The Drukhari or Dark Eldar are kindred to the Asuryani and other Aeldari, an ancient and advanced race of elf-like humanoids. Their armies usually have the advantages of speed and technology, though they are often lacking in resilience and numbers. The Dark Eldar revel in piracy, enslavement and torture, and are sadistic in the extreme. Dark Eldar raiding parties make use of advanced anti-gravity skimmers to launch high speed raids on their enemy while still transporting a large number of their warriors. Due to their use of the galaxy-spanning inter-dimensional labyrinth known as the Webway, they are extremely mobile, striking from seemingly nowhere, with little or no warning, and vanishing with their captives before significant military reaction can be mobilised.
杜鲁卡里或黑暗灵族与阿苏里亚尼和其他艾尔达里有亲缘关系，这是一个古老而先进的类精灵类人种族。他们的军队通常具有速度和技术优势，尽管他们往往缺乏韧性和数量。黑暗灵族沉迷于海盗、奴役和酷刑，极端残忍。黑暗灵族突袭队利用先进的反重力悬浮艇对敌人发动高速突袭，同时仍运送大量战士。由于他们使用了被称为网道的横跨星系的跨维度迷宫，他们非常灵活，似乎可以在没有任何警告的情况下从任何地方发起攻击，在重大军事反应被动员之前，他们就带着俘虏消失了。
Rune of the Dark Eldar 黑暗灵族符文
The Dark Eldar are unique amongst the races in the sense that they do not occupy many planets, but rather one dark city called Commorragh. They are mainly pirates, though are sometimes used as mercenaries.
黑暗灵族在种族中是独一无二的，因为他们不占据许多行星，而是位于一个名为科摩罗的黑暗之城。他们主要是海盗，但有时也被用作雇佣兵。
Dark Eldar Warrior 黑暗灵族战士
Asdrubael Vect is the supreme overlord of the dark city of Commorragh and of the Dark Eldar as a whole. The term "Dark Eldar" also comes from him, being the first one to openly refer himself with "Eladrith Ynneas" in M32.
阿斯鲁拜尔·维克特是黑暗之城科摩罗和整个黑暗灵族的最高统治者。“黑暗灵族”一词也来自他，他是M32中第一个公开称自己为“艾拉德斯·伊涅阿斯”的人。
History 历史
Origins 起源
The origins of the Dark Eldar can be found in the Fall of the Eldar, the great cataclysm that nearly destroyed the entire Eldar race. It was an event so terrible that not only did it kill trillions of Eldar, but it breached the gap between real space and the Warp, and gave birth to Slaanesh, a Chaos God.
黑暗灵族的起源可以在灵族陨落中找到，这场大灾难几乎摧毁了整个灵族种族。这是一个如此可怕的事件，它不仅杀死了数万亿的灵族，而且打破了现实空间和亚空间之间的缺口，并诞生了混沌之神色孽。
To understand the reasons for the Fall, it is necessary to know something of the Eldar mind and soul.
要理解陨落的原因，有必要了解灵族的思想和灵魂。
An Eldar's mind is incredibly complex. Their senses are extremely sharp, able to perceive incredible levels of detail. Their emotions can be so strong that a human's are merely pale shadows by comparison. They are extremely intelligent; their thought processes are much faster than a human's. All of this means that an Eldar experiences the universe and all its sensations to a greatly heightened degree. Similarly, an Eldar's soul is much brighter in the Warp than those of "lesser" sentients. Eldar are able to affect the nether-realm much more than most other races. They are all latent psykers and have the ability to become very powerful with training. It is the strength of their souls that was one of the causes of their downfall. Before the Fall, the Eldar had an immense galaxy-spanning empire comprising millions of worlds, larger and more powerful than even the Imperium of Man at the height of its power. The Eldar lived in relative peace - barbarian races such as the Orks were kept at easily manageable numbers and never had the strength to threaten the might of the Eldar empire. The humans were not yet virulently xenophobic and did not have a large domain, and the Tyranid Hive Fleets were unknown. The C'tan and Necrons, ancient foes of the Eldar, were long ago defeated and still remained dormant.
