade. However, as of 6th Edition, Eldrad is still alive. The 6th Edition Eldar codex makes no mention of the 13th Black Crusade introduced in the 3rd Edition Eye of Terror campaign and its eponymous codex in which he and Maugan Ra led the Black Guardians. Eldrad is now described as being in his last days, crystallising, but very much alive.
此前已经确定，埃尔德拉德在第十三次黑色远征期间死于黑石要塞。然而，截至第六版，埃尔德拉德仍然活着。第6版灵族圣典没有提到第3版恐惧之眼战役中引入的第13次黑色远征及其同名圣典，在该圣典中，他和莫甘·拉领导了黑色守护者。埃尔德拉德现在被描述为处于生命的最后几天，逐渐具体，但非常有活力。
Notes 注释
Eldrad may have belonged to the Line of Manan of Ulthwé, as it was Eldrad's line that saved Navigator House Belisarius in 101.M31, and formed the Pact of Anwyn with them.
埃尔德拉德可能属于乌斯维的马南之界，因为正是埃尔德拉德的界在101.M31拯救了导航者贝利撒留家族，并与他们签订了安温契约。
