Forgotten Realms 3.0 Campaign setting cover

[Ezequielramone]

Sorry, but english is not my language.
Anyway, I'm about to run a Forgotten Realms campaing in Pathfinder and when I started to read the book I saw this strange circular logo on the cover. I'm wondering what is it.
Anyone can tell me please, what does it mean? Does it have elven and dwarf characters on it (?)?
Here it is the image I'm talking about.
Thanks for your time.

I believe it is a Wizard's Mark - perhaps the Simbul's.

Could also be the city mark for Silverymoon, though I'd find that to be a bit odd.

Or even some sort of symbol for Mystara.

It looks like a variation of the Waterdeep symbol (which looks like a variation of the Elminster symbol).

bumping for interest

I forget what the symbol is but I remember you can translate the elven writing that appears on it.

I daresay some half-way decent Google-fu will deliver you the translation.

My guess is that it's a modification of Angharradh, or the the triune symbol for her.

OK, there are two messages on the cover, one in Dethek (Dwarven) and the other in Espruar (Elven) which, according to Sean K Reynolds, read as follows:

Dethek: The secret fires of our hearts burn with the memory of wars lost and heroes slain, but like the stone from which we came, we endure.

Espruar: We remember cities* now in ruin and forests murdered, yet still we sing to the stars and hope for renewal.

I've tried searching Candlekeep for an answer to the mystery of the symbol but it seems that it is currently offline again.

Thanks so much. I didn't take the time to translate these sentences.
I think it look like Angharradh symbol. But the circles look like moons and there are these little squares, I neither know what are these.
There is the symbol of Angharradh:

I think the artist/designers made it up.
