<p>There are runes on the Hand of Serenity that I'd like to have translated. It's 10 letters. At first I figured it might either spell "Tranquility" or "Serenity", but then you'd need 1 more letter and would have 2 letters left over, respectively.</p><p>There's also letters on the handle itself, but I can't tell if those are any recognizable language or not.</p><p><img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/Cusashorn/Handofserenityletters1.png" alt="" width="1024" height="768" border="0" /><a href="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/Cusashorn/Handofserenityletters1.png" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a></p><p><img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/Cusashorn/Handofserenityletterscloseup.png" alt="" width="565" height="431" border="0" /></p>

<p>It is written in MAGICRUNE, and spells out T-R-A-N-Q-U-I-L-I-T-</p><p>Something to note here is that the lower case letters in the font set do not have the last two letters, 'Y' and 'Z'.  Those two letters only appear in the caps set.  Possibly, (probably), it was meant to spell out TRANQUILITY as you suspected, but the graphic artist was using the lower case set when he laid it out and the 'Y' got dropped.</p>

The letters on the blade are all unique, so you can rule out "Serenity" on that alone.They may just be decoration like the old Druid epic.

<p>The Blade: T R A N Q U I L I T ... Tranquility</p><p>The Handle: SE (SE) R E N I (TY) TY ... Serenity, with a pair of letters doubled at beginning and at end.</p><p>  </p><p>I took the screenshot into Photoshop so I can brighten it up then had to rotate the image so I can read the handle.</p><p>So the answer: Tranquility and Serenity spelled out in Magic Rune font.</p>

That is what I thought it was in the first place. I guess I was correct in guessing it's translation though. Thanks!
