Dear Wildlings, Raiders, and Role-Players of the Feywild,

It may have come to your attention that Light is no longer a member of the Feywild. I have shared elsewhere a dossier with documented messages shared between the Leadership Team and me, of which I need not make further mention.

I use this space for another purpose: I am here to thank all who have been part of this community and shared moments worth remembering with me. Particularly, I want to express my gratitude to every member of the Feywild whom I had the privilege to get to know, whether it was in Raiding, Mythic+, or someone seeking help.

I will honestly and sincerely miss you, the Gloamstalkers, the Lorekeeper, and, particularly, the Wildling, who were always eager to question.

And speaking of questioning, I am also here precisely to question authoritarianism, the attempt to impose logical consistency on arbitrary and autocratic decisions, thereby completely dismissing the nature of communities. After all, communities belong to the people who comprise them.

Moreover, Sade was right in 1947 when he noted how the excessive enforcement of rules by the Enlightenment, usually taken as a paragon of Modernity's birth, was hidden behind extreme sadism: the pleasure in displaying and exercising power over people.

We must never give up our ability to think critically in the face of repressed sadism masked behind excessive enforcement of rules, as Adorno defended. In reality, what authoritarianism most fears is critical thinking: the people who make up this community can very much understand and partake in philosophy.

The members of the Feywild are not illiterate children. On the contrary, they are adults who deserve respect and freedom of thought.

As Gilles Deleuze wrote in 1961, and I conclude my open letter,

"Philosophy does not serve the State or the Church, which have other concerns. It serves no established power. The use of philosophy is to sadden. A philosophy that saddens no one, that annoys no one, is not a philosophy. It is useful for harming stupidity, for turning stupidity into something shameful. Its only use is the exposure of all forms of baseness of thought."

Light be with you.
