Elwynn prevails!, sometimes translated to Elwynn endures!, is the national motto of Elwynn. Its Elw form is Еӆуенууеқ наазамнизор! (Elluenuueq naazamnizor!; pronounced /əɬuənuːəχ naːzaɴizoʁ/). The literal translation is "Elwynn is without an end" with connotations of suffering, honour and endurance.
The motto started off as a rallying cry during the first Froyalan era (1533–1542) when Elwynn had forceably changed its name to Froyalan, and there was a great Froyalanization of the country with crack-downs on Elw, Babkhi and Tapferite–Bovic culture in Elwynn. It reached mainstream when the county government of Eliria and Utasia purchased its first coast-guard ship from Ynnraile in 1535 and named it Elwynn Endures after the rallying cry.
During the second Froyalan era, the motto was set aside for the dual Froyalan mottos May the lion not hurt you during Love's Great Adventure! (a bastardized pun of the motto of the Ayreon-Kalirions) and Deeds of Tuuler Kalir and Björka Hnossdóttir through their descendants!.
