Ardyn Cadeyrn Aodhán Phoenix Adravendi

He’d been working on writing out a list, nimble front toes and dew-claw gripping the slim stick dipped in one of the test inks. His mother was nearby, working on her own projects, and then a call filtered into the ravine. Ardyn lifted his head, ears perked, and glanced at his mother.

She rose, and nodded for him to lead the way. “It sounds official. Go ahead and answer it, I’ll be right behind you.”

So, the yearling Heir led the way out of the ravine, his mother falling out of sight behind him as he broke into a brisk, business-like trot, wondering how this test would go. It would be the first time he answered a call at the border first, even if his mother would be shortly behind him.

When he laid eyes on the two at the wall, he didn’t recognize the younger navy and monochrome wolf, but when his eyes lit on Ulric, he grinned, almost breaking his dignified stride to bounce forward before he – visibly – reined in his delight and slowed to a walk as he drew near and greeted the two wolves—although his tail torched briefly in a friendly wag.

“Good morning, Ulric. What brings you to Valhalla?” Clearly it was an official visit, so he maintained his formal – if friendly – stance as Lyr drifted down to perch on his un-armored withers with a cheerful raven chuckle.

Ardyn’s eyes slid to the other yearling, wondering if he’d have a chance to make a new friend today, even as he heard his mother’s light steps drawing up behind him.

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

Ardyn's family (Red, Aurielle, Siblings, Valhalla) are allowed to crash threads, regardless of private tags.

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.
