Ardyn sat on the meeting boulder, tail curled and draping beside his paws over the edge of the stone as he scanned the Plains. He’d spent most of the day on patrol, and now, he was off and could relax or work on some of the less active parts of leadership.
Finally, he turned away from the plains and settled on the stone to attend to one such task. He took up a charcoal writing stick and set to scratching out notes on how many huts he’d managed to get built, both alone and with the help of the pack.
In all, there were now about fifteen per territory. Some were clustered in tiny nodes, but a majority were closer to the border, some meant for guests or perhaps prisoners if that unsavory time ever came that they had one.
Pawsteps approached as he scratched out the last note, and he looked up with a smile, tail tapping lightly in welcome.
“Evening.”

Ardyn at first glance is as black as can be imagined with a raven sheen.
Closer inspection proves that he shimmers in fire tones in every hair on his hide right down to his lashes.
More obviously, he glows like a bed of coals and flames with every movement and brush of fur. His tail is usually wagging, so blazes like a torch.
His adult teeth are in and his saber canines have grown to their full length (see profile). His mane and tail hair have grown to full length, as well as being lightweight and easily buffeted by breezes.
A look at his front paws will give the impression of hands, with his dew claw dropped low and lengthened into a functioning thumb, and his toes elongated into fingers. He has retractable, solid black cat-like claws on every paw.
Ardyn has developed a glowing mast of intricate markings in fire and ice colors over his face, symmetrical over the last seasons of Year 17 (see profile for details). During hunts or raids/sieges, he will smudge them out with black soot to cover the glow, otherwise, they are bright enough to note at first direct glance at his face. Not all his artwork currently portrays the mask markings.
He is also often bedecked in beads, small bells, feathers in blues, ribbons and braids thanks to the Ooze Event of Halloween 2021, and the Coathanger item that he got. The accessories generally are seen most in his mane and tail hair. He removes the brighter items and bells for hunts or battle.
