Adunaroth

Adunaroth

This conscript was created in 2004 by Arno Luyendijk as a derivation on
the fictional history of the Numenoreans in The Silmarillion by
J.R.R. Tolkien.

Arno is art historian by education and a great lover of medieval manuscripts
and fantasy novels and films, and is also a graphic artist/painter. Ancient
scripts have always been an important source of inspiration for him.

The name of the script is a creation from the word Adunaic language meaning
“Tracks of men”.
