Many thanks to the voice actors and actresses

Skye Rozario - Arvyel

Dani Dodge - Veeya

Chris Moore - Krivaan

Jacob Barlow - Majordomo

Also thanks to:

Unedjis for correcting several mistakes in the Galladrim Tale.

Veronika Alexandrov for pointing out a possible fix for Arvyels dark face bug.

In case the dark face bug appears on Arvyel:

- Open the Creation Kit 2. 0 as Administrator.

- Click on File -> Data... -> check Arc_Cyrae.esp by double click and set is as active file.

- Press "OK" and wait for the files to load (ignore all error messages)

- In the Object Window on the left go to Actors/Actor and click on AAAArcCyraeArvyel.

- Press Ctrl + F4

- Click on "Yes" if asked "Export face gen data for all selected NPCs?" (ignore all error messages)

- Wait for a message that reads "Done"

- Close the Creation Kit (no need to save, as you only exported data but didn´t actually change the mod)

- The bug may be fixed now and Arvyel should look normal.

If you want to use the old Creation Kit

- Follow the steps above.

- Open your Skyrim folder and copy the files in:

Skyrim\Data\Meshes\Actors\Character\FaceGenData\FaceGeom\Arc_Cyrae.esp  (a .nif file)

Skyrim\Data\Textures\Actors\Character\FaceGenData\FaceTint\Arc_Cyrae.esp  (a .dds and a .tga file)

Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Meshes\Actors\Character\FaceGenData\FaceGeom\Arc_Cyrae.esp

Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Textures\Actors\Character\FaceGenData\FaceTint\Arc_Cyrae.esp

- The bug may be fixed now and Arvyel should look normal.
