| Ardyn Cadeyrn Aodhán Phoenix Adravendi |
A rustle of tiny paws brought his attention to earth as a feminine voice called out. Given his having grown up around Aoife, it wasn’t hard to understand the height difference, and he grinned, inky-tail flaring in a wag as he turned to face the tiny yearling, studying her curiously. She was strikingly similar to Theory, especially in the face with those markings.
“Good evening.”
The breeze shifted, and he was able to catch a sniff of her scent, and the friendly grin warmed further as he added, “I’m Ardyn Adravendi, Heir of Valhalla.”
Another firefly drifted past his nose and he paused, watching it drift by and settle on a riverside boulder, blinking lazily. “I’ve never seen blue fireflies before. Have you?”
Wouldn’t hurt to ask for another opinion. If she was from Abaven, maybe they had different fireflies there.

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.
