I am nearing the end of creating my Skoan-Quah Spirit Totem Barbarian and been hunting around as well to see how much people have put into Shoanti sayings or terms that do not exist within the books and found myself to quite disappointed. So what I did was look through the names of the runes and found a small handful of words in Shoanti, and then decided to create some of my own sayings. So here we go:
"Vand loc graxt."-Shoanti "Unto you eternity."-Common
This has a double meaning, one of honor in the sense that he will watch and guide ones soul to eternity, the second meaning that death has come for you so watch out.
"Eiril, Droma, Vust."-Shoanti "Duty, Honor, Strength."-Common
This is the direct tranlation in common, but to him it means something more like: "Through duty and honor I gain strength." Or really any sort of reworking/rewording of that idea.
"Fa droma kul sosmo."-Shoanti "We honor the(those) forever dead."-Common
There is really no double meaning here even though I really like the idea of the Shoanti having sayings which are double edged.
One the last "little" things I want to do is translate some of the sayings from "The Sattering of Darkmoon Vale" into my version of Shoanti, but starting only with the ones that he would use. And feedback go!
