Order of the Watchfire

Joey Stout

Founder of the Order of the Watchfire — Warden of the World.

This is why

Joey lit this fire. A solutions architect and lifelong builder who gives his work away, stewards the forests he lives in, mentors those coming up behind him, and uses his voice for people the world would rather forget.

Watches held

Each watch, and why it’s held:

Charge of the Council — Warden of the World · Active

Founded the Order and stands as its first councillor, keeping the governance watch for the whole of it until the World Sect grows enough to fill its seats.

Charge of the Wild — Warden of the Forest · Active

Sustained stewardship of the forests he spends his time in — caring for the woods and the trails, not just passing through them.

Charge of the Wild — Warden of the Earth · Active

Lives by Leave No Trace as a default, everywhere — leaves every place better than he found it and cleans up what isn’t his to clean.

Charge of the Open Hand — Warden of Self · Active

Builds and gives away open-source tools: his work and skills, free for anyone to use, extend, and learn from, with no strings attached.

Charge of the Teacher — Warden of the Mentor · Active

Mentors engineers and builders coming up behind him, investing in their skill and their character over time.

Charge of the Shield — Warden of the Voice · Active

Uses his voice for people being crushed by conflict and repression — speaking up for Palestine and for Ukraine, refusing to look away.
