Here are more details:
Hochelagan Runes (wuDork)
Hochelagan runes (see chart) are used in the Kingdom of Hochelaga for
written communication. The system is adapted from the Norwegian Futhark.
Although the allophonic use of voicing somewhat ameliorated the ambiguities
inherent in the system, the original version possessed the following
ambiguities: s, S, and t_S (all s); i and e (both i); t and t_S (both t). In
the final version, s and i and t retained their Norwegian shapes. The rune
for S was formed by the left-handed segment of s and the rune for i. The
rune for t_S was formed by the rune for t and the right-hand segment of s.
The rune for e was formed by added a dot to the rune for i.

Inuit Runes (vuKuurk)
Inuit runes (see chart) are used in the Inuit lands of the Northern League
for written communication. The system is adapted from the Norwegian Futhark.
Although the lack  of voicing distinctions in Inuktitut somewhat ameliorated
the ambiguities inherent in the system, the original version possessed the
following ambiguities: G, R, and h (all h); k, q, and N (all k); s and K
(both s); v and K (both f); i and ii (both i); a and aa (both a). In the
final version, k, h, s, and v retained their Norwegian shapes. The rune for
G was formed by adding a center dot to k. The rune for R was formed by
adding a dot to h. The rune for q was formed by adding a dot in the ‘crook’
of k. The rune for N was formed by added a dot in the crook of n. The rune
for D was used as the rune for K. The rune for ii was formed by adding a
center dot to i. The rune for aa was formed by adding a center dot to a.


The rune for S was formed by the left-handed segment of s and the rune for
i. The rune for t_S was formed by the rune for t and the right-hand segment
of s. The rune for e was formed by added a dot to the rune for i.
