        I had always thought of New Pelorian as a sort of bare-bones lettered alphabet for ease of learning. Which, in my estimation, means it owes something to the West. Letters are pretty rare in the RW compared to writing based on ideograms and syllabic characters; there's no reason Glorantha should be any different. I realize there is some material on lettered Pelorian in GRoY, but the Dara Happa seem so hieroglyphic to me, it seems a pity not to give them an elaborate sacred written language.
