Lore:
Before Nocturne, people believed that dreams were figments of their imaginations,meaningless images that flashed through the mind when one slept.
在"夜曲"出現之前，人們總是認為夢境只是虛構的想像，以及一些在臨睡前閃過腦海的圖像罷了
This belief was put to the test when a rash of sleep-related incidents started afflicting summoners of the League.
然而這個信念在召喚者聯盟大量出現某些和睡眠有關的事件以後被受考驗
Some would wake up screaming, terrified and beyond consolation.
有些人在夜裡驚叫著醒來，受到的驚嚇無法平復
Some could not fall asleep, slowly going mad as the nights ticked by. Some simply never woke up.
也有些人無法入睡，再度過一個又一個無比清醒的夜晚後漸漸瘋狂。而另一些人，則再也沒有醒來過。
Physicians were baffled until a Field Architect happened to pass out next to a nexus on The Twisted Treeline.
醫師們對此束手無策，直到一名Field Architect(某種職業的樣子...)碰巧在扭曲樹林的一個連結點死亡
Witnesses said he cried out once and then stopped breathing.
目擊者說他大叫了一聲之後便停止了呼吸
Immediately after, magical energy arced out from the nexus, and Nocturne appeared.
緊接著，魔法能量如漣漪般外放，夜曲出現了。
Nocturne did not take his introduction to this world kindly.
然而夜曲現身後並沒有親切的將自己介紹給這世界認識
He slaughtered everything he could find before summoners were able to magically confine him.
在招換師們試圖用法術限制他的能力前 他屠殺他所找到的一切
After a period of intense study, League experts divined that Nocturne hunted summoners in their sleep, attacking them in a place where their magic was useless.
在經過一段激烈的研究後，聯盟的專家們發現夜曲經由夢境狩獵招換師們，將他們帶到一個法術無法做用的地方並且制服他們
This seemed to be his only purpose. The families of the victims demanded justice,
而這似乎也是他唯一的目的。受害者的家屬們要求正義的審判
but League officials were concerned that death might only return Nocturne to the place from which he came.
但聯盟的官員卻擔心將夜曲殺死只會將他從這裡送回他原本的世界
They bound him to a nexus fragment, trapping him in the physical world.
他們最終將他困在一個交界點中，永遠將他束縛在這個物質界裡
As punishment for his crimes, they allowed summoners to call upon Nocturne in League matches, bending his will to the summoners he hates and creating his own personal nightmare.
做為夜曲的懲罰，聯盟官員同意讓招喚者在聯賽中招喚夜曲，使他的意識必須服從自己所憎恨的招換者們，並讓他編織出屬於他自己的噩夢。
League scholars don’t know whether he truly came from the plane of dreams, or whether there are any more like him.
聯盟的學者無法真正確定夜曲是否來自夢境的平原，也無法確定是否有更多這樣的生物
Some theorize that the summoning act affected summoners’ the subconscious minds, luring Nocturne to them in their sleep.
有些理論則說招喚英雄這項能力影響了招喚者的潛意識，吸引夜曲來到他們的睡夢中
Perhaps the most disturbing theory is that Nocturne is a person’s nightmare come to life. If this is true, they wonder, who is the dreamer?
或許最令人不安的猜測莫過於夜曲是某人成真的噩夢。如果真是如此，他們不禁想問，那夜曲又是誰的噩夢?
