Deafenders of Stoneworks



The Deafenders of Stoneworks is a protest group based in the PJRE, mostly active in Rathnir. The group was founded by Steve 'Orion' Rosi on the 2nd of June, 2022. Other prominent members of the Deafenders include Icer Truthuc, Antoine Koekie De Relmont, and Shae Morningstar. Their organised protests usually attract between 5 and 20 participants, but the leader, Steve, has made it his personal mission to protest.

Goal:
The Deafenders of Stoneworks advocate for written communication, for example mail, instead of verbal communication with others in the PJRE. They generally abhor any form of loud sounds, including speech. Therefore they speak as little as possible and try to avoid any loud sounds. This is why their protests happen in (almost) complete silence.

History:
Steve, a frequent player and creator of the Steve prefix (in all its colour forms), joined the fifth international establishment of the air pigeon service one day and for a long long time did not listen to a single person sending messages to him, perhaps for 5 hours. Soon, others had joined him and also participated in this form of non-respondence. At most, there have been 21 people at the same time that did not respond or broadcast a single message, at 19:41 (7:41pm) CET on the 6th of June, 2022. As of that same day, a total of over 150 hours have been spent by the Deafenders of Stoneworks.

New Rovisha:
The Deafenders met up in New-Rovisha as pictured on the right. It was a silent celebration. They decided to destroy the Church of New Rovisha silently to protest against people talking and listening in churches all over Rathnir. Locals tell that "The church had suddenly disappeared, I did not hear a single sound".
