Nimiriel, I think in making letters for a language it's best if:
a)all the letters are planned by the same person
b)the letters are based on some existing alphapet: for example, take some arabic letters, turn then around, twist them, alter them unrecognizable and invent some new ones...
And then ask yourself if you need an alphapet at all, and what for: illustration, map, something else...
As for the theme question:
I have two stories in progress
The themes in Chrystal heart:
- father-daughter relationship
- power and responsibility
- sibling relationships
- different roles of women
- war
- romantic love
- magic and symbols
The themes in 'Dremette':
- A woman raised like a man
- traditions and taboos and their breaking
- tension inside and between nations
- a quest
- a millennial friendship
- dragons
- symbols
