Vaalphabets

Vaalphabets is a fictional writing system presented in the lore of the video game "Elden Ring." It is the script used by the ancient Greater Will and its followers to inscribe various texts and symbols throughout the Lands Between. The visual appearance of vaalphabets is characterized by angular, runic-like characters, often appearing as glowing inscriptions on ancient ruins, weapons, and divine artifacts.

Its presence suggests a deep, underlying order and a form of communication that predates the current inhabitants of the world. While players cannot directly translate vaalphabets in-game, its recurring motifs and placement in significant locations hint at its importance to the overarching lore and the history of the Elden Ring universe. It serves as a visual cue for the player, reinforcing the themes of cosmic influence and forgotten knowledge. The specific meanings of individual vaalphabets characters are not explicitly defined, contributing to the enigmatic nature of the game's world-building.
