Item: Torso Armor – Large Battle Accessory
Type: Defensive
Gem Amount: 200 (Ardmas Ardvent 50% discount)
From: Cairo
Other: For Ardyn! The armor consists of hardened bison bull’s hide, dyed a deep black, embossed with stippling. Each segment that lies along his spine is layered, not just with the next in line. Each segment is, in fact, two layers of leather, sandwiching strips of steel shaped to form along his back and not impede his movement, and making an unpleasant surprise for any opponent – or predator – that happens to get a bite on his back.
The segments are attached to one another with supple strips of thick leather, riveted into place and providing full articulation in his body and spine, keeping his movement free and flexible. Across the front of his chest and under his belly, two thick straps buckle into place to keep the leather armor in place.
Small pouches line the breast strap, removable with buckled ties. As well, four large leather pouches – dyed a dark purple – are attached with buckles at either side, two a side, providing storage for emergency supplies, a healing kit, crafting kit, fire kit, travel food, or anything useful he might find. He can wear the armor alone without any pouches or wear all of them, it’s all interchangeable.
Not included in Reference yet: Lyr's cast off glowing black and white primary feathers are braided into cords and stitched to the pouches along the straps, sides, and lids. As well, the leather of the armor and pouches are embossed and carved with celtic/Valhallan knotwork.

Ardyn's family (Red, Aurielle, Siblings, Valhalla) are allowed to crash threads, regardless of private tags.
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.
