A Unified Public Opinion

Esperia was in an extremely delicate situation.

The planet itself would continue to exist for millions and millions of years to come.

But for the living beings who inhabited it, the situation was far more complicated.

Years of ecosystem destruction and the damage inflicted upon the environment of their planet had given rise to chaos, which took its most tragically famous form in a global conflict now known as the Chaos War.

Esperia had been the stage of wars for centuries. Within the same country, despite belonging to the same element. Between the different elements.
The Espers did not seem capable of remaining at peace.

But if there was one thing that could finally change the situation, it was for everyone, regardless of their element, to share a unified public opinion.

Until then, no true rule or general guideline for all had ever been established.
And for good reason, the conflicts had hardly ceased, and none of the elements had yet truly realized that they were all part of the same whole.

The creation of a unified charter for all therefore seemed necessary and essential for a harmonious future for everyone.

Laws existed on the scale of a country belonging to one element. New laws now had to emerge on the scale of the planet, independently of the elements.

Yet nothing seemed to show any real signs of change.

The desire to create a harmonious world for all did not seem to exist. Each element continued to see the world through its own prism…

    Like clouds drifting peacefully across the sky, or nature itself, free and carefree, a way of life distant from the material world was increasingly favored on Esperia.

    A Difficult Future

    Vangel, our little dog friend of the Fire element, gazed deeply into the future that The Seven Shapes were trying to create through One Daily Tale. “This is a task that seems so difficult…” he thought.

  • Healthy Growth

    Healthy Growth

    The discovery of the StarDust had led the Espers to take a closer interest in how to develop it. One thing was clear in any case: it already shone extremely brightly, naturally, during pregnancy, but also throughout childhood. The Seven Shapes had therefore thought it necessary to create a society that promotes the healthy growth…

    Losing Sight of What Matters Most

    Simba, our little monkey friend, had roamed across the lands of the different elements. He had noticed one thing: while the elements differ on paper, the behaviors of the Espers were often the same, regardless of the element. He could see carefree young Espers, parents worried by the news of the day, disparities between the…

    On Equal Terms

    Cha Cha, our dear little platypus friend, was discussing one of his theories with Guruko. “When you think about a relationship on equal terms, we don’t usually think about comparing individuals from different countries. We often remain focused on a given country, often the one of our birth.” he thought. “Isn’t that normal? Many people…

    Without Discrimination

    Can we truly speak of equality of opportunity at birth when the place and conditions in which one is born vary greatly from one region of the planet to another? This was the reflection upon which Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, had been focusing. The end of the War of Chaos had revealed that the…

  • Homeostasis

    Homeostasis

    The self-regulation of organisms, which tends to bring them back to a state of balance when there is a fluctuation in levels, is now well understood. Thus, excesses — whether too much or too little — are detected, and systems are set in motion to return to a balanced value beneficial to the continuation of…

    Once in a Lifetime

    What image comes to mind when you think of the expression “once in a lifetime”? A beautiful encounter, a new beginning, perhaps an unexpected event. On Esperia, the notion of time was not so different from that on Earth. But the presence of Shala, the Shape of Time, had gradually changed the Espers’ approach to…
