What is Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree about?

Given it's an add-on to the base game of Elden Ring, Shadow of the Erdtree is essentially a story expansion, akin to previous FromSoftware DLCs like Artorias of the Abyss, Ashes of Ariandel, The Ringed City, and The Old Hunters. The gameplay trailer did give fans a glimpse at what they can expect, which seems to be more of what the base game had to offer.

Additionally, the expansion seems to be on the same scale as the base game, with vast new stretches of land for players to explore, as well as otherworldly bosses and enemies to go up against, which somewhat justifies its asking price.
