Writing
The following alphabet was developed for Asheron's Call 2.
There are two examples of Lugian writing: the Quadruple-bladed Axe and the Map to Burun Lair. The runes on the axe are not helpful in decoding the language, but they establish that Lugian writing is runic, which means the renegade map must be Lugian and not Tumerok.
The map translates as follows:
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
= Dryreach |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
= Yanshi |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
= Baroon (Burun) |
