Pristine Oracle Script

Lore

Since at least the 14th century BC, the Shang Dynasty in China used turtle shells and animal bones for divination, with diviners inscribing the results beside the fire-cracked lines. These records formed the earliest mature system of Chinese characters. The oracle bones are mostly brown and yellow in appearance, with characters that are thin and sharp like a knife. The content covers rainfall, war, and sacrifices, with the direction of the cracks determining major decisions for the dynasty over hundreds of years.
