Fair and Square

When the rules for Esperia were conceived and chosen, it became clear to the Seven Shapes that, in order to create a world of peace and harmony, those rules needed to be fair to everyone.

Vati and Faya spoke often about responsibility and how every Esper also had the duty to be fair and square themselves.

Because the StarDust was the key, building a society where this understanding became the norm was a priority.

“We need to teach the young ones about being fair and square. Being open instead of afraid of others should feel natural,” said Vati.

“Of course, the different Elements had always been suspicious of one another until now…” said Eklea.

“…But that was only because we didn’t realize we had been in the same boat from the very beginning!”

The Great Library of Esperia was the place where the Espers could freely learn about the principles of One Daily Tale.

    When working on One Daily Tale, Vati had the important task of creating the backbone of what “Wisdom” would be built upon. Of course, it was now understood that working with the StarDust, and learning about one’s own Shadow, was essential.

    Now that it was known and understood that using magic consumed Aether—the source of life for all living creatures on Esperia—it had become natural for the Espers to take care in how they used magic.

    Shala was entrusted with a very difficult task: to guide the Espers in living fully in the present while honoring the past and striving for a brighter future. The cycle of day and night on Esperia was much like that of Earth, and the Espers needed rest during the night. For Shala, this natural rhythm

    When the 7 Shapes first began working on their project, they thought about how to make the best use of the StarDust. Because Shala was there, they understood that setting a daily time limit was essential to consider. They also all agreed that, for habits to be “realistically doable,” they needed to be simple and
