Serenwilde

I know not everyone wants to hear this, especially the Commune I just
called home, but I think others will form opinions. I know that some
might be angered, some amused, some enraged, and some indifferent, but
as it shows a side of Serenwilde uncommonly seen, I feel its important
enough to say. Kali, once a proud member of Serenwilde, was pushed into
leaving Serenwilde. There was a Commune-wide debate about this and that,
and voices became heated, and Kali had an epiphanny (Serenwilde ain't
all that great) and she left. Afterwards, Kali's departure was blamed on
me, as I was one bad-mouthing Serenwilde. Kali herself came back to the
room of a debate, and said for all to hear that her depature was not my
fault, and then she said that Serenwilde is not as great as it thinks.
Mere seconds after her words, she was killed. As Aerenna said in her own
words, "she was enemied and killed for insulting Serenwilde."
Personally, my thoughts on this matter go a bit like this: "Wow...
Serenwilde was willing to KILL someone over an insult..?" This may not
be news to some parts of the world, but it certainly was to me. Then I
made the mistake of telling the Commune of what had occured, over the
commune aetherwave. All after expressing my opinion, through words - not
swords or spells or punches or any violence - about some rather
controversial issues I was already in hot water for (I was in hot water
for insulting the Moonhart Circle and Serenwilde. Not for murder or for
theft, but my own ideas and opinions). Caedryn then promply ejected me
from Serenwilde, and enemied me to the Commune.

I know my story thus far has some blanks and gaps, namely the issues
stated I took part in, so I will express those now. One issue, which was
probably the one which put me in the most hot water, was that about
Faethorn, the Fae, and Serenwilde's intervention in that Plane. As seen
recently, there has been a change in Faethorn. And now the Fae state
clearly and unambiguously, "I want to go {here}". Here can be
Etherwilde, Etherglom, or Faethorn. Serenwilde's stance is "All Fae
wanting to remain in Faethorn can stay, but all other Fae, both Moon Fae
and Night Fae, are coming to Etherwilde." I called that stance
enslavement. Lady Lisaera corrected me on my definition of slavery (mine
being, "Forcing someone to do something against his/her/its wishes)
because I believed it to be so. That, obviously, insulted and angered
many high-powerful Serenwilders. (Note, all of my crimes thus far are
that I insulted someone or some orginization)
The next issue I took part in was that of Serenwilde's boundaries. Most
of Serenwilde believes "They're Magnagorans and Glomdoringians. They're
all bad!! Every last one of them!" I, personally, objected to that. I
know for a fact that not every Magnagoran and Glomdoringian are bad.
Justas I know that every member of Serenwilde and Celest is as good and
honest as he/she might claim. I simply stated, "Don't let one apple ruin
the basket. Either they are all enemies (and if they all are, let them
all be enemied officialy. That statement was shot down by the ones able
to decide the policy of Serenwilde) or they are not enemies. And if they
are not, they should not be banned from our forest." I believe that to
be reasonable. If they're enemies, they're enemies. If they're not, then
they're not. But, alas, my "troublemaking" as Aerenna put it, opposed
the ideas of the "big people" of Serenwilde.

So, in closing, I'd just like to say that everyone needs to make sure
that the place they live is actually what they think it is. I have had
to learn that lesson the hard way.
If you're offended by what I have said, okay. I'm sorry you're offended,
but that's what I said. If you've realized something from my words,
congrats. And if you're indifferent, then, okay. Not much else to say.

Penned by my hand on the 11th of Dioni, in the year 145 CE.
