His nimble digits deftly worked a loop into the snare-cord, then carefully worked it onto the trigger, loop held open and ready by twigs on either side of the game trail. As he stepped back, a flutter of wings signaled Lyr coming in for a landing.
The raven settled on his back and clarked softly. A visitor at the wall. Ardyn nodded with a smile and took off at a trot, ears alert as Lyr returned to the air.
Soon enough, he could see the woman that had called for him. Her base was brown and black, but the white was what stood out. Markings that seemed outline the bones beneath her hide and flesh, a skull-like mask painting her face, rings of dark surrounding her two-colored eyes.
An alphess, but not one he was familiar with.
“Good day, Lady. What brings you to Valhalla?”

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.
