As an enthusiastic language lover and creative, I've always fantasized with the

idea of creating a full-fledged fantasy culture. Worldbuilding, so to speak. It's a

hard endeavor, and I'm still trying to figure out how to do it. The number one
feature I wanted this culture to have is, undoubtedly, its own language in which
its people can live and tell stories. For the sake of endowing this world and its
people with "realism", I had to devise a conglang (script included) in which their
mythology, customs, habits, and way of life in general would be communicated.

Inspired by the work of J.R.R. Tolkien (Lord of the Rings, creator of languages
such as the Elvish language native to the Middle-Earth, or Quenya) and George
R.R.Martin (creator of the Dothraki language, featured in Game of Thrones),

script.

So the symbol for K is actually read as "ka", the symbol for G is read "ga" an so
on. Vocalic values are indicated by different signs, that are placed before, after,
above or below the symbol.
