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.

Early game or End game
Read more: Early game or End gameShala, the Shape of Time, often discussed this topic with the other Shapes. Just like us humans, the Espers had a finite life. So how to spend their time until the end was a question that sparked many debates in Esperia. Some believed that since they had only a few years to live, living life…

We are in the same boat
Read more: We are in the same boatIs this reality truly understood? When we look at how the governments of the richest countries behave, it doesn’t seem so. A consensus on climate change should be obvious. “Because others don’t act, why should we? We’ll just lose the economic war.” Well, since we — unfortunately? — share the same boat, and it’s the…

A Shared Pool of Willpower
Read more: A Shared Pool of WillpowerThe StarDust, like all things, is governed by rules. With Vati’s guidance, the Seven Shapes soon came to understand this. And one of these rules concerned Willpower, and how its use was like drawing from a shared pool. Whenever an Esper used their will to take on tasks that were frustrating or required deep focus,…

Little by Little
Read more: Little by LittleThis was one of the mottos of Kenko, the Shape of Health. “A bit of exercise every day is far more effective in the long run than one full day of training, followed by months of nothing.” Now that the StarDust is known by all the Espers, it makes complete sense. Shala always reminds the…

Ask Questions
Read more: Ask QuestionsEklea and Vati soon became very good friends. Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, always loved asking questions, which came to her mind as swiftly as her Element of Lightning. In Vati, the Shape of Wisdom, she found a companion who would always listen and think along with her. Vati was often surprised by the questions…

Innocence
Read more: InnocenceThe Seven Shapes understood that for the Espers to act in unison, there needed to be shared values and goals — a common foundation for a new beginning. Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy, became a symbol of what must be protected, and of why working together was the only way forward. Her innocence was admired…

I Want to Know
Read more: I Want to KnowJust as being able to say “I don’t know” is a sign of wisdom, wanting to know—rather than passively accepting things as truth—is yet another mark of it. “It is so easy to accept facts as they are, without trying to understand whether they are true or the reasons behind them,” taught Vati, the Shape…

Triple Point
Read more: Triple PointReflections on how to build a world with harmony at its center led the Seven Shapes to place balance at the heart of the matter. Atma, the Shape of Balance—born from the fusion of all Five Elements and the discovery of the StarDust—was understood to be the key to solving this challenge. They contemplated the…
