| Ardyn Cadeyrn Aodhán Phoenix Adravendi |
Fights broke out all around him, and for a few minutes, Ardyn watched his mother, Cairo, and Domari fight, getting the feel for things. Other fights broke out, and his littlest sister barred by, struggling against the blizzard. And then, he spotted a target to pick out who wasn’t already in a brawl.
Ardyn surged forward, head low and ears back, aiming to come in at Eligos’ right front shoulder. He was almost as big as Cairo, by now, yearlinghood just around the corner, and he was already lean from training hard and leading an active life, and he sought to crash front paws first into the man’s shoulder, padded palms outward as his hind legs pushed off. His claws were sheathed, out of habit mostly. He hoped to stagger the older wolf enough to give him time to string together a better attack.
He’d spotted the two dogs, and Lyr, glowing plumage fluttering in the harsh wind, clucked above the gale, watching for the dogs as well as he found a tree and clung to it.
Ardyn whipped his head to his left and sought to rake the tips of his canines over the right side of Eligos’ neck, at about mid-point.

Walk ---- "Speak" ---- "Labhair an Sean-Teanga." ---- "Hear" ---- Think |
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.
