Keeper and Seeker of this place
♦ Eirlys Tei ♦
♦ E'wid Soleis ♦
Who would have thought that one day, a Keeper and a Seeker would work hand in hand… and even more ?Eirlys first opened Ephemerial on his own, stepping back from his adventures, worn down by all the turmoil.Today, together with his sweet husband, Wid, they gladly open the doors to the place they met... ~
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 🌸
