Message: <blockquote data-quote="Imperialus" data-source="post: 6655858" data-attributes="member: 893">The script is totally unrecognizable.  The characters look like strange and complex combinations of lines forming rectangles and triangles, all harsh angles and straight lines.  As a point of comparison the Eldrich script is very flowing, with few angles and many whorls and tails embellishing the characters.  The old Thulian writing uses mostly the same alphabet as the modern traders language of the city states, it's just the language you don't understand.  As for landmarks, nothing on the map looks familiar.  If the city in the center was indeed supposed to depict Dwimmermount, then the cartographer must have been terrible at his job as he seems to have left off the entirety of the mountain range that Dwimmermount is in.  The ocean also appears to be to the south and east rather than the west, at least assuming that the rose does indeed point north. Upon passing the map to Climent he shakes his head.  "Not a clue my friend, sorry.  I've never seen such a script before.  We might need to find a sage in Adamas to deduce the meaning behind this."Climent also takes a look at the fencing manual.  "Now this I can read.  If you want I could translate it for you.  I know you are both men of action, not words, but Tyrleth was one of the greatest swordsmen to have ever lived.  His words were near as possible to gospel amongst Thulian soldiers and they did manage to conquer most the world using his techniques." he flips through the pages before turning the book back "Look!  He even has written techniques depicting stratagems specifically for dwarves and I suppose humans when they find themselves fighting an opponent with a height advantage."  The section he shows you has a depiction of a dwarf battling an ogre using his shorter stature to get within the ogres guard so that he can bring his axe to bear on his opponents hamstring.</blockquote>