灵族的思维极其复杂。他们的感官非常敏锐，能够感知到令人难以置信的细节。他们的情绪可能非常强烈，相比之下，人类的情绪只是苍白的影子。他们非常聪明；他们的思维过程比人类快得多。所有这些都意味着灵族对宇宙及其所有感觉的体验程度大大提高。同样，在亚空间中，灵族的灵魂比“较小”的有情种族的灵魂要明亮得多。灵族比大多数其他种族更能影响下域。他们都是潜在的灵能者，有能力通过训练变得非常强大。正是他们灵魂的力量是他们陨落的原因之一。在陨落之前，灵族拥有一个巨大的跨星系帝国，由数百万个世界组成，甚至比人类帝国在其力量巅峰时更大、更强。灵族生活在相对和平的环境中 — 像欧克这样的野蛮种族被控制在易于管理的数量，从未有过威胁灵族帝国力量的力量。人类还没有强烈的仇外心理，也没有一个大的领地，泰伦虫巢舰队也不为人所知。星神和死灵，灵族的宿敌，早已被击败，至今仍处于休眠状态。
Life on the Eldar Worlds was idyllic, with fantastically sophisticated machines to take care of all labour and manufacturing required, leaving the Eldar free to indulge in other, more aesthetic pursuits. With all menial work taken care of for them, the Eldar became indolent and decadent. They began to explore more and more the arts of pleasure, delving ever deeper into hedonism. This descent into decadence spanned millennia. Tradition and order disintegrated, as they limited the pursuit of pleasure. Sects called Pleasure Cults were formed, dedicated to achieving the highest levels of hedonistic sensation, and their ceremonies and practices became ever more wild, eventually devolving into violence and sacrifice of their own kind. Some Eldar hated what their race had become and left the homeworlds for the virgin Maiden Worlds or left on the newly-constructed Craftworlds, leaving the Pleasure Cults to their madness. During this time the Eldar had also discovered the Webway and soon mastered it to further their galaxy-spanning civilisation. Building realms and outposts within the Webway to act as ports for inter-galactic travel, the city of Commorragh was founded. Isolated within the Webway, Commorragh itself soon became a bastion for pleasure cults and increasingly depraved acts.
灵族世界的生活是田园诗般的，有极其复杂的机械来处理所需的所有劳动和制造业，让灵族可以自由地沉迷于其他更艺术的追求。由于所有枯燥的工作都得到了照顾，灵族变得懒散颓废。他们开始探索越来越多的欢愉艺术，越来越深入地研究享乐主义。这种衰落跨越了数千年。传统和秩序瓦解了，因为它们限制了对欢愉的追求。被称为“欢愉教派”的教派成立了，致力于达到最高水平的享乐主义感觉，他们的仪式和实践变得越来越狂野，最终演变成了他们自己的暴力和牺牲。一些灵族憎恨他们种族的现状，离开家园世界去了少女世界，或者离开了新建的方舟世界，让欢愉教派疯狂。在这段时间里，灵族还发现了网道，并很快掌握了它，以推进他们跨越银河系的文明。科摩罗城在网道内建立了王国和前哨，作为星际航行的港口，建立了。科摩罗被隔离在网道内，很快就成为了欢愉教派和日益堕落行为的堡垒。
Meanwhile, something terrible was stirring in the Warp. The millennia of Eldar hedonism had made a massive impact in the psychic realm of Chaos. Within the warp the decadent Eldar civilisation was giving shape to a Power of Chaos, which grew and grew over thousands of years, getting stronger and more defined until suddenly it sparked into an intelligence - a shatteringly huge and malign intelligence, with an immense and bottomless thirst for Eldar souls. This was the birth of Slaanesh. The process lasted for thousands of years, corresponding with mankind's Age of Strife, although when Slaanesh finally came into being, the results for the universe were apocalyptic and sudden. An almighty psychic shockwave scythed across the galaxy. The souls of almost every Eldar were stripped from them in an instant and devoured by the new-born Chaos god. There were few survivors. Most were driven mad, their minds trapped half in the real world and half in the swirling insanity of the Warp. A great Warp rift was created, encompassing the entire Eldar empire and creating the Eye of Terror.
