I remember renaming my civilisation to the “Mobian Empire” after we started to embrace the worm, and change from pacifists to militarists. It was a trip and a half ngl!
Does it? Or is that just what the tadpole wants you to think? You're actually just in a modern day hospital bed, in a coma, slowly dying to a parasite literally eating your brain matter. The fantasy world full of magical races is actually just the schizophrenic delusions of your dying mind.
But it's worth it for the wild crazy Illithid sex.
