Writing System

Common uses the Thûlian script, which was said to have been invented by a group of scribes from the holy city of Trevain, whose names were long since lost to the passage of time itself.

Notes

  • Common is largely based on archaic English (along with some terms taken from various regional dialects, and some terms of my own addition).
Common Phrases
Adieu
Farewell (formal)   Bend the Knee
