Lore:Dark Elf Script

Dark Elvish Script around Boethiah

This script has been used by the Dark Elves in the closing days of the Second Era in their language—specifically, by retainers of House Dres adjacent to their city of Tear. The Dark Elven culture before and after this time widely utilized the alternative Daeric Alphabet by and large for their writing, signage, and symbology. The script has also been used when rendering depictions of Boethiah. Ultimately, the prominence of this script in relation to the Daedric Script is unknown.

The script is presented in a mirrored fashion, with sentences sometimes facing right instead of left, or left instead of right, depending.
