Ardeo

Ardeo was a minor dragon in the service of Kale Allerion the Dragon Keeper. He hatched in Wizard Fenworth's castle after Toopka quickend the egg by putting it under Kale's pillow while she slept. Ardeo's talent was to light the way. He was loyal to Kale and gave his life lighting the way so she could get out of a forest fire even though the smoke killed him.

His hide of scales looked patchy gray and white in the sunlight but shone like the moon in dark places. A few characters have commented that a minor dragon with a hide like this looks like sloppy porridge.
