I am drawing some Cabal for my comic, so I thought it would be interesting to add actual Ulurant for immersion and decided to create a working font to make things easier :)
Sources used:
Official Warmind comic for basic alphabet and symbols (I made up the " : ; and ?)
Reddit for missing characters
Numbers: Skyburner's Oath weapon in game
Here's the link to download for free! This is also my first time creating a font. I hope it's useful!

My dealer: got some straight gas 🔥😛 this strain is called "the Midnight Coup" 😳 you'll be zonked out of your gourd 💯
Me: yeah whatever. I don't feel shit.

My buddy Ga’our pacing: Calus is lying to us

Me and a character from the Good Place were tracking down a cabal of arms dealers. We caught them at a party, but they were pissed and told their pet dragon to kill us. I escaped, and then spent several minutes looking for my puppy with Tom Scott’s assistance.

Wait what's wrong with calling the Uluran cabal?? I understand drifter and not calling him rat but doesn't Caiatl literally call them all Cabal? ‘We are cabal, we drink ——’
Great question! So I want to start off by saying that I'm not Jewish, so I'm not the authority on this, however, multiple D2 players who are Jewish (as well as those outside of the D2 community) have spoken out about the usage of the word, both improper and general. This also is actually part of a Bungie rabbit hole (for lack of better words) that leads to a lot of the Uluran stuff in having antisemitic and appropriated Jewish things in them.
Like when I first took notice I thought "oh maybe it's just this one thing that's common even though it's not good" but uh. Nope. There's a lot of it unfortunately and SOMETIMES it has me wondering if it's actually on purpose or not depending on who's handling it.
There was one post I wanted to link that did a great job at explaining things, however I can't seem to find it anywhere, BUT, Bel made a great post about this sort of thing here that's also important to check out.
That being said, I encourage these folks (including those who don't play D2 who happen to see this) to reach out and explain this better than me, because I'm still learning to commit these things to memory (and that's def on me for not being able to yet), and the last thing I want to do is fuck up and misinform others.
I do however, think it's fair game to say "the character said this because the writers made them say it, not because they chose to of their own volition because they aren't real".

I've been rediscovering my love for Clive Barker this week due to finally managing to see The Ultimate Cabal Cut of Nightbreed (some kind soul has uploaded it to YouTube) and then re-reading Cabal, the book it was based on.
Cabal is amongst my favourite books ever written (though as a bibliophile that list is extremely long!) and one of my favourite movies. I originally saw it in the early 90s when I was probably far too young, and read the book not long after.
I backed the Occupy Midian campaign in 2012 when the lost footage was being searched for and reintegrated into the movie, and I attended a screening of one of the early edits where I met Nicholas Vince and Simon Bamford (Kinski and Ohnaka in Nightbreed, but better known as two of the Cenobites from Hellraiser). This led to the eventual DVD/Blu-ray release of The Directors Cut (which I got a physical copy of) and then The Ultimate Cabal Cut (which I didn’t, and which I haven't seen until now).
It's an oversimplification to call Barker's work horror, especially in Cabal/Nightbreed - this was the mistake the production company made when originally editing and marketing it.
Clive Barker's vision shows us the beauty of the weird, the macabre, the abnormal, and the supernatural, and the true horror in his work comes from the "normal".
In Cabal/Nightbreed his monsters are not evil, they're simply different - undead, mutants and supernatural beings, a metaphor for anyone who has ever felt othered by society. Midian is a place where they can live safely with no fear or judgement. The evil characters are "naturals", humans who hate and fear the monsters for being different even though they pose no threat, and ultimately try to destroy them.
As a member of the LGBT community it's easy to see where Barker's motivation for this metaphor came from, but it could equally apply to just about anyone who feels like they don't fit in. Certainly as a lonely, bullied, weird child when I first read/saw it, who then grew up into a reasonably weird adult, I'd love for the monsters to come and take me away to Midian.
Anyone seeing this who isn't familiar with the book/movie, I'd urge you to look them up, as well as others by Barker. More of my favourites by him are Imajica, Abarat and of course The Hellbound Heart, filmed as Hellraiser. The Forbidden from short story anthology The Books of Blood was also filmed as Candyman.
Below I've linked The Cabal Cut of Nightbreed. Even if you know and love the original theatrical release I'd still urge you to watch this (quick as you can in case its removed due to copyright!).
In addition to doubling the movie length from 1 hour 40 mins to 3 hours 20 mins, a number of the actors voices have been re-recorded as they were overdubbed in the theatrical version for some reason, notably those of Rachel, and Lylesberg, played by Doug Bradley. It was a crime to remove that man's beautiful voice and wonderful to hear it back where its meant to be.
Also, rather than being a standard horror movie heroine who seems to be there only to scream and be rescued, in this version Lori comes across as much stronger and more well-rounded character.
As it says in the opening text, although much of the footage was of good quality there are some sections where all they had available were degraded VHS tapes, some of which were without audio. This means the editing is also a little clunky in places. However the makers of this version wanted to include everything they possibly could in order to bring it in line with the original shooting script and Clive Barker's epic vision for the piece.

[...] she no longer knew horror from fascination. Perhaps she'd never known.
