Cronam    Cronam

The Cronam alphabet was invented by Nathanael Hodge to write Lantyrian, a language used in a story he started but never completed. He has since gone on to develop it and the language for its own sake.

Internal History

This script derives ultimately from an earlier logographic script, symbols from which were borrowed to make an alphabet in a manner resembling the origin of our own alphabet. These symbols developed over time, eventually resulting in the script used by the Cronam empire. In around 250, this was borrowed by the inhabitants of the Island of Lantyr, who adapted it to write Lantyrian. They developed a pen written form, which over the years grew more and more ornate until by the Middle Ages it had taken the form shown here.
