## **简介**

在伊马斯卡帝国于 -4366 DR（公元前3736年，上埃及的涅伽达一期阿姆拉特文化，以及下埃及的马阿迪文化时期）利用传送门从埃及和两河地区掳掠了大量奴隶（因为传送门是跨时间与空间，所以抓的是不同时代不同地方的人），并以位面屏障阻碍两地神系进入后。
奴隶们此起彼伏的哀怨祈祷声涌入了艾欧的耳畔，此时碰巧卜塔的信徒在不久前开始出现在国度天宇，不胜其烦的神上神召来了这位古神，返回了他的故乡世界，并集合起那个天宇的两支神系（埃及神系、巴比伦神系/苏美尔神系）。
在艾欧的邀请下，两个神系的部分神明牺牲巨大的神性力量，分出了旷古烁今的强大化身显现体，分乘两艘神造魔法船进入太空。卜塔带着诸神的显现体，以神器光之道标作为指引，历经1877年后，终于-2489 DR（公元前1859，埃及第十二王朝时期，塞索斯特里斯三世SenusretIII在位期间）到达托瑞尔星球，并摧毁了该帝国。

　　与 透特Thoth 作为知识与科学之神相对，而 卜塔Ptah 通常被视为艺术家与制图师之神。虽然这两个神明有许多共同点（举例来说，他们都不与其祂任何神灵有亲属关系），但彼此还有重要区别。当某位建筑师计划要建造一座金字塔时，需要依靠透特提供关于金字塔的数学知识，并召唤卜塔提供灵感，使之成为一位艺术品。

Where Thoth is the god of knowledge and science, Ptah is often viewed as the god of artists and designers. While the two gods have much in common (neither of them is related to any of the other gods, for instance), there are important differences. An architect planning a pyramid depends on Thoth for the mathematics to build it and calls upon Ptah for the inspiration that will make it a work of art.

　　在其真实形态中，卜塔呈现为一位黑色皮肤、剃着光头的男人。在他的眼中，是创造的火焰，是所有艺术家创作的灵感来源。就像透特的祭司宣称他创造了宇宙一样，卜塔的祭司也提出了对创生之水的宣称。

In his true form, Ptah appears as a shaven-headed man with jet black skin. In his eyes is the fire of creativity that is the inspiration of all artists. Just as Thoth's priests claim that he created the universe, so, too, do Plah's priests exert their claim to the founding waters.

#### **角色扮演指南Role-playing Notes：**

　　卜塔是一位聪明、富有活力的神明，对艺术与美怀着极大的热爱。他对那些生产高质量作品的工匠报以微笑，有时（5%）概率会派遣化身来确保这些人得到应有的认可。

Ptah is a clever and dynamic god with a great love of art and beauty. He smiles upon craftsmen who produce works of great quality and will sometimes (5%) send his avatar to assure that such persons receive the recognition they deserve.

　　牧师和专属祭司们往往会因恐惧失去施法能力而担心进入 荒宇wildspace。其实对这点无需再有疑问。当然，当牧师或是祭司进入太空时，他们神明的神力的确会发生一些改变，但多数时候，这些改变还没到让角色感到沮丧的地步。

Clerics and specialty priests tend to worry about heading into wildspace because they fear the loss of their spell casting abilities. There no longer need be any doubt. Granted, when a cleric or priest heads in space, some of the powers of their gods do change, but for the most part, the changes are not drastic enough to warrant any frustration from the character.

　　有些改变是积极的，但偶尔，神力可能会有所削弱、乃至消失——尤其是在祭司们进入 燃素海the phlogiston、与其神明失去一切接触的时候。在进入到晶壁系中时，某一角色是否会与他的神明完全而彻底的分离？接下来的章节将详述：魔法船牧师与专属祭司在荒宇中时，诸神与他们的关系、以及诸神本身。

Often these changes are positive, but occasionally, the powers can wane somewhat, or even disappear, especially when the priest heads out into the phlogiston and loses all touch with his god. Is there ever a complete and total separation between god and character while inside the crystal sphere? This next chapter describes the gods and their relationships with spelljamming clerics and specialty priests while in wildspace.

　　（道与路The Path and the Way）

　　灵界强大神力Greater Power of the Ethereal

　　这位神明最常被称作 宇宙的创造者creator of the universe。在几乎每个已知存在的天宇，他都广为人知并且受到崇拜。

This is the god most commonly called creator of the universe. He is known and worshiped on nearly every known sphere of existence.

　　这令他可以为他的神职人员和专属祭司分配给他们可以使用的最大魔法。在那些他不为人知缺乏信仰的行星上，他不能授予超过3级法术。当他的祭司进入 燃素海the phlogiston 时，他们能够使用自己储备的法术。在施法情况出现之前，地下城主应让施法者写下他将在燃素海使用的法术。

This allows him to allot his clerics and specialty priests with the maximum spells they can use. On planets where this is not the case, he cannot award spells over the 3rd level. When his priests enter the phlogiston, they are able to use the spells they have stored up. The DM should have the character write down the spells he would like to use while in the phlogiston before a spell casting situation arises. This gives the character the spells he asked for before leaving the sphere.

　　 传言说 卜塔Ptah 甚至早于 拉Ra，但据说为了更有活力、更积极的力量，而下了台。众所周知卜塔现在漫游于 灵界the Ethereal，甚至可以被凡人接近。绕着他转的时候要小心点——这位神力似乎为灵界为食，他能在字面意义上把巴佬送去各个位面的任何地方。一只自称遭受过这种搬迁的提夫林声称，卜塔甚至能未经另一位神明允许，就把某人丢进对方的神国。（不过话说回来，人们都知道提夫林是多么“值得信赖”。）

Chant is Ptah predates even Ra, but he supposedly stepped down for the more vital, active power. It's well known that Ptah wanders the Ethereal now, and that he's even approachable by mortals. But a body'd best tread carefully around him — the power seems to feed off the Ethereal, and he can send a berk literally anywhere in the planes. A tiefling who claims to have suffered from this relocation says that Ptah can even drop a body in another god's realm without that power's permission. (Then again, folks know how Irust-worthy tieflings are.)

[印记城黑话—chant，表示新闻，本地闲话，事实，情形或者其他任何有关当前局势的事情. ]

[印记城黑话—Berk，巴佬。一个笨蛋，尤指那些因为搞不清状况而把自己卷入大麻烦的家伙。]

[印记城黑话—Body，就是"someone"在位面间的说法.]

　　很明显，卜塔的名字在灵界和内层位面很受欢迎。不过由于他是灵感与创造力的源泉，艺术与美的爱好者也会呼唤卜塔。

Obviously, Ptah's a popular name to invoke among Ethereal and inner-planar travelers. But as he's the source of inspiration and creativity, lovers of art and beauty call upon Ptah as well.
