Just to quibble, Praxian knot messages are still writing (in my book), just not script. I'm sure that each of the runes known to the Praxians has a knot form (I know that chaos does!)
If I recall correctly, the runes written forms very (by large or small degrees) from culture to culture. I seems apparent to me that the runes do not have any "true" physical form, but that the written/carved/knotted shapes have meaning and when in certain frames of mind can trigger new and different frames of mind that empower magic. At least that's my understand.

(Although it is amusing when you go all Praxian-point-of-view on us.)
