So I picked up a scroll last eve, don't remember which one, but it read
DOWN WITH DUNMER OPPRESSION!!
:laff:
I love reading the scrolls. Most are just 'woe upon you' but occasionally, occasionally, there's a good one...

Where do you pick up such scrolls, if I may ask? I've picked up almost every scroll I;ve come across in the game and I've never read anything like that.....ot are you translating the Daedric writing on spell scrolls?

Translating the daedric writing. If you look around the map and the game box, you can figure out enough of the letters. Note, though, that x, y, and z don't exist, they're just left as blank spaces. Took me a while to figure that out.

Ah. Well, who knew?
Thanks for the correction, Striker.

I actually downloaded the daedric font from Aldrien's Chalice website a while ago and I have it as the set font on my desktop-it looks great seeing everything in Daedric, although it tends to annoy other people when they use the PC as they can't work out what it's saying! I'm afraid I've just been too lazy to translate the scrolls though :)

Heh heh. I was once tempted to download the Predator font once, but I decided against it since I still didn't fully understand their number system. Kinda regret that now, since the site I found it on no longer exists. :(

And you really should read the scrolls, some are absolutely hilarious--

You pick it up, and it'll open up, revelaing daedric writing and the 'take' or 'close' options. You can figure out the alphabet they use from the paper map (which says 'morrowind province' across the top) and the box, which has the great house names around the outside ('dren' at the top, 'dagoth' at the bottom, 'hlallu' on the lower left, 'telvan' at the lower right, and then 'redoran' and 'indoril' at the top on the sides, I don't remember which is on which side. But like I said, it's easy enough to figure out). Happy reading!
