The stormwarden script is a Rosharan writing system used by stormwardens, the scholars who predict highstorms.[1]
Structure
In contrast to women's script, which is an alphabet, the stormwarden script is partly a logographic system, and partially a syllabary. Glyphs, representing a single word either alone or in clusters of two or three, are strung together to form complete sentences. They are usually simplified, ignoring the proper calligraphy. For words that do not have a glyph representation, the writer instead uses the glyphs that best transcribe the word when read phonetically -- for example, parap, shenesh and idi for Parshendi. Such phonetic representations are marked by underlining the symbols.[1]
Culture
Unlike other branches of scholarship, stormwardens are either mostly or exclusively male.[2][1] As such, in the East of Roshar, the Vorin tradition forbids them from writing.[3] However, Vorinism permits men to use glyphs, which is why the stormwardens used them to create their own writing system.[1]
That the stormwardens utilize glyphs extensively is well-known to the general public, but their phonetic use appears to be kept secret, as to some Vorins, it would change what they're doing from "interpreting" glyphs to "reading" them. This, in turn, would make the script taboo in the eyes of the church.[1]
While the non-Vorin countries have their own stormwardens, the divisions that forbid men from writing do not apply there.[4] As such, it can be assumed that the script isn't used there, or at least isn't used as extensively.
