  • 2 Arthur Eld

    сущ.; собст.; SK, DT
    Один из баронов, рыцарь, о котором в мире Роланда слагались легенды. Основоположник рода Эльдов, потомком которого по одной из боковых линий был сам Роланд. Артур Эльд силой объединил разрозненные миры под своим началом, предположительно, тем самым и образовав Альянс феодов. Легенды о нём аналогичны легендам о короле Артуре и рыцарях круглого стола в нашем мире. Например, Артур Эльд, как избранник пророчеств, извлёк свой единяющий меч, Экскалибур, из пирамиды.

    Above them, on the wall, was a picture of Arthur, the Great King of Eld astride his white stallion, and a sign which read (in a curious mixture of High and Low Speech): ARGYOU NOT ABOUT THE HAND YOU ARE DELT IN CARDS OR LIFE. — Над ними на стене висела картина, изображающая Артура, великого короля Эльда, верхом на белом жеребце. Подпись (странная смесь низкого наречия и Высокого Слога) гласила: В ИГРЕ КАРТАМИ ЖИЗНИ ОБХОДИСЬ ТЕМИ, ЧТО У ТЕБЯ НА РУКАХ. (ТБ 4)

    Steven Deschain of Gilead, a gunslinger (which was to say a knight, squire, peacemaker, and Baron… the last title having almost no meaning in the modern day, despite all John Farson’s ranting) of the twenty-ninth generation descended from Arthur of Eld, on the side line of descent (the long-descended gel of one of Arthur’s many gillies, in other words). — Стивен Дискейн из Гилеада, стрелок (иначе говоря, рыцарь, сквайр, миротворец и барон – последний титул не имел никакого веса в нынешнее время, пусть Джон Фарсон и утверждал обратное), потомок в двадцать восьмом колене Артура из Эльда, по боковой линии (другими словами, ведущий свой род от одной из многочисленных наложниц Артура). (ТБ 4)

    … the music had been fuller, the company of older and nobler lines which grew closer and closer together as they stretched back toward Arthur Eld, he of the white horse and unifying sword. — … музыка громче, а гуляли они под недремлющим оком короля Артура из Эльда, изображенного на белом коне с объединяющим мечом. (ТБ 4)

    In the hallway just off from the reception room, that had been, by the tapestry showing Arthur Eld carrying his sword out of the pyramid in which it had been entombed. — В коридорчике рядом с залом приемов, под гобеленом, на котором король Артур доставал из пирамиды захороненный в ней меч. (ТБ 4)

    Rich men, famous men, and well-blooded men had taken gilly-girls since the beginning of time; Arthur Eld had had better than forty himself, according to the tales. — Богачи, знаменитости, аристократы заводили наложниц с незапамятных времен. У самого Артура из Эльда их было не меньше сорока, если верить легендам. (ТБ 4)

    Another link in the chain stretching back into the dimness where Arthur Eld had led his gunslingers into battle with the great sword Excalibur raised above his head and the crown of All-World on his brow. — Еще одно звено в цепи, протянувшейся в далекое прошлое, где Артур из Эльда вел на битву своих стрелков, с великим Эскалибуром в руке и короной Всех Миров на челе. (ТБ 4)
