T̹ejý

The T̹ejý script was invented by Elijah Martin to write Atsécï, a conlang appearing in his fantasy novel, Blood of the Serpent. Atsécï is spoken by the people of Íkelos, known to their enemies as the Profane. The writing system first appeared during the War of the Blood, a conflict between the Profane, humanity and the gods, when it was created to write Atsécï by the Profane's first emperor, the Dark Lord. The writing system was accepted and is still in common use. The name "t̹ejý" means "the strokes," composed of "t̹ej," meaning "stroke" or "marking," and the definite plural article -ý.

Notable Features

Type of writing system: alphabet
Direction of writing: left to right in horizontal lines
Voiced counterparts to consonants are not represented with their own letters, but are instead represented with the letter for the unvoiced consonant plus a special mark to indicate that it is voiced.
Vowels are only written as special markings underneath the letter for /h/, never on their own.
All consonants follow the same formula of a slash and vertical stalk and one or more hoops, then any additional strokes.
