Translation Notes

Important! Please read this and my Translation Disclaimer before reading the novel.
I’m also doing retranslations of Chapters 10-31 right now. Some are already finished, but most are not yet done.

Character Names

I don’t have the slightest idea on how to properly transliterate names, so I mainly do it in a very straightforward way. Some examples:

长安 becomes Chang An.
索莱木 becomes Suo Laimu. (A more readable way to write it would be Solemu.)
卡佐 becomes Ka Zuo.

Tribe Names

Azure Dragon (青龙) – Before, I transliterated this as “Qinglong” tribe, but I realized later that doing so strips off the majesty of the “Azure Dragon.”

The Azure Dragon is said to be a legendary creature that is part of the Four Symbols, also known as the Four Spirits of heaven. It represents spring and the east.
Jushan (巨山) – literally means Big Mountain or Great Mountain tribe. It’s the only tribe, so far, that I’m writing in pinyin instead of using English
Black Eagle (黑鹰) – Before, I translated this as Black Hawk, since 鹰 could mean either hawk, eagle, or falcon; generally, any predatory bird.

Other Notes

The Song Sung by the Elder in Chapter 1

The first translator didn’t translate this, so I translated it instead, for the song seems very important in the story. Read the translation.

Weaponry in Bestial Blade

I’ve made a guide to the different blade weapons and weapons terminology mentioned in the novel, and you can read it here.
