I'd say Divinitas ex dominatione should do the trick.

"Multa vexilla sub uno vexillo."
"Many Flags under a single banner."

Do these line up?

Anyone translate "The Princess' Vision Is Our Vision"?

I'd go with Numen e Dominatu. Tirnydd's suggestion works, but I like mine better since it's how I would've said it.

I think so, though I'd personally shorten in to Vexilla multa sub uno.

That depends on what sense of the word "vision" do you mean? A prophecy? A dream for a kingdom? Her literal eyesight?

Her dream for a kingdom

Principissae somnium est nostrum, I think. I'll do more research later, though, as I'm not 100% sure somnium is the right word.

Wikipedia provides that the word for "blood" in Latin is aser or assyr, Gen. sanis. Are these forms found in any inscription or surviving literature?

Where does Wikipedia say this? The Latin word for blood is sanguis, genitive sanguinis, accusative occasionally sanguem.

Just for fun, what would "we all live in a yellow submarine" be?

Nos omnes in nave subaquanea flava habitamus. Though, that doesn't quite fit the music.

In the etymology section. Apparently, sanguis is a splice of sanis and unguinis.

Okay, going by what that says... I dunno. I've never heard of any of that before, but it looks plausible. I'd have to do more research before I could tell you the answer to your initial question.

Go ahead then, do more research

"Si vis pacem, para bellum."

If you can guess who I found it from I d be impressed. Just to note I don t know and haven t studied the Latin language. Interesting topic tho.

I know it as the Royal Navy motto. Unsurprisingly it has been used by a fair few military outfits.

Could anyone translate: "Ready for all, yielding to none!" please?

I'm not expert, but perhaps "Pro omnia parata, ut nemo cedere"?

Edit: pithier and possibly more accurate "cuivis parata, nullis cedere".

Actually, that's all basically wrong.

I'd go with:

Contra omnia parata*, nemini cedens.

*Note that I'm going with parata based around the idea that the motto refers to the Third Republic of Darvale, which would be a feminine noun, res publica tertia Darvale. If the motto is meant to be the people, populus rei publicae tertiae Darvalis, then it should read contra omnia paratus, nemini cedens.

I blush. Thanks for the correction.

Is the Latin part of my motto an accurate translation of "We were kings"?

Yep!
