How does the cult handle deaf and/or hard of hearing followers? Is there a fully fleshed out sign language in these lands?
they handle the deaf like any other person, really. and narinder handles the language like he would any other as well.

Hello! If you don’t mind, could we get some merformers Optimus Prime headcanons please? I really like your work and I’m looking forward to seeing more of whatever you choose to write. I hope you have a lovely weekend!
♡ He's a LARGE mer. It's easy to forget when you're always looking down at him from a dock or a boat but he's actually about twelve feet long and very muscular.
♡ Optimus has always been fascinated by humans and after befriending you, he asks endless questions about your culture and what life is like on land.
♡ When you decide to read while waiting for him to show up at the docks, he's curious about what you're doing and is immediately interested when you explain the plot of the book.
♡ But he doesn't understand the text and gently refuses your offer to teach him. Even if he were to learn to read, he wouldn't want to damage your books with water or his claws.
♡ So you start reading out loud to him instead.
♡ And he loves how you make the stories come alive.
♡ He also loves swimming with you. It's one of his favorite things to do and when the sea is calm, he invites you to lay on top of him while he floats on his back. It's how you cuddle and he finds it very relaxing.
♡ If you can't swim, Optimus would gladly teach you or let you ride on his back if that would be more comfortable for you.
♡ He shows you hidden places around the islands no one knows about except for him and now you. A small, secluded cove not far from town becomes your new meeting spot.
♡ Optimus often brings you things from the sea that he thinks you might like. Colorful shells are the most common but he once gave you a necklace he found buried in the sand. It's a sparkling necklace with an opal stone and once you put it on, you've rarely taken it off since.
