Losing sight of priorities

The birth of Atma, the Shape of Balance, when the StarDust was discovered at the end of the Chaos War, was a revelation that transformed Esperia into the world of peace whose tales we now narrate.

While the Espers of the different Elements held only a faint awareness of one another, it was only recently that they finally understood they were beings meant to work together, hand in hand, in order to know themselves better.

Atma, the Shape of Balance, now stood among them as the incarnation of what their priorities should be: living in harmony with the nature of their planet, while working together to develop the StarDust within themselves.

By doing so, each Esper could finally notice the Shadow that lies within them, the unconsciousness that so often makes decisions in their stead.

The priorities of Esperia now rested on concrete values that could be observed within each Esper: their own StarDust.

With this in mind, the Seven Shapes began the work of writing guidelines for everyone, including themselves, so that they too could become living examples of their teachings.

    Beauty in sunny and rainy days

    “Why can’t every day be sunny? I don’t like it when it rains…” asked a young Esper. “Your point of view is very understandable,” replied Atma, the Shape of Balance. “But think about this: if it were sunny all the time, the nature of Esperia would be completely different, as it needs rain to grow.”…

    The Logical Order of Things

    The notion of time and its flow was mysterious for the Espers as well. Just like their inner Shadows, which can only be perceived when the StarDust that lies within them finally shines, Time was difficult to grasp without taking the time to think about it. This is where Shala, the Shape of Time, served…
