Lovecraft's Diary

Lovecraft's Diary was a written language of Nosgoth, encountered in Defiance.

Messages written in Lovecraft's Diary could be found throughout Defiance, particularly in the Sarafan Stronghold, Avernus Cathedral and The Elder's Lair. The characters of the text were intentionally meant to look 'Alien' and consequently the inscriptions could be easily missed, resembling 'squiggles' to the untrained eye.

Lovecraft's Diary had a 26 letter alphabet than functioned similarly to Blood Script messages seen in Blood Omen and Soul Reaver 2, in that messages could simply be translated into the latin alphabet and 'translated' into English (or French in some inscriptions). Unlike Blood Omen however, there was no decoder for Lovecraft's Diary and only the real world font (see Notes) provided the basis for translation of the symbols.
