Ardyn lounged at the top of the tower, tail draping over the side as he gazed out over the land below, pondering. Soon enough, winter would settle around the pack. What would it bring?
Hopefully, only snow.
He rose with a stretch and made his way down the beginnings of a stairway, then down the path to the bottom of the hill. There would have to be a great deal of hunting and preservation of the meats.
His pace picked up to a brisk trot as he passed through the woods and came out onto the plains, eyes scanning before his nose lowered to the ground and he quested around for a scent, one in particular. When he found it, he smiled to himself, veering onto the trail and following his nose.
Soon enough, he slowed, making sure he wasn’t interrupting a hunt in progress before he greeted, “Good morning, Drachen. Care to hunt?”

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.
