I am writing on behalf of my chum Toby316 whose wizards community stuff is acting all haywire and he can't post himself.

He wants to know if there is a place to find alphabets for all the races. He says he already has a dwarven alphabet but he would like to get others. Any links or actual helps would be useful.

Can you help a DM out?

where is the dwarven alphabet? Is that online, or in any paticular book??

Sorry I can't help you with anything other than a
.../bump :)

Here's a site (http://wwwusers.imaginet.fr/~smartin/elfique/index.htm) for Elven language, but it's French/Elven :D

Here's a site (http://www.fantasist.net/draconic.shtml) for Draconic.

For orcish and/or goblinoid, you could search a Star Trek site about Klingon language...

The FRCS has 3 different sets of script for the alphabet, which are supposed to represent 3 different alphabets that are used for a bunch of different languages in the Realms. If you want actual symbols to use when you're writing out notes and maps and stuff for your players to decipher, it might be what you're looking for.

Both alphabets are Tolkien's alphabets he created for LOTR. If you have the 1985 PC game Pool of Radiance it came with a translation wheel. As I assume you do not have that here are some links:

Dwarven Runes:

Hope that helps.
