Mherj'Anyi does not historically possess a script, and the closest thing to it are symbols that were used for ritualistic purposes and are called runic sygils, close to norse runes although it has closer ties to the Orkhon runes and possibly the Magyar runes. If it has been written only through sym...

Rules for Friends Quest:

Enough friends from the same or close time zone,
