诺维尔·亚威俄尼公国Principality of Nouvelle Averoigne
The d’Ambreville family, some of their friends, and their retainers came through a magical gateway to Mystara long ago, fleeing their previous home world to escape persecution of wizards. They settled in Glantri, as the land of the Flaems offered them an attitude far more conducive to wizardry than the land they'd left. However, the clan has never told outsiders details of their mysterious home.
达·安博维尔家族,他们的一些朋友,还有他们的家臣在很久以前从一个魔法门来到了密斯塔拉,为了躲避对法师的迫害而逃离了原来的家园。他们在格兰特里定居下来,因为弗雷姆人的领地中对待魔法的态度比他们离开的地方要更好。然而,这个家族从未向外人透露过他们那神秘家园的细节。

Etienne d'Ambreville, a powerful wizard, played a major role in early Glantrian politics and aided in the negotiations that established the principalities. He also initiated the creation of the Great School of Magic and became the first to truly delve into the study of the Radiance. Well over 100 years ago, however, Etienne, all of the family, servants, and the Chateau d'Ambreville itself (the previous siege of the house) disappeared. The d’Ambrevilles reappeared more than 80 years later with a new siege, the tower of Sylaire. They immediately resumed control of Nouvelle Averoigne. Etienne eventually disappeared during the war with Alphatia. Richard and Isidore vied with Etienne’s and Richard's now deceased brother, Henri, for control of the house; Isidore eventually disintegrated Henri in a magical duel.
艾迪安·达·安博维尔是一位强大的法师,在早期的格兰特里政治中扮演了重要的角色,并促成了建立诸公国的谈判。他还创办了至高魔法学院,并成为第一个真正深入研究辐射的人。然而,在一百多年前,艾迪安、他所有的家人和仆人连带着达·安博维尔城堡(该家族曾经的大本营)一起消失了。80多年后,达·安博维尔带着新的大本营——苏莱尔之塔再次出现。他们立即恢复了对诺维尔·亚威俄尼的掌控权。艾迪安最终在与阿尔费舍的战争中消失了。理查德和伊西多尔曾与艾迪安和理查德共同的兄弟、现已亡故的亨利争夺家族的控制权;伊西多尔最终在一场魔法决斗中将亨利解离。
Camille (CN hf W15), the senile matron of the family, often miscasts her spells (80% chance), producing unpredictable results. Her sister, Marie- Helene (CN hEF15), secretly plots to overthrow the family and put her son, Guillaume (CG hm W10) in charge. He and his wife Janette (CN hf W(I)9) once served as "cultural censors," charged with ridding the realm of clerics. Their son Michel (NG hm B5), a popular entertainer, lives in Vyonnes. Marie-Helene's other son, Gaston (NG hm W9), is an artist and a dreamer.
卡米尔(CN hf W15)是这个家族的老祖母,她经常在施法时失误(80%的几率),并造成不可预知的结果。她的姐妹,玛丽-海琳(CN hEF 15)密谋推翻自己的家族,并让自己的儿子吉拉姆(CG hm W10)掌权。他和妻子珍妮特(CN hf W(I)9)曾是“文化审查者”,负责清除神职人员所在的地区。他们的儿子米歇尔(NG hm B5)是一名广受欢迎的艺人,住在维耶恩斯。玛丽-海琳的另一个儿子加斯顿(NG hm W9)则是一位艺术家和梦想家。
Etienne's wife, Catherine (N hf W13), once acted as Glantri’s ambassador to Thyatis, but recently returned. Her son Jean-Louis (CC hm M2) and his wife, Tatiana (CG ef F6/C6), now treasonously plot to form an underground clerical society. Catherine's second son, Claude, is a vampire who used to live in Boldavia; now he spies on his family for his master, Morphail.
艾迪安的妻子凯瑟琳(N hf W13)曾担任格兰特里驻泰亚提斯大使,但已于近期回国。她的儿子让-路易斯 (CC hm M2)和他的妻子塔蒂亚娜(CG ef F6/C6),现正一起密谋建立一个地下牧师社团。凯瑟琳的第二个儿子,克劳德,是一个曾经住在博尔达维亚的吸血鬼;现在他正在为他的主人墨菲尔监视着他的家族。
Charles (CN hm W9) and Isabelle (CN hf W12) live in Glantri City and handle the princess's paperwork and minor duties. As a priest, Simon (NG hm C20) had long been exiled from the realm but now has a license to practice his magic in Glantri. Magdalene (CC hf Ml) one of the family’s werewolves—is engaged to Isidore's brother, Andre-David (CG hm F(R)12). Isidore’s daughter, Monique (NG hf W5), studies at the Great School. The ruler's son, Georges (NE hm 0), flunked out of the school and has no skills, friends, or redeeming qualities.
查尔斯(CN hm W9)和伊莎贝尔(CN hf W12)住在格兰特里城,负责为女亲王处理文书和杂务。作为一名祭司,西蒙(NG hm C20)被长期逐出本国度,但他现在获得了在格兰特里练习魔法的许可。玛格达莱妮(CC hf Ml)是这个家族里的狼人之一,她已与伊西多尔的哥哥安德烈-大卫(CG hm F(R)12)订婚。伊西多尔的女儿莫妮克(NG hf W5)在至高学院就读。而这位统治者的儿子乔治斯(NE hm 0)则已经被学校开除,没有技能,没有朋友,甚至没有任何可取之处。
Sire Gilles Grenier (N hm W9), Vicomte de Fausseflammes and long-time ally of House Sylaire, even disappeared with them a hundred years ago. Dame Genevieve de Scphora (N hf W18), Comtesse de Touraine, originally owned Tower Sylaire (in their mysterious world of origin), but offered it to Etienne after Chateau d’Ambreville’s destruction, in exchange for passage to Mystara.
