Anyone know how to translate "Raven heart" into Elvish? I have seen some Forgotten Realms references to "Arael" meaning "heart" but have seen nothing on the word "raven." Given that the Raven Queen was retconned to be an elf, I would think that the Elvish equivalent for her title would exist somewhere.
I'm not sure if D&D has fleshed out actual languages like Klingon or the languages from Tolkein's works. I know there are some 'english to elvish' translators out there but I think they're based more on lord of the rings stuff than D&D, to the best of my knowledge anyway. But they may still serve your purpose since it's not like there's a 'real' elvish language to get wrong.
If you google Elf language translator you can find several that work just fine. Given that Silvan was originally from Tolkien's Elves a Tolkien translator should work to be the equivalent.
Thanks both. Yes, I have seen the LoTR-based translators. Unfortunately, sindarin and quenya bare only a limited resemblance to Elvish words used in D&D lore. Was hoping someone had seen something... somewhere.
Hollow unbreakable arrows are the most OP common magic item, and my current method of coming up with insane combat shenanigans.
if you make a steel pipe with one end closed and a nozzle on the other, you can enlarge it, fill with any liquid, and then drop concentration, creating a high pressure squirt gun. (or a pipe bomb, depending if it holds)
Elven Dictionary <-- I once found this when I was looking for a D&D Elven dictionary myself when I was looking for a last name for one of my elves.
Hope it helps =)
I use this source for a lot of elvish terms in my campaigns/writing. So following some of the examples, I would personally use this Gyrlamor (literally bird dark). It is as valid as any other guess.

just substitute latin
"Corvus" is the latin word for raven

No elvish dictionary for that unfortunately, you can come up with one with your DM or use one of the numerous elvish translator program found online.
If you have Twitter, you can also tweet Ed Greenwood at @TheEdVerse , he might know or make it up for you!
I use this one, and it is decent but not 100% complete
