He’d been considering the future of the pack for some time. With Ashen moving in – and practically surrounding Valhalla – next door, his initial plans had been forced to shift to the secondary options. Soon enough, he’d gather the pack to discuss their options, but for today, he’d assess the lands available to them.
He’d been here plenty of times. With Spring in full strength, birds of all kinds were nesting, offering opportunities to hunt or pilfer eggs here and there. Moose liked the marshy vegetation. It wasn’t too bad of an option, however much he might have wanted to push further inland instead.
It afforded them a coastal region, with access across the water to the Isle, and perhaps even further expansion to claim the Island as Abaven had claimed their own islands in the east once.
He paused, letting his haunches drop and ears swivel and flick, taking in the raucous cacophony of birds courting, nesting, fighting… They were certainly noisy creatures.
Herbs grew well here, which would please the healers. Really, it was the only option when you stopped to consider it. The spit of and to the west of this marsh was no better than barren rock and dead trees, with dangerous terrain unsuitable for pups and unwary individuals.

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.
