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.

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.

    A Simple Speck Among the Stars

    The Espers throughout the world had the unfortunate tendency to think of themselves as the center of the world.

But sometimes, or even…

    Reflecting on a Global Education
