Writing System
Celestial is typically transcribed in the Thûlian script, but the true tongue was believed to be transcribed in what are known as the Hallowed Glyphs, said to have been revealed to holy men by beings of divine light.
Notes
- Celestial is largely based on Latin (along with some words and terms of my own invention).
