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.

  • Making Moderation Appealing

    Making Moderation Appealing

    For the Seven Shapes, this was certainly one of the most daunting challenges. How could they make moderation appealing when the Shadow of the Espers so often drove them to act against it?

    A Collective Responsibility

Simply because…
