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).
