Trag'Oul

[[Image:World-mid.png|thumb|这个图片是暴雪暗黑3官网中出现的,这个背负着庇护之地世界的双翼可能就代表着塔格奥.]]
==塔格奥==
'''Trag'Oul''' 是一条背负着整个庇护所世界的守护巨龙--他被称为监护者塔格奥,据说在庇护之地被建立的同时他就存在了,只是其造物主Inarius并未察觉,亦或是其他所有类似庇护所的位面都会有一个类似的监护者存在?我们无从得知.

塔格奥是庇护之地的第一代[[Necromancer|死灵法师]][[Rathma|拉斯玛]]所崇拜的老师.也是暗黑世界中唯一被提到的一条"龙".他被描述成一个星座,可以在人们无法看到明确的未来时,在人的不同人生阶段--过去,现在和未来给予不同的指引.他的特点在 [[Richard A. Knaak]]所著的暗黑小说[[The Sin War|原罪之战三部曲]]中和[[The Kingdom of Shadows|暗影王国]]小说中的角色死灵法师Zayl口中都有所谈及.

==原罪之战前夕== 
[[Rathma|拉斯玛]]是[[Trag'Oul|塔格奥]]的第一个学生,并且甚至是第一个探寻他存在的人. 在贯穿原罪之战前的数个世纪中, 据推测[[Rathma|拉斯玛]]一直在学习各种关于生命的[[Balance|平衡术]], 这是一种通常被称为通灵术的技能.

==Sin War==  
Trag'Oul came into existence when the world of Sanctuary was created. He is depicted as a constellation of stars in the form of a dragon and exists in a realm that only himself, [[Rathma]], [[Mendeln]], and [[Uldyssian]] have seen. He is very powerful and is the supposed guardian of Sanctuary, though, as pointed out by Mendeln, seems to sit in the shadows and is not a very ''active'' guardian.

During the Sin War, Trag'Oul selects Mendeln as his second student. During the battle outside Istani both Trag'Oul and Rathma lend their power to Mendeln so he would have the strength to sends hordes of morlu and the raised dead of both the [[Edyrem]] and [[Peace Warders]] to their final resting places.<ref>''Scales of the Serpent'', page 304. Richard A. Knaak, 2007.</ref>  When Trag'Oul and Rathma realize the High Heavens have discovered Sanctuary the dragon uses his enormous power to shield the world from the eyes of the angels. 

Inarius, in his fury, later sends Rathma to the void. Trag'oul fearing for Rathma's safety, teleports Mendeln straight into the void to find him. With Trag'Oul's instruction, Mendeln finds Rathma and they are both saved but the effort exhausts Trag'Oul and he can no longer shield Sanctuary from the eyes of the angels. 

After the final battle between the Edyrem and the Cathedral has ended, and Uldyssian has cleansed Sanctuary of both demons and angels the [[Angiris Council]] convenes and concludes that Sanctuary will be preserved but the Nephalem with the exception of the first-borns (Rathma, Bul-Kathos, etc.) will all have their memories wiped and the council will restore the world to the state it was in before any of the humans discovered their abilities that they might "start anew".  As the council agreed, they restored to the world how it had been years before, and all humans memories were wiped... excepting one. Trag'Oul spared Mendeln his memories so he could remember the sacrifice of his brother, Uldyssian, and so he might pass on his knowledge of the balance to any willing students.

We later discover Trag'Oul is furious at the fact that he has to hide his presence from the Angiris Council, even as the fate of his world is being decided.

==Guardians== 
It is made known in the Veiled Prophet that Trag'Oul is only one of ''many'' worldly guardians. Meaning not that there are multiple guardians to Sanctuary, but there are other worlds as well as other beings such as Trag'Oul that watch over their worlds. Each of these worlds is dictated by the balance and like Sanctuary they fear the [[Great Conflict]] coming to their worlds. 

<blockquote><i>Because the war is coming to Sanctuary, and if you interfere with what the Balance demands, it and </i>all<i> existence may be forfeit.</i><br> They left him, then, all the others who stood guard as he did over their separate worlds, left him with the knowledge that it was his Sanctuary whose imminent fate might decide theirs. <ref>''The Veiled Prophet'', page 168. Richard A. Knaak, 2007.</ref></blockquote>

==Trivia== 

* Trag'Oul has undergone many spelling revisions in Diablo lore, he was called ''Trang-Oul'' in [[Diablo II]] in the set, [[Trang-Oul's Avatar]] and revised as Trag'oul in the Sin War novels. Since the novels are canon as of [[Diablo III]], and as they were released after Diablo II, we can assume that the great dragon's name is indeed Trag'Oul. * Trag'Oul is the only ''dragon'' referenced in Diablo lore (though it is not known whether the guardians of other worlds are also dragons).
