Writing Systems in Golarion?


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


We’ve gotten a decent amount of information about the languages of Golarion over the years, but I’ve never been able to find anything about the scripts they actually use to write them. I know the Forgotten Realms setting for D&D has alphabets for things like Common, Dwarven, Elven, and Draconic; do we have anything similar yet?

We specifically never created scripts or alphabets for the languages of Golarion, to save us time when it comes to editing. Especially when it comes to showing writing in artwork, since that's a lot tougher to correct than typos and errors in text. So, feel free to use alphabets of your own design or preference in your home games!

That was quick and straightforward, thank you!
