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.

    When the StarDust first appeared before the Five Elements, and the Espers who had battled for an endless time, it brought an eerie sensation of plenitude and stillness.

    Sad but True

    Climate change caused by humans is a fact.

    Where ignorance is bliss…

     …it is folly to be wise. Cha Cha reflected on this sentence. It was written in the 18th century by an English poet. At that time, all energy sources were renewable, with little risk of real damage to the environment, as everything was powered by natural elements or living beings. Sadly, history also shows that…
