A letter from Radagast

While staying with the Eglain, Radagast sent to Combe a scout bearing a sealed letter, inside another letter with directions about how to deliver it, so that its contents would be seen by none but the recipients, the Woodmen of Eriador who accompanied him over the Misty Mountains. Unfortunately, he forgot to account for the fact that the Woodmen do not use these "scratchings" and cannot read it. Luckily, Hildegund has learned a few runes and volunteered to learn some more at the first clan moot. Until she does, the letter waits unread at the clanhouse.


Drawn in Procreate with an iPad using a very dubious and limited understanding of phonetic linguistics which ensures I have used all the vowels wrong at least half the time. I know the diphthongs especially, but in some places I simply used them to cover the fact that English has sounds that Westron doesn't have and thus Angerthas Erebor doesn't have. My goal was to be consistent and translatable, not necessarily to be perfect.

Here's the full sized version.
