The map is written in old ascalonian runes. A closer look reveals that some of these runes are used to represent more than one letter. For example T and C use the same rune; A and V also share the same rune; the same happens with U and L; and again with E,F and H.
And yet the canonical ascalonian alphabet matches a single rune per letter so everything can be univocally translatable:
Line 1: ABCDEFGHIJKLM. Line 2: NOPQRSTUVWXYZ. |
There are two possibilities: either the map is written in an alphabet older than the canonical one or it was written by an apprentice scribe, which given the importance associated with such a task, seems to be the least probable possibility.
