Ænönað (EYE.nuh.nahthe)

The Ænönað is the runescript of the Wylden peoples of Hrafnawyld. It was developed in the late 3rd century ATC as a writing system for the native Wylden language Tallað, and is named for the first two runes in the traditional sequence, Ænön and Aðúr.

“Each of these runes represents one of the many sounds in your words, your language. When one knows which rune makes which sound, one may assemble many of the runes together to make words. Mark then your words, written in these runes, upon a page, scroll, or even a stone if you wish. Any who know the sounds of the runes will then be able to see what you have written, and to know what it says. Such is the magic of the runes.”

-Gæðenfös the Great Raven explaining his work, the Ænönað
