♡ PUBLIC RELEASE: MANTIS' A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS COLLECTION (+HAIR PACK!)
Hello everyone! I am very sorry for the delay in getting this released publicly. I wanted to redo Aerion's face as I found it too bulky :( I also re-did the elf ears for most of the heads, so hopefully they look better. Valarr will be added in a future update!
The delay in adding the new Aerion is due to one of our cats, Bear, being very sick recently. He is currently in hospital with lung and heart issues, so I did not have much time to get some modding done this week. We are hoping that he is okay and that maybe he can come home tomorrow, but the vet did say his care will be very extensive as his condition still is not the best and he is pretty old. He may have to be on a few medications for the foreseeable future. It has been pretty stressful and I keep having nightmares about him :( hopefully he will be back home soon!

KNOWN ISSUES/WEIRD STUFF TO FIX
Speak with the dead VFX do not work yet.
Maekar, Baelor and Aerion's eyelashes clip when they close their eyes. I cannot fix this to the extent I wish to, as adjusting the eye bones to fix it ended up making the eyes pop out during animations, so I went with the less aggressive issue lol.
The hairs were made specific to each head, so they may not look great on different heads (especially Maekar's since the hairline is specific to his)
PLEASE NOTE: BEARD ADD-ONS DO NOT MOVE WITH THE FACE, THEY ARE USED FOR PHOTOS ONLY.

Can confirm that reworked Aerion looks fantastic in cutscenes, kudos Mantis! <3 Can't wait for the Valarr/Jace updates. Really hoping for the Nordic inspired pack as it looked incredible from the previews too :)
Thank you! I’m finally reworking my Nordic pack so hopefully it will be ready in a few weeks 😊 I wasn’t happy with some of the faces so I decided to redo some and add some new ones!
What was the outfit used on Daeron?
I love the noses! I knew you wouldn't let use down fair nose queen lol
aw mantis, I’m so sorry to hear about bear! I’m sending so much healing energy to him and of course best wishes to you! take care of yourself! 💖
Thank you so much <3 he’s home now, but still having some breathing problems so we are still pretty worried 💔 hoping he improves in the next few days
So sorry to hear about your cat, having a sick pet is horrible 💔 I hope your baby recovers soon and can come home! These are gorgeous, can’t wait to see the new Aerion ❤️
Thank you so much 🩷 we are very worried, but so far the news from the vet has been more positive than negative :)
The details ✨️
Great mods! I'm only slightly disappointed that Egg isn't available as a Gnome or a Halfling 😂 I can't wait to be dragon sorcerer Aerion though 🔥
Thank you so much 💖✨
THANKS FOR DUNK ILY
OH I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! They all look beautiful <3
They look INCREDIBLE - you're so talented! On my knees begging for Daeron. <3
Awesome! Any plans to do Tanselle or the Lady Rowan Fossoway?
Maybe! I might consider doing fem presets for this pack in the future
I’m gonna pass away these are literally perfect. You are a woman of taste. I loved the show. These look so accurate !! You make the best presets for the game. Mantis, you’re a godsend.
I was the one who inquired about the inclusion of Baelor and Maekar in this pack, and you do not know the speed by which I RAN to subscribe and download these haha. They're phenomenal! Thank you so much! More mature masc faces are always needed. <3
I hope you like them! I’m sorry about the blinking issues they have, hopefully it is not too much trouble when playing <3 but please let me know if it is and I will try to do a workaround :)
absolutely incredible work, as always!! so glad you’re loving New Zealand! 💖
