Lyr croaked as he spotted the signs of approach, and Ardyn shifted to keep his frame facing toward the wolf that was making a quick track toward him.
The woman was one he remembered seeing during Valhalla’s raid with Aerie, and he regarded her with curiosity, wondering who she’d been hoping for. She was older, roughly the same age as his mother, and he dipped his muzzle in a respectful nod.
“No intrusion. I was just setting up camp to fish for a few days. I’m Ardyn, Ard Rí – High King – of Valhalla. I take it you’re from Aerie? I remember seeing you at the raid.”
His tone was pleasantly conversational, even somewhat friendly. He hoped to be warding off a raid from Aerie at some point, and he idly wondered if she’d be fighting in that one, too. As small as the neighboring pack was, they’d have to bring practically everyone they had.

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.
