Ardyn listened with interest to Corbie’s description of Avalon, nodding in approval as she finished. It was a worthy cause and sounded like something Tornach might have been proud of her for, even with his reservations about packs.
His head tilted, a light grin touching his features as he asked, “So, if a herd of stubborn goats decides to try making this place their home, does that mean I can give them to you? We have one or two herds that decided this pack is a great home, but they draw the eyes of bears and other packs, and I’d just as soon not have small, tasty livestock when there are pups around to serve as an appetizer for a hungry bear.”
A slight shudder rattled his shoulders, flame blooming in the ink-black coat. He didn’t want to imagine such a thing happening.

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.
