Intro
Ever felt disappointed by the lack of Illithid-themed gear in the game, or how underwhelming existing options can be?

If so, you've come to the right place!

Illithid Emporium reworks existing equipment and introduces new items to fully embrace a Mindflayer enthusiast’s playstyle.

Some pieces are directly inspired by notable figures—such as the Emperor’s Cerebral Citadel set—while others provide broader synergy, letting you craft your own perfect psionic loadout.

Additionally, all these items now belong to distinct set bonuses, rewarding those who wield their power in harmony. Whether it’s armor, jewelry, or weapons, each combination offers unique benefits, pushing you further toward Illithid supremacy.

With every new piece of equipment, the Emporium isn’t just upgrading your gear—it’s offering you a step closer to true mental domination, drawing from the ancient, eldritch power of the Illithid.

Will you embrace the Emporium’s gifts and ascend to new heights of power?

All effects are fully compatible with vanilla Illithid powers as well as the—completely unbiasedly—superior Illithid Powers Overhaul 2.

Note: Native French translation included / traduction française intégrée.
