Compassion Without Borders

To rebuild Esperia, the Espers first had to become aware of a certain reality: they were all in the same boat, which they called Esperia, after the name of their planet. It was essential for everyone to work together to avoid destroying the only ecosystem they were privileged to benefit from, and on which their survival depended.

They therefore needed to open up new ways of thinking that had never been explored before and develop compassion for everyone, regardless of their origins. This was essential to creating a fair future for all and finally living in harmony with nature.

Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, understood well that this would not be an easy task.

Years and years of conflict between the different elements had created prejudice and resentment towards one another.

And letting go is not easy, especially when the other side does the same.

Yet common ground can be found when both sides make an effort towards a shared goal that brings them together.

The destruction of a large part of the planet’s ecosystem during the Chaos War had made a deep impression on everyone around the world, and the revelation of the StarDust had woven the first threads of a bond that would change Esperia forever.

    Perceiving the dilemmas

    The challenge the Seven Shapes had set themselves was far from simple.

    Against the Current

    Making the right choices is not often easy. Especially when the almost insurmountable flow of society as a whole imposes a vision from which it is difficult to break free. Thinking or acting against the current then becomes a trial that is at once discouraging, irritating, and sometimes almost ridiculous, yet within which a glimmer…

    Is There Really a Need?

    Interdependence in a Limited World

    The Seven Shapes had clearly understood that, in order to rebuild Esperia, everyone’s efforts would be necessary, whatever their element. The period preceding the War of Chaos had developed, throughout all the elemental lands, the understandable but fruitless feeling that the fault always lay with others and that making efforts oneself only meant putting oneself…

    Taking Mental Health Seriously

    If there is one thing that is difficult for the Espers to do, it is to properly take into consideration everything that is not visible to their eyes: the future rather than the present moment, the system as a whole rather than their personal situation, the general Shadow of their entire civilization… And mental health…

    For the Espers, managing to recover the artifact of lightning, the spark of thunder, was perhaps the most difficult ordeal for most of them. To do so, they had to cross a region known as the thunderstruck plains, where Aether had accumulated and given birth to a place where lightning struck randomly and without interruption.…
