Writing System

Dwarvish uses a runic alphabet known as Dvarek, but, unlike the other written languages of the civilized realms is rarely inscribed onto parchment, rather it is chiseled onto weapons, armor, and monuments.

Notes

• Dwarvish is heavily inspired by a mix of Germanic (including elements of Old High German) and Scottish Gaelic, along with some words of my own invention.
