Writing System

Orcish uses a very primitive glyphic alphabet, which is scrawled onto war banners, caves, and even armor, but what makes this script unique is that only shamans are said to be literate in this writing system.

Notes

• Orcish is purely my own invention, with a few words borrowed from Warcraft's Orcish.
