The Whirlwind Brush Method is said to be the first of the Three Perfected Styles of Calligraphy, a way of writing the characters of Old Realm set out by the Immaculate of Air Mela in the text The Immaculate Brush.
The Method makes use of long, curving brushstrokes, allowing the calligrapher to create beautiful characters quite quickly, provided they have trained their hand and eye to perfection. The Whirlwind Brush Method lies at the root of the characters used in written High Realm, and in the art of brushstroke painting.
Though in the present day the Immaculate Order and Scarlet Dynasty hold that the Method was devised by Mela, in truth it was the work of the Solar Exalted during the First Age. The Order holds that examples of the Method in the texts of the Anathema are in fact examples of the Duplicitous Form Execration.
