The King of Nowhere Ch 6  Chapter 6

The dreamer felt a stirring, a wind on the windless plain, one that he had felt a hundred times before.
 A fire was burning somewhere, melting away a link of chain.
 He could feel it, that sweet odour of waking.
 The sun was high in the dark sky -- soon it would be midday.
 The dreamer stretched his heart, and prepared to rise.

They were sitting down on the cushions of the Receiving Room of the Shrine. Doctor Armar had been left to busy himself happy in the archives ("Ah, but it seems I have forgotten where exactly the original passage is..." she had said), and Doe, the Abessa and Thorn were sipping sweet wine as

The morning fog twisted its roots around the sparse trees that shielded the clearing, and the white sky hid the Sun. Doe crashed her way over the sticks and vines of the undergrowth, accompanied by one of Fala's boys, and paused to observe the opening on the forested slopes beneath Pepper Peak.
 There was a large black stone pillar at the centre. Doe eyeballed it with malice. For something so suspiciously huge, it had been too damn difficult to find. She'd given up a few days earlier.
 "Here it is, Miss Doe," said the stable-boy.
 "Thank you, lad, you've been a real help," Doe fished her pockets, and flipped a shiny damasce

They sat at a low table, cushions and all, drinking tea, talking and having fun. Doe couldn't remember what particular things they were talking about. Master had just made a witty quip that had left the Good Lord and Good Lady in stitches. Doe laughed too.
 It was quite good tea, she liked it.
 "Do you like it?" Master asked, her grey eyes.
 "Yes, I like it very much," she answered.
 "It is ambrosia from the land of the dead," the Good Lady said grimly. Then she laughed.
 "We get so tired of it sometimes," the Good Lord said.
 "Speak for yourself," Master said, and took a gulp.

Doe was humming to herself, a habit that she had tried to learn to avoid, as she wound the woolen hairs into the mass of the grubby string.
 The late afternoon was starting to slowly colour the mountains with shadow, though the sun was far from reddening the sky. The air was moist and a bit cold, mirroring the wet earth that was being uncovered from its cloak of white. Rivulets of water ran here and there, randomly spurred downward by the unpredictable topography of the valley, and ended up in pools of brown water or, more likely, as a trampled mush of mud patterned with hard four-toed foot-prints.

My first actual font. I decided to take the bull by the et cetera, and actually try to make a font... And it was surprisingly easy. *scratches head*

Ok, this is basically a simple serif version of Anglo-Saxon runes with majuscules and miniscules, similar to the blackletter futhark I made earlier, but with much less deviation/evolution from the original.

good job on the runes, but I do wonder why dæg is turned 90 degrees is it to save on space? or did you think it looked a bit like the stan rune?

I've created a few Serif and Blackletter Furthorc fonts, the horizon stylus is reminiscent of the Cyrillic, Try the 45 degree stylus, also, you can look to other rune sets and even other alphabets for inspiration for the minuscule. ie. Cyrillic ж (zhe) for lower case Calc or Younger Furthark Man Like a decapitated Jear, for lower Man. Just putting it out there.
