> The only thing I can think of is that, according to King of Sartar, the origin of the name of the Empire of Wyrms Friends was the banner they used which had symbols on it resembling EWF. This would seem to indicate that the Heortlings use the Latin alphabet.

Apocryphal scholarly speculation. The Orlanthi scripts are described in Sartar page 161. None are the Latin alphabet, although Dog Scratching might resemble the Northeastern Iberian scripts (but with more symbols looking like Gloranthan runes).
