Each major faction will have a saying or motto, something equivalent to the Marine Corps "Semper Fidelus" (Always Faithful) or perhaps something even a bit longer. I'd even like a sentence or two that members use when they're inducted, maybe.
Rather than come up with something ourselves, this might be another good way for you guys to contribute. So, basically: what would you suggest as the motto for The Watch?
"Eyes Forward Always" "Defend to Advance"
"We defend the freedom"
FYI "Semper Fidelis" means "Always faithful" in Latin.
"Shields in the Darkness"
"Lighting the Way to Freedom"
"Never Surrender"
Oroborous FYI "Semper Fidelis" means "Always faithful" in Latin.
Ergh. I knew that. :oops:
"Strength to Survive"
"The Guiding Light."
Preserve Sanctuary
First and Last line of defense
"We, the Worms in Old Night's Womb"
Ah, perhaps not. That doesn't sound very heroic does it?
"Marshals of the MiddleDarks" (Where are we here again, upper, middle or lower?)
"A Rampart against the Twilight Undertides"
"A Guiding Fire in Night's Dark Eye"
"Bright Blossoms in the Deep"
Scarrow "We, the Worms in Old Night's Womb"
We need to recycle that for something else, though.
"Marshals of the MiddleDarks" (Where are we here again, upper, middle or lower?)
Sanctuary is located seven vertical miles beneath the surface, making it the lower middle-dark. You can, of course, travel deeper...
... if you're feeling lucky.
"Always watchful"
Seeing your latin pretext, I will continue the notion...
"Aboleo Ceteri Iuxta Vulnero"
"Destroy those remaining before they cause harm."
"We are the watchmen, the mighty mighty watchmen..."
:lol:
Seriously though, howabout:
"Swords bared against the coming darkness."
or something like,
"Vigilance to see the coming foe. Valor to face him. Tenacity to defeat him."
Seriously though, you intend to translate it to LATIN? That's not even a language in Faerun!
No, no. No latin. My example was terrible actually, I think it gave people the wrong idea.
Was following suit....
Something less defined then....
Something simple....
"Hindsight."...........One word. Easy to remember. Easy for members to quote. Embraces or encompasses in one term, those who keep watch, those who will not forget, those who will keep heads held high, those who dare not make the same mistake twice. Those who are devout. It is understood rather than explained.
Stand tall in battle, defending those behind you who cannot.
For Honor and Freedom.
Defending what we have, taking back what was lost.
The Watch:
Advancing to the rear for 150 years!
Getting our pay and staying out of the way!
-Cross
Steel is our Sanctuary
"In the darkest hour, we still stand. In the darkest hour our light will burn and guide those who are lost. This is our sanctuary, our blink of hope and not even the darkest power can take it away from us! For the Sanctuary!"
"May our blades carve a brighter future, to plowshares we march"
"Show your enemie's mercy unto them"
"Sentries of the ever dark, watch over our vulernable people for as long as they might dwell below the light."
"Fend the darkness from those that wish inhabitance within our Sanctuary, now and always."
"Guardians of a sanctuary shrouded under dark."
"Guard well this freedom."
"For Sanctuary!"
"For Peace!"
"Protectors of Freedom"
"For glory, for honor, for Sanctuary!" "Protect the weak, the downtrodden, the sick. Protect all of Sanctuary." "Our eyes are ever Watchful." "Watch over this Sanctuary of peace." "Keep thy enemy Blind to the glorious Sanctuary."
"Obey the law."
"Look, listen, think, report!"
"We watch, so you don't have to."
"Because no one is above the law."
"No one attacks us with impunity."
"The Innocent Have Nothing To Fear."
"Never Alone."
"Don't give crime a chance" "To serve and protect"
