2e基Ki
基Ki
（強大神力，“獅子之友”）
神職：自然
陣營：絕對中立
信徒陣營：絕對中立
徽記：鳶尾草
居住位面／神國：極樂境／厄洛妮亞群峰／東方偉峰
知名代理人：杜蘭-基（代理人/女性人類/吟遊詩人15/中立善良）
自然之神 基Ki 也負責維持著 蘇美爾諸神力Sumerian powers 與其它一些地球神力（如 西凡納斯Silvanus、潘Pan、梅麗凱Mielikki）的關係。她以這種方式在這個神系中贏得了一些有價值的盟友。而隨著 恩基Enki 的消逝，基也慢慢開始談及對河流與水體的職責，但她的本性（打個比方說）使得更傾向於與動物的友誼。
基是這個神系最野性的神祇。她並不贊同凡人的文明——至少不是以犧牲自然為代價的文明——但她與她的夥伴們一道維持著和平。儘管如此，她仍然歡迎那些拒絕被建築和社會俘虜的人，將土壤與葡萄樹之道教給他們。
東方的崇山
有三位 蘇美爾諸神力Sumerian powers——恩利爾Enlil、基Ki、寧-胡爾薩格Nin-Hursag——居住在 東方的崇山The Great Mountain of the East，極樂境Elysium 最雄俊的峭壁，南納-辛Nanna-Sin 在他漫遊地感到疲倦時，也會在此休憩。在這座山峰周圍100英里內，陸地都是平坦的。緩慢的河流流經這一地區時將改道，使田野中的莊稼們能被充分潤濕。這片平原四處點綴著小城市，每座城市中心都有一座神廟，供奉著神系的所有神力。在那裡，蘇美爾人祭司們將最好的食物獻祭給這座崇山。
Three Sumerian powers - Enlil, Ki, and Nin-Hursag - live on the Great Mountain of the East, the mightiest crag on Elysium, and Nanna-Sin rests there as well when he tires of wandering. For a hundred miles around the Mountain, the land is flat. Sluggish rivers course through the area, diverted this way and that to make sure the crops in the fields stay watered. The plain's dotted with small cities, and in the center of each burg is a temple dedicated to all the powers of the pantheon. There, Sumerian priests sacrifice the finest foods the Mountain has to offer.
唯一被允許在崇山上行走的是祈並者們和那些帶著合理訴求朝見諸神力的人（當然，他們會被交給代理人們——諸神可不會與凡人交談）。但諸神對什麼是“合理的訴求”有最終解釋權，並且，如果有傻子請求不符合祂們那嚴格的要求，祂們一定會把這貨逼瘋——至少是瘋到對方離開崇山前。而他得自己想辦法找到離開的路。
The only folks allowed to walk on the Mountain itself are petitioners and chose who have a legitimate request of the powers (which, naturally, they give to proxies - the gods don't talk to mortals). But the gods have final say on what constimtes a "legitimaie request," and if a berk doesn't fit their stringent requirements, they're sure to drive him barmy - at least, until he leaves the Mountain. He'll have to find his own way down, too.
至於崇山的山頂嘛，好的，對任何意圖攀登者而言這將是一場勇氣的考驗。當祈並者準備好於他的神力融合時，他必須設法登上最高峰——這個任務比聽起來要難。即便是 多元宇宙multiverse 中最靈敏的攀登者在這座山上都會度過一段困厄的時光，而這些祈並者可並非什麼熟練的攀岩家。這項任務看重的是決心，只有決心足夠的挑戰者才能登上頂峰。
As for ascending the Mountain, well, it'll test the mettle of any basher who wants to try it. When a petitioner's ready to merge with his power, he's got to make his way lo the tallest peak - a task that's harder than it sounds. Even the sharpest climbers in the multiverse'd have a hard time on the Great Mountain, and petitioners ain't skilled climbers. It's determination that counts for them, and only a basher with enough of it can get to where he's going.
如果祈並者從高處跌落摔死了，他將會重生、投入他的老任務中。他會記得自己身上發生的事，而當他下次決定要與神力融合時，這些知識會讓他更有決心。另一方面，若是非祈並者墜落，這個蠢貨無疑會出現在死亡之書中。諸神不會為那些不能駕馭自己的生命的傢伙負責。
A petitioner who falls from the heights dies, but he's reborn the next clay into his old task. He remembers what's be fallen him, and the knowledge fills him with even greater determination the next time he decides he's ready for union with the powers. If a nonpetitioner falls, on the other hand, the berk's in the dead-book for sure. The gods don't take responsibility for those who can't manage their own lives.

-4366 DR
伊馬斯卡人Imaskari 奇械師打開了兩道通向另一個世界的傳送門，並用魔法綁架了成千上萬的當地居民做為自己的奴隸。奇械師們隨後建立了一道 位面障壁planar barrier 以阻斷奴隸和他們神祇之間的聯繫。隨這時間的流逝，奴隸們慢慢與 伊馬斯卡人Imaskar 人通婚，他們的後代變成了一個獨立種族，後來被稱為“穆蘭人Mulan”。

神王降臨Arrival of the God-Kings：通過派遣被稱為 顯現體manifestations 的強大化身，伊馬斯卡人Imaskari 的奴隸所信仰的眾神繞開了位面屏障。在遠古神祇 卜塔Ptah 的指引下，化身們穿越無盡虛空來到了 托瑞爾星球Toril。在到達 費倫大陸Faerûn 之後，他們進一步地將剩餘的神性本質分離，創造出較次級的凡人形態化身——轉生體incarnation。這些轉生體降臨到 伊馬斯卡帝國Imaskar 的肥沃平原上，來到長久被棄的人民中間。最有才能的人被他們選作牧師，而真正虔誠的信徒則被轉化為神仆。伊馬斯卡帝國Imaskar 奴隸開始反抗他們的主人。
The deities of the Imaskari slaves bypass the planar barrier by sending powerful avatars, known as manifestations, of themselves through the endless void of space to Toril, led by the ancient deity Ptah. Upon arriving on Faerûn, they further divided their remaining divine essences and created lesser, mortal forms of avatars, known as incarnations. These incarnations descended into the fertile plains of Imaskar and went among their long-forsaken peoples. The most talented they made priests, and the truly faithful were transformed into divine minions. The Imaskari slaves then revolt against their masters.
