Ardyn listened to Corbie’s musing, glad that she was willing to undergo what it would take to ensure that Avalon could be kept safe in its position of passive neutrality. While he did have plans to raid in earnest at some point, Valhalla was very much a pack that didn’t generally start shit but it would finish it if pushed.
A chuckle huffed from his throat at her admission of her lack of expertise, and he nodded in agreement at her suggestion of a stake. “Our last raid agreement was with Aerie, and the goal was to capture a flag. Perhaps wool or pelts would do this time for us? Is there anything your pack is in particular need of that you don’t have in your lands?”
His head tilted as he posed the question, mulling over what they had in their own stores.

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.
