This is simply a visual reference for the items that will be appearing on an earthberg near you.
This will be a big long plot with lots of opportunities for people to get involved. People who do IC research, post on the boards, and ask lots of questions will get a lot more attention than those who wait around hoping to get pulled into the plot.
But in all seriousness this glyph alphabet... how are we supposed to use it for reference? OOC or IC? Or is it something that a PC stumbles on and if they decide to do research come across this table in the Nagritch library?
In retrospect this may seem like a dumb question but I like being clear on stuff. Thanks!
I joined CoPaP and all I got was this lousy signature.
There are rune stones involved in the plot that don't look IC'ly like their NWN appearances. There are descriptions on the runes as to what they should IC'ly look like, but a description is no substitute for a picture. The symbol is what you would IC'ly see on the rune. The name is something that any native to Ysgard would recognize and any little bit of research would reveal it to anyone else.
By the way....Psye (13th Hour) and I are both running this plot. If you have questions you don't want to post publicly, feel free to PM either of us.
