Sample text in the Ancient alphabet


We advanced as we were designed. We reached the Great Kind One.
It warned us of the final plague, the threat to all that thrive.
The Great One had a plan. A door of keys for the chosen.
But we were builders, not heroes. In the event that the plan failed,
We carved the Infinite Sanctuary to salvage what little life we could.
We are destined to not remain, as is the Great One.
Its legacy will be its remnants, and ours shall be our temples.
