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.

The Basic Physiological Needs
Read more: The Basic Physiological NeedsOn Esperia, instead of food or water, the Espers could replenish their magical energy by being in contact with nature—by being gently caressed by the flow of water, and by feeling the flowery breeze of the wind passing through the leaves.

Nothing else matters
Read more: Nothing else mattersBut what truly matters to you? Is it yourself? Family? Friends? Status? Money? The number of likes or followers? The planet? The future of the children?

To act or not to act

But children don’t, and it becomes a responsibility—whether we like it or not. We are all born in different places,…
