He’d just finished cleaning out a hut that a pair of raccoons had decided to raid and turn into their home – a fatal choice in the end – when the howl reached his ears.
There was no urgency, so Ardyn took a few moments to wash off in the creek, shaking dry and redressing in his armor and cloak for warmth to finish drying off as he took off toward the call, racoon stink free.
The man was earth toned and older, and as Ardyn drew near enough to catch his scent through the wall passage, he recognized Corbie’s pack scent on the man.
His features settled into a friendly smile as he came to a stop, greeting the man, “Good day; what brings a wolf of Avalon to Valhalla’s wall?”

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.
