Writing systems of Sata.
The languages I made for that old worldbuilding project were always intended to have a shared history, and this recent rework has given me an excuse to piece more of it together, including finally replacing some old placeholder names: the setting as a whole is now the continent of Sata (or Saton or Satu, depending on the region or language), and the "Arcane" language has been dubbed Arcali. I'll probably keep "Arcadia" around as an exonym or somesuch.
"The earliest known history of Sata describes a schism between, and subsequent migrations of, the 'forest people' (satonto, for whom the region and eventually the continent as a whole would be named) and the 'sea people' (desonto). Over time, Satonto writing would develop into Satale, which would itself split into High Satale and Low Satale. The former was favored in the northern highlands (Ontaele), while the latter spread along the coast southward (Devera) and westward (Arcali). Remnants of Desonto writing have been recorded, alongside a direct descendant now referred to as Desvan. Over time, these fell out of use and were displaced by Satale and its successors. Later on, Sanim writing would be imported from overseas during a time of colonial expansion, and still sees widespread use in the region."
