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.
