Stormwarden script is a writing system on Roshar used by the male scholars who predict highstorms.[1]
Normally, writing is considered a feminine pursuit.( women's script ) But Stormwarden is a male profession that require a lot of writing and calculation. Thus, a script is invented, adapting glyphs for use as a written language, stringing groups together to form sentences, and occasionally uses glyphs phonetically to create words that do not yet have glyphs representing them. One example of this is the word 'Parshendi', represented by the three glyphs 'parap', 'shenesh' and 'idi', strung together and underlined to indicate that the word is being spelled phonetically.[1]
