Ephemerial wishes you a Happy New Year 2026 ❄️!
Thank you endlessly for this year, 2025.
The café opened its doors for the very first time in May.I met wonderful people along the way.
Thank you all for your kindness.
To be honest, I never expected it.Ephemerial will be taking an indefinite break.
I need some time to check in with my personal life and reflect on how the café can evolve, so we can remain aligned.
... and I need a break from social events too.I hope to see you again very soon.
In the meantime, feel free to visit the café and the garden
if your heart so desires.Eiri, the person behind Eirlys

About Eiri & Eirlys
Ephemerial is more than just a cafe :
it’s a shared dream between two voices.Eirlys is the soul who lives there, a cute miqo'te born from stories, emotions, and whispers. (IC)
Eiri is the person behind the scenes, the one who runs the cafe, draws the space and welcomes you. (OOC)Sometimes their voices blend, sometimes they speak alone.Curious about the quiet soul of the cafe?
Meet the catboy who brings warmth and soft silence to Ephemerial !

♦ Eiri ♦
he/him
In real life, I'm Eirian.
A multi-faceted person who expresses himself through his characters.
I don’t always know how to talk about myself directly…During Ephemerial openings, I trade raid calls for the kettle’s gentler company... and yours ♥I might be quiet and not talk much.
A little shy, clumsy, awkward but mostly a listener.
But I can also be a chaos lol
I enjoy reading people's story :)Sometimes, I speak softly as Eirlys’ voice, but I don’t really roleplay (only with the sweet Wid)
I just enjoy writing lore for my boy.How to tell us apart ?
Subtle, but pretty easy.
Eirlys is more of a soft whisper.
I’m… a bit bolder with words. And emojis. And sometimes crazy.
The story behind Ephemerial...
out of character version
Why "Ephemerial" ?I had this quiet dream for months... opening a little café.
I even sketched a menu once, just in case.
But I never found the time… or the confidence.
And well... there are already so many cafés out there.Then, usual things happened. Dramas in FFXIV, you knowOne night, I whispered to a neighbor in Lavender Beds :
"I no longer wish for bonds. Just… a quiet space.
To chill, chat or whatever with people I may never see again.
To share something gentle, then let it fade."That’s how Ephemerial was born.
A space for strangers, quiet hearts, wandering souls.
A little garden where we don’t owe each other anything and can just be ~So if you ever find your way to Ephemerial…
Know that you don’t need a reason to come.
Artist, or not artist... Just bring your presence.
That’s always enough ~Even outside of artparty days, the door stays open for those who need a pause or a place to be ~And after a few openings, I learned something :
Maybe… nothing is truly ephemeral.
All your kind words, your visits, your drawings... they stay in my heart.
They keep me going.
And... I didn't expect to have regulars and... even connect again ♥Now, we’ve become a little group of diversity, of chaos in harmony... or harmony in chaos who knows !
I’m grateful I met you all, every Friday feels like fresh air.Thank you.
Ephemerial can exist… as long as you stop by.With all our love,
— Eiri & Eirlys 🌸