与此同时，亚空间中似乎有什么可怕的东西在搅动。数千年的灵族享乐主义对混沌的灵能领域产生了巨大的影响。在亚空间中，颓废的灵族文明正在形成一种混沌的力量，这种力量在数千年的时间里不断增长，变得越来越强大和明确，直到突然间它激发出一种智慧 — 一种巨大而邪恶的智慧，对灵族的灵魂有着巨大而无底的渴望。这就是色孽的诞生。这一过程持续了数千年，与人类的纷争时代相对应，尽管当色孽最终形成时，宇宙的结果是世界末日和突然的。一股强大的灵能冲击波横扫银河系。几乎每个灵族的灵魂都在一瞬间被剥夺，并被新生的混沌之神吞噬。幸存者很少。大多数人都疯了，他们的思维一半被困在现实世界中，一半被困于亚空间的疯狂漩涡中。一个巨大的亚空间裂缝被创造出来，包围了整个灵族帝国，并创造了恐惧之眼。
The denizens of Commorragh, however, were tucked away safely in the Webway, protected from Slaanesh and its thirst. Though much of the Webway was in ruin, they had endured, and unlike their Craftworld counterparts, remained unrepentant. Though they discovered Slaanesh was still slowly claiming their souls, the denizens of Commorragh soon discovered that by absorbing the pain and torments of another's soul, they could rejuvenate themselves and cheat death. Assuming they could feed regularly, the Eldar of the Webway had become physically immune to the passage of time. Soon the Eldar of the Webway began raiding realspace in search of captives and slaves to rejuvenate themselves with. Moreover, despite the physical requirement for thirsting for souls, many Dark Eldar have discovered a thirst for absorbing the pain of others, a side-effect of Slaanesh picking at their souls. So it was that the Dark Eldar were born, a race of sadistic murderers who feed upon the anguish of others to prevent the death of their immortal souls. Into this city of horrors rose the ruthless Asdrubael Vect, who has purged his rivals and ruled Commorragh as its undisputed Overlord for millennia.
然而，科摩罗的居民被安全地藏在网道里，免受色孽和它的饥渴。尽管网道的大部分地区都处于废墟之中，但他们坚持了下来，与他们的方舟世界同行不同，他们仍然不悔改。尽管他们发现色孽仍在慢慢地夺走自己的灵魂，但科摩罗的居民很快发现，通过吸收他人灵魂的痛苦和折磨，他们可以恢复活力并欺骗死亡。假设它们可以定期进食，网道的灵族已经对时间的流逝产生了身体免疫力。不久，网道的灵族开始突袭现实空间，寻找俘虏和奴隶来恢复活力。此外，尽管渴望灵魂的生理需求，但许多黑暗灵族发现了吸收他人痛苦的渴望，这是色孽攻击他们灵魂的副作用。就这样，黑暗灵族诞生了，这是一个虐待狂杀人犯的种族，他们以他人的痛苦为食，以防止他们不朽的灵魂死亡。无情的阿斯鲁拜尔·维克特进入了这座恐怖之城，他清洗了他的对手，并统治了科摩罗作为其无可争议的霸主长达数千年。
Recent Dark Eldar activity 近期黑暗灵族行动
Ages of the Dark City 黑暗之城时代
Since the founding of Commorragh, Dark Eldar history has been divided into four primary periods: the Age of Dark Genesis, the Age of Pain, the Age of Plenty, and the Age of the Living Muse.
自科摩罗建立以来，黑暗灵族的历史分为四个主要时期：黑暗起源时代、痛苦时代、富裕时代和活缪斯时代。
Since the formation of the Great Rift (known to the Drukhari as the Dathedian), there have been tumutulous developments in Dark Eldar society. Massive Dysjunctions saw Commorragh beset by Daemons, the most notable of these was the Battle of Khaine's Gate. While this situation has largely stabilized, other developments such as the rise of the Ynnari order have further thrown Commorragh into turmoil. This culminated in the Dark Eldar Civil War, where Vect, now reborn as a living Dark Muse, attempted to purge the Dark City of the Ynnari's growing influence. Despite these setbacks, the Dark Eldar are conducting a level of raids unseen in their history and show no signs of stopping their campaign to sustain themselves with the torment of others.
