Olde Tronkish

A pictorial dead language created by an advanced human culture which was destroyed over one millennia ago when the fae rose to power. Each symbol is said to have no less than 400 different meanings depending on the context and there are over 8000 glyphs.

For example, a shell like glyph with two curls at the bottom (which is commonly seen on cave walls) can be translated as “danger” or “fresh cheese” depending on the orientation and use in the sentence.

The head scholar on this language was Professor William Campbell of Illestrad and the University of Carlsbridge (deceased). It is said that he passed his knowledge of this incredible language onto his “children”. However, the previous statement is odd as Professor Campbell only had one child, a biological son.
