Uruk Runes   Uruk Runes

Uruk Runes were possibly created by a fan or fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's books, such as the The Lord of the Rings triology. They are used to write the Black Speech of a race of Orcs known as Uruk-hai, who are apparently hybrids of Orcs and men.

The Uruk Runes are modelled mainly on Elder Futhark.
