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 pairs or trios, 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 represent the word it phonetically -- for example, parap, shenesh and idi for Parshendi. Such phonetic representations are marked by underlining the symbols.[1]

Culture

Unlike most other scholarly profession, 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 what the stormwardens used 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 them" to "reading". 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.
