I was a the book store the other day and I saw this book called "Dragonology" and it had lots of cool things, but then I turned a page and it had a whole thing about the "Dragon Script" and it was Futhorc Writing from LotR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was sooooo mad!! I looked everywhere in the book for a copyright from the Tolkien company or whatever, but there was no copyright and it was exactly Futhorc Writing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has anyone else seen this book?? I need to go to school and calm down. Bye!

im pretty sure its not the exact same text, i have the book, and im sure it isnt the same, sure it might be similar but im sure its not the same. And ancient runes have been around for a very long time, people take inspiration from them every day to create their own scripts etc.

Hey, I said the same thing, too. I have a friend who got that book from her birthday, and though I know runes have been around for ages, these looked an awful lot like Tolkien's.

Kudos to Kitoky for the fabulous signature set, and art credit to engelszorn.

You may notice that a lot of things copy from LotR. I've played computer games that have nicked so many cultural/language aspects from LotR that it wasn't even funny (actually it was, and I was pretty indignant).

We can all agree that Tolkien laid the foundations for modern fantasy. Many fantasy authors nowadays fell in love with LotR before they ever started writing.