自大裂隙形成以来（杜鲁卡里称之为达瑟迪安），黑暗灵族社会出现了混乱的发展。大规模的连接异常使科摩罗被恶魔包围，其中最引人注目的是凯恩之门之战。虽然这种情况在很大程度上已经稳定下来，但其他事态发展，如死神教团的兴起，进一步使科摩罗陷入动荡。这在黑暗灵族内战中达到了高潮，维克特现在重生为活黑暗缪斯，试图清除黑暗之城中死神军日益增长的影响力。尽管遭遇了这些挫折，黑暗灵族正在进行他们历史上前所未见的突袭，并且没有迹象表明他们会停止用对他人的折磨来维持自己的运动。
Biology 生理
Dark Eldar are similar in many ways to the rest of the Eldar race - tall, lithe, humanoids with tapered ears and sharp eyes. However, generations of physical conflict combined with living inside the Dark City has led to a number of distinct variations. The skin of a Dark Eldar is almost translucent, an effect of the lack of sunlight within Commorragh.Due to being bred over the many millennia for combat, the strength and reflexes of your average Drukhari warrior are actually superior to that of their Craftworld Eldar counterparts. Pict-captures of the Evolus Massacre had to be slowed to one-fourth speed in order to follow the movements of individual Kabalites as they slaughtered Imperial civilians. Stories of Dark Eldar dodging shots from lasguns and kicking frag grenades back into the enemy's ranks are common, and within the gladiatorial arenas a single Wych is more than a match for any ten human warriors. Dark Eldar senses are also sharper, allowing them to see their enemies perfectly well even during pitch darkness.
黑暗灵族在很多方面与灵族种族的其他人相似 — 高大、柔软、类人、锥形耳朵和锐利的眼睛。然而，几代人的身体冲突加上生活在黑暗之城中，导致了许多明显的变化。黑暗灵族的皮肤几乎是半透明的，这是科摩罗内部缺乏阳光的结果。由于经过数千年的战斗训练，普通杜鲁卡里战士的力量和反应能力实际上优于他们的方舟世界灵族对手。埃沃勒斯大屠杀的图片捕捉必须放慢到四分之一的速度，才能跟上阴谋团战士屠杀帝国平民的动作。黑暗灵族躲避激光枪射击并将破片手榴弹踢回敌人队伍的故事很常见，在角斗士竞技场中，一个巫灵比任何十个人类战士都要强大。黑暗灵族的感官也更敏锐，即使在漆黑中也能很好地看到敌人。
The Dark Eldar at war 战争中的黑暗灵族
However, Dark Eldar psykers are virtually unheard-of. Partly due to their focus on physical athleticism the innate psychic abilities common to the Eldar race have atrophied within the Dark Eldar, in large part due to millenia of selective breeding as Asdrubael Vect the Master of Commoragh ordered the execution of psychically-gifted individuals lest they inadvertently provide a foothold for Daemons. Furthermore, to use any psychic powers would draw the attention of Slaanesh, and is one of the few things expressly forbidden even by outsiders within Commorragh. Because of their lack of psychic presence the Drukhari are often able to evade the visions of their Farseer cousins and are one of the few forces that can thus approach a Craftworld without warning. It is possible through the guidance of other kinds of Aeldari for Drukhari outside of Commoragh, such as those who live among the Corsairs, to slowly recover lesser psychic abilities.
然而，黑暗灵族灵能者几乎闻所未闻。部分原因是他们专注于身体天赋，灵族种族常见的先天灵能能力在黑暗灵族已经萎缩，很大程度上是由于数千年的选择性繁殖，因为科摩罗之主阿斯鲁拜尔·维克特下令处决有灵能天赋的人，以免他们无意中为恶魔提供立足点。此外，使用任何灵能力量都会引起色孽的注意，这是科摩罗内部少数明确禁止的事情之一。由于他们缺乏灵能存在，杜鲁卡里经常能够避开他们的先知表亲的幻象，是少数能够毫无预警地接近方舟世界的部队之一。在科摩罗之外的杜鲁卡里，例如那些生活在海盗中的人，可以通过其他类型的艾尔达里的指导，慢慢恢复较低的灵能能力。
Technology 科技
Dark Eldar, like most Eldar kindreds, make use of advanced technology, including anti-gravity devices, darklight weapons, nanotechnology and psychic artefacts. However, this technology is manufactured instead of being psychically grown, and while Dark Eldar do make use of psychic devices, they do not use psychic powers themselves, for in order to use their gifts Psykers must channel the chaotic energies of the Warp. Such an act would attract the gaze of She Who Thirsts and invite disaster upon the entire race. As such, the use of the psychic pyrotechnics that are so familiar to their Craftworld kin is one of the few things forbidden in the dark spires of Commorragh.
