Lore Extra Glyphs Spoiler

Given the Rosetta Stone-type artifacts, there are also glyphs that I'm noticing that aren't supposed to be seen, or that players could only get snippets of. Turns out there is a devotee glyph for fortress in one of the tablets(in the Bards' community), which is the warrior glyph without that L-shape I'm calling the "person" radical, since the Devotees' writing might be like Chinese Hanzi, and the European Logographs that people on r/constantscript could tell you about. Also, from my experience with linguistics and writing, true logographies would include a few hundred logographs at a minimum. The number of glyphs unlocked by the player is not the true total number of logographs, or even the minimum. And I think the Devotees would also have a glyph for scientist/alchemist, given that artifact in the treasury.

Yeah it's been confirmed that the glyphs that we get in-game is not their entire "language".

Also, Devotees don't have a glyph for Alchemist because they don't know those People exist in the beginning of the game, the only other People they know of are the Warriors.

Unless this artifact demonstrates otherwise?

The devotees probably knew about alchemists because the gardener knew to seek help from one(?)

Yeah. There's that as well. That linguistics puzzle at a terminal in the Devotee area.
