Is Daedric letter for letter?

Post » Sun Oct 16, 2011 4:21 pm

To elaborate. Can you use Daedric letters interchangeably with English ones? Like the word Avenge. Use the Daedric Runes Ayem Vehk Ekem Neht Geth Ekem. Using the Runes to replace the English letters A V E N G E?

Anyone know? Is the grammar structure the same and such?

Daedric is just a font type. There isn't a language in there. Using Daedric is just like using Times New Roman, Arial Black, or Georgia.

Daedric, as we know it, is simply an alphabet. There are occasionally sources in daedric which can't be translated, and presumably these are in a daedric language, but in most instances it's simply an alphabet substitute of English.

Or in the case of the bible of the deep ones, it's in Esperanto.

Ah so it is just a font then thanks. http://albinodunmer.deviantart.com/art/Character-Portrait-Amaraz-263625474

So this means Avenge on the Eyebrow and Earn on the cheek are correct then?