与大多数灵族表亲一样，黑暗灵族也使用先进的技术，包括反重力装置、暗光武器、纳米技术和灵能造物。然而，这项技术是制造出来的，而不是灵能培养出来的，虽然黑暗灵族确实使用了灵能装置，但他们自己并不使用灵能力量，因为为了使用他们的天赋，灵能者必须引导亚空间的混乱能量。这样的行为会吸引饥渴女士的目光，并给整个种族带来灾难。因此，在科摩罗的黑暗尖塔中，使用他们的方舟世界表亲所熟悉的灵能技巧是少数被禁止的事情之一。
Culture 文化
Over time, Dark Eldar begin to suffer more and more from The Thirst. They develop an all-consuming and ever-increasing need to drink the souls of other beings. It is postulated that the cause of this is the Chaos God Slaanesh, the Great Enemy of the Eldar, who leeches the soul-essence of the Dark Eldar while they still live. Dark Eldar drink souls to stave off this leeching - perhaps by sating the thirst of Slaanesh, or perhaps by replenishing the essence of their own souls with that of the consumed one. Slaanesh will also consume the souls of Dark Eldar whole should they die. Dark Eldar are long-lived but not immortal; drinking souls has a rejuvenating effect that reverses ageing, thus Dark Eldar need not fear falling into the clutches of Slaanesh due to death from old age, if they have a constant supply of souls. The usual source of souls is the many captives taken during Dark Eldar raids. However the Dark Eldar do not see the misery they inflict as mere necessity to survive, they relish in their cruelty.
随着时间的推移，黑暗灵族开始越来越受饥渴的折磨。他们产生了一种消耗一切且不断增长的需求，即饮其他生物的灵魂。据推测，造成这种情况的原因是混沌之神色孽，灵族的大敌，他在黑暗灵族还活着的时候吸取了他们的灵魂精华。黑暗灵族饮魂来避免这种吸血 — 也许是通过满足色孽的饥渴，也许是通过用被消耗的灵魂来补充自己灵魂的本质。色孽也会吞噬黑暗灵族的灵魂，如果他们死了。黑暗灵族寿命很长，但不是不朽的；饮魂有一种恢复活力的效果，可以逆转衰老，因此，如果黑暗灵族有源源不断的灵魂供应，他们就不必担心因年老而死亡而落入色孽的魔爪。通常的灵魂来源是黑暗灵族突袭期间俘虏的许多人。然而，黑暗灵族并不认为他们造成的痛苦仅仅是生存的必需品，他们喜欢他们的残忍。
Wych observing various sacrificial slaves 巫灵观察各种祭祀奴隶
The occupants of Commoragh are sadistic murderers all, abjectly self-serving and incapable of compassion. Violent infighting is common, but full-blown anarchy is prevented by the ruthless hand of Vect. To survive in such a society one must exemplify a ruthless self-sufficiency and embrace an attitude of survival of the fittest. Compassion of any sort is seen as not only disgusting in Dark Eldar society, but also self-damaging as it will inevitably lead to ones enemy's taking advantage of it. This lack of comradery extends even to ones own kin, betrayal, treachery, and power grabs are all common in Dark Eldar society and are even encouraged by its rulers - Vect most of all - as a way to keep any potential opposition divided.
科摩罗的居住者都是虐待狂杀人犯，他们都是卑鄙的自私者，没有同情心。暴力内斗很常见，但维克特的无情之手阻止了全面的无政府状态。要在这样一个社会中生存，一个人必须表现出无情的自给自足，并采取适者生存的态度。任何形式的同情不仅在黑暗灵族社会中被视为令人厌恶的，而且会自我伤害，因为它不可避免地会导致敌人利用它。这种缺乏战友情谊的情况甚至延伸到自己的血亲，背叛、变节和夺权在黑暗灵族社会中都很常见，甚至被其统治者鼓励 — 最重要的是维克特 — 以此来分裂任何潜在的反对派。
Society 社会
Dark Eldar society is highly stratified. With a cruel and opulent nobility living in the highest spires of Commorragh, while the miserable and misbegotten underclasses dwell in near-savage conditions in its outermost districts and pocket dimensions. A myriad of other subcultures and factions dwell in the middle, all preying upon one another in a perpetual cycles of violence. Beneath them all are the throngs of slaves of the Dark City, who are little more than an omnipresent resource to be exploited and tormented.
