剑歌者是一群追寻“剑之道”的Yokudan战士。
而剑之道是一种以掌握自己的剑为宗旨战斗哲学。
剑歌者们有着无比强大的剑术，亦拥有可以与其强大剑术相匹敌的魔法力量，这是因为他们同时追寻身体与心灵的强大。
尽管剑歌者的传统起源于Yokudan，但它在第一纪元时被Ra Gada带到了对岸的泰姆瑞尔
在到达泰姆瑞尔大陆后，剑歌者们迅速的在落锤省站稳了脚跟，并率领Yokudan人民建立起了新的家园。
在历史上最强大的剑歌者是Frandar Hunding。他的光辉事迹在许多世纪后仍然被红卫人们所传唱。

【对应原文】
Sword-singers were an order of Yokudan warriors who followed the "Way of the Sword", a martial philosophy on blade mastery.[1] Singers were capable of astonishing feats of swordsmanship, and were viewed by some to be as much mages as warriors. They sought strength of body, and of mind.[2] Although the tradition of sword-singing originated in Yokuda, it was brought to the shores of Tamriel by the Ra Gada in the First Era. The sword-singers were instrumental in claiming the entire province of Hammerfell and establishing a new homeland for the Yokudan people. The most accomplished sword-singer in history was Frandar Hunding, whose writings on the subject were revered by the Redguards centuries later.[1]

【背景资料〈1〉】
古代Yokudan人曾是工匠 诗人 法师和学者。
【这里的法师在原文是mystics，神秘学者，我不知如何翻译，故大胆翻译为法师】
但持续的内战不断困扰着整个国家
而这导致了许多人开始寻求以剑为道，获得属于自己的开悟，这些人也就是剑歌者的前身
这最终发展成了一种被称为“咏剑”的武道传统
他们使用以魔法打造的强大利剑
不仅仅在战乱中保住了他们的诗歌与传统技艺
更使这些传统中迎来了繁荣的发展
剑歌者们坚信，剑是最好的武器，优于一切任何形式的武器，并身体力行的贯彻落实这种思想，一心一意的只使用剑。
而任何其他的东西，只会在他们追求卓越的路上使他们对自己追寻的道路感到困惑

对应〈原文〉2
In ancient times, the Yokudan people were once artisans, poets, mystics, and scholars, but the constant civil wars that plagued the nation resulted in many searching for enlightenment through the Way of the Sword, also known as the "Song of the Blade". This eventually developed into a martial tradition known as sword-singing. Through the forging of beautiful swords tempered with magic, their artistry and poetry not only survived but flourished.[1][3] Sword-singers believed that the sword was superior to other types of weaponry, and were to devoted to using it exclusively. Anything else would only lead to confusion in their path to seek mastery.[4]

剑歌者为战神建造了许多神庙，也为自己建造了许多称为“战争美德之厅”的训练场。
在训练场里，剑歌者们训练战斗技巧和学习锻造剑的艺术。
他们崇拜许多战神 比如教授早期Yokudan人民如何将他们手中的小刀变换成剑的神onis。
【译者注-其实就是教授了他们更高级的锻造吧，这里有点类似鸟枪换炮的意思】
在剑歌者发展过程中
Diagna，古yokudan护佑之神的一个化身。
他教给了他们如何锻造兽人武器。
【译者注-这里的原文是orichalc weapon，一种矿石打造的武器，常用于兽人武器和护甲，故翻译为兽人武器】
而Leki，灵剑之圣。
则教会了他们一种在战斗中的瞬间使用假动作的功夫。
早期的剑歌者是从血统高贵的贵族家族里吸收成员的，而这些成员将于满11岁后加入剑歌者。
剑歌者的男性成员被称为“剑刃兄弟”
而女性成员被称为“圣剑少女”。
在数个世纪的不断探索和完善下，剑歌者们掌握了剑之道------它需要剑歌者们重走Frandar Hunding人生道路。
这条道路需要剑歌者以美德之名在野外击杀强大的怪物，在沿途救死扶伤。
想要走完这条路需要许多年，而不少剑歌者在这漫长的试炼里丢掉了性命。

〈对应原文3〉
The sword-singers built temples to the gods of war and training halls named the "Hall of the Virtues of War" in which they could practice their combat skills and the art of forging powerful swords.[1] They venerated warrior-gods such as Onsi, who showed early Yokudans how to pull their knives into swords,[4] Diagna, an avatar of the HoonDing who brought them orichalc weapons and Leki, the goddess of aberrant swordsmanship who introduced the singers to the "Ephemeral Feint" maneuver.[5] The sword-singers initially recruited from among the offspring of noble families.[1] New members were accepted into the order at age eleven. Males became known as "Brothers of the Blade" while females earned the title "Maidens of the Spirit Sword".[3] In later centuries, mastery of the Way was achieved upon completing the Walkabout—a wilderness trek emulating the life of Frandar Hunding, where singers would wander the countryside defeating monsters and aiding the citizenry in the name of virtue. The Walkabout could take years to complete and some singers didn't survive the trials.[6]

因为剑歌者们有有着严于律己，如同在沙漠中苦行的生活方式，所以他们从未拥有过众多成员。
尽管如此，剑歌者在Yokudan人中还是拥有极大的影响力。
在好几代的剑歌者之后，追寻剑之道成为了他们生命的唯一目标，而剑之道也深深的扎根在了Yokudan文化中。
而对于剑歌者，剑是他们灵魂的延展，是身体的一部分，他们简称，人与剑应当是一个整体，成为“剑客”。而不是人分人，剑分剑。
在各式各样的传说中，一名剑歌大师仅需要一把训练的简单木剑就可以击败敌人。
就这样，剑之道就潜移默化的融入到Yokudan人的生活，也融入了正在战斗着勇士的一招一式中。

〈对应原文4〉
Although the sword-singers were never a numerous people due to harsh and unforgiving desert lifestyle, they had a significant influence on Yokuda. Within a few generations, the Way of the Sword had become their life and was ingrained into Yokudan culture.[1][6]For the singers, the sword was seen as an extension of their soul and a symbol of honor.[3]They maintained that it was the swordsman, not the sword, that mattered.[7]Various legends and tales speak of masters requiring only a simple wooden training sword to defeat their adversaries.[8][9]Such was the influence of the Way of the Sword to Yokudan life, that everyday items bore depictions of swords or warriors assuming fighting stances.[10][11][12]
