In the book, Jasnah postulates that all of the [[Silver Kingdoms]] of Roshar used a common writing system known as the [[Dawnchant]] during the [[Heraldic Epochs]], even though there were many different languages spoken.{{book ref|sa3|i|2}} Two [[ardent]]s at the [[Jokasha Monastery]], [[Ellista]] and [[Urv]], discuss ''Relic and Monument'' as it relates to their work translating ancient Dawnchant texts.{{book ref|sa3|i|2}}
Ellista agrees with Jasnah's theory, and believes that the use of Dawnchant as the standard scholarly writing system eventually broke down when people started phonetically transcribing their own spoken languages in Dawnchant script.
