It was a question that often came up in the debates at the Great Library of Esperia, which, since the end of the Chaos War, had served Espers from all over the world as a place to exchange ideas, discuss, and try to find compromises on difficult issues.
The Chaos War had indeed brought to everyone’s attention problems that had already existed for decades, but had been concealed by the illusion of a civilization ever more focused on growth and abundance.
The new fashionable gadgets, made possible in particular by the use of magic, which had developed at a breathtaking pace throughout Esperia, were everywhere, consuming ever more resources for a usefulness that was, quite rightly, being called into question.
With physical constraints now at the forefront of every Esper’s mind, it was, indeed, easier to ask the right questions.
And therefore to finally do what should have been done for years, even centuries.
To discuss how to solve truly complex problems, bringing together many different fields of expertise…
And also, and perhaps most importantly, problems that can only be solved through everyone’s efforts, by helping one another rather than distrusting each other…
The StarDust revealed at the end of the Chaos War became an unexpected catalyst for the Espers.
It was an extraordinary opportunity to rebuild an entire system while finally taking into account the physical reality of the world in which they all lived: the one and only planet they all shared…

The Chaos War
It took quite a long time before the Shape of Balance, Atma, and the meaning behind the word “Balance” finally became one of the accepted and evident keys to harmony in Esperia. In principle, it’s simple! In a world with limited resources, there is a clear need for restraint among the living beings who share,…

Past, Present and Future
Shala, the Shape of Time, created a lesson about the Past, Present, and Future. “For ordinary living beings who haven’t developed their StarDust yet, it is very difficult to grasp the Scales of Time. Because, in fact, it’s a paradox: it’s not natural to be able to perceive them.” “We all know we live in…

Nature as a Common Goal
Until the 7 Shapes worked together to create the foundations of One Daily Tale, Esperia wasn’t the harmonious land we had described! It took much effort and time for the Espers to finally realize that preserving the land they lived in was the obvious common goal to pursue. Even though the Espers could create magic…

Mental Health
Simba was a mysterious, monkey-like creature living in Esperia. Though not an Esper, through experience and trial and error, he had succeeded in developing his own version of the StarDust.

Aether
The magical world of Esperia was filled with Aether, saturating the atmosphere and creating rainbow reflections that could be admired just by looking at the sky. While we humans need to breathe air rich in oxygen, the Espers needed to breathe air filled with Aether. Not only did it connect them to the nature of…

The Art of Listening
The section on Empathy in the Great Library was one of the most popular. A nice and gentle breeze always reminded the Espers of the presence of Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy and Compassion.On this day, a lesson was given on the Art of Listening. “Is that difficult?” jiggled a young Esper. “It just means…

The Theory of Harmony
When she wasn’t teaching at the Wisdom section of the Great Library of Esperia, Vati enjoyed spending time at the Fountain of Wisdom—the place where young Espers had their natural element revealed to them. She would sit nearby and reflect on many things. Vati was the one who first theorized the nature of harmony in…
