Long shot, but was wondering if anyone would know how Raven Prince would be translated in the old tongue? Trying to come up with a tattoo idea and have the words Raven Prince in it using language and script from the books. Thanks in advance!!!

I had a quick look, though I have no foreknowledge about this and the closest I could find is Rie is King, according to https://www.angelfire.com/tx/jcs97b/otd.html

 

You would think that ravens would come up with Mat and all, but I cannot see it from a quick Google search which I am sure you have already done. Sorry.

Honestly, you'd have to play with it till it feels right.

Jordan has said the Old Tongue is a kitchen sing combo of Gaelic, Russian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and African languages..  Now, I don't know much Russian, Arabic or any African tongues.  But for the ones I do.  Raven Prince or, more likely, Prince of Ravens would be.. And I provided Welsh and since "Gaelic" languages covers a few things.

Welsh: Tywysog y Cigfrain

Irish: Prionsa na bhFiach
Galician: Príncipe dos Corvos
Spanish: Príncipe de los cuervos
Chinese: Wūyā wángzǐ
Japanese: Karasu no ōji

So hodge podge that together until it matches the known Old Tongue examples.  O:-)
