Description

Devānachira is an ancient script used to write the Pashrivāksha language. "Devāna" means "divine" and "chira" means "symbol" or "form". Pashrivāksha (which translates to "language of creation" or "word of creation") is the language supposedly spoken by the gods. The language itself holds great power and facilitates harmony between the sound of the spoken word, and the meaning. In fact, the entire universe is believed to be the result of two gods holding a conversation in Pashrivāksha. When mortals speak Pashrivāksha, it allows them to perform magic.

The exact origin of the Devānachira script is not known, but it was likely developed by the Jnānī Sanya (Order of the Wise Men) as part of their efforts to conserve and protect the knowledge of magic.

Inscriptions in this language can often be seen decorating locations that are significant to the order, as well as holy sites.


Devānachira and Pashrivāksha were inspired by Devanagari and Sanskrit. I developed them with the primary goal of having a cool looking script for inscriptions.
