麦德三世:魔兽中关于金色眼睛的设定 到底是能成大事?还是德鲁伊天赋?还是命运之子?
首先,其实关于这个瞳色的设定只有两个而不是三个。
能成大事和“德鲁伊天赋”是同一个设定的两个部分。
金色眼睛代表了这个人强大的德鲁伊天赋,但是暗夜精灵当时了解的没那么细,只知道有这个眼睛的人后来都出人头地了。所以才传说“有金色眼睛的人都能成大事”。
而他们之所以出头地,实际上多半都是因为他们的德鲁伊天赋。所以暗夜精灵就开始传说有这个眼睛的人日后肯定能成大事。但是因为暗夜精灵基本上都只关注奥术,所以并不认为德鲁伊术在其中担当了什么作用。
关于这一点当初官方百科里说得很清楚。
银色的眼睛,金色的眼睛
在天崩地裂之前,金色眼睛在暗夜精灵中极端稀有的,由此而通常被视为未来能成大事的象征。艾萨拉女王与伊利丹都拥有这种异常的眼睛。不幸的是,这种体质的真相直到两人都堕入黑暗以后,才真正为人们所了解。
事实上,金色眼睛正象征着强大的德鲁伊天赋。无疑,天崩地裂之前的暗夜精灵,出于他们对奥术的痴迷,并没有正确理解这种异常眼睛背后的意义。
然而,拥有天赋并不总意味着持有者能察觉甚至理解自己的天赋,以正确地心态和技术去使用者更是少之又少。尽管伊利丹和玛法里奥一样都曾师从塞纳留斯,但他没能很好地学习德鲁伊之道。
天生的德鲁伊之力并不一定会让你变成德鲁伊,而缺乏这种天赋的人也不见得便与德鲁伊之道无缘。实际上,玛法里奥出生时的眼睛是银色的,但他全身心的投入给了他远超其它德鲁伊的强大力量和技巧。随着他持续使用德鲁伊法术,他的眼睛慢慢获得了一层金色的光晕,那正是其它的暗夜精灵所梦寐以求的金色眼睛。
此后,金色的眼睛很快就变得更为普及了。天崩地裂之后,暗夜精灵抛弃了他们腐朽的血统和门第观念,因此金色眼睛的暗夜精灵出生率便由此显着增加。
此外,随着暗夜精灵对艾泽拉斯的尊重日趋提高,一定数量的暗夜精灵男性也开始追随起玛法里奥的脚步;这些新生的德鲁伊最终也获得了金色的眼睛。
在传统上,暗夜精灵女性是人民的战士、猎人和保卫者。而施法这块上,则通常被视为男性的领域。第三次大战所造成的惨重损失让这种不成文的性别规定成为了过去。但因为德鲁伊最近才开始接收女性,金色眼睛在暗夜精灵男性中的比重仍比女性要大。
至于“金色眼睛是命运之子”则是军团才改的设定。在这个新设定里,几乎认为有金色眼睛的人只有伊利丹和艾萨拉两个人。
(所以我们未来遇到艾萨拉的时候几乎可以肯定她会再来一段命运之子剧情,前提是现在的编剧到了那时候还在做啦,以及现在的设定到了那时候还在啦)
备注:关于银色眼睛与金色眼睛,官方百科的英文解释:
Silver Eyes, Golden Eyes
Before the Sundering, golden eyes were extremely rare among the night elves. Golden eyes thus came to be regarded as a sign of future greatness. Both Queen Azshara and Illidan had these unusual eyes. Unfortunately the falsehood of this widespread belief was only to become clear after these two infamous individuals had reached their dark fates.
In truth, golden eyes were a sign of strong druidic potential. Little wonder that pre-Sundering night elves, with their emphasis on the arcane, did not understand the significance of these unusual eyes. Simply having this potential did not guarantee that the potential would be sensed or understood, much less wielded with skill and compassion. Despite his golden eyes, Illidan struggled with the druidic arts, though he, like Malfurion, was tutored by Cenarius.
Innate druidic power does not necessarily lead to becoming a druid, and lacking that innate power does not preclude becoming a druid. Indeed, Malfurion was born with eyes that glowed silver, but he studied druidism, and his wholehearted dedication gave him a power and skill far beyond most druids. As he continued to use druidic magic, his eyes acquired the golden incandescence that had once been so coveted by other night elves.
Golden eyes quickly became far more common. After the Sundering, night elves abandoned their former obsession with bloodlines, and so the number of night elves born with golden eyes increased significantly. In addition, the night elves resolved to be more respectful of Azeroth, and a number of night elf men followed in Malfurion s footsteps; these new druids eventually also had golden eyes.
Traditionally night elf women served their people as warriors, hunters, and protectors. Many spellcasting vocations, on the other hand, were generally considered the realm of night elf men. Only since the devastating casualties of the Third War have these conventional gender roles been set aside. Because druids only recently opened their ranks to women, golden eyes remain somewhat more prevalent among night elf men than their female counterparts.
