Welcome to skin team Top Notch's part of the collaboration: a FREE Baroque skin collection! As Æonis was (and is) in dire need of visual representations of their many characters, leaders Stevecurious and DinowCookie started a collaboration between the two teams, with Top Notch creating skins feasible for these past times and Æonis creating a nice showcase map to play and use the skins in!



This fabulous skin pack offers you mindblowing 16 different skins to explore any renaissance, baroque or simply posh environment. These beautifully crafted and heartwarmingly characterized skins were created in the course of a long time collaboration between Aeonis and Team Top Notch! Und now, without further ado, revel!

Jocques Cendrefort and Marie d'Escalle


Jocques Cendrefort is the current Captain of the Imperial Guards. He serves his Empereur and his family without any hesitance. A gentleman of extraordinary manners, he accompanies the imperialty on any occasion. ArcaneKnight perfectly conveyed Jocques’ loyal personality in a skin with a serious facial expression and the clothes of a true Guard’s Captain.


Marie d’Escalle is a senior soldier of the Imperial Army and serves in the Cavalry. Due to her tremendous abilities as an officer, she became the one and only women serving in active duty. Her famous troup called Rouges Impériales (Imperial Reds) is a unit of often decisive importance for a battle. Chabileo created a fierce looking skin of this courageous female soldier.


Nergobert von Bösendorff and Cecilia di Marcetta


Nergobert von Bösendorff is a politician and current minister of inner affairs of the Empire. He is a personal aide to the Empereur, while his extraordinary intelligence and eloquence made him the most powerful statesman of the Empire. Thus, he is often referred as "power behind the throne" or "black eminence / Éminence Noire". The sophisticated looking skin of this character was created by Mourna.


Cecilia di Marcetta is a princess from Ventalicci and the only child of their king. Being of high nobility, she is quite a sassy young girl, but with a warm heart. She is the mother of prince Florians son Leonce and one of the reasons for the ventaliccian entry into the War of the Cantorian Succession. Mythic_Gem gave the skin of her a beautiful layered white gown.


Paul de La Fontaine and Anne of Whelmshire


Paul de La Fontaine is an offspring of an old noble family, currently serving as the personal doctor of the imperial family. When failing in saving the life of Impératrice Belle, he resigned his position and went onto an educational journey deep into the jungles of Aphrina, where he found many unknown plants with possible healing aspects and wrote several books about these. He is now cultivating these plants in a greenhouse in the imperial gardens. Several members of the team worked on a design for the skin of Paul and ultimately DinowCookie created the final version.


Anne of Whelmshire is a lady from Cantoras and came to Castaire in service of her princess Belle, when she married prince Steve. After the death of Belle, her position was obsolete, but she remained in Castaire and got friends with Lukrezia, the child of Belle and Steve, and became her governess. OneCord chose to give the skin of Anne a beautiful black and white dress.


Nathanaël II and Louise von Aldernburg


Nathanaël II was the father of Steve and Michel and the former Empereur. His politics were marked by aggressive expansion and the conquest of several territories bordering the Empire. He never consented to the love between Belle and Steve and provoked a whole war upon this love. His death in 1742 gave Castaire a new ruler and a much more peaceful time to lick its wounds. Aspirin60 took on the challenge of making the skin for this war-hungry regent and was able to convey his character really well.


Louise von Aldernburg was the mother of Steve and Michel, wife to Nathanaël II as well as the former Impératrice. She was born in Prussien, a reikenian state and married the crown prince of Castaire at a young age. Though her marriage wasn’t exactly happy, her two children were her love and passion. Neon1611 and Kaos_Kitten worked together to make a skin of Louise which has a colorful yellow and green gown.


Michel de Castaire and Catherine de Gardelegen



Michel de Castaire is the younger brother of the current Empereur, Steve I Stéphane, and serves as the head of imperial government, titeled Chancelier. While his brother enjoys all the pomp and circumstance of being the world’s most powerful monarch, Michel has to run the whole business and does so by conducting the parliament in his favour. Doot created the skin of Michel and even revisioned it once to make sure it would do the Chancelier justice.


Catherine de Gardelegen is the wife of Michel and a woman of extraordinary beauty. Originating from Castaires most important constituent state Gardelegen, her marriage was arranged by Steve and Catherines brother Marcel. As she is fond of plants, flowers and all types of greenery, her task is to design and maintain the imperial gardens. A1yssa created a skin of the beautiful Catherine which perfectly conveys the her love of plants and flowers in the green and pink colors of her dress.


Fabius III of Cantoras and Estelle of Frennmærk



Fabius III of Cantoras was the former king of Cantoras and brother of Belle. His untimely death in 1764 plunged the whole continent of Esradon into a war for the cantorian crown. Being without heirs and never married, he was a difficult character and hated Castaire and especially Steve for “taking away” his beloved sister (though she had never a strong bond to him). Romto_ gave the skin of Fabius III a set of armor that’s richly decorated with golden trimmings as suits a former king.


Estelle of Frennmærk was the fiancée of prince Florian before the revelation of his scandalous affair with Cecilia di Marcetta. Florians mother Belle arranged this engagement to strengthen the bonds of Castaire and Frennmærk. Nonetheless, after hearing of the situation, the king immediately broke the engagement and sent a distinct diplomatic note, cutting all relations to Castaire. The young princess had no real problem with that whole situation as she never was really fond of the castairien prince. Zatom made the skin for young lady Estelle, giving her a beautiful red gown and a crown to convey her stature.


Corin Carpontierre and Lukrezia de Castaire



Corin Carpontierre is the son of Caelan and Charlotte Carpontierre and grew up in the forester village Boisville. His father was a captain and national hero in Cantoras, but died in the war started by Nathanaël II. Thus, Alex hates the cantorian neighbour to the south and especially the imperialty. Later on, he gets onto dark paths to exacting his revenge on Castaire. HatThing put together the perfect appearance for a skin of a forester’s son like Corin.


Lukrezia de Castaire is the princess of Castaire and heir to the throne. As she is blessed with light rose hair and heterochromatic eyes, her appearance makes it difficult to hide within the people, so she has a collection of suitable outfits. As she will one day rule the Empire, she tries to learn as much about its rich history, culture and people as possible. She also possesses an immense amount of magical powers, which she can’t quite control yet, but they may become important sometime soon … DinowCookie created the skin of Lukrezia in which she is disguised as a commoner.


Ludovit VII and Marynna-Sofia Seigenbazna



Ludovit VII is the ruling Grand Duke of Salowiezka, a country located in eastern central Esradon. He married his wife, Marynna-Sofia, at a rather young age to preserve her throne of Salowiezka. He is also referred to as “the Glad”, marking is enjoyable nature. Nonetheless, his manners and courtial behavior is questionable at best … Ludovit VII is one of the two characters that were newly created for this skin pack, his skin was designed by Romto_.


Marynna-Sofia Seigenbazna is the current Grand Duchess of Salowiezka and the only child of the late Grand Duke. She married Ludovit at the age of 17, following the court demanding the princess to marry. She has a special favour for sentimental novels and developed a character of great sensibility in the following. It is nothing special if she faints at the hearing of shocking news, with Ludovit often seen to carry her over to her rooms then. Marynna-Sofia is the second of two extra characters that come with this skin pack and her skin was designed by Chabileo.
