OBELISK WRITING (1/3)
The obelisks we've studied so far indicate a formal writing system, consisting of logograms and syllabary, validating my hypothesis. Certain lexigraphs are repeated hinting at a thematic consensus. Alternatively, a limited vocabulary
As per usual, I cannot decipher the language. I am disappointed but not surprised.

PROGRESS! ALSO - HEADACHES! (2/3)
After weeks of in-depth study, I've found parallels between the simplified ancient phonetic characters to the historic origins of phonemic human writing.
I theorize that the modern alphabetical system may be derivative of the ancient syllabary. Sadly the investigation could not continue do to the deathly and strange odor emitted from a nearby opening... It has clouded the minds of my researchers and caused everyone headaches. Just like the ancient writing, but worse.
Why did the Ancients not simply create a traditional alphabet instead of relying on multiple unique, overly complex symbols for every single syllable? Pictograms would have don the job, too.

CONFUSION ABOVE ALL (3/3)
We meant to decipher the ancient language on our expedition. My findings so far:
The little symbol that looks like a sleeping Fae Deer means "fire". Or something. I humbly suggest these symbols were constructed in the most obscene fashion to purposefully ridicule researchers.
However, I see unique signs compared to western obelisks... A dialect?
Perhaps it's true what the townsfolk say, and the Ancients truly intend to keep their secrets forever. I wonder what they're trying to hide.
