I have been working on my alphabet, and kinda had a bit of loss of creativity, so I took some letters from other language scripts (mostly cyrillic and greek), but a good number of these letters are my own modifications.
so here's my script which follows the Valerjan letter ordering of AKVH:
NOTE:
*Chanar dropped letter Adz, and uses the digraph dz instead.
*Letter Rú is a flexible letter, and can represent an Alveolar Approximant /ɹ/, Alveolar Flap /ɾ/ or Alveolar Trill /r/, depending on geographical area. North Arkheo uses either /ɹ/ or /ɾ/, South Arkheo uses either /ɾ/ or /r/, and Chanar uses either /ɹ/ or /r/.
*Letter Ban which is represented by "B" is missing from the alphabet, buit it's between letter Ĕr and letter San, it has phonemic value of /b/.
*Letter Áx arose more out of convenience rather than necessity and it used to represent /x/ which is replaced by Letter Hyt Dialgy (Acute H).
*Letter Čý does not have a glyph yet, thought about merging a Tas and Šý together for it.
My language also has palatal forms which means they make a more y-like sound, like when you say "cue" or the "cu" in "cute",that's a palatalized K. So these palatals would be represented by Dialgy (Acute):
Žj= /ʑ/
Cj = /tsʲ/ or /k/
Nj = /ɲ/
Mj= /mʲ/
Q = /kʲ/
Gj = /gʲ/
Thats about it for now.

"Turning iron ore into iron swords is a hard process, for one must first dig out the rock, and melt it to refine it, then one must pour that metal into a mould, let it cool a bit, and pound on it while it cools even further. Games are no different." - Ahzoh
