is... is this lion wearing the Lich King's armor..? Why does a giant cat have the helm of damnation?! Well, i guess if anyone's gonna lead the Scourge it should be an animal who'd probably use all of it's undead minion to find it a ball of yarn and maybe hunt some deer for it while it sits on the Frozen Throne. I wonder what happened to Bolvar...
This mod has so much potential but is unfortunately flawed on a great many levels... The requirement to reach sancre tor in the main quest before having access to this mod is ridiculous. I was already in the mid 20s by the time I got there! I imagine the console command 'player.addspell' might work for those who want the spell earlier but don't know it's id. The level requirement of 30 to actually use this mount after getting it is equally ridiculous and I'm not sure without looking how to alter that in the esp. Luckily I'm now well over 30 so not a problem for me but I can imagine it will prevent many other downloads! A summoning cost of 300 magicka is unbelievably high! I focus on might not magic and even at this high level I only have half the necessary magicka to cast this! The akatosh mount is a free cast! The cost of this spell can be changed easily in the construction set by editing the 'aamaverickxxxxxx' lesser ability. You'll see where it says 300, I changed mine to 1! On top of actually getting hold of the mount and being able to use it, I've no idea what system you tested it on when you ok'd it for sharing but mine was handbuilt little more than ayear ago for gaming and it really ruins my immersion with some pretty bad framerate drops. I tried using nifskope to remove all helmet and leg armour which made the mount both look and work better but I can't imagine many other people taking the time to do the same... Even after that, the turn animation is wrong so that no matter where the camera is pointing when you initiate the turn, Maverick's head is immediately placed in front of you instead of turning from his current heading. (try it if you don't understand what I'm saying!) Also the first person view is awful both with and without helmet as you can see nothing and the movement is very jolting. The explanation for this can be found in third person as the player movement while mounted is hilariously bad! He sways to and fro almost 90degrees while in motion! Furthermore, the addition of 'gears' is interesting but given how fast the creature moves normally and the issues with cell loading that this will bring up on average machines it's frankly unnecessary. It's not like Cyrodil is covered in highways after all and speed is useless in forests and up mountains. All in all, this is a beautiful mount and for the most part very well done but there just isn't a single part of it that's practical... The items needed are locked away in a late-game location, level requirements are insane and hardware requirements even worse. Sorry to say it but this is an unuseable mod. Oh, it also causes me to CTD every time I come near to a city gate location but that could be an incompatability with my city mods or something, it worked fine by the other world locations I visited. 4/10 - didn't think this through...
It'd be great if it were more than just a mount but instead an actual summony type summon for battle as well ... or more importantly. I mean we go through so much to get it and it's supposed to be powerful.

*IMPORTANT*-Due to the location where fragments lie, it's essential to advance through Main quests to certain stage to gain entrance into Sancre Tor.
Specifically ... Blood of the Divines.
i want to play it with my fun characters also but it's impossible to get it without doing the main story