吉勒斯·格雷尼尔阁下(N hm W9)身为福瑟勒姆子爵和苏莱尔家族的长期盟友,早在一百年前就和他们一起消失了。图雷因女伯爵吉纳维芙·德·丝芙兰夫人 (N hf W18)原来(在他们那神秘的起源世界中)是苏莱尔之塔的拥有者,但在达·安博维尔城堡被摧毁后,她把它卖给了艾迪安,以换取通往密斯塔拉的通道。
Nouvelle Averoigne is a large, well-populated principality. The people there seem generally educated and see themselves as quite cultured. Entertainment in the form of plays, musical shows, and fairs of all kinds take place all the time. Like their noble family, however, the locals often prove self-serving, arrogant, and somewhat aloof toward outsiders. Citizens of Nouvelle Averoigne appear even more magically inclined than the Glantrian standard (but not more than the Flaems); while large numbers of them attend the Great School, many have local tutors. A “wizard's convent” called L'derrith (named for the great wizard who started the place) serves as a home for aged spellcasters, catering particularly to the needs of the senile but still magically adept. This home opens its doors to any wizard of Glantri and has a wonderful reputation as a safe, relaxing place—free from the stressful competition and strife of the Glantrian wizard’s life.
诺维尔·亚威俄尼是一个人口众多的大公国。那里的人似乎都受过良好的教育,觉得自己很有教养。以戏剧、音乐表演和各种博览会的形式进行的娱乐活动全天候地举办着。然而,就像他们的贵族一样,当地人往往自私自利,傲慢自大,对外人冷眼相待。诺维尔·亚威俄尼市民们的魔法倾向似乎比格兰特里的标准水平要更高(但不超过弗雷姆人);虽然他们中的很多人都在至高学院就读,但也有很多人都在当地就读。一个名为L'derrith的“法师修道会”(以建立这个地方的伟大法师的名字命名)为年老的施法者提供了一个家,专门为那些仍然精熟魔法的高龄法师提供服务。这所房子向格兰特里的法师敞开大门,并因安全和休闲而闻名——这里可以远离格兰特里法师生活中那些充满压力的竞争和冲突。
All of Glantri knows Nouvelle Averoigne for its food and wine. A wide variety of fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy products is available to local chefs. As good as the food is, the principality produces wine and sparkling beverages as its main industry. Vineyards crop up throughout the domain. Additionally, locals remain aedve in the fur trade; their fur coats, hats, and other garments fetch high prices, pardcularly in Glantri City.
诺维尔·亚威俄尼的食物和酒在格兰特里无人不知无人不晓。有许多不同种类的水果、蔬菜、肉类和乳制品可供当地厨师选择。尽管食物优质,该公国还是以生产葡萄酒和起泡饮料为主要产业。这里的葡萄园遍布全国。此外,当地人还热衷于毛皮贸易;他们的毛皮大衣、帽子和其他服装都炙手可热——尤其是在格兰特里城。
Vyonnes, the largest city in the area, boasts a fine entertainment district with theaters of all sorts. Many shops design and sell expensive clothing, particularly women's gowns. Perigon and Ximes are quaint farming communities.
维耶恩斯是该地区最大的城市,拥有一个坐落着各种剧院的娱乐区。这里的许多商店都会设计和销售昂贵的服装,尤其是女装。周角和赛姆斯则是古色古香的务农社区。
Relations with the other houses of Glantri have always felt strained, mostly because of Etienne's behavior and attitudes. He hated the members of House Crownguard for using one of the d'Ambreville gateways to Mystara. Etienne knew of House Igorov's vampiric nature and occasionally threatened to expose Morphail. Prince Henri's scandalous affair with Carmina of Belcadiz created a rift between the d'AmbrevilleS and those elves. Henri did ally with Dolores Hillsbury, however, and when Isidore eliminated him, she earned Dolores's enmity—and that of all her allies. Dolores has not yet convinced her lover, Prince Jaggar, to share her contempt for the d’Ambrevilles—he has always cherished a fondness for the family and their amusingly odd ways (such as disappearing for 80 years— with their castle!).
该国与格兰特里其他家族的关系总是处于紧张之中,这主要是因为艾迪安的行为和态度。他恨皇冠守卫家族的人使用了通向密斯塔拉的达·安博维尔通道。艾迪安知道埃格洛夫家族的吸血鬼本质,有时还威胁要揭发墨菲尔。亨利亲王与比尔卡迪兹的卡米娜的丑闻在达·安博维尔和那些精灵之间造成了裂痕。然而,亨利的确是德洛丽丝·希尔斯伯里的盟友,当伊西多尔将他消灭时,她受到了德洛丽丝以及她所有盟友的憎恨。德洛丽丝还没有说服她的情人贾加尔亲王和她一样蔑视达·安博维尔家族——他一直钟爱达·安博维尔家族及其古怪有趣的方式(比如消失了80年——连同他们的城堡一起!)
Now that Richard and Isidore rule, Nouvelle Averoigne probably will recede from the spotlight, Isidore's position as Chamberlain allowing her principality to quietly gain power.
在处于理查德和伊西多尔的统治下之后,诺维尔·亚威俄尼可能会从聚光灯之下离开,伊西多尔作为国土大臣的地位足以让她的公国在不知不觉中积聚力量。
