Sagokara

Sagokara was the dominant culture of the Gorox before first contact.  Sagokara was the name of the only developed city on Dasa, and the only culture on the planet with a formal writing system. 

Written Language

Sagokara writing was derived from a form of nonverbal communication Gorox used, based on blinking their eyes (Gorox have four eyes) in a fashion similar to semaphore. 

Sagokara writing takes the form of a series of boxes with the corners marked with "X"s and "O"s, depending on whether each of the Gorox's eyes would be open or closed when communicating.  These boxes in turn form a syllabary of the Sagokara spoken language.
