Would I be wrong in saying that I feel illiteracy comes in varying degrees?
A character or those with low education might not be at the standard of a poet or be able to write flowing prose, but would probably be able to pick up the ability to read simple words, signs and numbers.
For example, I can read a few word and to 99 in the numerical system of the native tongue of my family. Conversation is fine, but advanced saying and the business language elude me. Ask me to look at a map and I can figure things out eventually. Ask me to read a news article and I'll fail spectacularly.Â
Game wise, I figure that most adventuring types will figure out some semblance of reading and writing so that they could look at posts and jobs on the board. Soldiers would have rudimentary levels of writing and reading to be able to relay orders and scouting reports.
EDIT: canon wise, Curious Gorge studies the lore of his tribe in an effort to revive it and later his brother is alluded to scouring old texts for references to warriors of old, to one specifically. They're also apparently from some small village in the mountains. Just some food for thought, yeah?
