One Fantasy Alphabet By QuanCornelius-James Watch

This is an alphabet I created for use in a fantasy story I have planned. This alphabet is part of a lost language (known as Old Nanthosian) on the planet Nanthos, a planet with three small moons orbiting the star Cygnoth. It was the alphabet of an ancient race of aliens that were once worshipped by the Nanthosians as Gods.



The Old Nanthosian alphabet is comprised of three elements: two dots, short bars, and long bars. Each letter is made up of at least 2 of the 3 elements. Different words are separated by spaces just as in human languages. However, in Old Nannthosian, the letters within the same word are separated by a slash /.



The alien race had since disappeared from Nanthos but the humans remain and they used the 26 symbols of Old Nanthosian as a template for their own runic writing system. Whereas Old Nanthosian symbols were based on simplicity, repetition, and symbolic beauty, the human writing system is based upon uniqueness of each letter and speed of writing (as some Old Nanthosian letters take a long time to write down).



Although the aliens that once ruled Nanthos have gone, they've left behind remnants of their existence throughout the world. The most intriguing of these were stone tablets scattered throughout the three continents. The tablets tell the history of the alien race and are of interest to the protagonists of the story.
