Welcome to Esperia — A World of Harmony and Magic
In the enchanting world of Esperia, the Seven Shapes have united to bring peace and balance to all living beings.
At the heart of this harmony stand two guiding forces:
Shala, the Shape of Time,
and
Atma, the Shape of Balance.
They are joined by the Five Elemental Shapes, each embodying a vital force of nature and spirit:
Vati – Shape of Wisdom, bearer of Water
Gurumin – Shape of Empathy, guardian of Wind
Eklea – Shape of Awareness, spark of Lightning
Kenko – Shape of Health, soul of Earth
Faya – Shape of Willpower, flame of Fire
In this peaceful land, magical creatures known as the Espers nurture a radiant force called StarDust—a warm, glowing energy that lives within. It must be cared for every day to keep its light shining.
Through centuries of reflection, exploration, and love, the Espers have gathered their knowledge and stories into a single, ever-growing magical tome:
One Daily Tale
Let its pages guide you, inspire you, and help your own StarDust glow brighter—day by day.

A Simple Life

Just a Little Time, but Daily
Read more: Just a Little Time, but DailyShala, the Shape of Time, understood better than anyone how powerful habits were for the Espers. To nurture their StarDust, it was important that those habits be as healthy and beneficial to society as possible. Why? Because time each day is limited, and the StarDust functions in a special way: a few minutes of daily…

Incoherent System
Read more: Incoherent SystemIt is now widely accepted that climate change is happening—and that its consequences are rather bleak. On top of that, we also understand that the fuels causing this crisis are limited, as are all resources on our shared planet, Earth. Meanwhile, the entire system remains rooted in a growth-oriented economy that fails to take into…

A Trap Named Passivity
Read more: A Trap Named PassivityIsn’t it easy to simply watch what’s in front of our eyes and go on with our own lives?

The Basic Needs
Read more: The Basic NeedsKenko, the Shape of Health, was certain of one thing: unless the basic needs of the Espers were made a priority, Esperia would never know true peace. The right to proper sleep, and access to healthy food and clean water for all, were the very first steps toward creating a harmonious society. These fundamentals were…

Calming Down
Read more: Calming DownThe Shape of Awareness and Element of Lightning, Eklea, had quite an electric temperament. She loved to bounce from place to place, and as swiftly as roaring thunder, she would try to teach consciousness to anyone willing to listen. But when someone was truly all ears, she could also calm down, creating a gentle electrical…
