The Mournival was the advisory council of four captains of the Luna Wolves Legion, the authority of its members second only to Horus himself within the Legion. Even so, it carried no official weight, was considered to be outside the command structure and was a position purely internal to the legion. At the end of the Great Crusade, it was composed of Ezekyle Abaddon, 'Little' Horus Aximand, Tarik Torgaddon and Garviel Loken.

四王议会是影月苍狼军团四名连长的顾问议会，其成员的权力在军团中仅次于荷鲁斯本人。即便如此，它也没有官方影响力，被认为不在指挥结构之内，纯粹是军团内部的职位。在大远征结束时，它由以泽凯尔·阿巴顿、“小”荷鲁斯·阿西曼德、塔里克·托加顿和加维尔·洛肯组成。

Origin and History 起源和历史

There is perhaps conflicting information given on the origin of the Mournival; Garviel Loken states that it has existed since the earliest era of the Legion - at least for 200 years, but is later told by Tarik Torgaddon that it was created as an offshoot of the informal warrior-lodge that existed within the legion. Captain Serghar Targost later claims that the warrior-lodge was created after the Luna Wolves' first visit to Davin. If this is correct then the Mournival could only have existed for approximately 60 years.

关于四王议会的起源，可能存在相互矛盾的信息；加维尔·洛肯表示，它从军团最早的时代就存在了，至少有200年的历史，但后来塔里克·托加顿告诉他，它是作为军团内部存在的非正式战士结社的分支而创建的。连长瑟加尔·塔戈斯特后来声称，战士结社是在影月苍狼首次造访戴文之后创建的。如果这是正确的，那么四王议会可能只存在了大约60年。

According to the iterator Memed, the word 'mournival' is an old Franc word for having 4 royal/court/face cards in your hand in a card game. This is often considered to be a winning hand.

根据迭代模因，单词'四张同点牌'是一个古老的法语单词，表示在纸牌游戏中手上有4张皇家/宫廷/脸牌。这通常被认为是获胜的一手。

Their duties were to advise Horus in all aspects of warfare and diplomacy, to provide political posturing when he required it, to watch over the moral shape of the Legion and to guide its philosophy.

他们的职责是在战争和外交的各个方面为荷鲁斯提供建议，在他需要时提供政治姿态，监督军团的道德形态，并指导其哲学。

Each member was marked out by the bearing of a variation of the moon symbol, branded on the helm above the right eyepiece. The last pre-Heresy Mournival possessed the following luna symbols:

每个成员都标记有月亮符号的变体，刻在头盔的右目镜上方。最后叛乱前四王议会拥有以下月亮符号：

• Abaddon - Full Moon

• 阿巴顿 - 满月

• Torgaddon - Gibbous Moon

• 托加顿 - 盈月

• Aximand - Half Moon

• 阿西曼德 - 半月

• Loken - New Moon

• 洛肯 - 新月

Shortly after the Ullanor Crusade, and Horus's elevation to Warmaster, Captain Hastur Sejanus commissioned the making of four silver rings, each representing one of these phases, for himself and the other three members of the Mournival. However, Sejanus's ring was accidentally destroyed, after the silversmith was killed by Captain Serghar Targost, and it is unknown if the other three were ever given to Abaddon, Torgaddon, and Aximand.

在乌兰诺远征和荷鲁斯升任战帅后不久，哈斯塔·塞扬努斯连长委托为自己和其他三位四王议会成员制作了四枚银戒指，每枚戒指代表其中一个阶段。然而，在银匠被瑟加尔·塔戈斯特连长杀害后，塞扬努斯的戒指被意外毁坏，尚不清楚其他三枚戒指是否曾被交给阿巴顿、托加顿和阿西曼德。

As Horus was corrupted by agents of Chaos, the Mournival was divided - Abaddon and Aximand followed their beloved Primarch, while Loken and Torgaddon remained loyal to the Emperor. With the deaths of the loyalists at Isstvan III the brotherhood of the Mournival was interrupted for the first significant time in its history.

由于荷鲁斯被混沌的代理人腐化，四王议会分裂了 — 阿巴顿和阿西曼德追随他们深爱的原体，而洛肯和托加顿仍然忠于帝皇。随着伊斯塔万三号的忠诚派的死亡，四王议会的兄弟情谊在其历史上首次被中断。

Some time after the Battle of Isstvan III, Horus Aximand proposed reforming the Mournival once more, and two new Mournival brothers were recruited. After some discussion, and a proving in the field, he and Abaddon settled on inducting Falkus Kibre and Grael Noctua into their ranks. During the Siege of Terra the entire Mournival save Abaddon was wiped out during the debacle at the Saturnine Wall. After the disaster, the Mournival was unofficially abolished.

伊斯塔万三号之战后的一段时间，荷鲁斯·阿西曼德提议再次改革四王议会，并招募了两名新的四王议会兄弟。经过一番讨论和现场证明，他和阿巴顿决定让法库斯·凯博和格雷尔·诺克图阿加入他们的行列。在泰拉围城期间，除了阿巴顿之外的整个四王议会在土星之墙的溃败中被消灭了。灾难发生后，四王议会被非正式废除。

Additional Information 附加信息

• Those elected to the Mournival are said to be considered the greatest Captains by their peers, and to ideally each possess markedly different but complimentary personalities. In this regard they can be considered in the light of the Four Humours, particularly as this language and phrasing is used in the novels. From characterisation and description given in the texts, it can be seen that Torgaddon represents the sanguine, Abaddon the choleric, Aximand the melancholic and Loken the phlegmatic.

• 那些被选为四王议会的人据说被同辈视为最伟大的连长，理想情况下，每个人都有明显不同但互补的个性。在这方面，它们可以从四体液的角度来考虑，特别是当这种语言和措辞在小说中使用时。从文本中给出的特征和描述可以看出，托加顿代表多血质，阿巴顿代表胆汁质，阿西曼代表抑郁质，洛肯代表粘液质。

• Loken's predecessor, the 'perfect Captain' Hastur Sejanus is described as being tempered evenly in all respects. According to the theory of humourism, perfectly balanced humours create the ideal personality.

• 洛肯的前任，“完美连长”哈斯塔·塞扬努斯被描述为在各个方面都脾气温和。根据体液理论，完美平衡的体液创造了理想的人格。

• It may also be of interest to note that, in ancient Egyptian mythology, the sky-god Horus has four sons of different nature who are said to collectively make up his soul.

• 值得注意的是，在古埃及神话中，天空神荷鲁斯有四个不同天性的儿子，据说他们共同组成了他的灵魂。
