Navani's notebook is a series of pages written by the Artifabrian Navani Kholin that can be found as interior art in The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance and Oathbringer. While the originals were transliterated from English into the women's script, they have been translated into the English by fans.[1][2][3] Navani uses her notebook as a location to write down many of her ideas in. As a result it contains information about Rosharan science.
