The Symposium
MOVING TO NEW LOCATION
UNDER RENOVATION
Open during construction
New Location!
Coeurl - Goblet Ward 19, Plot 32
The Symposium is open to all visitors for casual visit or RP events. Designed for gatherings, conversation, celebrations, gposing, wine tasting and more in a classical Greece-inspired atmosphere.
If you would like to use The Symposium for your longer private RP scenes with friends and guests, you can send a tell to Phaedo Rus (Coeurl) to ensure the space is not already in use. Can also DM jetjetmk2#9278 on discord. (or just go for it, It's probably empty).
Staff NPCs
Eryx - Alci - Ari
Eryximachus is a Wildwood comrade of Phaedo's since their early days in the Maelstrom Navy. Likewise from a family with ties to medicine, Eryx is a constant sight at The Symposium and ensures that no one drinks to excess. He has dirt on Phaedo's past but is proud to merely keep it to himself. Eryx is wary of overly religious people and is fond of Onyx Brandewine.
Alcibiades is a Midlander of some notable military talents and reputation, which became utterly useless to the factions of Limsan Admiralty due to what both privateers and Maelstrom commanders call "inconsistent loyalties". After a particularly cursed expedition, he has taken to hiding out in The Symposium, venting to Phaedo about the futility of politics and law. Not a fan of lost causes. Alci's drinks of choice are Twice Mulled Wine and Ishgardian Brandy.
Aristodemos is the Xaela neighbor who has taken to borrowing Phaedo's alchemy furnace in return for doing handyman tasks. He helps finish off the bottles, especially the Caelumtree Wind. Ari comes around often but is more satisfied with listening and drinking rather than participating in any debates. He'll be glad to help you behind the bar.
About: The Symposium at it's heart is a gathering space, themed after The Symposium by Plato and other writers of the same age, with a touch of Mary Renault. Feel free to take a google dive if you're interested in classic greek history, philosophy, homosexuality, myths, or historical fiction. I recommend the translation by Alexander Nehamas & Paul Woodruff.

Tucked away in a small Goblet estate, this bar was inspired by a real speakeasy (underground bar) with a fake entryway. Drinks, Snacks, Jazz and cards! Yes, Triple Triad matches are allowed in here.
Emerald's Choice is a carbuncle-theme gathering space perfect for relaxing and playing cards with a group of friends or having a meeting in a mysterious, sophisticated atmosphere away from prying eyes.
The speakeasy is always open for visitors and free RP use. You may sometimes see a Party Finder up if Phaedo Rus is online and tending to the bar instead of the NPCs. Feel free to send a tell or just come by.
Drink Menu
Emerald's Choice is a fully stocked bar with all of Eorzea's staple drinks from far and near. The following are just house specials:
Caller's Soul
Adapted from a Mealvaan's Gate secret mix of strong liquor and local fruit, usually forced upon students of the Arcanist Guild on their graduation night. Made with the confiscated liquor of the day.
Late Allagan Ale
A modern recreation of the Allagan Summoner's ale of choice that infuses the Limsan favorite Baderon's Ale with select spices for a bold
and complex mix able to satisfy any primal curiosity.
Three Jewel Tea
A local red tea with subtle hints of fruit representing emerald, topaz, and ruby. Can be served with a splash of Ishgardian Brandy or Blackbelly Whiskey on request.
From the Kitchen
Rabbit Pie
A traditional pastry dish of the Wildwood Elezen formed to resemble a rabbit, but not necessarily containing any meat of leporine origin.
Parsnip Salad
A salad made with fried parsnip slices and garnished with a drizzle of fragrant olive oil.
Spinach Saute
A simple dish consisting of Cieldalaes spinach sautéed in rich salted butter.
No Gil necessary, all food and beverages are "self-serve" RP.
If owner Phaedo Rus is present, he'll be more than happy to grab the items for you!
