Help with Latin please?
I am making a fun little vampire group and wanted to give it a cool sounding Latin motto. I came up with "Disciples of the Eternal Darkness" But am not sure on the grammar. Is it "Dicipulus Nox Aeterna" or "Dicipulus Noctem Aeternam"? If I understand correctly, Latin doesn't use articles so there won't be a "the" in the phrase. Is this correct? How would the phrase correctly translate? Thanks in advance.
Thank you, Zooey, for that detailed answer.

It is correct, there are no articles in Latin. The phrase 'of something' becomes a genitive in Latin.
So, it would be
Aeternae noctis discipulus - Disciple (singular) of the Eternal Night
Aeternae noctis discipuli - Disciples (plural) of the Eternal Night
if you want 'darkness', not 'night':
Aeternae caliginis discipuli, or:
Aeternarum tenebrarum discipuli.
Eternal can be also 'perennis': if you like that word better, change 'aeternae' into 'perennis' and 'aeternarum' into 'perennium'.
