Simple Values

Rebuilding Esperia was no easy task.

The civilization of the Espers had gradually turned away from what truly mattered, and the simple values, though essential to the proper functioning of a society that was difficult to manage, were fading away.

The Seven Shapes had understood this problem well and were doing everything they could to bring these simple and essential values back into the hearts and minds of the Espers.

Seven Shapes for seven things the Espers needed to remember.

Among them was balance, symbolised by Atma, the Shape of Balance. It was a value that ran through all the others, and perhaps even the anchor upon which the foundations of a renewed civilisation rested.

Indeed, keeping the notion of balance in mind made it easier to manage each of the five elements that formed the basis of a properly developed StarDust.

The StarDust present within every Esper was the key to the success of their undertaking.

By finally taking care of it, each of them would find their place within a shared vision of their civilisation.

    Admitting the reality of things is not always easy. Society’s words, the education we receive and, consequently, our prejudices often turn our eyes away from a truth that can sometimes be difficult to accept. The civilisation of the Espers was no exception to this rule, but the renewal of their planet, finally understood as essential,…

    Rebuilding Esperia on a sound foundation necessarily meant changing the system, placing emphasis on the values suited to a world with limited resources, where the remaining ecosystem that allowed the Espers to feed themselves and, quite simply, to live had to be protected. The period leading up to the Chaos War had been marked, among…

    Now that the seeds for developing the StarDust had been sown among the Espers all over the world, they needed to be nurtured and allowed to grow. This work had to be done every day and become a new habit for it to bear fruit. Perhaps this was ultimately the most difficult thing for them,…

    When the Seven Shapes first explained the principles of One Daily Tale, a silence could be heard throughout the entire world. It was so simple that it left many of them perplexed, as they had expected far-fetched theories, unreasonable efforts, or even a return to the Stone Age. There was nothing of the sort. It…

    In their desire to create a fairer society for everyone, and one finally in harmony with the nature on which they depended, the Seven Shapes had, without really intending to, laid the first stones of a new civilization. The personal development of each Esper, based on the principles of the StarDust, had led each of…

    Since the end of the Chaos War, the Espers around the world were finally trying to find a path for their civilization that would lead them toward balance with nature. This balance had been lost for thousands of years, and had accelerated with each new revolution of their system. The use of magic had intensified…

    Each Esper saw the world in a different way. But the reality of the physical world in which they all lived was, indeed, shared by all. In this context, some Espers were more aware of their vision of the world and of how closely it reflected reality. Children, who were born without any knowledge, could…

    The Espers throughout the world had the unfortunate tendency to think of themselves as the center of the world. And with good reason, each one was truly the main character of their own story, so how could they be blamed for putting their choices or their own well-being and comfort first? But sometimes, or even…
