Hi all,
I saw how Kyushou made a custom alphabet for Elswyr, recently.
And it got me thinking, we might want to implement our own alphabet at some point. I think a type of Mayan Hieroglyph alphabet would be best for the Argonians, perhaps.
I found an "English to Mayan" online dictionary, here:
http://www.famsi.org/mayawriting/diction...index.html
But we'd probably want to make our own custom glyphs, as pertinent to Blackmarsh stuff.
Also, I was thinking about how such an alphabet should be read. I think it can be read in a "swirl" pattern, like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaistos_Disc
This is not urgent, but just an idea I'm throwing out there.
