\|image=Calligraphers Guild.svg \|type=Guild ~~\|related=[[Glyph]]s~~ \|world=Roshar \|universe=[[Cosmere]] '''Calligraphers Guild''' is an organization on [[Roshar]] responsible for creating [[glyph]]s.{{wob ref\|8960}} The Guild maintains a list of official, canonical glyphs. Whenever a new glyph is required, they create it based on a number of rules that have arisen over time, although there is a lot of stylization permitted. ~~Occassionally~~Occasionally, they may also canonize a glyph created by an amateur, if it becomes popular enough.{{wob ref\|8960}} Over time, the Guild modifies some glyphs to make them seem more modern and match the contemporary styles.{{wob ref\|9614}} The calligraphers can be rather secretive, but there aren't many mysteries to them. Their darkest secret is that glyphs can sometimes be read phonetically, although with older glyphs, the changes brought about by time can make the individual phonemes unreadable.{{file ref\|Alethi Glyphs Page 1.jpg\|Alethi Glyphs Page 1}} The guild members, as well as scholars interested in how glyphs morph over time, are still able to recognize the phonemes making up even a heavily-altered glyph.{{wob ref\|8960}} The Guild ~~occassionally~~occasionally marks some scrolls with its symbol.{{file ref\|Scroll of Stances.jpeg\|Scroll of Stances}}{{wob ref\|10211}} What this means is uncertain; perhaps it indicates that the stamped scroll is a property of the Guild, or that it's confirmed to be using only canonical glyphs. == Trivia ==
