Loss of Sight of the Essential

Since the end of the War of Chaos, Esperia had changed in many ways, making it almost unrecognizable from what it once was.

While some remain nostalgic for that time, when they were the most powerful users of magic on the planet, they were nevertheless not the only ones to have lost sight of the essential.

The use of magic had intensified with its emergence, whatever the element: water, wind, lightning, earth, and fire.

Magic had made life so much easier that, little by little, the relationship of the Espers — the creatures who had developed the use of magic — with nature and their planet had faded away.

Some had already understood that the use of magic had a cost: Aether, the life source of the planet, was consumed a little more with each use.

But, having lost sight of a world without magic, no one was capable of restraining its use, blaming the other elements and gradually destroying the trust that had been so difficult to build between the five elements.

No one had realized that the five elements were only part of a whole, and that the solution had been before their eyes from the very beginning: the essential lay in the cooperation of the five elements, together.

    As one of the central places in Esperia, the Great Library had many sections, but all of them were interconnected. As much as possible, the Espers tried to remind themselves of the importance of the 7 Shapes. A section called “The Basics” received particular attention from its Elders, as all young Espers had to learn

    Harmony may have been the word that best described Esperia—a true utopia where nature, living creatures, and the Espers who populated this world spent their days in mutual respect. With the guidance of the 7 Shapes, and especially Atma, the Shape of Balance, the Espers contributed to sustaining their existence while preserving the land they

    We quickly forget what we don’t see before our eyes. That may be why the history of wars and violence seems to repeat itself again and again. No one can truly understand what happens during wars, during genocides, unless they witness it themselves. Most of those making decisions live in elite spheres, disconnected from the

    Just as the brain needs failure to grow, it also needs to overcome adversity in order to learn. If there is no obstacle, why progress? The twist is that throughout history, this need for obstacles has sometimes taken the form of creating enemies. In many languages, this took the name of “barbarians.” In ancient times,

    With age, we slowly begin to lose muscle mass naturally. And in many sedentary countries, desk work doesn’t help make up for this loss. That’s why it’s important to do a few exercises—ideally every day—to rebuild the muscles that are lost. It’s a combination of a few things: More muscles also mean more calories burned
