The Aether Entertainer Magazine
Founded in 2021 on Aether, The Aether Entertainer is player-made virtual magazine covering music, theatre, art, current events, and Eorzean popular culture. AE is a SFW publication that aims to provide information about venues, promote creators and upcoming events, as well as provide a pass time while drinking coffee. We often volunteer or sponsor other entity's events or even host our own at our home location, AE Cafe. New publications are released monthly.

★ Graphic Designer ★
Greetings, my name is Milo Starchild. I am the team's new designer for the Aether Entertainer Magazine, and I have been a member of FFXIV ever since 2.0. Before this, I used to be the lead vocalist in my band Milo and the DeaD StarS; we're currently on hiatus. I also tried my hand in Eorzean cinema as a movie actor and I'm currently in retirement from the business. My inspirations for design have always been my love for 80s and 90s nostalgia as well as horror and the downtown nightlife. I'm not what you'd consider a good writer. In fact, I let the visuals speak for themselves; "Show, don't tell!" is my motto..

Lily Lilari
Cuchulainn
★ Journalist ★
Lily had a knack for writing—ever since she was a young Miqo’te with bright eyes, rose-tinted hair, and a constellation of curious white freckles. From the moment she could hold a quill, she was following townsfolk about, “investigating”—or, as they called it, snooping. She wrote about everything and everyone. The old baker who secretly slipped burnt rolls into the day’s new batch. The fisherman convinced that this was the day he’d catch “the big one.” Her parchment was filled with the life of the village, though not everyone saw the charm. “Writing won’t fill your coinpurse!” and “Mind your own business, girl!” were refrains she knew all too well. Despite her best halfhearted efforts, Lily could never fit neatly into the crafts her kin so valued. Smithing bored her to tears, armorsmithing was a disaster, and alchemy—well, more than one workshop went up in smoke the moment she wandered in. So she did what any restless soul with ink in her veins would do: she left. Now, Lily writes for The Aether Entertainer, shining a quill’s light on the dazzling venues and performers of Eorzea. Her world is words and wonder, ink stains and half-finished notes scattered across her desk. More often than not, she falls asleep with a quill tangled in her hair and smudges on her cheeks. And truth be told—she wouldn’t trade it for all the gil in Ul’dah.
