Gnomes tend to distrust elves. [[Dwarf|Dwarves]] brought written word to the mountainous [[Orc]]s, and adventurous [[Goblin]]s. Thus, those languages are written in that script. After some early wars, these groups have been relatively friendly with each other. [[Primordial]] was transliterated to Common by [[Triton]]s after the [[Post-Illiman Commancy]]. [[Elemental]]s still don't write.
