Thismod features a wide range of customizable rooms and services designed to suit
your character's playstyle and preferences. One of its standout features is the
large roster of companions — yes, you can bring them all along at once! ;)
Themain quest begins simply, allowing you to quickly gain access to your own
palace. However, completing the storyline in full will require a well-developed
character. As the narrative unfolds, you'll be transported into a mysterious
Daedric Pocket Sphere, where you'll find not only main objectives but also a
variety of side activities and hidden content.
