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.

She respected the most those who used their utmost effort, even if the outcome wasn’t as good as expected, or even ended in complete failure. “As long as you did everything you could, there will be no reason to regret.”…

A simple meal
Read more: A simple mealThough Esperia was now living in peace, many wars had been fought, and the last one, the Chaos War, finally led the Espers to realize that the StarDust, shared by every Esper, was the key to developing a society in harmony. Health was understood to be an essential pillar of that harmony, and Kenko, the…

Simple clothes and food
Read more: Simple clothes and foodEklea liked to hold on to this simple question. “In the end, what truly defines who you are?” It took time to reflect on such a question, and she knew that most Espers didn’t naturally ask themselves anything like this. When you become too attached to the possessions you own, they begin to define you.…

Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness
Read more: Joy, anger, sorrow, and happinessJoy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Human emotions may be what truly define us as “unique” among other living species. We find joy in the little pleasures life brings to us: the warmth of the sun rising in the morning, a cool breeze in summer, the beautiful colors of autumn leaves. Anger, sometimes, arises when we…

Of Adaptation of the Wise
Read more: Of Adaptation of the WiseAmong all, Vati was recognized as a true representation of Wisdom. But she liked to say that it was never a natural gift; it was nurtured with dedication and time. When asked how to persevere in becoming wiser, she would answer like this: “To keep an open mind and adapt to as many situations as…

Pros and Cons
