Development
For Etolian I wanted it to look ancient, since it's an ancient language that has stuck to its roots for eons. I got the idea of making the writing system for Etolian rounded and based off of circles after seeing the writing that's in Caba113's illustrations. I wanted the writing to sort of "fit together", kind of like a puzzle!
