that wouldn't be enough even for an uber researcher

And don't forget not all symbols should make sense initially
Devs were extremely talented and creative people but still not Super-brains
maybe the Fyros just didn't know how to write
*ashamed*

Why?
6 Symbols are enough to state: "Eat, Drink, Fight, be Rude, Proliferate!!"

Oh come on, be nice pls

The fyros are cool. They are noble, they fight with honor, they have really cool burning guns and their architecture is far more original and beautiful than the zorai one
P/S I could have said at start: Drat these zorai pictograms just make no sense, they are pure ornamentation... all cities have same writing on flags, how original...
When you get to know a culture better you begin to have much more respect for those people

this page of the lore
there are some golden symbols that have a fyrosian "style"
Huh, those aren't the ones that are on the roads. I'll see if I can get some screenshots of the ones I was referring to.

Great work, and if the matis pictograms are effectively sentences in French, I think I can help
(yep I hate the matis IG but know you enemy as the old saying goes

)

Nice work Komissar
I also noticed Fyros and Matis symbols are alphabetic ones, while Trykers ones are syllables.
Matis seems to be french (we can read french words from aura effects

).

It would be really nice if you could post the meaning of the words from aura effects
And if you could have a go at matis ones and kami ones it would also be great. Thouggh I really doubt matis ones have enough material for a research...
