A Walk Across Etheirys

@acrossetheirys / acrossetheirys.tumblr.com

Welcome, and well met, Brave Little Sparks! Gather 'round, and we shall lead you down a path of remembrance through the expansions of Final Fantasy XIV.

Welcome to the official (side)blog of

Here, we heed the words of the Ancients who came before.

"Remember us. Remember that we once lived"
"Has your journey been good? Has it been worthwhile?"

Our aim is to walk, and remember, and share the road with friends. For we are creatures of community, and a story is best shared.

Who are we, really?

We are a group of friends, and story-lovers, who have chosen to make the slow journey through every zone of FFXIV we can. We take these walks by expansion, and aim to add new ones as they arise. Our 2024 walks have come to a close on this, the dawning of Dawntrail, but fret not! Our 2025 walks are scheduled to start on February 1st, and continue every month after to end just after Dawntrail's official anniversary.

"Why though??"

Why not? A little rp walking across the landscape is good for the soul.

When do these usually happen?

2025's will be the first Saturdays of each month from February to July, at 8pm EST. Starting areas and servers will vary, and are always announced beforehand.

How can I get involved?

Simply keep up with announcements here, or on our discord! We'll likely have some impromptu events throughout the rest of the year, especially with Dawntrail around the corner, so keep an eye out!

Any other questions? Feel free to send us an ask, or @ us in the discord!

We hope to walk beside you all soon!

Good afternoon, my fellow travelers. Today is the day!

We set out on our third journey tonight at 8pm (EST), but before we do, I'd like to go over what it is you might expect from this journey tonight. For those who are new, and those who may have forgotten!

First off, our Stormblood walk will be starting on Siren, Aether (or Maduin, Dynamis, if congestion strikes. A call will be made here an hour before we start) at Castrum Oriens.

I will be waiting here a half hour beforehand, so if you'd like to show up early, you're welcome to!

Upon arrival, please come to see Ki'to Vashai and send me a trade. I'll hand over the snacks for tonight's break spots, and you can chill until we depart!

I try to give a bit of wiggle room for people who might be running late, but we will be leaving no later than 8:10 (unless something comes up that requires an extension, such as a last-minute relocation due to congestion)

If you happen to arrive any later, please send a /tell to Ki'to Vashai and I will send you our current coordinates! Just note that we will still be moving, so you'll have to catch up! Unless we're at a rest area, of course.

Speaking of, our rest areas tonight will be at the Ala Mhigan Quarter, Namai, and the Dawn Throne. Each rest area will allow everyone a 10 minute break to hydrate, visit the bathroom, or just chat amongst one another!

The walk itself should take around 2 hours or so depending on our pace. That said, you're welcome to come and go as you please. We won't be offended, I promise!

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please send us a DM, or send me a /tell!

Hello again, Travelers!

We hope you've been having a good time with 7.2! It's gearing up to be a good one! I for one am looking forward to the inbound Cosmic Exploration!

In the rush of patch prep, I had almost forgotten to get the word out that our Stormblood walk will be happening on April 5th, over on Siren, Aether at Castrum Oriens! That's a week and a half from now!

We hope to see you there, and have a wonderful day!

Tomorrow!!

We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow night!

I've been keeping an eye, and if Siren is congested at the appointed time (8pm eastern), we will be switching over to Maduin, Dynamis.

I will make the call around 7pm tomorrow, so please stay tuned!

We set out on our second journey tonight at 8pm (EST), but before we do, I'd like to go over what it is you might expect from this journey tonight. For those who are new, and those who may have forgotten!

First off, our Heavensward walk will be starting on Exodus, Primal at Camp Dragonhead, on the bridge where the aetheryte is.

I will be waiting here a half hour beforehand, so if you'd like to show up early, you're welcome to!

Upon arrival, please come to see U'lohi Tia and send me a trade. I'll hand over the snacks for tonight's break spots, and you can chill until we depart!

Speaking of, our rest areas tonight will be at Idyllshire, Hraesvelgr's perch, and Tailfeather. Each rest area will allow everyone a 10 minute break to hydrate, visit the bathroom, or just chat amongst one another!

We will also have a short stop at the beginning to go visit a dear friend.

The walk itself should take around 3 hours or so depending on our pace. That said, you're welcome to come and go as you please. We won't be offended, I promise!

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please send us a DM, or send me a /tell!

One Hour Remaining!

I have peepaw Midgardsormr parked at Camp Dragonhead in case anyone wants to come idle for a bit!

Hope to see you all tonight! <3

Happy February, fellow travelers!

With less than two weeks remaining until March, I figured it was announcement time.

Bring your warm glams and some hot cocoa, because we're headed to Ishgard!

That's right, our Heavensward walk will be taking place on March 1st at 8pm EST!

We will be meeting at Camp Dragonhead by the aetheryte on Exodus, Primal this time! So please come join us if you can! We'd love to have you along for the ride!

One more week!

Come join us this Saturday for a walk through Coerthas and Dravania!

Went for a walk with @acrossetheirys and company ovo It was a relaxing and joyful time tbh! And I'm going to try to catch the next one for Heavensward :D <3

It was so so lovely to just take it slow and take in all the sights and sounds... I got one more 'nasty' screenshot under the cut cos I grabbed it mid-walk to show a friend; the crystals from the Burning Wall had perfectly speared the Moon.

Oh wow, you weren't kidding about the speared moon!

Thank you so much for taking these pictures, they came out lovely! <3

We hope to see you for the next one!

We set out on our journey tonight at 8pm (EST), but before we do, I'd like to go over what it is you might expect from this journey tonight. For those who are new, and those who may have forgotten!

First off, our ARR walk will be starting on Zalera, Crystal at the Mark of Oschon overlooking the Wanderer's Palace, just west of Camp Bronze Lake.

I will be waiting here a half hour beforehand, so if you'd like to show up early, you're welcome to!

Upon arrival, please come to see Ki'to Vashai and send me a trade. I'll hand over the snacks for tonight's break spots, and you can chill until we depart!

I was a bit lenient on departure time last year, but this year we will be leaving no later than 8:05 (unless something comes up that requires an extension, such as a last-minute relocation due to congestion)

If you happen to arrive any later, please send a /tell to Ki'to Vashai and I will send you our current coordinates! Just note that we will still be moving, so you'll have to catch up! Unless we're at a rest area, of course.

Speaking of, our rest areas tonight will be at Wineport, Camp Drybone, and Fallgourd Float. Each rest area will allow everyone a 10 minute break to hydrate, visit the bathroom, or just chat amongst one another!

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please send us a DM, or send me a /tell!

We're an hour away, folks!

I'll be hanging out at the starting area from now while I have dinner, so you're welcome to come keep me company if you're interested in being early!

Also, for the crime gremlins, if you're not already a part of the syncshell from last year, and would like to be, please send a DM and I'll give you the details! <3

Hope to see you all soon!!
