View source for Vesknot

'''Vesknot''' was a dead language of the dwarves whose only known instance is the rune puzzle on [[Melgorehn's Reach]].

The meaning of the rune puzzle is obscure. The [[Granto'k]] lived on the southeast side of [[Jaiman|Zor]].
==Behind The Scenes==
Vesknot does not correspond to any obvious [[ICE age|I.C.E. Age]] source material language. It is a fairly direct allusion to The Hobbit (the Smaug inhabited mountain of Erebor), with the secret language of Khuzdul and its Cirth runes or "moon letters." The Dwarves of [[Shadow World]] did not have an established language, and they were known as "Nom-ri" in the dead language of [[Iruaric]].

<div {{log}}>
There are five protrusions with rune markings.  You recognize them as letters from the dead dwarven language Vesknot; something you picked up early in your childhood.  Four of the runes are lined up in a row, labeled: R, S, Z and O, in dwarven.  The last one, labeled E, is directly under the S rune.  The purpose of all this is vague to you.
