Aylia and Felincia do come from a highly literate society -- even lower-class families can afford books, if not loads of them. (Specialized spells would bring down mass-production costs.)

Upper Daynian looks something like Japanese in its writing system: part phonetic, but also part character-based. It sounds completely different, though, and it's ridiculously complicated.
