Primally. For like ten uninterrupted seconds. Because technically, screaming is an action, not a word, and doing it certainly achieved the action of making the others shut up... xD
I have to admit that this is an aspect I kind of want to toyaround with.
Perhaps it’s simply due to the company I keep but I see anumber of people who seem to strangely assume that a Qestir tribe member will be completely mute and restricted to body language and facial expressions only due to their lore stating very specifically that they refrain from using words.
We’re given the in-game example of them refraining from spoken language and given the tribe description we assume that they also avoid written language and signing.
It honestly fascinates me that people think a character must be completely silent when the only thing they’re technically restricted from is the use of words. Especially when it's clearly a taught concept, there's the potential for sound slip ups right there.