黑暗灵族社会是高度分层的。残酷而奢华的贵族生活在科摩罗的至高尖塔上，而悲惨而不幸的下层阶级则生活在最偏远地区和口袋维度里近乎野蛮的条件下。无数其他亚文化和派系都生活在其中，都在暴力的永久循环中相互掠夺。他们下面都是黑暗之城的成群奴隶，他们只不过是一种无处不在的资源，可以被剥削和折磨。
Within Dark Eldar society, the most important sub-factions are those that wield the most martial strength. These include:
在黑暗精灵社会中，最重要的子派系是那些拥有最强军事力量的派系。这些包括：
Kabals - Essentially large autonomous armed syndicates, many of which are connected to the ruling nobility of High Commorragh. Kabals are led by powerful Archons and wield significant military forces. Essential to conducting realspace raids for more slaves, Kabals are the most powerful and numerous type of organization within Commorragh's complex web of power. The most powerful Kabal is Vect's own Kabal of the Black Heart, but other significant Kabals include the Flayed Skull, Poisoned Tongue, Obsidian Rose, Last Hatred, Dying Sun, Iron Thorn, Broken Sigil.
阴谋团 - 本质上是大型的自主武装集团，其中许多与高科摩罗的统治贵族有关。阴谋团由强大的执政官领导，拥有强大的军事力量。阴谋团是科摩罗复杂权力网络中最强大、数量最多的组织，对于进行现实空间突袭获取更多奴隶至关重要。最强大的阴谋团是维克特自己的黑心阴谋团，但其他重要的阴谋团包括有剥皮颅骨、毒舌、黑曜玫瑰、最终仇恨、垂死之日、铁棘、破碎之印。
Wych Cults - Predominately female orders of gladiatorial fighters who specialize in making killing a spectacle. Their life-and-death performances in Commorragh's arenas emit such a level of torment and suffering that the audience members are left well-fed. Led by Succubi, Wych Cults are often frequently called upon to lend their service to realspace raids and can amass significant power and influence despite most of its initiates having once been slaves. The most prominent Wych Cult is the Cult of Strife, but other significant Cults include the Cursed Blade, Red Grief, Seventh Woe, Blade Denied, Wrath Unbound, Thirteenth Night, and Pain Eternal.
巫灵教派 - 以女性为主的角斗士团体，专门从事杀戮表演。他们在科摩罗竞技场上的生死表演散发出如此程度的折磨和痛苦，以至于观众们吃得很饱。在魅魔的带领下，巫灵教派经常被要求为现实空间的突袭提供服务，尽管大多数信徒曾经是奴隶，但他们可以积累巨大的权力和影响力。最著名的巫灵教派是纷争教派，但其他重要的教派包括诅咒之刃、红色悲伤、七灾、否定之刃、无拘之怒、第十三夜和永恒痛苦。
Haemonculi Covens - Are led by biotechnological masters dubbed Haemonculi, who are perhaps the most feared and sinister denizens of the Dark City. These diabolical figures are essential to any Kabal, providing not supreme arts of torture just radical military technologies but also biological enhancements. Most importantly, Haemonculi provide regenerative arts to those in their employ should a Drukhari be grievously wounded. In exchange for their services, Covens usually demand a certain tithe of slaves taken by the Kabal. The most notorious Covens of Commorragh are the Prophets of Flesh, Dark Creed, Coven of Twelve, Black Descent, The Hex, The Everspiral, and The Ebon Sting.
血伶人巫会 - 由被称为血伶人的生物技术大师领导，他们可能是黑暗之城最可怕和最险恶的居民。这些恶魔般的人物对任何阴谋团来说都是必不可少的，他们不仅提供了至高的酷刑艺术，还提供了激进的军事技术，以及生物增强。最重要的是，如果杜鲁卡里重伤，血伶人为雇佣他们的人提供再生技艺。为了换取他们的服务，巫会通常要求阴谋团从奴隶中抽取一定的什一税。最著名的科摩罗巫会是血肉先知、黑暗信条、十二巫会、黑色血统、六头、永恒螺旋和黑檀之刺。
Mercenary orders that employ their services to any who can afford it. These include the elite Incubi Shrines, Lhamaean courtesans-poisoners, and terrifying extra-dimensional Mandrakes. Certain non-Drukhari species such as Sslyth are also known to act as mercenaries.
雇佣他们为任何负担得起的人提供服务的雇佣兵组织。其中包括精英的梦魇神殿、蕾蜜恩毒妓和可怕的超维度曼德拉。某些非杜鲁卡里物种，如蛇人，也被称为雇佣军。
Gangs drawn from the lower regions of Commorragh. These include Reavers, Hellions, and Scourges. While crude and savage, they nonetheless can wield significant power in the more dangerous and destitute regions of the Dark City.
