An Artificial Environment

After the Chaos War, the entire planet Esperia had to be reconsidered from a new perspective.

During the years of war, and through the relentless use of magic to sustain it, irreversible damage had been done to the environment.

One thing was certain: the conditions of life were going to change drastically, and everyone, without exception, would have to endure its effects.

But it was still difficult for many Espers to truly perceive what they had brought upon the environment, because the inertia of a planetary system that surpassed them was immense, and the most severe impacts would only reveal themselves decades later…

If, until then, a balance had existed between nature and the Espers who inhabited it, the use of magic had destroyed this balance and had gradually created an environment that was now artificial.

The time to admire nature as it truly was was over, even though it had existed long before these beings who had allowed themselves to completely repaint the landscape of the planet.

They now had to live with an artificial nature.

Or rather, survive, for those who had the misfortune of being born in areas already deeply affected by climate change…

    Natural Resources

    In just a few hundred years, the shape of the Earth has drastically changed—mostly due to the use of fossil fuels that created the “world of abundance” we live in today.

    The “Modern World”

    “As long as humans don’t realize their own nature, new technologies won’t solve any real issues.” In the last two centuries, the modern world has given rise to modern civilization: globalization, overconsumption, a world that seems boundless and infinite—a reflection of the most powerful country in the world. But when we understand that the resources…

    Responsibility

    In Esperia, because the 7 Shapes were at the center of how the land had developed, every single Esper was taught the importance of responsibility, and how to contribute to Esperia as a whole when trying new things. This became especially true as the Espers grew their magical powers—the wiser they had to become, and…

    Scales

    Of all the 7 Shapes, Eklea was the most difficult to grasp and understand. This is why all the Espers needed to take time, every single day, to remind themselves how tiny they were in the vastness of the multiple universes they lived in—but also how important they were to one another, and to the…

    Smile!

    Guruko and Cha Cha were reading a part of the book One Daily Tale, about a powerful tool that every Esper on Esperia knew about. It was a smile! When they read this, they both looked at each other, wondering what it truly meant… “A smile can lift the day of anyone who sees it.…

    The Great Library of Esperia

    In Esperia, one of the most respected places was the Great Library. Not only was it filled with every kind of book—written by the Shapes themselves and by Espers on topics like nature or the peculiar laws of physics in their Universe, which allowed the arts of magic—but it was also a place to discuss…
