Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glow brightly at night, and it enjoys attacking insects and small animals.

Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it typically marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.

Taken in by and made apprentice to Adeliene, this ungendered eternal (frozen) hatchling (or, in the proper dragon language their master teaches, a "tucurbenlea") is incredibly patient and doesn't mind being woken up at noon to sprinkle sand over a few parchment scrolls. Loving the poetry style they are named after, Decklezdrenbe reads their master's work before it is sent out with the deliverer, Hakuda, who wakes with the sunset, as does this hatchling, when they aren't up for work already. Hakuda only visits once a week (known as a "seven-sun", or "olawikke cloez").
