Festival planning was fun, between him, Amory, Tel, and their mother; he enjoyed the collaboration. He let the ladies take the lead in the details. For him, he was set to survey the usual lands that had housed the festivities the last times Valhalla had held festivals.
With Medusa having claimed the Dancefloor for her pack, that left the basin as the only location left for the festival. It would still do, though housing would be a little more cramped than it used to be.
He strolled around the tree line, gazing down into the Basin, marking out possible spots for a sparring tournament ring, good places for the Nomads’ yurts and tents, plus those of wolves and creatures that came to spend more than a day there. As he tried to recall what the festival he’d attended as a boy looked like, though, Ardyn had to chuckle a little. He’d been little more than knee-high at that point.
Perhaps he should think over the event the coydogs had held. It’d been interesting, bustling with activity and games. Hopefully, Valhalla’s next festival would be as successful.

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.
