Rajarshi Acharya (ID: 000000bc1513f9d9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/15/2021 This expansion cannot be explained in words alone. It's simple to claim that it transformed my life, but the truth is both incomprehensible and unimaginable. This addon has showed me stuff that I would not have seen in meatspace. Because of this, I was able to communicate with the Altheshians and spend aeons in their dream lodges. It also allowed me to see the bloody cosmic battle between the Velantians and the Delgonians. I could write about a million additional similar experiences, but they would only be a drop in the bucket compared to what I saw and felt with this addon.