来自科摩罗低区的帮派。这些包括掠夺者、地狱行者和天灾。虽然他们粗鲁野蛮，但他们仍然可以在黑暗之城更危险、更贫困的地区行使不可忽略的权力。
The Drukhari have a complex relationship with the rest of their Eldar kin. While sometimes targeting their Craftworld or Exodite cousins for raids, they are also known to cooperate with them if the situation demands. The Dark Eldar will also accompany Eldar Corsairs or Harlequins for realspace raids when united in purpose.
杜鲁卡里与他们的其他灵族表亲有着复杂的关系。虽然有时会针对他们的方舟世界或蛮荒表亲进行突袭，但众所周知，如果情况需要，他们也会与他们合作。当目标一致时，黑暗灵族还将陪伴灵族海盗或丑角进行现实空间突袭。
Military Forces 军事部队
Utilizing the Webway for realspace slave raids, the Dark Eldar way of war is defined by shock, speed, and sowing terror amongst the enemy. Utilizing swift Grav-vehicles such as Raiders, Ravagers, and Venoms backed by heavy airpower, the primary goal of any Drukhari attack is usually to simply scatter any opposition so slaves can be gathered to be taken back to Commorragh. As such, many of their weapons are designed to maim or incapacitate rather than kill. The Drukhari avoid extended campaigns or wars of attrition, unless the potential rewards in suffering are monumentally high.
利用网道进行现实空间的奴隶袭击，黑暗灵族的战争方式是通过冲击、速度和在敌人中散播恐怖来定义的。利用由重型空中力量支持的突袭者、掠夺者和毒液等快速反重力再聚，任何杜鲁卡里攻击的主要目标通常都是简单地驱散任何反抗者，这样奴隶就可以被聚集起来带回科摩罗。因此，他们的许多武器旨在致残或重伤，而不是杀人。杜鲁卡里避免长时间的战役或消耗战，除非痛苦的潜在回报非常高。
Despite the treacherous nature of Dark Eldar society, their military machine is a well-tuned machine and consist of coalitions of Kabals, Wych Cults, Haemonculi Covens, and other mercenaries all united in the potential for slaves and plunder. Only the most capable warriors are recruited for realspace raids, which makes them terrifying opponents. While acts of betrayal are common within Commorragh, on the battlefield Drukhari usually display uncharacteristic cooperation and discipline while conducting raids due to the value of slaves and torment.
尽管黑暗灵族社会具有危险的性质，但他们的军事机械是一台经过精心调整的机械，由阴谋团、巫灵教派、血伶人巫会和其他雇佣兵的联盟组成，他们都团结起来，争夺奴隶和掠夺的潜力。只有最有能力的战士才会被招募到现实空间突袭中，这使他们成为可怕的对手。虽然背叛行为在科摩罗很常见，但在战场上，由于奴隶和折磨的价值，杜鲁卡里在进行突袭时通常表现出不同寻常的合作和纪律。
Much like Commorragh itself, Dark Eldar armies are anything but uniform and usually tailored to the specific needs of any raid. This exemplifies the Drukhari saying of K’lthrael Aht’Ynris Khlave, or "tailoring the toxin of the blade".
就像科摩罗本身一样，黑暗灵族军队绝不是统一，通常是根据任何突袭的具体需求量身定制的。这体现了杜鲁卡里对 克尔特雷尔 阿特伊恩里斯 克莱夫 的说法，即“定制刀刃的毒素”。

Development History 发展历史
The origins of the Dark Eldar as a concept first appeared in Games Workshop limited edition 1987 "Dark Elf Space Trooper", which slightly predated the release of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Brutal Eldar Pirates and Corsairs are mentioned throughout the 1st Edition, but it took until 1998's 3rd Edition Codex for the Dark Eldar to receive their first fully fleshed out lore and army. They originally did not have much lore or models, leading to a "revamped" 3rd Edition Codex in 2002.
黑暗灵族作为一个概念的起源最早出现在1987年的GW限量版“黑暗灵族太空部队”中，该版本比《战锤40000：行商浪人》的发布稍早。第一版中提到了野蛮的灵族海盗和海贼，但直到1998年的第三版的《黑暗灵族圣典》，他们才获得了第一个完整的传说和军队。他们最初没有太多的传说或模型，导致2002年“修订”了第三版圣典。
