Founding 建國緣起

 For five thousand years, the Golden Egg laid dormant. And then it cracked, illuminating the whole world with blinding light. And from this light, Golden Cheese Cookie was born to free the small Cheesebirds from Cheedas the Mole's tyranny. Not only freedom but endless riches and peace wrought the Cookie. And the Cheesebirds bowed their heads and proclaimed her Queen for as endless was their gratitude before the great Cookie hero.

五千年來,黃金蛋都處於休眠狀態。接著蛋突然裂了,讓全世界金光普照,萬物睜不開眼。接著黃金起司餅乾從金光中誕生,命中注定要終結鼴鼠奇達斯的暴政,解放弱小的起司火鳥們。黃金起司餅乾不僅帶來自由,還有無盡的財富跟和平。起司火鳥們對這位偉大的英雄餅乾有無限的感激,於是低下了頭,宣誓效忠這位女王。

Geography & Environment 地理環境

 Nested deep within the Creamcake ridge lies Mount Cheddar Valley, one of the hottest and dryest places in Crispia. In this cheese dust-ridden valley, you might stumble upon many holed cheese rocks, and that's where the catch is. These rocks only seem like formations of porous emmentalite while, in fact, it is pure chedderite with holes made by Cheesebirds.

在鮮奶油山脊的深處有著切達谷,那裡是酥脆洲最炎熱乾燥的地方之一。在起司粉漫天的山谷中,你可能會絆到許多多孔的起司岩,有趣的地方就在這裡。這些石頭看起來就像是多孔的艾曼塔岩,但實際上完全是切達岩,上面的洞是起司火鳥啄出來的。

※註:艾曼塔跟切達都是起司種類。艾曼塔的外觀看起來就像動畫裡會被老鼠咬走的起司,切達則是實心一整塊。

Denizens 居民

 For many a century, nimble and crafty denizens of the Valley, the Cheesebirds, have been engaged in one sole craft: pecking rock in search of Golden Beetles. While they're not overly pleased with Golden Cheese Cookie's reign, they seem to enjoy all the golden shine the self-proclaimed ruler has brought to their land. Tread carefully in the Golden Cheese Kingdom—the birds are easily mistaken for round cheese rocks!

數世紀以來,靈活又聰明的山谷居民──起司火鳥──都只專注於啄岩石尋找黃金甲蟲。雖然他們對黃金起司餅乾的治理不是全然滿意,但似乎很喜歡這位自立為王的統治者帶回他們土地上的黃金。走在黃金起司王國時可得小心,因為這些鳥居民很容易會被誤認成圓形的起司岩!

Food 食物

 While the Cheesebirds stick to their traditional beetle diet, it's widely known that Golden Cheese Cookie savors scrumptious delicacies from all four corners of the world generously sprinkled with cheese powder, sided with cheese slices or with a dollop of melted cheese.

起司火鳥仍維持吃甲蟲的習慣,但眾所皆知,黃金起司餅乾喜歡吃來自世界各地的美味佳餚,一定要灑滿起司粉、配上起司片或是融化的起司醬。

Craft 特產

 Deep down the surface, in the underground caverns of the Golden Cheese Kingdom, a unique geological formation, the so-called Pillars of Cheese, can be found. Not only are the Pillars the natural habitat of Golden Cheese Beetles, the main food source for the Cheesebirds, this place is also rich with valuable Syrup Ore. In the past, Golden Cheese Cookie decreed to construct a system of railways, presenting it as a gesture of generosity (while, in fact, meaning the opposite). Still, without proper maintenance, many sectors of these railways soon collapsed or rusted beyond the point of restoration. To get around the Pillars, Cheesebirds use little carriages that can squeeze up to six of them.

在黃金起司王國地底深處的地下山洞,有著獨特的地質景觀,稱之為起司柱地形。這些起司柱不僅是起司火鳥的主食──黃金起司甲蟲──的天然棲息地,更蘊藏大量高價值的糖漿原礦。過去,黃金起司餅乾曾下令要建造鐵路系統,做為表達慷慨的贈禮(雖然實際上她打著相反的主意)。然而,由於缺乏適當的維護,鐵路系統很多區段都很快就崩毀,或是生鏽到修不好的地步。現在為了在起司柱地形通行,起司火鳥們會搭乘小小的礦車,一台可以擠下六隻起司火鳥。

Architecture 建築

 The Golden Cheese Kingdom's architecture is distinguished by its rich tradition of relief carving. One traveling through these lands is to witness the awe-inspiring view of great columns of cheesestone covered in intricate designs. The most prominent motif is, by all means, the glorification of the noble Golden Cheese Cookie's heroic achievements. And the Cheesebirds who value privacy greatly, find the soft stone of these colossal monuments well-suited for pecking their deep, secluded nests, creating yet another sophisticated pattern.

黃金起司王國的建築風格以其有豐富歷史的浮雕聞名。造訪當地時能看到令人讚嘆的雄偉起司岩柱,上面刻著精細的圖案。最歷久不衰的主題當然是將高貴的黃金起司餅乾的英雄事蹟神化。非常重視隱私的起司火鳥發現這些巨大紀念碑的軟岩很適合啄穿,打造又深又隱密的小窩,因此形成了更複雜的圖案。
