Equally and Fairly

Faced with the immense task that the reconstruction of Esperia represented, the need to rethink the world as a whole had finally reached the center of discussions.

We now finally understand that we share one single planet,” began Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

“We also understand that the five elements, as different as they may seem, are each a part of a whole. By combining them, we can develop the StarDust that lies dormant within each of us,” she continued.

“Until now, we did not realize that the use of magic was destroying, each time, a small part of the life source of our planet, which we now call Aether…,” noted Kenko, the Shape of Health.

“We must therefore rethink how we organize ourselves by limiting its use… This will not be simple, because the use of magic has made our daily lives easier, to the point where we have become dependent on it.
Becoming aware of this dependence is already a great step forward,” declared Eklea, the Shape of Awareness.

“Everyone will have a role to play, regardless of their base element, their qualities, or their flaws. There will therefore be responsibilities to take on, for all…,” added Faya, the Shape of Will.

“And if, until now, the world may have seemed unequal and unfair, this is also the right moment to adjust the future world in which peace and harmony will now be the foundations of Esperia,” concluded Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy.

    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. The intensive use of magic had indeed forever destabilized the climate, and Aether, the life source of the planet, had reached a critical threshold and was close to…

    A Difficult Future

    Vingel, 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…
