Tengwar

Tengwar is the name for the writing system used by Elves throughout the history of Middle-earth. Details on the writing itself can be found here, here, and here.

Within the LotR-TCG, special promotional cards were released with all text written using this script. The text was hand-lettered by noted New Zealand artist Daniel Reeve, the official calligrapher and cartographer of The Lord of the Rings movies. His work includes the text shown on the inscription of The One Ring and the text within the pages of the Book of Mazarbul.

Tengwar cards are legal to use and are considered identical to their English counterparts for gameplay purposes.
