Selective by design
This is a brotherhood, not a mailing list
We keep DEFEND deliberately small so that trust between members means something. Admission is by application and review.
- Every applicant is reviewed. Membership is a standing, not a subscription.
- The society is intentionally kept small and high-trust.
- Patron listings are reserved for vetted service providers and tradesmen.
- Members are expected to uphold the standards and reputation of the society.
