What is it in Latin?

It'd make a fine Nu-HotW motto beneath that coat of arms. happy

I'm more than happy to design a new Wendigan coat of arms complete with the above motto attached.

Indeed it would be an honour.

That looks like cod Latin to me. Hold off on the final design.

It's just a straight up, literal Google Translate result.

If you can come up with something better/more accurate/more funny then go for it. yes

No, I meant you should do it. I just think it looks suspiciously like Latin that conveniently conforms to the structure of English, which is obviously historically impossible. The actual Latin version is likely only three or four words long, one of which is probably some version of 'sphaerion'.

I did think it looked a bit verbose for a Latin motto.

A classic Latin motto is usually no more that three or four words long.

I would like to have Grimsargh's other cultural place, as apocalyptic traffic nightmare zone, also given official NHOTW recognition.
