Explores New Worlds

Translation Codex

Exploration is a central reason for me in travelling into the Strange. Space recursions offer a lot more than others in terms of places to see and cultures to discover. Stuffed with the landing sites of countless worlds, going to one recursion set in space opens up hundreds of new opportunities. The fact that some within those realms are specially trained and acclimated to discovery makes these destinations all the more interesting. Medieval settings can be more about survival or killing than anything else. Space lends itself to discovery as an end goal, providing technologies and expertise for doing so. What more could I ask for as a student of the Strange?
